It’s so important for our bodies, but too often ignored. For the average adult the aim is eight to nine hours of sleep a night. Your bedroom needs to be as quiet and dark as possible to get your mind prepared for sleep after an active day, why not try meditating for five minutes, writing down your top three things from the day to be grateful for or reading a few pages of a great book before slipping into bed for a good nights rest.

[av_iconlist_item title=’Develop better sunscreen habits’ icon=’ue871′ font=’entypo-fontello’ heading_tag=” heading_class=” link=” linktarget=” linkelement=” av_uid=’av-28nh9′]

Love the skin you’re in and get in to good habits ahead of summer. We all know the drill when it comes to sun protection, yet many of us can get caught out with sunny spring days. Sunburn can be unpleasant and very sore and can increase your chances of developing serious health problems, such as skin cancer, later in life. Wearing sunscreen of SPF 50+ daily to help provide your skin with the best protection, for the longest period of time. Remember, if you are outdoors for a great deal of time, you will need to reapply throughout the day and try to cover up during the hottest part of the day (11am-3pm).

Vitamin D supports healthy bones and immunity and is made by the action of sun on our skin, so our levels can drop quite significantly during the winter months. It can be difficult to get enough from our diet alone even in spring months, you can keep levels topped up with a supplement to support yourself.
