Here are a few simple suggestions to help you feel energised before the chaos of the silly season hits. These 5 tips will keep you feeling alive and thriving:
1. Expose as much of your body to the sun for 15-30 minutes a day to keep your vitamin D levels up (Vitamin D is essential for immune function, bone health, mental health and plays a role in hormone functions). Try for times of the day that the sun is slightly cooler to avoid burning. If your skin is sensitive start with 4 minutes and build up slowly.
2. Exercising / move your body; movement is such an understated form of therapy for mind and body. The benefits are vast, improving cognition, metabolism and energy to name a few.
3. Enjoy local leafy greens and plenty of colours on your plate daily.
4. You get sick and tired when your body is stressed, inflamed and not fighting the right battle. Eat an anti inflammatory diet and most importantly...
5. Meditate daily to clear the stress Meditation as I have said many times over, is not the woo woo, orange robe wearing, head shaven practise it was once thought to be. Science has shown us the multitude of benefits getting your zen on has. From mental clarity, reduced inflammation, reduced oxidative damage, better sleep quality and improved bodily function... the list goes on.
