6 Strategies to Welcome Spring with a Refreshed Mind and Body

6 Strategies to Welcome Spring with a Refreshed Mind and Body

 

As the vibrant colors of spring start to bloom across Hong Kong, there's an undeniable sense of renewal in the air. It's a time when nature awakens from its slumber, and we, too, are inspired to shed the old and embrace the new. Spring offers us the perfect opportunity, don't let it pass!

There's no better time to start those good habits than NOW.

 

Shake off winter stiffness:

Engage in moderate-intense physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. That may equate to 30 minutes per day, five days per week. Experiencing back pain? Try these exercises daily to help relieve and manage your back pain, from our Osteopath Guillaume!

 

Adjust Your Sleep Routine:

Winter is the season of hibernation. The gloomy, overcast days and too-cold weather can entice you to stay in bed as long as possible unless you have somewhere to be. Many of us sleep much later than we should by springtime, and it can be difficult to break that habit. One of our best wellness recommendations is to start rising earlier. You'll be able to start your day with so much more time. Additionally, there will be longer days overall, giving you more time to read, work out, unwind with a cup of coffee, and do anything else you like.

 

Get your rays in

The nicest sunshine is in the springtime since it's not too hot yet! Exposure to bright light stimulates the body's release of serotonin, which can improve mood. Additionally, it aids in the skin's production of vitamin D, which is necessary for healthy bones as well as other bodily processes.

 

Embrace seasonal produce:

Reach out for plenty of seasonal, fresh produce for your meals. You will support your detoxification process and feel renewed, nourished, and energized. They are also a great source of vitamins and other nutrients that your body needs to function at its best. Check out what's in season in this awesome Seasonal Fruits & vegetables Calendar from Slow Food HK.

  

Spring clean your body, optimise your nutrition:

It's not your fault if you are having trouble losing weight or if you simply don't feel your best. With its addictive manufactured foods, the food industry has taken control of your hormones, metabolism, and taste receptors. Giving your body a vacation from these things and taking back control of your health, even if only for a week, is the SECRET to looking and feeling fantastic. Here, nutritional guidance can have a huge impact. Tweaking your diet and incorporating key foods into your meals can provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting your immune system and boosting your energy levels. Don't have time to do a Masters in Nutrition or run your house like a restaurant? Get some help from our registered holistic nutritionists Sandra and Puja. They will set out a plan specifically for you and help you reach your goals.

 

Mental Health Practices:

Additionally, spending time outdoors, whether it's going for a walk in the park or practicing yoga in the sunshine, can uplift your spirits and foster a deeper connection with the world around you. If you feel you could benefit from talking to a professional, we have caring and highly skilled counsellors, psychologists and a kinesiologist who can help. You can book a free call to talk to any of them and see which therapy is right for you. Contact us today to book your call or your appointment.
