Here are a few more tips:

Get Exercise: Even if you can’t afford a gym membership and don’t want to go outside in the freezing temperatures. Walk around your house, do calf lifts while doing the dishes, lay in bed and do small crunches or meet a friend at a shopping centre and window show while walking around. Any little bit helps.

Drink water: People often forget that it is just as important in the winter as summer to keep your water intake a high.
