"Every year we put together various stories about how to stay healthy during cold season and how the winter weather affects your body in general. Two tidbits that I found particularly interesting: 1. You&amp;#039;re just at risk for becoming dehydrated in the winter as you are in the summer. We usually associate making sure that we&amp;#039;re drinking enough water with warm weather (or if you&amp;#039;re sick) but the dry air of winter can dehydrate you as well. In fact, I&amp;#039;ve found that because of all the dry heat indoors, I&amp;#039;m actually much thirstier during the cold months.  2. You burn more calories when you exercise in cold weather. That&amp;#039;s because your body has to expend more energy (and thus, calories) to keep warm. So no more using &amp;quot;it&amp;#039;s too cold&amp;quot; as an excuse not to take that daily walk! Why miss out on a chance to torch more calories? Just don&amp;#039;t reward yourself with a post-workout cup of hot chocolate. -Amy Brightfield, Health Director "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
