Mar 5 Do you get enough time outdoors?

Important for a whole lotta reasons, not enough time in nature is indicated in having a weaker immune system (less exposure to dirt), insomnia (sunlight is needed to regulate your sleep cycles), mental health disorders and vitamin D deficiency (imperative for your health, including strong bones) to name but a few.

As a Mama I find outdoor time a must have as I know it will 1) wear Ashton out 2) help him sleep better with all that sunshine and 3) kids who spend more time ‘in nature’ show more creativity and imagination. But oh my gawd it’s also so nice to go somewhere where I can just plonk myself down and let him roam free - no need for tantrums here!

So as far as I can see it’s a total win. If getting outside daily isn’t something you already do I urge you to make this a priority! Your body and mind will thank you for it.

About Trish

Trish is a university qualified Nutritionist with postgraduate expertise in gut health and healing and 10 years experience working with Mums and kids.

As a Mum of 3 young boys (7, 5 and 2.5 years) she knows what it is to juggle the health and wellness of herself AND a family. With a plan to graduate uni and work with kids, after becoming a Mum herself she realised just how poorly supported Mums are and that if you really want to improve the health of the next generations, working with the women behind the families, is where that health has to start.

Trish is now passionate in working in postnatal care, from those delicate days and weeks after birth to the many years that come afterward. The fact is, postnatal conditions and depletion can exist for many years after having a baby, and for many, the demands of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and the juggle of baby and life will deplete Mums in a way like no other and of course this naturally impacts the way you get to show up and ‘Mum’.

And that’s why Trish believes if we focus on nourishing Mums, we can make positive ripples that will impact every other person in the family. In short, healthy and happy mums = a healthy and happy family.
