Drink Enough Clean Water

READ this post (2min):

Water is the source of all life:

Did you know that there are in excess of 60 billion planets in our galaxy alone which could potentially support life? And this is because all of these planets contain one essential compound called ‘water,’ which dissolves and transports chemicals causing important metabolic reactions needed to sustain all life. Essentially, water is the source of all life and without it nothing can exist.

Why is water so important to us:

Given that your body is around 70% water, it’s critical to keep hydrated to ensure that it functions properly. There are many benefits of drinking water but here are some of the main ones;

Water…

*Helps to maintain electrolyte balance including things like sodium and potassium which are all essential to every day function. This includes things like keeping your blood pressure stable, regulating your heart beat, providing energy to get through the day and by allowing your muscles to contract properly. And if you’ve ever tried to exercise whilst dehydrated or even worse hung over, then you’d know how hard it is to get moving.

*Prevents illness – by helping your body to maintain a healthy PH (water is neutral) and also by helping your body to flush out toxins, reduce bad bacteria and infections, which can lead to more serious forms of disease.

*Prevents mental health issues – in many cases, things like anxiety and depression can be alleviated simply by staying hydrated.

*Helps to keep your skin hydrated – this leads to healthier skin which not only helps you to look younger but also helps to prevent things like acne too.

*Aids digestion – water keeps things flowing through your intestinal tract and kidneys keeping you regular which is so important.

*Is great for lots of other things such as decreasing headaches, preventing kidney stones, losing weight and much more.

 How much water do we need:

We are constantly losing water primarily through our sweat and urine, so it needs to be replaced. Everybody is different, but it is recommended that we need to be drinking around 2+ litres of water per day. This is known as the 8×8 rule – 8 glasses 8 times per day.  Obviously, if you are exercising or if the weather is warm you will probably need more than this. I drink about 3+litres per day and find that works for me. The best advice is to listen to your body, but in doing so, also don’t rely on your thirst mechanism which is not a reliable indicator of hydration. This is because by the time your mouth is dry and you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated (and usually by about 4+ glasses). By drinking water regularly instead of waiting to feel thirsty, you can ensure that you don’t become dehydrated.

It’s also important to realise that it is easy for your brain to mistake thirst for hunger, when in actual fact it’s your body just craving water. Instead, be mindful of how you feel and function. Before you feel thirsty, some other signs you can look for to determine if you are dehydrated include fatigue, confusion, muscle aches, stomach and joint pain. You can also monitor the colour of your urine; generally if its darker then you may be dehydrated.

Few of us are drinking enough water:

Despite the importance of drinking enough water, 80% of us are failing to do so. We are also consuming much less water in what we eat than we once did too. This is because processed foods, which today have become somewhat the norm, virtually have all of the water sucked out of them. This is the opposite to whole foods like vegetables which are full of water. But other than advising you to eat more veggies, here are some common reasons for not drinking enough water and how to overcome them

RECENT POSTSLIVING TRUE

Live in the Present

READ this post (2min):

What is living in the present?

Many of us have heard about the need to live more in ‘the present,’ but what does this really mean?

There are different levels of being present, but it basically means to be conscious, aware and in the present with all of your senses. That is, your awareness is completely centred on the here and now. It means not dwelling on or thinking about the past, nor being anxious or worrying about the future.

Why is it so important to live in the present?

It is essential that we live in the present because this is the only moment that really exists – everything/life happens in the now. It is simply all we have. As such, both the past and the future only exist in your mind. The past is gone, meaning it can’t be changed. Whilst the future is not guaranteed, meaning we are never sure what direction our life will go. Therefore if you are not living in the present, then you are simply not living in reality and with that you are not living true.

But I suppose the real reason why it’s important to live in the present is because everything that you truly desire in life, including good health and happiness exists only in the present. That’s why it’s called the ‘present’ – it’s a gift. Obviously the opposite is also true – the more you live in the past and future the more you experience fear bases emotions such as depression and anxiety.

The reality is that 95% of society tries to live in the present – and whilst this temporarily provides access to the present moment, it never lasts. So if you are serious about living in the present moment 24/7, then join my 3 keys holistic health and fitness program at www.h360.online

Do Regular Exercise

READ this post (2min):

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. Plato

Metabolically, we are hunters and gatherers, with approximately 700 working muscles functioning in sync to move just over 200 bones on your frame. Your body was engineered to be an action machine. It is meant to jump, run, twist, push and pull. And this is why it is crucial that we move it in order to stay in top shape. In-fact, doctors have admitted that they know of no invented drug that can create the same health benefits than regular exercise can – without it, your body literally begins to shut down and your organs fail to function properly.

