A Note from Ilana |
|
|
"Shine Bright like a Diamond" the Power of Positivity! |
Are we positive thinkers? Does what we think and feel really influence our self worth and well-being? Does the mental and physical advantages of a positive mindset enhance the quality of our life and longevity? The answer is big fat YES! As an Ambassador for Global Wellness Day, our mission is to advocate the importance of well-being and encourage a healthily lifestyle into our community. Positive thinking falls in line with our manifesto which embraces wellness. A positive outlook has been shown to help us live longer and provide a booster to our immune system. People with an optimistic outlook manage better and a good temperament can establish our capability for coping with stress and life's challenges. Having a positive state of mind makes us resilient. |

Wellness Is The New Luxury: Is Healthy And Happy The Future Of Retail? |
|
|
|
|
Consumers are placing more value on health and wellness than on material objects these days, and the definition of health and wellness has evolved. The phrase no longer refers simply to a lack of illness and disease, but to a more holistic state of being, where ones mental, physical and emotional health are in sync. And in an era in which so many catalog their lives on social media, looking great, feeling good and sleeping well are the new luxuries that consumers want to enjoy and flaunt. |

In order to make Wellness a lifestyle, Global Wellness Day aims to adopt the following seven simple steps. What is important is not to implement all of the steps all at once, but to incorporate at least just a few of them into your daily life on a regular basis. WALK FOR AN HOUR You feel happier as you walk because the brain secretes endorphin while you are walking. You can keep fit by walking. Your muscles get stronger, you lose belly fat, the level of cholesterol reduces and it helps you overcome your weight problems. DRINK MORE WATER People who drink less water might suffer exhaustion, attention deficiency and memory problems. The more water you drink the less carbonated drink you consume. DON'T USE PLASTIC BOTTLES The plastic bottles made of petroleum waste cause innumerable damage to our health and the environment. EAT HEALTHY FOOD Try to consume foods which are produced through natural methods by using appropriate fertilization and weed control techniques without using pesticides and certain chemicals. DO A GOOD DEED Do a good deed to break your prejudices, to make the world a better place to live. See how you will change your life by changing someone else’s. HAVE A FAMILY DINNER WITH YOUR LOVED ONES Eat a family dinner with your loved ones in a room where, if possible, there are no smart phones and TV. Talk about your day. Listen to each other’s recommendations. Some research shows that the family dinners with the loved ones have a psychologically positive effect on the children who suffer obesity. SLEEP AT 10:00 PM Sleep is a critical process during which our body regulates everything and repairs and heals itself. It slows down ageing and protects us from diseases. HGH (Human Growth Hormone) is released by the brain into the bloodstream during sleep and it’s release is part of the repair and restoration function of sleep. The major period of HRH release is in the first period of stage 3 sleep during the night. |

Shamrock Shake Smoothie |

Our healthy take on the classic Shamrock Shake uses fresh spinach and juicy kiwi to achieve the fun and festive color we all love. Using fresh mint makes this smoothie extra minty and refreshing. |
