HOW ARE YOUR LIFESTYLE CHOICES AFFECTING YOU

Did you know that your past and present lifestyle has an immediate effect on your future self? What you do today, will have an impact on who you are tomorrow, and that goes for many things whether it be future personal development goals, personal growth, weight loss goals, health goals, wellbeing goals, whatever it might be. The choices that you are making today are affecting your tomorrow.

This is a six part series and today we are going to look at your immediate lifestyle focussing on nutrition choices and how they may be affecting your

-        Weight

-        Health

-        Wellbeing

-        Aging process

-        Mental Clarity

What constitutes a healthy lifestyle, and what can we do to achieve “Optimal Health?” Just recently I started holding weight loss and nutrition seminars as well as creating fitness and lifestyle tours which runs through my system known as “The Six Steps To Optimal Health”

Optimal health isn’t just about eating right and exercising daily. There are many other choices that we make that can affect our immediate self in the future it includes:

-        Breathing

-        Posture

-        Nutrition

-        Water intake

-        Exercise

-        Sleep

Leading a healthy lifestyle to optimal health, not only improves fitness levels, general wellbeing, longevity of life, it also helps massively in the anti-aging process. Someone who leads a healthy lifestyle will have clearer, brighter skin, fewer lines and wrinkles, increase in collagen and elastin production and a glow.

So what constitutes an unhealthy lifestyle:

-        Late nights

-        Poor diet and nutrition

-        Alcohol

-        Narcotics

-        Smoking

-        Not exercising

Nutrition is one of the most important things that you can do for your inner health and wellbeing. I recently worked very closely with a nutritionist to develop my very own nutrition program known as CTS5N you can check it out http://www.weightlossadelaidects5n.com/

-        Eating organic produce

-        Staying away from processed foods

-        Avoiding deep fried and take out produce

-        Limiting red meat intake to once per week

-        Eating plenty of lean meats such as white fish, salmon, chicken and turkey breast

The reason you should choose organic produce over non-organic produce is because non-organic produce contains many pesticides designed to kill insects that may threaten to destroy crops, but what this does, is a) kills the nutrition in the produce itself, but b) pesticides are chemicals that have been proven to have carcinogenic (cancer causing) properties. The liver being the main detox system in the human body is only able to process so many toxins. When the too many toxins are within the body, the liver can no longer rid the body of the excess toxins, taking them into the blood stream causing the body to become acidic.

The ideal body should sit in an alkaline state, however when the body is in an acidic state, this is when things like diseases become present. Cancer can only survive in an acidic environment and science is now able to prove this. So wouldn’t it make sense to keep the body alkaline and in optimal health?

Not only do diseases thrive in an acidic body, this also causes stagnation, the lymphatic system becomes impaired, thus causing weight gain and cellulite.

Red meat should ideally only be consumed once per week because it is harsh on the digestive system. It takes red meat three days to digest properly, meaning that it can clog the intestines also causing stagnation and the digestive system functions to slow down.

In my next blog post I will cover the importance of drinking high quality water and will be focussing on how to alkalize the body and take It from an acidic state to an alkaline state.

Yours in health and wellness
