Integrating fun and sustainability is crucial for a successful journey towards a healthy lifestyle. It's possible to reduce stress and enjoy a host of health benefits such as lower cortisol levels, enhanced serotonin production, and improved sleep quality by making lifestyle changes enjoyable. This can be achieved through a community-based approach to health goals, focusing on food quality over calorie counting, finding creative ways to make favorite foods healthier, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle that allows room for spontaneity. Additionally, incorporating more vegetables in your diet in creative ways, choosing enjoyable physical activities, and trying tasty gummy supplements can contribute to a healthier and happier lifestyle.
It’s normal to feel daunted when making healthy changes…
Many of my nutritional therapy clients have felt this way. Not only do they worry they will have to grieve the loss of so many things they used to love, but they also feel concerned that the changes made soon won’t be sustainable, and they’ll go right back to where they started.
A decade ago, when I first began my own health journey, I felt the same way. But as the healthy changes I made became integrated into my lifestyle, I discovered that life could still be fun, spontaneous, and balanced.
And to be honest, if your health routine is stressing you out or making you unhappy, this is actually counterproductive. Stress sets off a cascade of physiological changes that negatively impact your health over time, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, headaches, fatigue, poor concentration, digestive issues, and insomnia.
This being said, finding your balance, flow and FUN is essential to the sustainability of your health!
