Natural Ways to Keep Healthy

Whilst we benefit from advanced medicine, technology and instant solutions, it’s important that we value a natural approach to our general health and wellbeing. Embracing a more organic lifestyle means less need for conventional medicine and a purer approach to our journey to lifelong whole being wellness.

While modern medicine plays a vital role in treating illnesses, the benefits of incorporating natural methods into our daily lives can bolster our overall wellness considerably. Kamalaya’s team of wellness experts share their tips for effective and accessible ways to stay healthy naturally.

Prioritise a nutrient-rich diet:

A well-balanced diet that’s as close to organic as possible is the foundation of good health. Choose whole, unprocessed foods rich in essential nutrients, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats. Make sure that your dishes are colourful with fruit, vegetables and natural products that provide a diverse intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Adequate hydration is also vital; aim for at least eight glasses of water per day and add fruit to flavour with more minerals.

Practice mindful eating:

Mindful eating involves paying attention to the food that you eat. Savouring it, activating your body’s hunger and fullness cues while appreciating the food with all senses. Slow down, chew thoroughly and appreciate the flavours and textures of your food. This practice can improve digestion, prevent overeating and enhance the overall enjoyment of meals.

Regular exercise:

Regular physical activity not only helps maintain a natural healthy weight but also contributes to cardiovascular health, mental wellbeing and improved immune function. All of these help us to maintain our holistic health and there are plenty of ways to do it. Engage in activities you enjoy, such as forest bathing, jogging, dancing, swimming or yoga, and incorporate them into your daily routine.

Prioritise quality sleep:

Sleep is a super drug and getting enough of it is essential for optimal health, wellbeing and optimal functioning. Make it a priority by establishing a consistent sleep schedule, creating a calming bedtime routine and ensuring a comfortable sleep environment. Most adults require 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to perform at their best and benefit from enhanced physical and cognitive functioning.

Manage stress levels:

Chronic stress or regular bouts of it can negatively impact our physical, emotional and spiritual health. Incorporate stress-management techniques like meditation, mindfulness, yoga or engaging in hobbies and activities that bring you joy. By prioritising self-care, time to relax and by setting boundaries – we can reduce our overall stress levels.

Connect with nature:

Spending time in nature has numerous benefits for our serenity. Engage in activities like hiking, gardening or simply taking a walk in a park because exposure to natural environments can reduce stress, improve mood, boost immune function and increase overall vitality.

Stay hydrated and reduce toxins:

Proper hydration supports optimal bodily functions, including digestion, circulation and toxin elimination. Try to limit your intake of sugary drinks and caffeine and opt for water, herbal teas or freshly squeezed juices. Minimise exposure to toxins by choosing natural cleaning and personal care products and avoid excessive consumption of processed foods and alcohol for a truly natural journey to health.
