Extra Healthy-ish

You know that sense of calm you feel after meandering along a beach? Well, now there’s evidence proving that being surrounded by water can be wondrous for wellbeing. This area of research into so-called “blue health” is investigating the connection between blue spaces, climate and mental health.   Vikki Weston is a full-time adventurer and entrepreneur, and the founder of She SUPs, an all-women’s stand-up paddleboarding community empowering women and girls. Vikki spends stacks of time surrounded by water - standing on it, swimming in it and witnessing people’s mental health being transformed because of it.    In this episode, Vicki discusses the health benefits of stand up paddleboarding and her burgeoning business. Plus, how to get more blue health into your day.   WANT MORE FROM VIKKI WESTON?   You can find out more about Vikki Weston via her website.
