Wellness is a complete consideration of health and function. As humans we are very much focused on the body. Following simple processes helps our body function better. The top 5 things that all humans would benefit from are:
1) Deep Breathing-Improving oxygenation to your overall system. Helps with balancing the parasympathetic(the relaxer) and sympathetic(the stimulator) nervous systems. Studies have also shown that deep breathing improves micro-circulation.
2) Exercise/Movement-Just moving helps. improves circulation which helps with oxygen delivery and waste removal. Improves metabolism which helps regulate blood sugars and fats in our bodies. Increases endorphines, dopamine and serotonin as well which improves our moods. Additional measures can be used to improve our micro-circulation and reduce cellular stress providing more energy. Redox signaling and Pulse Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) are such examples. click one the link's below to find out more.
3) Eating a well balanced diet-this can be dizzying with all the different diets that have been advertised. If one looks at the data, there are few things that stand out:
A. Plant based diets are healthier for us. You don't have to be a vegetarian, but 60-80% plant based is key; Minimizing meats-especially red meat. 'Forks Over Knives' is a great documentary with a wealth of evidence and information.
B. Consuming organic based and Non-Genetically Modified Foods. The hormones, additives and genetic modification of seeds/food have been shown in population data, biochemical and genetic analysis to lead to rise in Dis-Ease, oxidative stress, and activation of genes we don't want activated, like cancer genes.
C. Extreme diets are just that, EXTREME. They add more stress on our systems. They may provide an immediate satisfaction, but they are short lived and hard to maintain.
4) Being Present/In The Moment-there are thousands of studies on mindfullness and meditation from DNA studies, biochemical, anecdotal, Retro-analysis and on. All organ systems have been and are continuing to be studied. The benefits are priceless. The simple point is that when you are fully present, thoughts and stress do not affect you as profoundly, and incorporating deeper meditations helps the body heal.
5) Treat others as you want to be treated: kindness and compassion are vital. Teach your children that they do not need to hurt anyone to get what they need in life. This must be done through action and not just by telling them. We must be the example.
