WINTER WELLNESS SERIES ☔️❄️⛈
As the colder months close in, we will fire through some wellness tips to keep your body fighting fit! 🧠🥊
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
