Holistic health for the mind and body

Holistic health for the mind and body

Howdy, hope you’ve been holding up well. The Coronavirus pandemic is still here with us but hey, stay, positive I believe we will rise above it. All the other aspects of our lives have been challenged in bits over the years but 2020 has clearly been the year that our health has been greatly put to test.

We may not have all contracted the virus but we have all been affected by it in one way or another. For some the blow of the pandemic has got their backs on the ropes but we should try be strong, fight back and help others where we can.

They say our greatest wealth is our health but most people don’t value it until sickness sets in. Today I’ll wear a fitness coach hat and give you a few pointers on how to invest in the holistic health of your mind and body.

Let’s start with your inner self... I remember back in the days when I was taking computer lessons, we were taught about GIGO – Garbage In, Garbage Out. If you input wrong data you get wrong output. Our bodies are not so different from computers, if we feed it with unhealthy food it will give us unhealthy results. I am not saying that we shouldn’t enjoy our buggers and pizzas, once in a blue moon.. However, let’s eat more healthy and nutritious foods that boost our body’s immunity. Plug in regular detox to help remove impurities from our systems. I recommend you try Kreo Cleanse’s scientific detox. Your body will thank you for it.

Once you have your food in order and your detox ongoing, switch it up with some regular exercises. I know working out is not as easy as it sounds but try push yourself to do it. It doesn’t have to be an intense daily work out. Start small with simple exercises then graduate gradually. As you start your workout journey I recommend you get a professional trainer to walk you through. That way he will guide you on the exercises best suited for your body type. I started my journey by subscribing to a health membership club at Hilton Hotel. I got a good trainer, the gym facilities are the best and the group work out classes just gives me psych to keep on going since I get to work out with my friends.

Gyming has been proven to be therapeutic for the mind. There is that energy and psych one gets after a good work out session. In addition to that I would recommend you try yoga as well. It will help you calm your mind and focus on what you need to for that day. You can do yoga from your living room, all you need is a workout mat which you can get from Nairobi Sports House; You can get your workout clothes from there too.

For great results I would recommend you consistently practise these healthy habits. We may not have the cure for Coronavirus but you have the power to do what is necessary to boost your immunity and promote your general health. As you start your holistic health journey, you can visit Kreo Cleanse, VLCC, Hilton Health Club and Nairobi Sports House and enjoy great discounts if you are an I&M bank customer.
