In the cold winter months sitting cozily on the couch wrapped up in a blanket is much more appealing than going outside in the wet, cold, maybe even snowy day. But it’s important to force yourself to bundle up, and get outside even when the temperature drops to somewhere around freezing.

So take a stroll in the cold, it’s good for you.
