Have you heard the phrase, “Food is the most overused drug and exercise is the most underused antidepressant”? We’re talking specifically about food and mood link in terms of what we eat and how we feel. Also how exercise plays an important role in that and general mental health and what you can do right now today to help to make some healthy choices towards helping you to feel better and emotionally and mentally as well. What I noticed is that ladies weren’t necessarily putting the links together in terms of the wonderful nutrition that they were now adding to their bodies and how good they were actually feeling. And I know that there’s a lot of confusion out there in terms of what you should eat and what you shouldn’t eat. You must be completely overwhelmed and bombarded with all of this conflicting information so here are just a couple of things that are known to be guiding universal principles in relation to food mood and how it does affect your mental health. Now a lot of this I got for mental health websites and because I wanted to just research that my own understanding of it was true…
I’m excited to chat about today’s topic which is about Menopause Belly: something women in their 40s going through or having gone through Menopause have. So, what is it, why do you have it, and what do you need to do to get rid of it. So what happens to a woman’s body as we move into peri-menopause (which is the pre-menopause) and then the menopause itself has to do with the delicate balance of four major hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone Insulin and Cortisol. The female hormones are estrogen and progesterone but they also trigger and have a great impact on insulin and on cortisol and which are the fat burning and stress hormones which can be triggered by the rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone. The key things that you need to know are that as a woman moves into peri-menopausal and menopausal stage the main thing that happens is that there is a decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen is the hormone responsible for giving us our shape and it is the hormone that makes us more insulin sensitive and also it is the hormone that makes us a little bit less sensitive to stress. So in this…
I hear these things all the time: “I don’t have time”, “I’ve got four kids”, “I’ve got a full-time job”, or “How am I gonna make time?” “I work shifts.” So what I’m going to talk about today specifically is not really so much about the time but about the motivation. What I found time and again with regards to women is that we’re just the busiest people on the planet. We’ve got so many plates in the air, so many different things that we have going on, so many things that we have to look after. We’re responsible for kids and maybe we’re working 9:00 to 5:00 or whatever, we’re just the busiest people. In fact, I don’t think there’s anybody as busy as women. If you don’t make time to look after your body now, you’re going to have to spend more time later looking after being sick. There is something that happens when women focus on their health and their nutrition in terms of having an impact on all aspects of their life. But more importantly, looking at your nutrition now, looking at your body shape change, looking at losing that excess weight that you know it’s…
A busy mum or a busy professional (or both)? Here’s how you will benefit from a home workout! I see one big limitation that stops women from being consistent in their workouts. It is guilt. Home workouts and online programs can cut through that one big limitation. First one is the guilt of “I should be doing something else”. I get it, you’re a busy mum or a professional (or even both!) who prioritizes her kids and career first. So kettlebell training is perfect for you because it can be fitted into the little crooks and crannies of your day. All it takes is just four to ten minutes (and the longest one you can do is probably around 20 minutes) and you are done! It’s actually better to do shorter but high-intensity workouts with bigger breaks than one blasting of one-hour workout per week. If you’re putting all your “exercises eggs” in one basket of an hour per week, you will not get anywhere near the results you’re looking for and you’re gonna do yourself more harm than good in the long run because for women post 35 you’re gonna put your body under more stress. I…
