How Holistic Nutrition can change your life

By Cristina Poersch

Do you need to change something but are unsure how to do it?

Well, you are not alone in this journey.

When you decide to improve your health or address a health issue, the first step is to accept the idea that YOU need to change. There will be no improvement if you continue to eat and live the way you always have. This may sound simple and easy to do.

Is it really? Why do so many people know they need to change but cannot? Because we need professional help to guide us on that. Natural nutritionists know to analyze each person's needs and the ability to recommend suggestions according to individuals' lifestyles.

Holistic Nutrition is a complete, natural approach to health, from eating the right foods for your body to healthy lifestyle practices to achieve optimal health. It is about connecting with individuals on a whole level. We want to get to the root cause of an individual's health concerns by considering their diet, lifestyle and physical and mental being.

Although this area might sound superficial, Holistic Nutrition is an excellent way of educating clients on how they can benefit from the help of science-based natural nutrients they might be lacking in their diets and therefore be developing health issues that could easily be improved or reduced with the right food(s). Food is our medicine if we eat locally, whole, organic, and unprocessed as much as possible.

But Holistic Nutrition goes beyond diet because clients get advice about natural foods to address their health issues and supplement recommendations that can reduce the lack of nutrients in one's body, providing information on what, how and when to take them. The combination of food and supplements boosts our bodies, and results can be easily seen within a month or even less.

So, the idea of holistic is that each person's issues are treated as a whole. Body, mind and spirit are equally addressed to find balance.

Due to our fast-paced routines, even the most natural and health-oriented people may lack nutrients in their diet. This is because we don't have time for cooking or enjoying a nice meal. This is when supplements boost energy or temporarily provide those vitamins and minerals. Supplements can be taken temporarily or regularly to address a certain health issue, like weak immunity.

Something else to consider when you wish to live healthier is assessing how your feelings impact your metabolism, hindering your digestion.

Your emotions greatly influence how your body receives everything you ingest and digest.

Why?

Because if you are angry, upset, sad, unhappy, worried, etc., your body will be dealing with all these negative feelings and unable to absorb all the nutrients you ingest. Even worse, you will lose control of what you choose to eat. The consequence of this is disastrous food choices and unhealthy meals and lifestyles.

To avoid this behaviour, your lifestyle matters a lot for your well-being.

You should develop mindfulness, exercise, sleep hygiene, and socialize to manage negative emotions and stress. The latter is the main cause of health issues in our society nowadays.

Holistic Nutrition focuses on all aspects of your life. Mindset, self-care, well-being, stress, sleep, and community. It's the whole body and lifestyle approach to living a nourished life.

Last but not least, as each client is unique, the whole routine and lifestyle are analyzed to find suggestions for daily balance so that everything one does helps promote optimal health.
