Starting a new year is usually the time we refocus our efforts towards health, fitness and wellbeing. As we find ourselves still in the grips of a global health crisis, this new year is certainly no different. So, to help you kickstart your healthiest routine yet, we've welcomed health and lifestyle experts Bodyism to the Naturisimo fold. To help get you motivated and inspired, we asked Bodyism for their top tips for health and wellness during winter, lockdown and beyond. Hero ingredients Bodyism swear by We love to add cinnamon to our matcha lattes and Bodyism shakes which is great for regulating blood sugar levels. Turmeric with its anti-inflammatory properties and marine collagen, as found in our Beauty Food supplement, is amazing for supporting our joint, bone and gut health. Top tips for staying well in the winter months Vitamin D is important for our musculoskeletal health as well as our mental health, and with the darker days affecting our body’s ability to naturally produce it, upping our intake of oily fish, eggs and mushrooms or adding a daily vitamin D supplement will help to support the body throughout the winter months. Also look to boost your immune system with foods high in Vitamin C such as broccoli, leafy greens and peppers, as well as spices like ginger and turmeric. Studies have also found that a walk in nature boosts mood and creative output, so wrap up warm and make some time to get outside despite the drop in temperatures. How to stay fit when locked down at home Maintaining some kind of routine whilst in lockdown is super important for both our physical and mental health. Planning your workout week and booking any online classes in advance will help to keep you accountable and less likely to cancel on yourself. At Bodyism we offer both live virtual as well as on demand classes which presents a great opportunity to try something new from the comfort of your own home, whether it’s a new instructor or trying yoga or pilates for the first time. Boost your health & fitness with Bodyism Smoothie recipe: 200ml cashew milk 1 full scoop of Protein Excellence 1 full scoop of Beauty Food 1 handful of Spinach ½ a banana Small cup of ice Blend altogether & enjoy! Top tips for a good night’s sleep A good night’s sleep is vital to our overall health so give yourself at least an hour to wind down before bed. The blue light emitted from our devices keeps us awake by suppressing our production of the sleep hormone, melatonin, so switch your iPhone to “Night Shift”, or better yet, switch your devices off completely and pick up a book instead. Our Bodyism Serenity supplement is also a great addition to any bedtime routine. A vegan friendly formula, the inclusion of camomile and hops help to calm anxiety and aid sleep, whilst rosemary and liquorice root have antiviral and antibacterial properties.
