Calm your body and your mind: two simple ways to do it!
Having good quality well-being consists in having a reliable system. Of course, it is essential having a healthy routine around the food we eat, but if when we eat even the healthiest foods, we are stressed on a mental or spiritual level, our body must first face other needs that have certainly nothing to do with assimilating all the necessary nutrients. Instead, it will focus on getting us out of the stressful moment by consuming all the energy that our meals provide us. For instance, our brain does not distinguish whether we are going to be eaten by a hungry lion in the middle of the forest or if we are fighting with our colleague at the office or again if we are having an anxiety attack while stuck in traffic. Our brain perceives a dangerous situation and must save us! How? Using all the possible resources we have inside our body that we assimilate through the food we eat. That is why it is so important having some quick solutions that we can adopt while we are in distress situations. There are several techniques and therapies nowadays that can help us to calm our body and mind. For instance, think about our beloved meditation, one ancient holistic and natural approach that has been used from years all over the world — or maybe going to a therapist, someone who can help us deal with issues we might have in our life. Or again an activity that can help us […]
Why Most Diets Fail
Want to know 5 reasons most diets fail? Researches showed that regular dieting is a waste of time and energy. According to Dr. Mark Hyman, functional medicine doctor, Director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and New York Time bestselling author of “Ultrametabolism” and “Ultrawellness” most diets predictably fail because of 5 reasons: 1 – You try to exercise your willpower to control your appetite instead of understanding there is a science behind hunger. 2 – Your focus is too much on counting calories. 3 – Your diet consists of all low-fat foods. 4 – Your weight is actually affected by hidden reasons that require medical attention. 5 – You lack a solid health and weight loss plan to guide on you on your journey. Dr. Hyman also says that when the average dieter loses weight, they lose muscle and fat. But once they regain the weight, they gain back only the fat which will ultimately slow down your metabolism. That’s not what we want! How can I succeed with my health without dieting? CLICK THE LINK 1 – Eat enough whole fresh food to satisfy your appetite. 2 – Eat protein for breakfast to boost your energy for the day. 3 – Eat your last meal three hours before bedtime to give your system time to digest before sleep. 4- Male low-glycemic foods your diet staple such as nuts, seeds, chicken and fish (if you eat it) so your blood sugar stays level. 5 – Eat good […]

My best kept for better digestion (look inside!)
Today I’d like to share with you what is best to do for better digestion. First, why am I talking about having better digestion in the first place? Great question! A lot of people suffer from digestive problems such as gas, bloating, reflux, stomach cramps, diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or inflammations, and these can severely limit our daily functioning and makes us miserable. Our gastrointestinal tract (IG) acts as our body’s food processor and if it’s blocked, overloaded, polluted with toxins such as food additives, pesticides, preservatives, processed products, it’s going to let you know how it feels by having one of the reactions listed above or even worst illnesses. Our IG tract first breaks down the food by the mechanical process of chewing and then by a multitude of a complicated chemical process that extracts nutrients to feed your system and expel toxins. The best way to ensure that we are helping make it easy for our bodies to digest the food we are eating is to chew A LOT. Doing that the food is mixed well with the digestive juices that we have inside so we can easily digest and better absorbed the substances for optimal nutrition. So what’s the secret to better digestion? CHEWING! Believe it or not, chewing is one of the most important aids to our digestion. It is also one often take for granted. Majority of people swallow the food forgetting to grind the teeth together. Up to 30 times of bite is […]
Discover Your Inner Self. Become a New You. When was the last time you slowed down?
I love writing my weekly blog, and I missed it while on standby during my month in Italy. Even if I didn’t write, I collected pictures, sensations, emotions about this fantastic time there. It’s inspirational traveling around. Looking at fabulous places while having a chance to think about your life, your journey, why you are here, and what you can share with others it’s a great opportunity. In my last trip I touched base Sardinia and Liguria, and my eyes got to see beautiful landscaping. I tasted delicious local products while enjoying the peace of some of the gorgeous places in the world. Starting from Levanto, visiting Cinque Terre, passing by Portofino, Sanremo, Bordighera, and Montecarlo. Then flew to Arbatax in Sardinia and finally spent sometimes in Villasimius. Traveling is one of the best experience we can have. I used to run all the time, thinking that if I stopped, I would have slowed down, and that was a negative thing to me especially for my business. Eventually, I’ve learned that slowing down is not always wrong. I got to realize one crucial point. Slowing down gave me the change of finding a better balance in my life. Create more space for yourself. The opportunity to go somewhere or take it easy gives you the addition to create more space for yourself. You can find time to enjoy simple things like a walk on the beach, for instance, a dinner with family and friends, a glimpse at sunset, going for […]
Have you ever go Dairy Free? Why Should we consider it and how to do it.
