Diet & Nutrition
As an advocate of clean, healthy, holistic living, one must start with one’s daily food choices. From my personal relationship with food intolerances and allergies, as well as my son’s ADHD conditions, I truly believe that optimal health and vitality depend on a balanced and nutritious diet.
Selecting healthy foods, such as whole foods, fruits, vegetables, grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and water, will provide the complex chemicals, vitamins and minerals needed to create and fuel the good energy the body requires to perform optimally, both physically and mentally.
Eating the right foods in the right amount and at the right times supports our digestive, immune, circulatory, endocrine and cleansing systems. Maintaining healthy systems reduces the risk of lifestyle-related diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory related illness, fatigue and certain types of cancer. It can also help us maintain a healthy weight.
The right food choices can improve mental health. Stress related symptoms are reduced, mood is improved, with a sense of being more focused, alert and content.
A nutritious diet promotes a state of homeostasis; fuelling, regenerating and healing the body.
To adopt a nutrient rich diet is actually a simple process, but does take self-discipline and organisation.
I look forward to guide you to vitality.
Movement
Movement has always played an important role in my life. I genuinely feel movement is essential for maintaining good health and vitality, physically and mentally.
Regular physical activity boosts energy levels, builds muscle mass, strengthens bones, and supports the function of our bodily systems. It can also reduce the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, some forms of cancer, and helps to maintain a healthy weight.
Movement is also important to improve sleep quality, mental health, reduce stress, low mood, whilst also increasing productivity, concentration, improve self-esteem and confidence.
We human specimens are not designed to be sedentary; movement is necessary!
By making movement a regular part of your life, you can improve your overall vitality.
Mindfulness
I must confess that mindfulness has always been my biggest challenge in the holistic life principles. I suspect this is the case for many. My manic mind definitely requires mind-work practising to create calm, to rebalance and to feel grounded.
Mind-work is an important practice for promoting overall mental and physical health.
Mind-work involves the practice of paying attention to the present moment and becoming aware of one’s thoughts and feelings in order to improve stress, concentration, self-awareness, and mental and physical health. With regular practice, mindfulness can provide insight into one’s needs and motivations, which can be beneficial for making more informed decisions and creating a sense of balance and equanimity in life.
Incorporating just a few minutes of mind-work a day can help to reduce stress-related symptoms, promote relaxation, and to thus improve sleep and boost immunity.
Mindfulness breathwork can be practised at any time and any place!
When I feel myself becoming overwhelmed and stressed, I often tap into a calming breathing technique to instantly regulate from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous state.
Mindfulness matters to achieve optimum wellness and vitality!
The Holistic Approach
I pride myself on abiding by a holistic life approach as it has served me well through life’s trials and tribulations.
The holistic approach considers the whole person; body, mind, emotions, and spirit in the quest for optimal wellness and vitality.
The holistic philosophy enables one to aim for optimal health and wellness, with the primary goal of holistic lifestyle practices from derived from optimal diet and nutrition, movement and mindfulness to gain a proper life balance.
The holistic approach is also based on the belief that unconditional care and support of oneself is the most powerful healer, and that a person is ultimately responsible for their own health and wellbeing. This goes with the belief that each individual holds innate healing tools and powers within her or himself.
Adopting the healing mechanism involves addressing all aspects of one’s lifestyle, using a variety of methods as a gateway to improving one’s overall wellness, happiness, and vitality.
