With the cold temperatures, a few tips can help Missourians prepare themselves for the winter months. While days are growing gloomier and shorter, clinical social worker Laura Heesaker says it’s important to stay positive.

Heesaker says whatever you do, have realistic expectations. For instance, folks might be used to running for an hour – but that might be hard in the winter cold.

Health professionals also suggest exercising indoors. Sunlight is key, even if it’s filtered through the clouds, because natural light controls mood-regulating hormones. People with conditions such as arthritis, diabetes or Parkinson’s disease that make it hard to stay warm should speak with a medical professional about how to prepare for winter.
