In today’s world of constant screen time, it can be easy to get into bad habits and not venture outside as much as we ought. Outdoor furniture sets offers a way out of those habits. Whether it’s pottering round the garden or manning the barbeque, being outdoors and bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing.
This month is Stress Awareness Month and with our charity partners Mind North Staffs, we thought there was no better time to highlight some of the benefits of outdoor furniture sets.
Safe in the Sun
We all try our best, but it can be hard to find time to soak up the sun. Fortunately, as little as 15 minutes of sunshine a day can increase your vitamin D levels and help you feel better during those long hours indoors. Vitamin D is an important mineral, helping to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. This contributes particularly to keeping bone and muscle healthy.
So, as the weather improves why not get outside and soak up some sun. Relax on one of sun loungers or up your gardening game with our premium metal sheds. Whatever it is that gets you outdoors, you will be feeling the benefits in no time. Oh, but don’t forget your sun cream.
Reduced Stress and Improved Mental Wellbeing
Spending time outdoors can also be beneficial for reducing stress and improving mental wellbeing, with a number of studies suggesting time outside can help alleviate the symptoms of stress. Allowing time to unplug and slowdown is important and even a short period of time in the garden, outdoors and away from work can help with clarity of mind and relieve any stresses you may be facing. With the better weather coming there’s no excuse.
It’s time to do something for yourself and get outdoors. That’s where we come in… Our wide range of outdoor furniture sets and garden storage products are designed with busy lives in mind. Whether it’s making gardening fun again with handy storage, or optimising family time outdoors with our relaxing garden furniture sets. Get outdoors this spring and discover the benefits of outdoor furniture sets.
