Why understanding your personal wellness style matters – and the seven different types

Why understanding your personal wellness style matters – and the seven different types

Over the last couple of years, the terms ‘wellness’ and ‘wellbeing’ have become as buzzwordy as ‘self-care’. Rather than being a genuine practice to improve your own mental and physical health, these words are often used to sell us things like scented candles and life coaches. Now, practically anything can be labelled wellness – from exercising and socialising to painting and face-masking. But new research by TUI Blue suggests that the term ‘wellness’ could be doing more harm than good. It found that 86% of Brits suspect wellness trends may have a negative impact, with more than half (54%) admitting to feeling worse after trying a new fad. In fact, the overwhelming nature of wellness causes a third of those surveyed to feel like a failure when it comes to maintaining it – which explai...

Inflammation: 7 foods to avoid, opt for these anti-inflammatory diet substitutes

Inflammation is of two types - acute and chronic and is body's natural response to protect itself against harm as without it, injuries could fester and simple infections could be deadly. According to a Harvard health study, inflammation activates the body's immune system to dispatch an army of white blood cells to surround and protect the area which has been hurt, creating visible redness and swelling but chronic, low-grade inflammation can turn into a silent killer that contributes to cardiovas­cular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and other conditions. Hence, inflammation can be good or bad depending on the situation where on one hand, it’s your body’s natural way of protecting itself when you’re injured or sick and can help your body defend itself from illness and stimulate healing.

Kratom and Caffeine – A Dynamic Duo or an Ill-advised Combination?

In today’s busy world, it’s no secret that you can end up feeling pretty overwhelmed. From demanding studies to prolonged hours in the office, things can easily get you feeling tired and unfocused. As such, you need something to keep you feeling energized and motivated to help you get through the day. Coffee and Kratom are two natural products that you can rely on for renewed energy and focus. For many people, coffee is that “drug of choice” that can be relied upon for a quick pick–me–up thanks to its high content of the psychoactive substance, caffeine, which makes it overly stimulating. Some people take a single cup of coffee to revitalize their body for a few hours especially in the mornings while others take more than two cups particularly to get over the mid-afternoon slump.

What it’s really like needing a FODMAP diet

A diagnosis of gastroparesis had gone a little way to solving the mystery, but I was still feeling almost constantly unwell. A FODMAP reintroduction diet was the next logical step, so I was given a pamphlet and sent on my way. I dutifully read the pamphlet and tried to absorb the science jargon and the seemingly enormous list of foods that needed to be restricted. I quickly decided that I was not desperate enough to learn what felt like an entirely new language. It is funny (or not remotely funny), though, how you come around to these things when your hand is forced by an unruly digestive tract. Over the years, I have caved in to almost everything my doctor and digestive system have asked of me. Keep reading at Body and Soul

11 Natural Remedies for Seasonal Allergies to Help You Find Relief

When pollen or mold spores fill the air and you need to put an end to the sniffling and sneezing fast, you may consider turning to one of the many “natural” remedies for seasonal allergies out there. We get it: The idea of avoiding medication and using seemingly simpler solutions to ease your symptoms sounds like a win-win. However, it’s worth noting that “natural” doesn’t mean much in the context of seasonal allergy treatment—things like essential oils and honey are often seen as “natural” but can actually cause allergic reactions in some people. And drinking apple cider vinegar, which some people claim helps their allergies, won’t do anything for your sniffling—but it may hurt your stomach, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Could herbs help you get a good night’s sleep?

Sleep is a bodily function which is vital to our health and wellbeing. We are awake and busy for two thirds of our life. And we need the other third to restore: to help the brain and immune system to function and to maintain the microbiome in the gut. But during the pandemic, many of us have found it harder than usual to get a good night's sleep - perhaps because of the extra stress of worrying about infection, missing loved ones or loss of income. If you read a magazine article or an internet feature on sleep, it may talk about good 'sleep hygiene', such as not using screens in the hour before sleep and the importance of having a dark and quiet bedroom. It might also suggest using sedative herbs such as valerian or chamomile to promote a restful state. Read the full article at edp24....

Apparently, there’s a ‘vibe shift’ coming, but what will it mean for wellness?

Have you heard the news? According to a now-viral article published by The Cut, there is a ‘vibe shift’ coming – and it’s set to shake-up life as we know it. This isn’t the first ‘vibe shift’, the article says, but rather, just the latest in a series of ‘vibes’ that describe the dominant social wavelength of the day. Struggling to compute a) what the hell is going on, b) whether your early morning yoga and oat milk latte ritual is still a ‘vibe’ and c) if you even care? Let’s break it down… What is a ‘vibe shift’? Remember ‘normcore’, when everyone wore dad jeans and sneakers without a hint of irony? Well, that was a certified ‘vibe’ during the 2010s, coined by Sean Monahan, founder of trend-forecasting consultancy 8Ball, and former co-founder of art collective K-HOLE. Read more at...