But the reality is that very of us are exercising, and this is a massive contributing factor to why two thirds of our nation is overweight or obese.

There are 2 main ways to get your daily dose of exercise:

1.Incidental Exercise: is anything that you do on a day to day basis that’s generally part of your life. This may include things like cleaning, walking to work and gardening. The less incidental exercise that you do, the more structured exercise you should be doing to compensate. Incidental activity alone is never usually enough to maintain peak fitness unless you are a lumberjack, so it is always advisable to incorporate regular structured exercise into your weekly routine.

2.Structured Exercise: is exercise which you deliberately structure into your day. It often includes activities like playing sport, having a set time to go walking or going to the gym to do a workout. When it comes to planning your structured exercise, its essential to incorporate 3 key components – to find out how, then join my 3 keys holistic health and fitness program at www.h360.online

Reduce Toxins In Your Life

READ this post (2min):

Our modern way of life is very different to previous generations – in some ways its better and some ways its worse. However, as far as our exposure to toxins and the affect this is having on our health is concerned, today we are at a greater risk of being harmed than our ancestors ever were. And this is because toxins are simply everywhere; in what we eat, in the air we breathe, in what we put on our skin and everywhere else.

And at the end of the day, there are two things which cause disease within the body – stress and toxins. I’ll talk about stress reduction in another post, but what about toxins? The reality is that all toxins are dangerous in their own way, and some more than others. Most are linked to virtually every physical and mental health problem that exists today, including depression, cancer, and obesity.

Therefore, if we are to live happier, healthier, fitter lives, then it is essential that we minimize our exposure to as many toxins as possible. Here are some of my top tips on how best to do this…

Reduce Toxins in food:

*Replace processed foods with fresh foods.

*Avoid eating fast food.

*Choose organic fruit and vegetables or grow your own.

*Chose organic meats and dairy products.

*Avoid meat glue (an enzyme used to glue scrap bits of meat together to look like a natural piece of meat).

*Eat smaller fish like sardines and shrimp instead of larger ones like swordfish and tuna.

*Use unrefined, organic coconut oil for everything including cooking. Extra virgin olive is also good, but only cook with it at low temperatures.

*Minimise your intake of sugar.

*Reduce your intake of gluten.

*Minimise soy products – we are not sure if they are safe yet.

*Avoid genetically modified products (GMO’s) – we are not sure if they are safe yet.

*Filter your water to remove nasties like chlorine, fluoride and heavy metals.

*Avoid sports supplements like protein powders and energy bars unless you are an athlete – most contain many harmful toxins.

*Avoid eating out too often – most restaurants use cheaper and inferior ingredients to maximise profits – you really don’t know what you are eating unless you make it yourself.

*Try to eat Australian products – we have a long way to go, but our food practices are often of a higher standard than countries like China.

*Only chew natural gum – most chewing gum is highly toxic and should be avoided at all costs.

Limit Prescription Medication:

*Virtually all medications have numerous side-affects due to the large amount of toxins contained within them (e.g. antidepressants). It’s important to know what these side-affects are and weigh whether or not it is worth taking them. Ensure to speak to your doctor before making any changes to your medication.

*Avoid capsules but if you need to take then, try to use ones made with vegetables, rather than gelatine which contains dangerous xenoestrogens. Others such as many of the so called natural vitamin E capsules, are often made from the dregs of soy oil processing tanks, and can make you gravely ill.

To find out the best ways to reduce harmful toxins in other areas of your life, including your cookware, your personal care products, at home and at work plus much more, then join my 3 keys holistic health and fitness program at www.h360.online

RECENT POSTSLIVING TRUE

Be flexible in your beliefs

READ this post (2min):

One of the most important attributes of living true includes remaining flexible in your beliefs. Essentially, this means being willing to change your beliefs about what you ‘believe’ to be true. This is important because what you believe can be the real difference between an ordinary life and an extraordinary one.

What are beliefs and how do we form them?

Beliefs are simply what we believe to be true according to our perception of our experiences.

We may be born with no beliefs but they begin to form from an early age, especially about our self.  Either through real or perceived events/thoughts in our head or possibly even something taken out of context. Sometimes they may even be passed on through the influence from family and friends and of course our environment. Unless our experience of life relating to that belief tells us otherwise as we move through life, we can remain stuck with old beliefs that may not serve us well.

