How often do you look in the mirror and criticise the image reflecting back at you? We can be our own worst enemies when it comes to negative self-talk. Having objectivity and focusing on the good points is something that many of us just don’t do.
Who doesn’t love a good holiday? Whether it’s a beachy escape, a trip to the slopes or a city break, it’s a chance to rest and reset, to destress and to delight. If there is a downside, it’s that eating well can quickly get forgotten and a few weeks of indulgence can easily turn into months.
Food is so much more than just calories. It’s information. The body is a wonderful machine, constantly sending you signs and signals about the information (or nutrients) it needs to function at its best. The trouble is, when you fall into unhealthy patterns, you unwittingly train your brain and body to think about and crave certain foods.
Most people get – on a conceptual level at least – what they should be doing for their health, but ‘life’ seems to get in the way of achieving that. This is where nutritional therapy comes into play.
Achieving long-term health and energy is a balancing act. Quite simply, what you put into your mind may have as much of an impact as the food and supplements you feed your body.
