1 ewellness magazine 3 Simple Reminders for Natural and Healthy Living Healthy living from a broad perspective encompasses everything, including your work, family, home, friends, pets and fitness/leisure pursuits. There are so many things to actually schedule into your day that it is so easy to fall out of line with any of the aforementioned. Upon acceptance of the natural stresses that we all encounter at some point, we can only choose to just deal with everything better by adapting to circumstance and any challenges we face. We can make wiser choices that are aligned Beauty with our wellness goals and that of those around us, so health becomes more than just what we do in the gym- it becomes a way of life. Here are 3 simple reminders for the naturally healthier living! 1. Have a plan for your day and make some time for you

2 Some things will always be subject to change like maybe needing to work slightly later or visit a friend in need; even so, when you have a plan for your day it puts you in control. When we are empowered we are better equipped to deal with what comes our way and also make more intelligent decisions, taking the time to weigh up pros and cons. You can function more harmoniously, encourage a more stress-free way of living and manage your tasks better when you are running on full rather than half empty. Creating a balance between work, play, and home life put you in charge! 2. Go natural, whenever and wherever you can Our bodies have a lot to contend with from external pollutants and toxins so the last thing we should be doing is adding to it with chemically laden skin, facial, or home care products. Aim to shop a little smarter and check labels for ingredients (around 60% of females do this!) the big brand names may be cheaper from a monetary perspective but more costly to you health-wise. Sometimes it makes sense to pay a little extra for a product of greater quality to your overall health. Think about your lifestyle in broad terms and how you can fuse health and well being into all aspects of it? We also need to show more awareness and wisdom for our external environment, chemical-based products can be hazardous and toxic to our surroundings too. 3. Taking care of hearth and home It is a basic human need for us to have the comfort of a happy home so we can feel emotionally

3 fulfilled and safe. Home is often our sanctuary where we retreat to relax, spend time with those we love, and shut out the external world for a short spell. Sometimes the times spent doing the more mundane cleaning tasks at home can be warmly rewarding and bring us back down to earth a little too. Looking for your living space is also an investment in you and your family s health. Some studies have shown that around 50-55% of females opt for more natural home products; there are many reasons to take that number higher and encourage our male counterparts, friends and family to do the same! Children often follow the example of their parents too, how can we teach them the importance of healthy living? There are many hidden toxins that can be detrimental to our health sitting in our kitchen and bathroom cabinets- we just need to get smarter with checking before we buy! Choosing products that contain fewer chemicals and harmful toxins can filter through the aspects of health that we integrate for eating better and exercising more.