The beliefs we form can either be positive or negative. Positive beliefs empower us and enhance health and happiness. Negative beliefs do the opposite and are known as self-limiting beliefs.

What may appear trivial to others can be detrimental to yourself and lead to the creation of self-limiting beliefs which can last a lifetime. For example, your dad saying “shut the door you stupid child” could lead to you growing up with the belief that you are stupid.

As times goes by our heads get filled up with all of these beliefs and suddenly the way we perceive ourselves and the world becomes distorted. This is because our beliefs, whether they are real or not, positive or negative, shape our reality. Our beliefs influence and affect everything in our lives, including what we think, say and do and our part in the world.

Why is it important to remain flexible in your beliefs?

The reality is that many of the beliefs we form or adopt in life are simply not true. As such, most of us today are living with a distorted perception of not only the world, but more importantly ourselves.

There are two primary reasons why you need to remain flexible in your beliefs:

  1. You are not living true if you don’t – instead you are living in a box; a fictional based reality that you have created based on your perception of yourself, the world and everything in it. Our false beliefs take us further from who we really are and robs us of our confidence, our gratitude, our resilience and our happiness. It affects our relationships, our career, our finances, our faith and the lifestyle choices we make around things like food, sleep and exercise.

We all know people who think and act like they know everything. These are often the same people who seem to struggle in life in different ways – a victim of their own stubbornness if you like. Some would even rather die than change their beliefs, which can be frustrating because you really want to see them change and be happy.

The problem with being a “know it all” is that you become blinded only by what you know. If you can relate to this, then it’s really important that you resist the need to always be right and acknowledge that you don’t know it all because if you did then your life would be pretty peachy in every way which is very seldom the case.

Experience has taught me that most people know enough to make a good living and survive in the world, however surviving is not thriving. The reality is that very few of us (and I say this without judgement), actually know enough about the true nature of ourselves, love and life, in a way that allows us to really be happy, healthy and fit.

So please, unless your name is Google, don’t assume you know everything because none of us do. The moment you think you know it all, is the moment that you close yourself off from reality and this is not living true. I can guarantee that as long as you think you know it all, you will not achieve your true potential in life.  The key is to always remain curious and interested about everything. By doing so, you remain open, expanding your beliefs for greater awareness and expansion of not only the self but the world around you also.

  1. You begin to open yourself up to reality as it really is – not the reality you perceive exists. A reality which brings you an enormous sense of joy, peace and enthusiasm in each and every moment regardless of what is or isn’t going on in your life. One where true lasting health, happiness and fitness is really possible. This is life itself, without all of the dysfunction. And this is what is available to us once we let go of old beliefs and open ourselves up to new beliefs and ways of being in the world. So please, don’t shut out things simply because you don’t understand or are fearful of them – but rather try to keep an open mind to all things. There are many things outside of your awareness that you are not even aware off, let alone understand.

Therefore, the first and foremost attribute of living true requires that we be flexible in our beliefs and in doing so begin to let go of any self-limiting beliefs which no longer serve us. .

BlogRECENT POSTSWHAT YOU DO

Get Quality Sleep

READ this post(2min):

Why is sleep so important?

Sleep is important because it provides rest for the body and mind. The body regenerates and repairs itself during sleep.

What are the consequences of poor sleep?

If you think that poor sleep only results in feeling fatigued, then think again. Poor sleep takes its toll on your work, your relationships and everything else in your life. Why? Because being short of sleep doesn’t give the body enough time to repair and regenerate –which may affect your health in numerous ways, including:

Increased risk of: stress, anxiety, depression, memory issues, obesity, diabetes and heart attack

It can also lead to decreased judgement. Studies have shown that only getting five hours of sleep is the same as driving when you are drunk.

After reading/listening to all of these health problems your probably thinking you should go to sleep, and you’re right. But very few of us actually do…

Very few of us actually sleeping enough:

Did you know that most of us are getting, on average, 1.5 hours less sleep per night than we did in the past? This means that many of us fit the official medical definition of chronic insomnia – which is where you have trouble falling asleep, staying awake and/or waking up too early. The problem has become so common that sleep experts have hailed it the global fatigue crisis or GFC.

And whilst an hour or so less sleep may not sound like a lot, by the end of the week it can easily equate to more than a full night’s less sleep.

How much sleep do we need?

The best way to determine how much sleep you need is to simply listen to your body. On average, adults need seven to nine hours of quality sleep per night, however this is dependent upon what stage of life you are at. While getting enough sleep is important, what is even more important is that you get quality sleep. It’s no good sleeping eight hours if you keep waking up every hour.

