Tips from one of our coaches: Hormone and Orthomolecular nutrition coach Marlon Haandrikman
A positive mindset contributes to a good resistance. For this, rest and time for yourself can certainly help!
But let's face it: three weeks of yoga in Bali is not in the cards right now.
Our nutrition and weight loss coach Marlon tells us what you can do.
Walking
You really don't have to work up a sweat every day to stay healthy. Especially moderate intensive exercise is super good for your resistance. For example, 30 minutes of walking every day brings even more health benefits besides better resistance; stress levels drop, the brain can think more creatively and your heart and lungs stay healthy. The walking date is also super against tension,; a good conversation or laughing together provides the necessary happiness hormones!
Meditation is key
Do breathing exercises by quietly breathing in and out deeply for a while, with your hands on your belly. What works well is breathing in for 4 seconds and breathing out for 7 counts. Meditate by focusing on one point for several minutes and letting your thoughts float by like clouds. Does a thought float by? Then don't condemn it and calmly return to your breathing and focus. Do this for example before sleeping; sleeping well also relieves tension!
Sleep
Sleep is necessary to process all the stimuli you have experienced in the waking state. By going to sleep at the end of a busy day, your brain goes through a "reset" of sorts. Everything is processed, you unwind and gain energy for a new day. But your immune system is also active at night. 7 to 9 hours of sleep provide a better immune system and you are more resistant to stress. In addition, only when you sleep well two hormones are produced that help you lose weight, so very important.
(Together) cooking
Screen-free hours are important. All that information, however tempting, creates a lot of tension. And now that we spend a lot of time at home, it's a great time to experiment with new recipes together. The NewFysic recipes are easy to make with the whole family and a varied and nutritious diet is and remains the basis of healthy resistance! Take a look right away, enjoy! > Recipes
