You can't be fit, or get fit, if you're not healthy. But being healthy has so many angles and there are so many things to keep in mind that it's easy to lose track and let different areas of your health slip without even realizing. Different seasons mean different health concerns, and so to make this season a healthy one we've got a list (courtesy of Natural Health) of 20 things you can do to help stay well, and fit, this winter:

• Spice up your meals with spices like ginger and garlic to boost your immune system, and hot peppers (if you can stand 'em) to boost circulation.
• Give homeopathic remedies a shot. One they recommend is influenzinum 9C.
• At the first signs of feeling sick try soaking your feet in hot water for about 20 minutes before going to bed.
• Make a point to take some deep breaths every day. Not breathing well and deeply regularly can have a slow but very negative effect on your body.

• Solve insomnia with a foot rub from your sweetie and a hot water bottle on your abdomen. You should be out like a light in no time.
• Do some indoor herb gardening. With some full-spectrum light bulbs you can have fresh herbs all winter, not to mention the mood-enhancing fun of growing a little mini-garden.
• Women beware of vaginal dryness by making sure to stay hydrated. Dry air and increased alcohol consumption during the holidays can lead to dryness and discomfort.
• Make sure you still move. When it gets dark so much earlier and is so cold outside it's easy to let your exercise routine fall by the wayside until spring. Either make a deal with a friend that you'll keep going strong, or switch to something fun and indoors -- like a new class at the gym.
• Stay healthy on flights by using sesame oil to lubricate the inside of your nose and ears (it has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties) and by avoiding airplane food (it's full of unhealthy and nutritionally empty ingredients).
• Relax! Those who get sick are almost always also those who are stressed. Relieve stress and avoid illness.
• Have a bowl of the nutritional power-house Chinese soup called qi. Get the recipe here (#11 on the list).
• Take care of your skin. Winter, with the dry air and harsh temperatures, is particularly rough on your skin. Make sure you stay hydrated and moisturize within a few minutes after every shower.
• Try black spruce oil in the shower. Some people swear by this routine: at the end of every shower turn the water off and rub black spruce oil all over your entire body, paying special attention to the abdomen. Do deep breathing exercises for 30 seconds and then rinse off with cool water.
• If there is no sun in the mornings, make your own. Try upbeat music, brightly colored dishes, anything that will help put you in a "sunny" mood.
• Wear bright colors. Fighting off Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is partly about doing whatever you can to bring happy sunny color into your life. The clothes you wear are a great way to do that.
• Keep your sinuses healthy. We breathe an average of 23,000 times a day, so it's no wonder our noses and sinuses fill up with particulates and other junk. If you have issues with this try a botanical nasal spray, or breathing medicinal eucalyptus oil through a steam inhaler.
• Eat dark chocolate. 70% cocoa is the best -- it can help with symptoms of SAD and PMS. Just make sure you don't overdo it on calories.
  
• Get light every day. 30 minutes daily of natural outdoor light, or from a light box indoors, can help ward off the symptoms of SAD and make the winter doldrums more bearable.
• Get your vitamins in your diet. Eat a nutritionally balanced and complete diet. Going for brightly colored fruits and veggies, whole grains, etc, is a good start.
• Feel something coming on? Drink some warm Ginger tea. Ginger is good for the immune system, lungs, and digestive system.