Look after your gut

READ this post (2min):

Did you know that your gut bacteria has a profound affect on your overall well-being? Well it does, which is why looking after it, is an essential attribute of what you chew.

The billions of bacteria (about 1.5kg) that live inside our bodies are called the microbiome – we all develop different microbial communities depending upon our genes, diets and any other bacteria we come into contact with. Over 95% of our bacteria live in our gut, mainly in our large intestine. Together they help regulate our immune system, our weight, and can also affect our mood.

Unfortunately, many of us do not have a healthy gut microbiome. In the short term, the implications of this are not too much really, mainly because it leads to things like food intolerances, but doesn’t kill you.

However over the long term, the implications of generalised inflammation are more serious and can lead to an increased risk of developing a host of chronic diseases including; type II diabetes, obesity, asthma, and so forth. It also leads to the not so obvious inflammatory bowel diseases including colitis, chrone’s and different types of cancer. And we see this reflected in the explosion of chronic disease rates the world over.

So why do many of us have such unhealthy guts? There are lots of reasons, but much of it has to do with what you eat…

The problem with processed foods:

To look after our gut microbiome, we really need to do two main things:

a) Maintain a diverse array of bacteria in our gut. Tasty, interesting, varied food is the way to go.

b) Eat foods which end up in our large intestine – You need to have the fibre to feed the bacteria.

Unfortunately, in today’s fast paced and ever time poor way of living, processed foods seem to have replaced a healthy and balanced diet. Here’s the problem; if we are eating processed foods, then;

a) We are not feeding our microbes, so our gut ecosystem becomes less diverse. This is because most processed foods are all the same – high in sugar, salt, artificial colours, flavours, preservatives and contain no beneficial bacteria. It’s essentially dead food. And,

b) Processed or sugary foods are usually absorbed into the body before they even make it to the large intestine, meaning they starve our healthy gut bacteria whilst feeding the bad bacteria.

How to look after your gut:

Your microbiome somewhat settled within the first 3 years of life, and broadly speaking you inherent it from your mum. The good news is that you can change what lives in your gut and you do this by changing what you eat. There are lots of foods which provide the nutrients which those little microbes need.

The 3 Keys to a Happier, Healthier, Fitter Life

WATCH to this post:

https://youtu.be/Q0fkmHFjxgU

READ to this post:

What are the 3 keys and why did I create them?

If I gave you the 3 keys to living a happier, healthier and fitter life, then would you be interested? It sounds great doesn’t it!

So what are the 3 keys?  Well I can tell you that they are not about doing endless sit-ups, counting calories or strengthening your willpower muscles. Nor are they about retreating to a cave and chanting mantras all day long -although you can do that if you like. Instead the 3 keys are simply a lifestyle; a way of being and a way of living in the world. A way which I live and breathe every day.

I created the 3 Keys to help everyone live happier, healthier, fitter lives. This includes, both preventing and reversing all of the most common lifestyle problems which so many of us are struggling with today.

How is this achieved? Simply by restoring the balance back into your life – something which we all desire, yet as evident by the declining health and happiness of our nation, find so difficult to achieve.

Why is having balance so important?

It’s important because more than 99% of all disease comes from our lifestyle. In-fact, almost every condition or problem in your life right now is the result of putting too much of your energy into one area of your life and not enough into another.

This means that modern medicine can only ever offer very limited results when it comes to both the prevention and reversal of the vast majority of mental and physical health conditions so prevalent today.

And so the only way to overcome these conditions is to live a more balanced lifestyle. You do this by investing the same amount of your energy into each of the main 3 key areas;

What you chew

What you do, and

Living true.

What You Chew

Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food. —Hippocrates

If there is one standalone practice that greatly influences your ability to live a long and healthy life, it’s what you chew. In-fact, your stomach is very much your second brain and greatly affects every other system in your body including most importantly, your immune system.

Unfortunately very few of us really eat a healthy diet. And it’s a sad indictment of society when processed foods are considered the norm and whole foods become an alternative way of eating or just another trend.

What You Chew includes your diet and day-to-day eating habits. It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients and energy, and organic where possible. It’s also important to pay attention to what your body wants and needs from moment to moment. A good diet can be the difference between just getting through the day versus feeling energised and amazing.

In What You Chew, I’ll show you everything you need to know about healthy eating, as well as the ways to reduce toxins, both in your food and everywhere else too. And much, much more.

