Navigating through the whirlwind of trendy diets, supplements, and relentless exercise regimens can leave us wondering if it’s feasible to fit it all into our already-packed days of work, family, and personal commitments.
Let’s get to the essentials.
As a traditional nutritionist and sleep/recovery coach, I’ve learned that quick-fix mantras like “eat more protein” barely scratch the surface. True holistic health involves a lot more. Ever heard of the “octagon of deep health”? Google it for insights into the comprehensive journey toward profound well-being. It encompasses:
🌳 Nature’s influence
Embrace nature and its calming impact, even if it means tuning out from the constant stream of negative news.
🤝 Nurturing relationships
Foster meaningful connections beyond fleeting conversations that lead to stress-induced snacking.
💸 Sustainable finances
Consider how your work aligns with your values. If your job conflicts with your principles, exploring new opportunities might be crucial.
🏃♂️ Active living
Regular physical activity is vital. Aim for at least 30-60 minutes daily and 150 minutes weekly, ideally in natural settings.
🍎 Balanced nutrition
It’s not about extreme diets; instead, opt for wholesome foods 80% of the time for a sustainable approach to eating.
🌌 Purposeful living
Discover and pursue your life’s mission to find fulfillment beyond substitutes like comfort food and binge-watching.
Especially if genetics predispose you to health issues, focusing on these aspects becomes even more pivotal.
