Flow movement for mental health and mindful movement benefits.
πŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™€
Mental health, anxiety and the benefits of the right type of exercise.

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
In my experience as a Personal Trainer for 25 years, I have found that exercise is one of the greatest sources of relief for stress, anxiety and depressive moods.

It can sometimes be forgotten that exercise is a great way to deal with mental health issues. I personally have many clients who exercise with me purely for the benefit of aiding in healing, improving depression and eliviating anxiety. Flow movements are amazing for grounding yourself and regaining that connection within yourself, with your body to mind and removing those stress factors we carry around with us.

πŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™€What are flow movements?
Flow movements, which include practices like yoga, pilates or tai chi, are rhythmic, continuous, and often meditative movements. Flow movements help us achieve a positve mind-body connection and anxiety relief through movement.

Incorporating flow pracitces even if it's just for a few mintues a day can contribute to a more positve, stable and relaxed mental state.

πŸ§˜πŸ½β€β™€How can flow movements help with my anxiety and mental health?

1. Engagement in the Present: Flow movements encourage us to focus on the present moment, which helps shift attention away from anxious thoughts. This type of "mindful movement" is grounding and can reduce the tendency to overthink.

2. Activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Flow activities involve deep, controlled breathing and slow, intentional movements that help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This "rest and digest" mode counters the "fight or flight" response associated with anxiety.

3. Endorphin Release: Flow movements release endorphins, the brain’s natural "feel-good" chemicals, which can help elevate mood and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

4. Improved Body Awareness: Practicing flow movements increases awareness of bodily sensations, which can help people better recognize signs of tension or stress. This body-mind connection is helpful for managing anxious responses.

5. Enhanced Cognitive Function: Flow states can increase cognitive flexibility, enhance problem-solving abilities, and improve focus and mental clarity, which can help with managing stress and anxiety.

6. Building Confidence and Resilience: Completing a flow sequence can foster a sense of accomplishment and resilience, which boosts self-esteem and provides a mental buffer against stress.
πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

High intensity workouts as a stress reliever and mood changer are not for everyone. I find that flow movements do have a much longer effect on relieving the symptoms of anixety, stress and depression and other mental health related issues.

Today I am going to be preparing these healthy, homemade, high protein, delicious Penut butter, Twix bars πŸ˜‹
You will find the full recipe in my video below πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Firstly lets talk a little about why I prefer making homemade snacks and treats, over store bought.

Homemade snacks can often be more beneficial for weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, compared to store-bought ones, mainly because you have control over the ingredients and portion sizes. Store-bought snacks can be high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and high-calorie additives that contribute to weight gain.

I love making snacks at home as I can:

Use whole, unprocessed ingredients.

Control the amount of sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.

Customize portion sizes to prevent overeating.

Choose healthier cooking methods like baking or air frying instead of deep frying.

Always note, that weight loss ultimately depends on your overall calorie intake and nutritional balance. If homemade snacks are made with calorie-dense ingredients or are consumed in large amounts, they could still hinder weight loss or affect your healthy lifestyle habits. To maximize the benefits, opt for nutrient-dense, low-calorie options like fresh fruit, nuts in moderation, vegetable sticks with hummus, or yogurt-based snacks and choose healthy ingredients, as we do here, when baking and cooking.

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Hiii,

πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Today I am going to teach you how to make healthy, tasty, energy bars at home. These are a delighful treat for the whole family and perfect when you need a pick me up or a pre workout boost!
πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
Homemade energy bars offer several benefits, especially when compared to store-bought versions.
Here are some key advantages:

Nutritional Control: You can control the ingredients, ensuring they are healthy and free from additives, preservatives, and excess sugars. This allows you to focus on nutrient-dense ingredients like oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.

Customizable: You can tailor the bars to your specific dietary needs or preferences, such as being gluten-free, vegan, or high-protein. You can also adjust the sweetness or flavor to your liking.

Cost-Effective: Making energy bars at home is often more economical than buying pre-packaged ones, especially when you buy ingredients in bulk.

Healthier Ingredients: Store-bought bars often contain unhealthy fats, artificial sweeteners, and processed ingredients. Homemade versions let you use natural, whole foods like honey, maple syrup, coconut oil, and nut **** er.