What You Do

The second key involves what you do. This includes everything you could and should be doing to bring you closer to health and happiness, and less of the things that take you away from it.

In What You Do, I’ll show you everything you need to do to live a happier, healthier and fitter life, including how and when you move, your time spent connecting to nature, the way you cope with stress and relax your body and mind, how you organise your day, the way you set goals, the ways you interact with others and the world around you, and much more.

Living True

The third key to living a happier, healthier, fitter life involves living true and has to do mostly with your heart.

This is the key which is far too often misunderstood and even neglected. It is also often the most challenging of the 3 keys, especially if we are fearful off and resistant to change. However, it is also the same key which has the greatest overall influence on your ability to live a happier, healthier, fitter life.

For too long we have focused far too much attention on the inner workings of the mind when it comes to such things as mental and physical health, behaviour change, motivation and the pursuit of happiness. But what about the heart? Where is its place in all of this?

It is the heart which has the power and capacity to heal and to transform the world and ourselves. It is the heart that feels not the head, and it is for this reason that it is of paramount importance when it comes to these matters. Take for example, something as simple as motivation – If our hearts not in it, then there’s very little chance that we will stick to whatever it is we are doing – our exercise, marriage, career, and anything else. This is just one example of the importance of living true to ourselves in everything that we do.

The truth is that the balance that you seek in your life can only ever really be achieved by knowing and living true to who you really are (which affects everything we think, say and do). And so the most important thing about living true to yourself, is that is has a self-balancing effect on your whole entire life. If you have little self-awareness and/or are not living true, then all of the things which you should be chewing and doing to live a happier, healthier, fitter life simply don’t happen. It’s the glue that sticks everything else together.

In Living True, I’ll show you everything you need to do to live a happier, healthier fitter life, including using your intuition, learning how to cultivate more self-awareness, loving yourself, learning greater self-control, challenging your beliefs, knowing your values, becoming whole, finding inner peace, becoming empowered, creating balance, living in the present, and much more.

The 3 Keys are a Choice

The reality is that the 3 keys are a choice. You can either chose to live the 3 keys and live a happier, healthier, fitter life. Or you can chose not to live the 3 keys, and subject yourself to a host of physical and mental health problems, and with it a decreased quality of life.

At the end of the day, nothing matters more in your life than your health and happiness. And no one has more influence over it than you. And you can do this by living the 3 keys.

So please don’t wait until you get a serious or even terminal diagnosis like cancer before you begin living the 3 keys. Because unfortunately I see this happening all of the time. With that said, the good news is that no matter where you are at or how old you are, it is never too late to start. But it won’t just happen, you have to be intentional about it and make it happen.

The Need For A More Holistic Solution

WATCH to this post:

https://youtu.be/qVDjV6NHhn4

READ to this post:

Virtually every day we hear of more troubling statistics concerning every day Australians – a scenario which is similar for most countries across the globe. Let’s take a brief look:

A brief snapshot of our nation in 2017:

Physical Health – where are we at?

◊ Around 2/3 of Australians are either Overweight or Obese.

◊ Around 300 Australians develop Type II Diabetes every single day.

◊ Around 2.5 million Australians have Cardio-Vascular Disease – it’s the Nation’s biggest killer.

◊ Around 140,000 Australians are diagnosed with Cancer each year – approximately 50,000 will die each year from cancer and its expected to increase by a whopping 40% by 2020.

◊ Every 10 minutes in Australia someone gets a Stroke.

◊ Around 2 million Australians have Chronic Kidney Disease.

◊ Around 3 million Australians suffer general Chronic Pain.

◊ Around 4 million Australians experience general Back Pain.

 ◊ Over half of the nation don’t get a proper night’s sleep and 1 million of these have Sleep Apnoea.

Apart from the explosion of physical disease in recent times, the same can be found for mental health, including psychological and social disorders…

Mental Health – where are we at?

◊ Virtually every second Australian will experience a Mental Health Problem in their life time.

◊ Around 17 million Australians admit that Stress is affecting both their physical and mental health.

◊ Around 1 million Australian adults have Depression, and over 2 million have severe Anxiety.

◊ 60,000 Australians per year attempt Suicide – 8 per day taking their own life. It’s the biggest killer of Australians up to 40 years of age.

◊ Almost 1 million people call Lifeline each year in Australia.

◊ 1 in 3 Australians have Body Image and Self-Esteem Problems.

While these sound like conditions found in only the sick or elderly, instead they are today being found in everyday people, including many of our children — a frightening fact.

