I hear it
all the time ‘I want to be fitter’ when in fact what we really mean is we want
to be slimmer/ look better.
Of course,
we all want to look and feel better – but not at the expense of our ‘health’ -Health
is so much more than a physical image or numbers on a scale.
As Health
Coach I believe ‘healthier’ is more than the sum of how slim we look or any
number on a scale – being ‘healthier’ is three dimensional – 3D – it’s about
eating nutritious foods, that allow your body and mind to thrive.
It all
starts with nutrition you just cannot train your body or ‘run’ out of bad or
poor eating habits.
From my
personal perspective it’s about the nutrient quality of the foods – keeping our
‘guts’ healthy to keep our immune system healthy, that in turn provides us with
the physical and psychological energy that motivates us to move, be more active,
cope with stress, be social interactive and enjoy life’s little and big
adventures
As well as
eating nutritious food, we need ways of coping with stress, improve our sleep
and become active – move more.
Regarding
eating / digestion, coping with stress and sleeping better I have recently
introduced my clients to the wonders of Essential Oils. They are seeing great
benefits in using them.
Essential
Oils – have tremendous healing properties – for thousands, of years many
different cultures have used oils for healing, relaxation, beauty care,
cleansing and as natural medicines.
Essential
Oils – can offer powerful health benefits in as little as one drop, derived /
extracted from flowers, fruits roots, seeds or bark, these oils are created by
the process of distillation.
Essential
Oils – offer us an alternative way to treat many common ailments
·
Alleviate pain
·
Improve digestion
·
Relax your body
·
Reduce stress
·
Heal skin conditions
Essential
Oils can be applied in the following ways
·
Topically – absorbed
through the skin and passed into the bloodstream
·
Aromatically - inhaling
via diffusers or oil burners
·
Ingestion – oils
can be added to water / smoothies and ingested
·
Personal products - making your own personal hygiene products
Depending on
the oil / skin sensitivity you – you can use the oils

Neat – no dilution necessary

There are many
ways you can use Essential Oils and by incorporating them into daily life can
be beneficial in more ways than one.
