Drink Right - Navigating Mental and Physical Well-being Part 8

"True healing is not a “quick fix” but a regeneration that comes from removing all waste from the body." - Arnold Ehret We are now on the penultimate episode in the series of podcasts on navigating your mental and physical well-being. On this occasion, we are going to dive into the realm of excretion, a very vital undertaking to sustaining life. The process of elimination prevents our body from accumulating waste and provides the much-needed balance in the proper functioning of our organ systems. There are several ways by which we eliminate body waste and breathing is one of them. Today, I am going to shed a different light on these various methods as well as the things you need to eliminate. I will not only give you scientific insights but also provide you with practical ways to increase your vitality and vigour. I am a wellness evangelist, and my goal is to empower you to get the results you want. My work has always been about supporting people on who they want to be. I want to inspire you to make adjustments to what you are currently doing to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Ultimately, your health lies in your own hands. You are the only one who can direct your life, I cannot do it for you, but I can help you. You are capable of living life to the fullest. You can reverse some of the conditions you are in. Live better now. Highlights: We eliminate body waste through our intestines, skin, kidneys, mouth and lungs, Our emotions, lifestyle, and the food we eat affect our gut and consequently our excretion. Nasal breathing and having longer out-breaths improve well-being. Breathing out activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm us. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are both needed by the body. Important Stories: 3:38 Definition and importance of elimination. 9:20 Things that affect our gut. 15:12 Breathing as an essential means of elimination and a breathwork technique to improve your overall health. 28:48 The vagus nerve, a transport system from the brainstem to the gut.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle - Stephen Curry Water is the most essential element on Earth. Without it, life would cease to exist. Every system in the human body depends on water to function properly but how much should we drink? We know that drinking less than what we need leads to dehydration and sometimes death, but are you aware that drinking too much and too fast can also result in your demise? The presence of too much information and too many choices has left many of us confused. Most specialists say we need to drink eight glasses of water, but is it really the right amount for everybody? Furthermore, of the options we have, which type of water is best for us? Is it tap, bottled, filtered, or flavoured water? Is water that has been infused with minerals better? Should we drink it hot or cold? Are you overwhelmed by these questions and the choices you have? Well, you do not have to be. Tune in as I shed light on these areas for you to have a different perspective and make better choices. We all have different circumstances and sometimes what works for others may not be applicable to you. Take your health to a new level. Make an informed choice. Highlights: Majority of people in the world are dehydrated. A 70-kg person will eliminate around 2 litres of water a day. Majority of the things we drink that are mixed with water can be diuretics. Drinking clean water means less work for our body to do. Thirst can often be mistaken as hunger. Warm water can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and keep us calm. Important stories: 4:48 The amount of water our body eliminates. 8:49 Filtered, bottled water, water in food and tap water. 16:19 Cold water, hot water, water with sweeteners. 22:12 What you could do to improve your drinking habits.

“Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day - - Mother Nature’s best effort yet at contra death.” - Matthew Walker Did you sleep well last night? Do you have the energy to handle all the tasks you need to do? If you always feel fatigued and are having difficulty concentrating on the work at hand, this episode is for you. Today we are going to delve more into the importance of being aware of your sleep, the possible reasons why you do not sleep well and of course tips on how you can sleep better. We are on the seventh part of a series of podcasts on navigating your well-being. On this journey to excellent health, we have been diving deeper into each of the magnificent seven. These seven key elements are think right, eat right, talk right, move right, sleep right, drink right, and eliminate right. Of these areas, sleep must be in the top three because it not only has the power to energise our whole body and keep it functioning well, but it also improves our brain functions, making us more alert and focused. The right amount of sleep helps us to think, feel, and act better. Although it is one of the natural things we do that provides multiple benefits most of us take it for granted. This deprives our bodies of the rest they need to recuperate. Sleeping less or even having an inferior quality of sleep leads to chronic illnesses and a poor mental state. What then can we do to optimise our sleep?  Listen in to find out. Allow me to inspire you to view it in a new light and hopefully take the necessary action to keep yourself from being less than you can be. A rejuvenated body and sound mind are just a good night’s sleep away. Value sleep. Highlights: As human beings, we thrive on being awake in the day and being asleep at night but some of the things we do violate our circadian rhythm. The average number of hours we spent sleeping at night has decreased over time. It is important to have the proper preparation and environment for sleep. It is easier for the brain to secrete melatonin when the conditions are right. If you do not make the connection between a good night’s sleep and having energy the next day, then you would not prioritise sleep. Important stories: 2:56 My sleep-related dilemma   5:30 Sleep is the number one self-care habit. 8:53 Disruptions in circadian rhythm. 11:56 Creating the right environment for sleep. 14:15 Making the connection between a good night’s sleep and feeling better. 16:52 The kryptonite for sleep.​​​​​​​ 21:38 Things you can do to improve your sleep.   Send us a message and tell us what is your biggest takeaway about this episode.  ------------------------------------------------- Check out my brand new 30 Day Kick Start Challenge!

“Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” - Brené Brown What is it like being you? Is being you the result of what you say to yourself? Is it possible that your poor health may have something to do with what you have been saying to yourself? We all talk to ourselves but most of us are quite unaware of what we say and the impact it is making in our lives because of the many things that grab our attention.  The conversations you have with yourself can lead to an undesirable state of health. Negative dialogues create anxiety and stress that over time causes multiple illnesses like having low immunity, heart disease, depression, and obesity. It is therefore important to stop and realise what you say to yourself.  You always have an opportunity to change what you say, how you feel, and what you do. Tune in and find out more about how you can improve your well-being through the conversations you have with yourself. Gain insights into the cell-to-cell communication that happens within your body and how it affects your mental and physical health. This is the sixth episode in a series of podcasts on wellness. I am giving you the chance to look at things differently and to explore your true nature, so maybe then you will start to take deliberate actions towards prolonging your life and preventing disease. Would it not be better if the conditions you are in right now were reversed? Start talking to yourself in a different way.  Listen to the person you want to be. You are awesome! Highlights: What we think and say creates our beliefs as well as the emotions we feel that are sometimes not nourishing to the body. We have thousands of thoughts going on in the background that affects us. There is a part of you that talks negatively to you, but there is also a moral authority within you that you can listen to. We can change how we speak to ourselves. Life becomes easier once we know who we are and that we are not victims of where we are.  Important stories: 4:10 Our thoughts and words impact our lives.   9:39 Our inner world is a direct result of what we say to ourselves. 12:24 Cells in our body communicate with each other. 15:06 How to conquer what we say to ourselves.

“Change happens through movement and movement heals.” -Joseph Pilates Are you what you do every single day preventing you from being afflicted with chronic illnesses? Are you walking 5,749 steps a day at the least? You know exercise is one of the best things you can do to prolong your life, but why are you not doing it? Why are you having a tough time convincing yourself to get up? Listen to today’s episode and get a new perspective on one of the key areas of magnificent health. Understand the real reasons behind the challenges you have in moving, and the best ways to overcome them. Look at movement and its benefits with a fresh pair of eyes. Know the secret to looking, feeling, and living better. We are already halfway through our journey to good health. This is the fifth part in a series of podcasts that gives you a different take on wellness to help you optimise who you are. Movement is one of the topics I am well-versed in. It is an area I excel at practising what I preach, having become a personal trainer and fitness instructor. Exercise is an important part of my life. Stop being a prisoner of poor health and disease. Reverse the things you face. Be the healthier, more energetic version of you. Live by your new mantra - “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 get up and move now.” Highlights: We are movement machines living in a world that does not encourage us to move. What we can do and what we do are two completely different things. We are designed to use energy for a reason. Exercise switches every system in our body and makes us feel hopeful. People who do less than 5,749 steps a day are more prone to depression and anxiety. The best ‘why’ is that you just want to feel good. Important stories:    4:20 The changes in the way we live.   7:48 How we are designed.  10:39 The challenges in making an investment. 17:36 Having the right ‘why.’ 23:01 Hope molecules 24:19 A woman named Mandy Jane Lace.  Send us a message and tell us what is your biggest takeaway about this episode.  ------------------------------------------------- Check out my brand new 30 Day Kick Start Challenge!

