Do you usually feel more tired and lethargic when transitioning into the winter months? Colder weather combined with the lack exposure to sun and vitamin D<\/a> can lead to sluggishness and lack of motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to let it slow you down this year; the best way to beat the energy decline that comes with dark and short winter days is to stay active and to nourish yourself with the right nutrients<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you become less physically active, keep in mind that sports like hockey, skating as well as indoor classes are a fun alternative to the summer activities. Remember, you need to hydrate just as much in winter as in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few ways to support your overall wellness and workout routine with Florida Orange Juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water is critical for your health as it is the main component of all cells. We need water to help digest food, carry nutrients, remove waste, cushion organs and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Adequate hydration is extremely important for the body to maintain proper function especially post workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Florida OJ to your outdoor sports or indoor workout routine can be a great addition to daily hydration. 100% orange juice naturally has a high percentage of water \u2013 almost 90%, as well as other important nutrients like vitamin C and potassium. Consider 100% orange juice as a beverage of choice to support your fluid balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrolytes to support workout recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electrolytes are good for physical activity. But do you know why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrolytes include nutrients such as potassium<\/a>, sodium, magnesium<\/a>, and calcium<\/a>. In fluids, these nutrients carry an electric charge which allows muscles to contract and nerves to transmit signals. Electrolytes are critical for the human body (especially post-workout) to help muscles recover and function properly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Olympian Lysanne Richard knows the importance of electrolyte support for pre and post workouts. Here\u2019s what she shares about getting in proper fluids and electrolytes<\/a> after her weekly workouts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