Milk, ice cream, sour cream, yogurt, butter, and cheese. What do these products have in common? Casein. This protein is commonly found in all the mammal’s milk. Whey and lactose are also founded on dairy products, and all of these three components can cause problems in the digestive system, and they may become your brain and body’s worst nightmare. Even Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the author of The China Study, during his researches and studied have found casein to be the most relevant cancer promoter ever discovered. I highly suggest you his book: https://www.amazon.com/China-Study-Comprehensive-Nutrition-Implications/dp/1932100660 It’s important sometimes to give our system a break from the products that can certainly cause dangerous problems within time. It’s worth trying a dairy-free diet for 7-14 days so you can notice the difference. How do we go dairy free? Simple and easy as drinking a glass of water. Avoid any animal milk-based products such cow-based, goat-based, sheep-based, camel-based. What to avoid: – whole milk – low-fat milk – 1% or 2%milk – skim milk – all cheese made out of milk – sour cream – puddings – ice creams – yogurt – frozen yogurt Let’s dig in. While going dairy free for a certain period is surely a good experience, you will also notice how your body and system react to that. Majority of people have allergic reactions to lactose for example, and this is the reason why big industries have created all these products “lactose-free”, “casein-free”, “blablabla-free”. Researchers talk about all these intolerances […]
Are you addicted to Sugar? Some tips will help you to become aware of that.
Is Coca-Cola one of your favorite drinks? Do you feel that some days your desire is diving into a bathtub full of chocolate? Have you ever had the feeling that you will survive only if you eat that piece of cake waiting for you inside your fridge? I’ve been there and that sensations are so hard to resist. I was chatting with one my friend last night, lovely person, and he sent me this picture of some HEALTHY foods he bought for his beloved cats. My eyes in the middle of all the grocery products spotted a bottle of Coca-Cola. The first thing I asked him was: “Why are you buying healthy food for your cats while you instead drink Coca-Cola.” He said straight to me that he loves sugar and he is addicted at this point to it. The only reason I would buy Coca-Cola is if my toilette is clogged, but I would eventually be worried to spread that to the environment lol But what if I tell you that you can control your cravings for sugar? Our brain is a brilliant machine, and he picks up things very quickly. When we start to eat sugar, our mind will recognize it as a reward, which will make him want more and more until that will become a habit. Very simple as it is. Today I want to share with you some solutions to sugar cravings. Habits are associated with emotions. I remember my self-more than ten years ago […]
What is about Mother’s Day
I’d love to cheers to all the great mothers and women out there. I want to dedicate my weekly newsletter to all the mothers and women! We celebrate Mother’s Day in many countries around the globe. It’s a significant event that we honor. Today probably is more of a commercial occasion that sells experiences and merchandise, but let’s not forget about the importance of our moms and women around us. When I think about my mom, I see strength, courage, determination, and overall honesty! Still today she is my pillar, and she always will be. I have learned over the years to appreciate everything she has done for me. All the energy she put into our family to raise my brother and me without never fall. Especially today that I’m an adult I can understand the effort she put into it. I had never seen her tired or complain. As an adult now I realized the efforts that take to raise a family and try to hold everything else together. A Mother by definition is a woman in relation to her child or children. A person who brings up a child with care and affection or give birth to a child, but I’m convinced that is more than that. A mother is a person who is loving and caring, who is great to another human being, animal, nature, even though she hadn’t the possibility to give birth to her child. My life is surrounded by incredible women who for choice […]

The Modern Food. Understanding what you are eating is important.
Last week I enjoyed talking about the importance of what we eat. It is a topic that is very much related to who I am today. Mainly when you eat good quality food, you can physically and even mentally feel better. We are what we eat, let’s dig into it. I love to build awareness around the modern systems of eating which have profoundly changed over the years especially when there is much information out there. When we think to eat nourishing foods, we may have some confusion in our minds especially today. Just thinking about all the commercials can drive us crazy. It can be tricky to understand what’s right to have and what’s not. I have learned my self one basic thing that is to me now a rule, and I strictly follow it. Never buy products that are advertised on commercial TV and everywhere around. You want to look deeper than that. Learn little by little what is safe for you and your body. Most of the products we find at the supermarket are full of chemical elements that will make us sick eventually. It is essential considering to buy less manufactured food, and the fewer preservatives you read on the label the better is. The chemical substances we find in many foods or the combination of those have become dangerous over time. The 90% of what we buy is delivered to us in containers, or it is inside a can, and because they have to last longer […]