Mental Health & Addictions – where are we at?

◊ 300,000 Australians use Methamphetamine’s like Ice. This has tripled over the past 5 years and is up 175% in the past year alone.

◊ There are more people dying of Prescription Drugs than Illegal drugs in Australia.

◊ 4 million Australians have a drinking problem – with 1 million drinking on average, eight standard drinks a day.

Before I go on, I just want you to pause for a minute and take in the enormity of this situation.

What’s even more troubling is that every year that goes by, these stats are getting worse not better and so much so that they are becoming the new normal.

You may directly relate to these statistics or you may not. But due to the sheer prevalence of these issues, we all have love ones or know others who can relate to these statistics.

What is the net effect of all of this?

This leads to much suffering and lowered quality of life, and it also contributes to pre-mature death and aging. Sure some of us are living longer than we once did, but without the quality of life we should be living.

It also leads to soaring financial cost to the nation – with the Government constantly scrambling to find enough money to deal with these issues. For example, 60 billion per year is spent treating obesity related illness alone.

It is clear that many Australians are struggling to maintain a sense of balance and well-being in their lives.

The need for a better solution?

Looking at these statistics, it’s also crystal clear that we desperately need a better solution. But if you listen to any of the many conversations around establishing solutions towards reducing the prevalence of any of the above conditions and associated problems plaguing society, you keep hearing the same bureaucratic responses – this is a very complicated problem with no easy solution. And so what happens is that we often just end up resigning to the fact that it’s all too hard and then we sit by and watch these problems grow bigger, whilst we throw band-aid solutions at them and hope that they will just go away.

But the reality is that we make all of these problems much more complicated than they actually are.

All we really need is a solution which addresses the many underlying and interrelated mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, social, cultural, lifestyle, environmental and economic factors driving all of these problems to begin with.

‘The nature of the body can only be understood as a whole, for it is the great error of our day in the treatment of the human body, that physicians separate the soul from the body.’ Hippocrates.

Science clearly shows us that nothing exists or makes sense as a separate entity but rather only makes sense as the whole. In essence it is clear that we need a more ‘holistic’ solution – one which restores balance by reducing stress and promoting w/being. A holistic solution is one which takes into consideration the health of the whole person.

This is essential because given that you are a whole person, changes in any one area of your life affect every other area, either directly or indirectly. Therefore your health, happiness and fitness are dependent on the harmony of this whole. If even one part is out of whack, then it can throw the whole thing out. As such, anything other than a holistic approach to resolving these, or any other of life’s problems are merely band-aid solutions.

Fortunately, many of us now are beginning to have a much greater familiarity with mind and body therapies, as well as the philosophy of ‘health for the whole person’. This is evident through the widespread practice of many natural and preventative-based therapies largely from the East, which are being utilised on their own or in conjunction with conventional Orthodox or Western Medicine. Examples include Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, Yoga, Meditation and many more.

However, as evident by the ever growing troubling statistics, this is clearly not enough. So many of us are still really struggling to achieve the balance that we so desperately seek in life. And we are seeing this in our health, in our relationships, in our work, in our finances, in our sense of meaning and purpose and in general everyday life.

The point I want to make here is that these aren’t just statistics – these are our children, our mothers, our fathers, our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our loved ones, and these people matter – they matter to us, they matter to the world and we need them!

And so there has never been a greater time in history, of the need for a more holistic and thus a more effective solution towards enabling us to live happier, healthier fitter lives.

What is this holistic solution?

The holistic solution we so desperately need comes down to 3 key areas;

◊ What you Chew

◊ What you Do, and

◊ Living True.

The reality is that by focusing on these 3 simple key areas, not only are all of these problems reversible, but they are also largely preventable in the first place. The result – a happier, healthier and fitter you. So please, don’t get disheartened by reading this post – sure the picture I have painted of our nation isn’t very pretty. But the reality is that we have the ability to turn all of this around, because we are so much more in control of our lives than we realise, or that we have ever been led to believe. And we can do this by living the 3 keys.

In-fact, the applications for the 3 keys are endless, and reach far beyond all of the problems mentioned in this post. The 3 keys really are the most simple and most profound solution we have to restore balance and therefore overall well-being back into our lives. It’s one solution with endless applications. And it’s a solution you can find out more about by joining my 3 keys holistic health and fitness program at www.h360.online

Q.So tell me, what your thoughts on all of this? What do you see as the solution to all of these problems and why? Do you agree that a ‘holistic’ solution is what is required?
