]]> Often, the hardest thing about getting in the habit of setting and working toward fitness goals isn’t the workout burn or the finding the motivation. Instead, once you’ve locked in those habits, it’s easy to fall into the trap of making decisions about your health that are unhealthy and obsessive, like making further weight loss, diet, or “gains” goals. These can start to take a toll on mental health. So here’s how to keep self-acceptance in mind when building your habits.

It’s important to remember that fitness is certainly worthwhile, but only to the point that it makes you happy and feel good in your body. In making workout plans, try to also plan rest and a little indulgence into your week. Everything is best in moderation. Yes, that means rich foods and binge-watching TV–but it also means pushing yourself in the gym and sticking to a specific diet. Finding the balance between health and happiness means giving yourself permission to be lazy sometimes.

It’s okay to set yourself fitness goals, but try to be wary of how you do so. At the beginning of your journey, it’s tempting to go all-in and begin an intense regimen of diet and exercise. Not only can that lead to burnout fairly quickly, it’s also a recipe for shame when you break that regimen or don’t reach your goals as quickly as expected. Rather than starting off too intensely, try instead to find a routine that you can keep up sustainably which includes enjoyment and mental health safeguards.

It’s also important to not set too high of expectations; instead, try to see each day that you stick to your routine as a victory and let each new day be an opportunity to feel your best, regardless of how that may look to others.

]]> Herbs have been our friends for millennia. They heal us, make our food tastier, and grow in our gardens. To make the most out of these magical herbs, you need to get to know them and what they can offer. Here are five everyday herbs and their healing properties.

Peppermint

Peppermint doesn’t just taste great and freshen our breath—it can also help relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works by relaxing the muscles of the colon, which relieves pain and bloating.

Turmeric

Turmeric contains antioxidants and is a strong anti-inflammatory. It can help slow the onset of diseases linked to aging and boost the body’s immune system.

𝓖𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓮𝓷 𝓜𝓲𝓵𝓴 🥛☀💛🌞 The vegan version of the infamous Ayurvedic anti-inflammatory drink. Golden Milk helps to fight fatigue, digestive problems and all kind of pain, due to the main ingredient: turmeric 😋 👉 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 👉 1/4 tsp ground ginger 👉 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 👉 pinch of vanilla 👉 vegan milk (I used homemade almond milk, sweetened by dates) 👉 anise (decoration) ➡ bring to boil and sip slowly. It’s best to measure the amount of milk with the cup you’re going to drink out of. For your sweet tooth or if your milk is unsweetened, add a tsp of stevia or any sweetener you like. My homemade almond milk was made with dates, so its already sweet. You can also add coconut oil if you like to. I don’t because I reduce my fat intake, and my stomach reacts sensitively to coconut oil.

Ginger

Giger is also a powerful anti-inflammatory. It reduces inflammation of organs such as the skin and the colon. But one of its most effective properties is pain and nausea relief. It is great for morning sickness or chronic digestive disorders.

Sage

Vaunted for its healing powers for thousands of years, it turns out that sage does in fact improve brain function and can combat diseases that affect the brain, such as Alzheimer’s.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon also reduces inflammation. But its signature healing properties are linked to blood sugar levels. It lowers blood sugar levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and has a powerful anti-diabetic effect.

Here are four of the best medicinal plants to grow in your garden. They will enable you to live a healthier life from the comfort of your own home.

Lavender

Lavender is a great option for reducing stress, soothing anxiety, and boosting mood and cognitive performance. It has also been shown to help you sleep and to aid inflammatory skin conditions.

Chamomile

Famous for being taken as a tea, the wonderfully calming effects of chamomile can also be taken through liquids or tablets. It is excellent for treating anxiety disorders and may even have anti-cancerous properties.

Gingko

This ancient Chinese herb improves brain function and can help treat diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. But not only that, this wonder plant also treats inflammation, anxiety, depression, diabetes, and promotes bone healing.

Tea Tree

The oil gathered from the Australian tea tree treats inflammatory skin diseases, and skin problems such as acne or insect bites. But don’t ingest the oil orally as this can be poisonous.

]]> As physical trainers and healthy lifestyle practitioners, we have all suffered setbacks from an injury or illness. They can break our habits, ruin the good work we have achieved, and prevent us from attaining our goals. While serious injury and illness of course need to be treated by specialists, here are a few steps you can take to help your body heal itself in addition to medication.

Relax

The best advice for recovering from an injury or an illness is to relax. Fewer stress hormones means a better immune system.

Rest

Sleep is a wonderful tool for healing. Over 70% of our healing takes place while we are asleep. If you can get a good quality night’s sleep every night, your body will be much better at healing itself.

Deep Breathing

Deep breathing is an excellent way to reduce stress hormones and improve blood flow. It helps rich oxygenated blood flow all around your body, carrying crucial nutrients.

Meditation

Meditation can improve the immune system and help the body fight disease. Like deep breathing, it is an excellent way to reduce stress hormones which are inimical to healing and helps encourage all bodily systems to function optimally.

]]> Adepts have known for millennia that deep breathing has curious medicinal properties. It is a holistic method of healing that can have a positive impact on both physical and mental health. Here are five health benefits you can expect from daily deep breathing.

Self-Healing

Deep breathing can be described as a means of self-healing. It helps maintain homeostasis and keeps the body’s systems functioning optimally.

Reduces Heart Rate

Breathing deeply and regularly reduces the rate at which the heart pumps blood around the body.

Lowers Blood Pressure

Deep breathing lowers blood pressure which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It also helps the blood circulate properly around the body.

Enriches Muscle Nutrients

Because blood can flow more freely all the way to the body’s extremities, deep breathing can help nutrient rich oxygenated blood supply your muscles.

Decreases Stress Hormones

Deep breathing reduces the secretion of stress hormones which leave you feeling anxious, tight, and irritable.

Improves the Immune System

The reduction in stress levels and enhancement of blood circulation increases the body’s defences, helping it fight of infection, disease, and viruses.