Sustained Energy: When made with ingredients like complex carbs (oats), healthy fats (nuts, seeds), and natural sugars, homemade energy bars provide long-lasting energy, making them a great snack for workouts, busy days, or hikes.

Portion Control: You can create the bars in the portion sizes that suit your needs, helping with calorie control if that's important to your health goals.

No Unwanted Allergens: Homemade bars allow you to avoid allergens like dairy, soy, gluten, or nuts, ensuring that they are safe for you or your family members.

Freshness: Homemade bars are fresher compared to store-bought ones, which may sit on shelves for months. This can improve both the taste and nutritional value.

So, taking all of the above into account, have a look at the video below and let me know how you customised your energy bars.

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
My ingredients
3 cups of quick cooking oats
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp all spice
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup nuts (your choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsps coconut oil

DO WE REALLY GLOW DIFFERENTLY when we're exposed to Vitamin D? 🌞 β˜€ 🌞 β˜€ 🌞 β˜€
.
.
Yes, vitamin D, which is produced when your skin is exposed to sunlight, plays a significant role in your overall health, and it can indeed affect your skin's appearance. Adequate levels of vitamin D are linked to healthy skin because it supports cell renewal and repair, which can lead to a more radiant, glowing complexion.

Additionally, vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce skin conditions like acne or eczema, and it promotes better mood and energy levels, which could also contribute to a noticeable "glow."

Hello πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•
I am here again.. πŸ’œ for you and our topic for today will be about Mental Health.

Exercise and mental health go hand in hand. Fighting stress and depression with exercise is definitely the way forward. Exercise can boost your mood and help give you a more positive outlook, as well as improving your sense of control, your self esteem and your coping abilites.
Feeling good after achieving a physical goal may help ease depression and anxiety by the release of endorphins (a natural chemical released by our brain). These endorphins give us a sense of imporved well-being and help us have more positive thoughts.
Alongside this, exercise reduces the levels of stress hormones in the body, therefore we have much better sleep patterns, improved mood and less overall anxiety.

So, what are you waiting for?
Check out my video below and lets get you moving today!πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

HiπŸ’œπŸ’œ, today we are discussing 'Cortisol'.
In this day and age of stressful living I find it is a reocurring topic among my clients. So, today we will help you understand what cortisol is and why it is so important to try to keep this hormone regulated as much as possible.

Do you have high cortisol levels?

⚫What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is your bodies main stress hormone, made by our adrenal glands. Your mood, anxiety levels, motivation, drepression levels are all controlled via the brain and cortisol. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland within the brain monitors the level of cortisol within the blood. Your brain adjusts the level of cortisol it makes as it senses a change in your levels. The pituitary gland will then control the amount of cortisol released.

⚫Why do we produce cortisol?
Cortisol is used within our bodies for a number of reasons which include
1. Controlling the level of inflammation within the body
2.Regulating our lood pressure
3. Controlling our sleep patterns
4. Increases our energy in stressful situations
5. Increases gloucose within the body
6. Manages how we use certain nutrients including fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

⚫How does cortisol work within the body?
We have receptors for cortisol in most cells within our body and each cell recieves and uses the hormone in a different way. Our daily activities, experiences and lifestyle dictate how much cortisol we need each day, so generally our requirements fluctuate day to day.
Stressful situations which put us on high alert will cause a change in our cortisol levels which isn't usually an issue as once the stress is removed our levels return to normal and the ody regulates its self and balance is restored.
However, when we are under a constant or longterm state of stress including being the the state if flight or fight for an extended peiod of time, this is when potentially too much or even too little of the hormone is released into the bloodstream and things begin to become unregulated within the body which derails many of our functions.
This can potentially lead to
* constant high or low blood pressure
* headahes
* anxiety
* depression
* memory loss
* brain fog and confusion
* restless leg syndrome and interrupted sleep patterns
* digestive issues and complaints
* weight gain and weight loss
* easily bruised skin
* patches of dark skin
* muscle weakness
* distended or bloated stomach
* excessive tiredness

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
⚫How can we help our bodies regulate this hormone?
Using the right type of exercise can really help reduce levels and improve your overall health, both physically and mentally. Therapeutic exercises such as swimming, yoga, pilates, and stretching, along with good breathing techniques can help reduce your cortisol levels significantly and naturally. In the longterm you will notice a reduction in the overall symptoms of having excessive fluctuations in cortisol levels.πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
