Spring is here, and with it comes a renewed sense of energy and vitality. After a long, cold winter, it’s time to shed the layers, step outside, and embrace the warmer weather and brighter evenings! But as much as we look forward to this season, it can also bring its own challenges, especially when it comes to our health and wellbeing. Here are five ways to help you “spring into spring”…
After months of being cooped up inside, it’s time to get moving. Spring is the perfect time to start a new exercise routine, whether it’s taking up running, joining a pilates class, or simply going for a daily walk. Remember, always find an activity you enjoy as it makes it seem less of a chore!
With spring comes an increase in daylight hours, which means an opportunity to soak up the natural light and take in much needed Vitamin D. Enjoying daylight will also help support many other processes of the body, such as improved sleep, and improvements in both energy and mood. Try to factor time outside each day, at least 30 minutes if you can.
Spring is a great time to focus on your nutrition. As the weather warms up, we tend to crave lighter, fresher foods, like salads and smoothies. This is great news as there is an abundance of season ripe fruits and vegetables that we can consume. Try, where possible, to eat whole food that is locally sourced to ensure it is fresh and full of essential nutrients.
It’s easy to hibernate over the Winter months, but now is the time to reconnect with others and be social. Sharing time and experiences with old and new friends will have a huge positive effect on your mental wellbeing .
Don’t forget to take care of yourself this spring. With longer days and warmer weather, it can be tempting to pack your schedule with activities and commitments. But it’s important to make time for self-care, whether that means practicing meditation or simply spending time in nature, it’s important to take time for yourself too.
Spring is a wonderful time to focus on your health and wellbeing. By getting moving outside, focusing on nutrition and practicing self-care, you can “spring into spring” feeling your best. So go ahead and embrace this beautiful season – your body and mind will thank you for it!
