Ready to Spring Into Wellness?

As the temperatures start to creep up and we can finally shed those jumpers, spring is a fantastic time to prioritise your health and wellness. From fitting more fitness into your schedule to eating the rainbow, there are loads of ways to boost your wellbeing.

Seek Natural Seasonal Allergy Solutions

It’s estimated that allergies affect 30-40% of New Zealanders. The most common are caused by airborne allergens such as pollen and house dust mites.

While seasonal allergies can make it challenging to enjoy time in the outdoors, there are natural ways to ease symptoms. Chiropractic care helps keep the body’s communication channels open, supporting optimal respiratory function, which may reduce allergic reactions. Other remedies include trying a saline nasal spray and incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like ginger and turmeric into your diet.

Take Workouts to Nature

Whether you love cycling, kayaking, running, or canyoning, spring’s mild temperatures make it ideal for outdoor exercise. Not only is outdoor exercise great for us physically, but it also has many mental health benefits.

Welcome Spring with Wellness Goals

Spring is the season of renewal, so it’s a great time to set new health and wellness goals. Whether you want to adopt a fresh fitness routine, eat more nutrient-dense and less processed foods, or get more restorative sleep, use this season to focus on personal growth. Writing down your goals can help keep you motivated and on track.

Swap Processed ‘Foods’ for Colourful Produce

Maybe you’ve gotten in the habit of ordering too many takeaways or filling your trundler with crackers and chips. Now’s the perfect time to focus on fresh spring produce like asparagus, broccoli and spinach in season. Consider getting creative in the kitchen by crafting healthy meals with these and other ingredients. Plan your meals ahead of time, and focus on balanced, nutritious options to keep your body energised throughout the day.
