Lack of sleep plays a direct role in increasing the risk of chronic health conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease, while also contributing to development of irritability, anxiety and depression.
Sleep deprivation may also contribute to impairing immune function 🦠🧬 - which is especially important during the colder months. Start prioritising sleep QUALITY to enhance your wellness!
Keys to optimise your sleep performance 🔑:
✅ Stick to a sleep schedule: getting into bed and falling asleep at the same time every night help's set the body's biological clock, making it easier to fall asleep.
✅ Bedroom should be dark, quiet, and cool: Limit distractions, and keep the room cool for optimal sleep.
✅ Get off screens 30mins before sleep: Blue light from screen use may interfere with melatonin secretion, which is important for sleep. This can also reduce the amount of deep sleep overall, which is important for recovery and restoration.
✅ Avoid caffeine after 2pm: Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine, which is a neurotransmitter that makes us feel tired.
✅ Limit alcohol: Alcohol intake can inhibit REM sleep, which keeps you in lighter stages of sleep for longer.
✅ Exercise regularly: Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day, but try to avoid exercising 2-3 hours before bedtime to allow the body to relax.

First up: MOVEMENT 🏃♀️🕺🤸♂️🚴♀️
Daily movement has been proven in countless research articles to provide benefit for immune function, reduced risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and improvements in mental health!
A recent systematic review found the 150 minutes of mild-moderate exercise per week can provide substantial protection against chronic diseases - particularly cardiovascular outcomes.
Another review found that physical exercise is the single most effective prescriptive treatment for improving symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🤯😵💫
150 minutes per week equates to 21 minutes per day, or just 1.45% of your day total!
✅ So get out for a brisk walk, jump on the bike, get to the pool, or simply chuck on some Dua Lipa and dance for 20 minutes! Your body will thank you for it! 💃🕺
Keep an eye out for our next Winter Wellness instalment - SLEEP

Being your own boss, working hours to suit your lifestyle and working from your home are just some of the benefits that many people are now seeking.
Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women (BPW UH) are running a free, one day Be Your Own Boss expo on 11 July at Lane Park Church to introduce people to the pros and cons of working in self- employment, gig working, contracting and consulting. Timed to coincide with the Matariki celebration, many people may use the time to reconsider their careers and their employment.
With a wide variety of new employment and career opportunities in Upper Hutt, and a growing local population, the members of UPBPW who are organising and hosting the day, believe it’s a perfect time to talk about possible career changes and the opportunities for themselves and their children in this new environment.
At the Expo, people will have the opportunity to hear from potential employers, from people who are already successful in self-employment and consulting and the opportunities for gig workers. A key-note speaker is Kristy Grant, CEO of Lane Street Studios. The recently opened film studios in Upper Hutt has the potential to engage hundreds of contractors, gig workers and support people in the film industry. Other speakers will talk about their own experiences in self-employment, the traps and how to avoid them, the discipline needed to set your own goals and the variety of opportunities that are available.
One of the organisers, Gail Godtschalk, said “when starting my own business 25 years ago I had the support of a trainer and mentor who gave me the pros and cons of being in business and how to navigate a way through. I would recommend to anyone to find their own supporters!” Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women offer collegiality and a safe environment for women to share experiences, talk about employment issues and lobby government on issues relevant to business and professional women.
Today Gail runs a successful massage therapy treatment clinic in Upper Hutt and is a member of BPW UH.
Join us this Tuesday, 11 July from 9am at Lane Church. You can register at the door or here: www.eventbrite.com...
