Despite our best efforts and even when living a very healthy lifestyle, there are times when we simply cannot avoid being under the weather. What do you do now?
The Silly Season is almost upon us! There’s a very good chance that you just read that sentence and suddenly your heart starts pounding, your mind is racing, and you’ve got an ill feeling in your stomach because your to-do list feels insurmountable. You’re not alone. This time of year is typically coupled with rampant anxiety; either from work pressures before you go on a break, watching money just evaporate at the sight of the wish list to Santa or the thought of spending time with unruly relatives.
The holiday season is aright around the corner and we look forward to Parties, fun, sun, laughing, joy and celebration! But the celebrations are usually shortly followed by headaches, shaking, nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, bad eating guilts, weight gain and a brain that seems strangely emptied of all knowledge.
Better health, better bodies, better mental health, better sex, better relationships and just all-around optimisation of body, mind and spirit. We all want it, but it often feels unachievable. We have time constraints, we don’t have the energy to read conflicting literature and studies that leave us more confused than before and it’s becoming apparent that we are all so individual and gloriously different, that its near impossible to know if the advice you’re given will work for YOU!
Parenting in the modern world is hard. Especially during times of work-from-home, how do we eliminate all screen time and all sugar from our children’s diets? I’d venture that it is nigh impossible. In my view, your best strategy is to eliminate the bad stuff as much as possible and make a concerted effort to introduce the good stuff as much as possible, as often as possible!
