Eat Stress Away
Prevent low blood sugar as it stresses you out. Eat regular and small healthy meals and keep fruit and veggies handy. Herbal teas will also soothe your frazzled nerves. Eating unrefined carbohydrates, nuts and bananas boosts the formation of serotonin, another feel-good drug. Small amounts of protein containing the amino acid tryptamine can give you a boost when stress tires you out.
The Diet & Sleep connection
The way you eat can affect your sleeping patterns. And a lack of adequate, restful sleep can lead to poor health. Skimping on sleep speeds the aging process and promotes disease by increasing the level of stress hormones in your body.
Mother of all Grains
Quinoa has eight essential amino acids found in protein, thus making it a complete protein. In fact, it exceeds the required and recommended levels, in contrast to most grains, which have very low levels of amino acids.
Benefits of a good night's rest
A good night's sleep is among the top essential needs of our body. Just as food water and oxygen have their role in maintaining proper functioning of our bodies, so too does sleep.
Transcendental Meditation
Transcendental Meditation or TM, as it's universally referred to, has found itself front and centre of a worldwide spiritual regeneration that promotes the benefits of inner peace and a higher state of consciousness. Research shows the health benefits of meditation.
Balance your Hormones with Exercise
True health and hormone balance are achieved with a holistic approach, by considering all aspects of a healthy lifestyle.
Why is Breakfast important
Breakfast can improve your attention, mental performance and memory. If you start the day hungry, your body stays in a fasting state, which makes it much more difficult to concentrate.
