In the midst of a birthday celebration, Rangi and Hūkerikeri (Keri) are caught off guard when two unexpected guests crash through the door intent on robbing the couple.

But things don’t go as planned when the older couple mistake the would-be thieves for their deceased son and his wife.

Winter Wellness Series: SLEEP 💤🥱😴

Sleep is crucial for maintaining optimal physical & mental health. It plays a key role in how the body restores & repairs itself, whilst also improving cognitive function, memory, concentration, productivity and overall performance. 🤯🧐💪🧠

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.

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