“If you would be a real seeker of truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” - Rene Descartes It has landed! It is finally here! The weapon you need to cross the information divide and discern the truth is now within your grasp. But before you grab one, have a listen to today’s episode as I interview journalist, multi-awarded film director, moderator, advisor, and researcher, Lindley Gooden. He is also the founder and Cheerleader-in-Chief of Greenscreen. Lindley has recently published the very informative and thought-provoking book entitled ‘The Future of Truth (And How to Get There).’ This is a much-needed piece in our technology-driven world, where everyone wants to get our attention. It is only fitting for him to author this book as he has worked on both sides of the information divide for more than 30 years and has interviewed more than 50,000 people engaged in world transformation. He has also served as postgraduate journalism lecturer at UK’s prestigious universities. In this podcast, he will delve into the highlights of his book for you to learn more about misinformation, disinformation, why we easily fall for them, and how we can equip ourselves so as not to be fooled and manipulated by the deep fakes, the lies as well as the conspiracies. Do not be part of the divide that leads to chaos. Arm yourself with the right tools and information. Choose from the armoury of links below. Amazon (UK) www.thefutureoftruth.info Highlights: Sharing stories is our way of learning and surviving. We are 60-70% more likely to share false information that is why we need to know where our information is coming from. The two types of false information are misinformation or things we share accidentally and disinformation which is the intentional manipulation of information. We need to stop, step back, sidestep, and allow a little bit of disbelief to get to the truth. There are technical tells that you can see and in feel with deep fakes. Important stories: 1:25 Why Lindley Gooden authored the book and what he wants people to get from it. 6:20 How Lindley and I met. 15:14 Misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracies. 21:10 How to find a safe middle ground amidst a dangerous territory. 31:34 The various sources of information and technological platforms we use. 47:10 Expected direct results of the book years after.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” - Hippocrates Have you thought about the relationship you have with food? Did you know that the associations you have with food affect what you eat and how you live? What we consume can either sustain our lives or cause us our death. Eating the right food can nourish and make us live longer without being afflicted by certain ailments. However, consuming more of the foods that are being offered to us today can be debilitating. Majority of the items we can easily buy are either refined or laden with chemicals that harm our bodies. These are the facts that we tend to ignore for several reasons. For one, we prefer the ease and comfort of obtaining them. Secondly, manufactured food has become addictive. Lastly, we eat more for our current self rather than our future self. Eating right can be quite a challenge but it does not mean that we cannot overcome these difficulties. We have the power to reverse our current conditions. To gain more insights on this, I encourage you to listen to today's episode as I delve further into one of the key areas of magnificent health. It is the fourth part of a series of podcasts around navigating your well-being. Do not become a slave to food. Be in control. Live an amazing life. Highlights: ~ Our diet has massively evolved from foraged natural food to the highly addictive manufactured, imitation food we have now. ~ Western diet has resulted in inflammatory and chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart ailments. ~ In most cases people are malnourished either by lack of food or eating too much innutritious food. ~ You can make your own rules and choose your own ways to make food work for you. ~ Food rules you can adapt: Go natural whenever and wherever you can. Supplement your diet. Do not eat food that: Grandma did not eat. Has a label. Has more than five ingredients. Has a longer shelf life. Has been refined. Has high carbohydrate and sugar content. Important stories: 5:38 How our diets have evolved. 8:04 The relationship between what we eat and the diseases we have. 13:40 The reasons behind our behaviour about food and why we need to change. 17:01 The effect of imitation or manufactured food. 19:56 The changes we can make to eat and live better.

“We’ve in fact conditioned ourselves to believe all sorts of things that aren’t necessarily true – and many of those things are having a negative impact on our health and happiness.” - Joe Dispenza Generally, we believe that our health begins with what we eat and the way we live but in fact everything stems from our thoughts. How we think is the prime mover of our mental, physical, and emotional states. Our mind is a tool that has the power to shape everything in our life. What goes on in it leads to how we feel and the actions we take. If we continue to persist in thinking that there is nothing we can do about our circumstances or where we are, then chances are we will succumb defenselessly against diseases. However, when we think differently from what others have led us to believe, we can recover from whatever has held us back. This has been proven time and again by people who have miraculously regained their lives from life-threatening illnesses. Tune in to today’s episode as I explore and impart different perspectives. This is the third part in a series of podcasts that revolves around navigating our wellness. We will continue with this theme until the month of July as we delve further into each of the seven keys to magnificent health. I am offering you an opportunity to learn more and giving you the chance to make impactful changes in your life. Are you truly aware of what goes on in your mind? What thoughts have you been harbouring? Are you harvesting the results you want? The road to a healthier you is a thought away. Think greater than you feel. Highlights: Thinking is our ability to imagine and manage ourselves. We have the power to choose how we think and feel to attract what we want and who we think we are or can become. Becoming aware of our thoughts empowers us. How we think about the future can lead to anxiety while depression can result from our thoughts of past events. Finding humour in our thoughts helps us simplify things and decrease our worries. Important stories: 3:05 Our mind is a garden. 11:32 Utilising our experience simulator. 17:03 The power tool that resides in our head. 21:28 A few ways to conquer our thoughts.

“Stress and meaning are inextricably linked. You don’t stress out about things you don’t care about, and you can’t create a meaningful life without experiencing some stress.” - Kelly McGonigal Stress, is a normal part of life that many believe shortens one’s lifespan, but this is not really the case, for the true culprit is our negative response to it. The tensions we have can in effect strengthen us if we take time to look at it differently and react positively. It all lies in our ability to manage the various stressors in our lives. This is what we are going to delve into in this episode, the second part of our current theme on wellness. Likewise, in the succeeding podcasts we are going to dissect the seven key aspects of well-being. Health is our greatest asset; therefore, we must take time to really think about the ways we can enrich and prolong the time we have on this earth without being a burden to others. We owe it to ourselves to live life to the fullest. Come and join me on this quest of transformation. Step back, look at your overall condition from a fresh perspective, let go of negative attachments, and wake up to a new reality. Believe me, when I say, things are going to get better.

Highlights: Wellness has to do with the environment within you and your deliberate actions to manage stress, improve wellbeing, and prolong life. There have never been more mental health problems because of the environment we are creating. The future of wellness is going to be more geared around how you feel about who you are.
