How to fuel your body and mind

Hey I am Jeanique

Welcome, I am so excited that you stopped by. I love The Classical Pilates Method, and I want to share everything I have learned to inspire your practice.ย 

A few years ago, on a friend’s advice, I discovered something remarkable: food could alleviate my monthly stomach pains. I was astounded, as I had resigned myself to enduring this discomfort.

๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฉป As a regular exercise enthusiast, proper nutrition is crucial for repairing and strengthening your body. Food plays a vital role in muscle recovery and overall physical health. It not only sustains us but also supports our joints, muscles, and heart. Dr. Lisa says it can enhance mental health, reduce inflammation, and boost memory. Hereโ€™s the most straightforward approach I’ve learned to eat well without stress:

๐Ÿฅ™ 1. Understand Yourself: Take the time to understand your body. If you experience stomach issues or have diabetes, consult a naturopath rather than relying solely on internet searches. Understanding what works for you may take time, but it’s invaluable.

๐Ÿฅค 2. Balanced Moderation: Nourish yourself well, but in moderation. Our digestive systems change as we ageโ€”from our 20s through our 50s.

๐Ÿง‡ 3. Sacrifice for Balance: Be willing to sacrifice indulgences until you find a happy medium. Why suffer for momentary pleasure?

๐Ÿฅฌ 4. The Food Pyramid: Start with the food pyramid (๐Ÿ”บ). It’s been around for ages and remains a reliable guide unless you have specific dietary concerns.

๐Ÿ’ฆ 5. Research Wisely: Donโ€™t follow trends mindlessly; do your research. Trust your bodyโ€™s signals; you know yourself best.

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ 6. Seek Professional Advice: For a deeper understanding, seek guidance from medical professionals.

๐Ÿ˜Š Goal: Achieving health is about maintaining balance over the long term. Remember, you are worth every step you take towards better health. ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿšฐ
