Tips from our naturopath Aurélie Canzoneri for a happy body

Feeding

Eliminate refined products and ready-made meals as much as possible. you'll be taking in empty calories with no nutritional effect. Avoid overly fatty and salty dishes, as well as sugar and stimulants (like coffee): we consume them to give ourselves a boost, but they're just a decoy... The pancreas secretes insulin to lower blood sugar levels, putting you into reactive hypoglycemia and prompting you to have another cup to compensate.

The right nutrients every day

Make sure you get the right nutrients every day: proteins (vegetable or animal), lipids (2 tablespoons of omega-3-rich oil, such as flaxseed oil), good carbohydrates, but above all vegetables in all their forms juices, raw vegetables, steamed, blended, etc.

But also and above all... to enjoy yourself

As I often say, and as I apply it personally, I'm not in favor of restriction and frustration: they only postpone the moment when you'll go back to your old habits. Take your time and gradually integrate new "good" habits... Changing your eating habits doesn't take a few weeks, but about 2 years.So take it easy on yourself, and don't feel guilty about giving in now and then - it's perfectly normal.

Breathing and relaxation

5 minutes of cardiac coherence to start your day or help you fall asleep at night can change everything. It will allow you to get stress and anxiety out of your head, and relax!

As you know, drinking plenty of water 

Water hydrates and helps eliminate toxins accumulated in your body. I recommend drinking 1l to 1.5l of spring water a day, regularly throughout the day so as not to weaken your kidneys, which will have to make an extra effort to filter everything out if you drink too much at once.

Surround yourself with positive people 

Because positive attracts positive... 

Sleep well 

Sleep regulates our appetitestrengthens our defenses, regenerates our cells, makes us more or less permeable to stress... The more (and better) you sleep, the better you'll feel about your body. You can also read my tips on how to get a good night's sleep here ;-)

Taking care of yourself 

Take time for yourself, to feel good, with massages, treatments, beauty rituals... It's these small, everyday gestures that make us feel good don't underestimate them.

Sports 

You don't have to hire a trainer or join a gym at first... An active 30-minute walk a day is all you need to stay in shape. What's important is regularity, not intensity!

The 80/20 rule

During the week, eat as balanced a diet as possible, try to go to bed early and do some breathing exercises, change your rhythm and treat yourself... You'll be all the happier to get back into a healthy routine that's good for your body on Monday morning ;-)
