MINDFUL EATING AS A LIFESTYLE

Your Gut Health is more important than you know!

Your gut is the foundation of everything. It aids in the digestion of the foods you eat, absorbs nutrients, and uses it to fuel and maintain your body. So, if your gut is imbalanced and your immune system isn’t working properly, your serotonin and hormones won’t either, making it more challenging to stay healthy. Your gut is also where your body gets rid of metabolic waste and toxins. However, if you have an unhealthy gut, your body will struggle to rid itself of those toxins. If this occurs, it can cause many issues, including chronic fatigue, chronic illnesses and inflammation throughout the body. That is why people experience symptoms such as brain fog, diarrhea, constipation, gas, joint pain, etc. You may not realize it, but the brain is the second gut; therefore, if your gut isn’t working, your brain is struggling too.

​

The sad truth about the faced-paced lifestyle that most people lead today, is that food is no longer a well-thought out part of the daily routine. When people are on the go, they tend to grab whatever is easily and readily available to fuel themselves.

Convenience > Nutrition - has become the way of life for most people.

​

Most people also have erratic meal times too. None of it is helping the body, unfortunately.

​

At Joy of Alchemy, when we say 'Holistic Wellness', we really mean it. The body is a temple, and unless we honour it, it will not work in tandem with the mind and spirit. On the other hand, if all three - body, mind and spirit are working in unison, it is a total game changer!

If you are now aware of how you have been mis-treating your body, schedule a call with us to understand how you can fix this and work on extending Mindfulness practices to your food habits, and make it part of your lifestyle. We would love to help you make that shift!
