Do you feel heavy, low on energy and tired every single morning? Your body might be reacting to the change of season! The arrival of autumn can disrupt our circadian rhythm (the sleep/wake cycle), leading to fatigue, a sense of unease, or even a passing low mood. The good news is, there are simple tips to help you feel lighter and more energised day after day: a lighter plate, walking, staying hydrated, massage, gentle exercise and daylight. Six simple habits to slot into your daily routine.
Go for a lighter plate
Loading up on pizzas, burgers or cheese fondues is, of course, not going to help you feel lighter… Try setting aside foods that are too fatty, too sugary or too salty, and focus instead on fruit and vegetables, which make for a lighter plate. Good choices include pineapple, lemon, apple, celery, cabbage and leek. All of these are rich in fibre, antioxidants, water and minerals, and contain little to no fat.
Walk more to feel lighter
Walking is a winner on every level! Whether you choose to make it a workout with brisk walking, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll with friends, it will help you feel lighter and get back on form. Walking helps you unwind and release stress, supports better sleep, and works lots of different muscles. After a good outdoor walk of at least 45 minutes, you’ll feel absolutely great!
Stay well hydrated
To feel good day to day, proper hydration is essential! Still water is always a great choice, but why not vary things with herbal teas or plant-based infusions: nettle, burdock, cherry stems and dandelion are traditionally used in infusions. Just note that green tea contains caffeine, so avoid it later in the day if you’re sensitive to it.
Treat yourself to a massage
Many of us are affected by water retention… Swelling, tingling, even discomfort — this phenomenon definitely doesn’t help us feel lighter! If these symptoms persist or get worse, see your GP. Day to day, a palpate-roll massage can give you a real moment of wellbeing. Using your Cellublue Cups, you get a quick and easy massage — and at the same time, you’re building a moment of self-care into your routine!
Try a gentle sport
When you’re feeling tired and heavy, the last thing you want is to jump on a trampoline or push through a boxing session! In those moments, the best approach is to opt for gentle activities that are kind to your joints. Pilates, aqua aerobics, yoga or aqua cycling are all wonderful options. And don’t be fooled — just because these activities are gentle on the body doesn’t mean they won’t give your muscles a proper workout!
Make the most of natural light
Finally, our last tip for feeling lighter and keeping the seasonal blues at bay is to soak up as much daylight as possible. Even if the sun is a little shy and the days are getting shorter, don’t stay cooped up indoors! Get outside, go for a walk and enjoy the natural light and fresh air, even on grey days.
These tips will help you feel lighter day after day! Alongside them, if you love a self-care routine, the 14-day anti-cellulite programme combines capsules and a drink over 14 days.
Frequently asked questions
How can I feel lighter every day?
A few simple habits can make a difference: eating plenty of fibre-rich fruit and vegetables, going for a walk of at least 45 minutes, staying well hydrated, having a regular massage, doing some gentle exercise and getting outside to enjoy the daylight. The idea is to build them into your routine gradually, without forcing yourself into a rigid schedule.
Do these tips work for men too?
Yes, the principles are the same: a balanced diet, regular physical activity, staying hydrated, massage and getting out in the daylight. These habits suit everyone, whatever their gender.
Do I need to follow all these tips at once?
No, there’s no need to do everything at once. Start with one or two habits that appeal to you, such as walking or drinking more water, and add others over the following weeks. What matters is consistency, not intensity.
