Winter Wellness Series: VITAMIN D β˜€οΈπŸŒž

The Chiro from The Chiro - Lower Hutt

The last few weeks have been particularly cold, especially here in Wellington! Usually the coldest nights are followed by brilliant clear days, with the sun out in full force! πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜Ž
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall wellness & supporting immune function. πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ¦ 

Vitamin D deficiency can have a variety of impacts on the body, including:

❎ Bone weakness & increased risk of osteoporosis
❎ Muscle weakness & pain
❎ Impaired immune function
❎ Mood disorders
❎ Increased risk of chronic health conditions

While it can be obtained through certain dietary sources and supplementation, sunlight exposure is a primary and natural way for the body to absorb, synthesise, and utilise Vitamin D!

Key Tip πŸ”‘:
Getting outside for natural light exposure in the morning is an great way to get the day started, and get the Vit D intake! Try couple this with a 30 minute walk so you nail your movement goal too!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
