Winter Wellness Series: VITAMIN D ☀️🌞
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! 🥶😎
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall wellness & supporting immune function. 🧘♀️🦠
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 🔑:
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?
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?

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
