Title:

The Importance of a Holistic Lifestyle

Description:

| Our University & Colleges define our Holistic Natural Health & Healing & Holistic Nutrition practices as a principled, spiritual and physical belief system in the restoration and preservation of health by spiritual and natural, unadulterated means and conditions such as the following: pure water, sunshine, exercise, clean air, cleanliness, proper diet, sleep, rest, correct temperatures, relaxation, poise, and a good mental and spiritual attitude. In other words, we believe that the "whole" is greater than the sum of its parts, which simply means we cannot neglect the mind and body including one’s spirituality. If only one part of the body suffers, then all parts will suffer. So think "Holistically" for "Optimum Health!" – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • A holistic lifestyle focuses on a persons
    overall wellbeing, including emotional, physical,
    mental, and even spiritual health. Rather than
    provide short-term cures, a holistic approach
    instead promotes lifelong positive habits.
  • Benefits of a holistic lifestyle include
  • Improvement of overall general health
  • Long-term pain relief
  • Fostering the routine of a well-balanced
    lifestyle
  • The use of safe and natural treatments, including
    herbs and medicines

3
  • A holistic lifestyle can help lessen or
    completely eradicate pain or other symptoms
    related to common chronic health conditions, such
    as
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Asthma
  • Cancer

4
  • One of the most beneficial aspects of a holistic
    lifestyle is its stress-management capabilities.
    Stress can have a detrimental effect on our
    health and wellbeing. When we are stressed, the
    bodys response systems dont get the rest and
    repair they need to function properly. Without
    rest, stress can inflict wear and tear on the
    brain, heart, vital organs, and immune system.
  • Holistic treatments such as meditation, social
    support, and spiritual practices can all have a
    positive effect on relieving stress and promoting
    overall wellbeing.

5
  • A sedentary lifestyle can severely impact our
    health. Exercise is important for both our
    physical and mental wellbeing, and has many
    helpful benefits.
  • Exercise has been shown to decrease the risk of
    heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and many forms
    of cancer.
  • Physical activity is the best natural remedy for
    reducing mild to moderate depression.
  • Even a mere thirty minutes of moderate exercise
    five days a week can benefit your health and
    boost endorphins.

6
  • One of the core pillars of a healthy lifestyle is
    holistic nutrition. Since a poor diet can lead to
    a life of chronic disease, holistic counseling
    uses a reverse approach. Most practitioners
    believe that simple foods are best, such as
    fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds for
    protein, and healthy fats such as avocado.

7
  • A holistic lifestyle encourages adequate sleep to
    promote rest and relaxation for the body and
    soul. Sleeplessness can be as detrimental to our
    health as smoking is, and comes with as many
    long-term consequences. Here are a few reasons
    why sleep matters
  • The body repairs itself while we sleep, in order
    to promote proper healing and detoxification.
  • Sleep restores our physical and mental energy,
    and lack of can lead to fatigue, stress, and
    irritability.
  • Adequate sleep is even more important for
    individuals living with chronic illness or pain.
    Lack of sleep in the chronically ill often
    exacerbates the symptoms they typically
    experience.

8
  • Sports nutrition is a highly-focused area of
    applied food concepts that examines the
    catalyzing role of digestive enzymes and
    absorption of food nutrients. This area of
    nutritional counseling is designed to increase a
    person's power, strength, and endurance during
    movement and activity. Sports nutrition generally
    believes in limiting acid-forming diets that
    weaken the quality of body tissue and can leave
    an athlete prone to injuries.

9
  • Often overlooked in traditional medicine,
    spirituality plays an important role in a
    holistic lifestyle. Spirituality pertains to the
    nonphysical aspects of your mind and soul, and
    has many facets, including
  • Awareness of the world around you
  • Fostering a sense of gratitude
  • Promoting kindness
  • Listening to intuition
  • A sampling of what enhances spiritual health
    includes meditation, yoga, music and art therapy,
    breathwork, laughter, and martial arts.
