Winter Wellness Series: VITAMIN D ☀️🌞

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! 🥶😎
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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
