It's Earth Day month, a time to celebrate our magnificent planet and the incredible bodies that allow us to experience it.

But what if I told you there's a way to honor the Earth and become a radiant Earth angel – a beacon of health and vitality? Forget fad diets and restrictive schemes.

It’s a perfect time to reflect on our lifestyle choices and their impact on both our health and the planet.

Today, we're exploring 8 natural practices that can help you achieve a radically healthy, disease-free body…

Eat Like Mother Nature Intended: Embrace Whole Foods

Ditch the calorie counting and focus on quality, not quantity. Fill your plate with a rainbow of whole, unprocessed foods.

Think fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These nutrient powerhouses give your body the good stuff it craves to thrive, naturally.

Stay Alkaline

Ever feel sluggish after a heavy meal? It might have to do with your body's internal pH balance.

Most fruits and vegetables promote an alkaline state, while processed foods, dairy, and animal products can be more acidic.

Think of alkalinity as a happy, thriving ecosystem for your gut bacteria to flourish.

By aiming for an alkaline tilt, you're not just helping your body function better, you're also mirroring the natural balance found in healthy ecosystems on Earth.

Fight Inflammation with Food

Inflammation is linked to a whole host of health concerns.

Try to keep refined sugar to a minimum and limit processed carbohydrates.

Ensure you focus on consuming healthy fats such as chia seeds and flax seeds which are packed with Omega 3s, and reduce your intake of Omega 6s, which can create inflammation when eaten too frequently.

Supercharge Your Diet with Nature's Powerhouses

Nature's got your back when it comes to boosting your health.

An amazing way to supplement a healthy diet is by adding herbs and superfoods to your regular eating habits.

Adding a sprinkle of turmeric, ginger, or cumin to your meals can boost your health.

Goji berries, raw cacao, and broccoli sprouts are also fantastic choices.

Remember, you don't need to break the bank to benefit – incorporate what you can, and your body will feel the difference.

Choose Fresh Food over Dehydrated

It’s fine to include dehydrated snacks in your diet, as long as they contain a high water content.

You can eat a small amount of healthy cookies, breads etc as long as the majority of your diet is made up of fresh, living food (predominantly fruits and vegetables as well as healthy grains.)

Keep Acrylamide Levels Low

Acrylamides are created when you bake or fry carbohydrate based foods at a high temperature. They have been shown to increase our risk of cancer.

You can avoid creating toxins in your body by cutting down on high-temperature methods of cooking and avoiding frying.

There are many ways to enjoy delicious and healthy meals without scorching the pan. Explore lower-heat options like steaming or stir-frying. These methods preserve more nutrients and use less energy, making you a friend to both your body and the planet.

Move Your Body

Find activities you love, whether it's a brisk walk in nature (soaking up the sunshine and fresh air!), a yoga session that connects you to the Earth's energy, or a dance class that gets you moving.

Aim for daily movement to keep your energy levels high and your spirits bright.

Remember, a healthy body is a temple, and just like the Earth needs movement (think wind, waves, etc.), your body thrives on it too.

Prepare Food in Advance

Planning is key. Ensure that your home and workplace are well stocked with healthy food choices at all times. That way, you will not have to stress.

You can rest assured that you always have something you want to eat that meets your needs and is healthy – no matter how busy life gets.

Swap out unhealthy packets of potato chips with hummus and wholegrain crackers or rice cakes, for example.

Think of it as taking care of your own little corner of the Earth – your body!

In wrapping up,

By adopting these natural wellness practices, you're honoring your body, an incredible ally designed to thrive alongside nature.

Each choice to nourish it with whole foods, engage in joyful movement, and opt for freshness is a profound act of self-love.

This journey elevates your physical health and enriches your mental and emotional well-being.

As you commit to this path of care and respect, your health and vitality will soar, reflecting the deep gratitude your body holds for the love you've shown it.
