Have ave you ever wondered why you're so tired all the time? You may be intrigued to know that one of the most common symptoms of constant stress is fatigue. Here are some simple ways to refill your energy tank:
Find time to be mindful each day. Just a couple of minutes each day engaging in a mindfulness practice like meditation, journaling or deep-belly breathing can help us to switch off and destress.
Get your groove on. Movement is like a mini-vacation from everyday stressors - it's free and you can do it anytime, anywhere. Walk, dance, gym, garden - do what sets your soul alight, mutes your worries, and uplifts you.
Make sleep your new best friend. Research shows that a lack of quality sleep leaves us more likely to feel mentally foggy, stressed, and on edge. Focus on optimising your wind-down routine to help you get your 7-8 hours of nightly shut-eye. Try candlelit evenings, scheduled bedtimes and/or sleeping in a cool, dark room. And although it might be hard to kick the habit, avoiding screens 2 hours before bedtime will help you fall asleep more easily.

Although you may not fully avoid all invaders, you can make diet and lifestyle changes to support all-year-round immune system health. This can be done by:
Vitamin D is a key nutrient for your immune system. Once thought as the vitamin for strong bones, vitamin D actually does a lot more for your body - including supporting your immune system. Studies have shown that vitamin D is necessary for healthy functioning of the immune system, as well as supporting natural immune defences. It is essential for everyday health and wellbeing.
Vitamin D deficiency is common in the winter months due to the lack of sunshine, while many people cover up with sunblock and avoid the sun in the middle of the day during summer due to New Zealand’s harsh sun. This means it’s unlikely your vitamin D levels are restored and it is a good idea to consider a vitamin D supplement. Adequate levels of vitamin D, as well as zinc and vitamin C, are crucially important for a healthy immune system.

Cortisol plays a key role in regulating your metabolism, immune system and stress response. It’s the hormone produced by your adrenal gland that wakes you up in themorning and gets you going for the day.
