Healthy Inspired Living | Menopause

You’re sitting down with your friend for dinner and all of a sudden you feel this flush come over you. It’s surprising! You can feel your face get flushed….it’s got to be flushed because you feel like your head is on fire. You tell your friend “wow! It’s sure getting hot in here!” and she says “really? I’m ok” and she looks at you with a bit of pity. Welcome to your first hot flash! You knew it was coming sooner or later. Your cycle was getting out of sorts and if you have to, you’ll admit you’ve become a bit more irritable than normal.

Healthy Inspired Living Menopause Onederous TribeThe first thing to realize is that this is a natural progression of life. It’s not a disease or illness, although that’s how some physicians may make you feel. It’s important that you and your doctor are on the same page. There are many different choices for handling those pesky symptoms of menopause and you want your doctor to support you in your journey. Do your research, talk with your doctor and if you’re not getting the support you’d like….get a new doctor.

Here’s a thought…..look at that first hot flash as a wakeup call to take care of yourself. Yes, I know you’re busy, busy, busy. But here’s the truth. If you don’t make time for your health now, you’ll have to make time for sickness later. We have to be intentional in making that time. It’s simply not going to magically happen. So schedule that time at the gym or for a walk and honor it. Commit to eating healthier and making better choices. Your lifestyle can have a tremendous impact on how you feel as you go through menopause.

This is such an interesting time as your body goes through “The Change”. You’ll hear from friends that sailed right through menopause and then others have a much harder time. Although it’s natural, it is a complex issue and there’s no one solution that’s the right fit for everyone.

If you’re looking for natural solutions that actually work, contact me and we’ll sit down together and come up with an action plan to get your symptoms under control and feel great!

Living a Healthy Life | Inspired Action

Live a Healthy Lifestyle | Inspired ActionIn the fast paced world that we live in it can be easy to neglect our health and wellness. We’re so busy racing through our day to day lives – family, friends, work, social engagements – that we don’t take the time to look after ourselves. It’s really no wonder that so many of us are tired and run down. What are some simple things that we can do to improve our quality of life?

Drink Drink Drink…

You’ve heard it a million times and you’ll probably hear it a million more – drink more water!

Think about it: The human body is 72% water. A 5% drop in fluids creates a 25-30% loss in energy. A 15% drop in fluids causes death! At this point in time 66% of us aren’t drinking enough water, so over half the population isn’t running on all six cylinders to begin with – before things like bad air, bad food and stress take their toll.

It’s not really a difficult thing to remedy. Just drink one glass of water every half hour or so – or 10-12 glasses of water per day – and you’ll notice a huge jump in your energy levels.

Living Food – Loving Life!

A little known fact is that heating food above 116°F destroys much of the nutrient content. Considering that we already aren’t eating enough veggies, that’s a fairly substantial problem. Nutritionists recommend five serves of fresh vegetables per day. How many of us are actually taking that advice?

A great way to get the nutrients found in fresh veggies without spending all day at stove or eating raw celery sticks is to juice your veggies. Make sure that you own a good juicer (some juicers expose vegetables to heat created by friction during juicing, which breaks down important enzymes), grab some fresh vegetables and drink your way to good health. It takes a fraction of the time (there’s no cooking involved, for one thing) and it’s convenient. You can take your juice to work and even give some to the littlies for school lunches!

Wheatgrass in particular is an excellent source of nutrition. It’s high in chlorophyll (sometimes described as ‘plant blood’ because it closely resembles human red blood cell molecules) and has over 100 elements that the body needs. Fresh grains are another excellent source for vitamins and minerals.

Energy In – Energy Out

Exercise is another dirty word for most of us. The thing is, exercise doesn’t have to be horribly time consuming or mind-numbingly boring. There are plenty of options.

Years ago gyms usually offered weight rooms, aerobics classes and maybe a tydro-circuit. Now you can add water aerobics, yoga, pilates, dance-ercise, step classes and a whole range of new workout options.

If you don’t really have the time or money for the gym, or prefer to spend your mornings/nights at home, then try an exercise bike or walker. I’d be lost without my exercise bike – I set it up in front of the television and peddle away merrily during my favourite shows.

If, like me, you suffer from illness or injury or your level of fitness is quite low, you might like to consider some invaluable advice that I got from my doctor:

Once you’re physically unfit, and particularly if you’re also unwell, it can be a mammoth battle to just do the most minimal amount of exercise in a day. The danger is that inactivity leads to further loss of energy, which becomes a self-perpetuating cycle until you can barely get off the couch.

An excellent way to get back into a physical routine is to start slowly. Ridiculously slowly, it may seem. For the first couple of weeks, walk/ride for 5 minutes per day – exactly 5 minutes, no more, even if you think you could continue. When the 2 weeks are up, increase to 7 minutes, then 10 minutes, 12 minutes… continue to gradually increase your activity until you’re at a level that you’re comfortable with.

It may sound a little silly, but it works. In effect, you trick your body into producing more energy. You’re building your exercise time up so slowly that your body doesn’t really realise what’s happening. Follow this method and, before you know it, you’ll be comfortably exercising within your limits every day.

So, folks, that’s the basics. If you can rearrange your life a little to allow for better eating habits and a little exercise, and if you remember to just drink a glass of water every half hour or so, you’ll be well on the way to living a healthy life. On a final note, don’t forget to take some quiet time for yourself. Meditating is an excellent way to minimise stress. You don’t have to sit around for hours, just give yourself 5 minutes of quiet time every day – even in the shower, if that’s the only place where you can get time out – and have a little catch up with yourself.

And, last but by no means least, laugh! In fact, laugh like a loon – the louder the better! You’ll be amazed at how much such a simple thing can lift your spirits!
