I am blessed to work with a group of talented, wise and compassionate naturopaths at Blackmores. Looking around at the team the other day, I wondered just what keeps these naturopaths at the top of their game, healthy and happy. You may be surprised – it isn’t all mung beans and tofu!
Gina- “Remember to breathe- long deep breaths have so many benefits for our health physically and emotionally. From suppling oxygen to reducing stress and anxiety, breathing is easy, free and effective.”
Julie-Anne- “Smile and laugh – it’ll make you and those around you feel instantly better. We can’t control what happens to us in life, but we can decide on how we respond.”
Sophie- “Get moving, we’re not designed to be still so try and incorporate at least 20 minutes of exercise into every day.”
Jennifer- “Get a good night’s sleep –and plenty of it. Sleep is so important to help maintain your energy, keep a clear mind, healthy immune resistance and stress management just to name a few.
Kate- “Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water – adding lemon juice and a little Celtic sea salt can aid hydration.
Rebekah- “Foster healthy relationships as a good support network around you is vital for emotional health.
Rosaria- “Eat fermented foods, daily if possible. This is great for the health of your gut, is inexpensive and tasty too!”
Narelle- “Be sure to get your daily dose of vitamin D and get outside! Sunlight provides vital energy for life and our mood, immune system, bones and it just feels good; just remember to be sun safe.”
Kath-“Have a passion. Living with purpose provides meaning to this whirlwind we call life.
And my tip- Follow the 80:20 rule – that is, do the ‘right thing’ 80% of the time, and then relax a little and do what you enjoy for the remaining 20%. Long term health is all about balance!
