The World Health Organization (WHO) (2019) defines health as follows:
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
When asking people what stops them from enjoying life, the replies are frequently similar and include:
- low energy or fatigue
- pain
- lack of motivation
- feeling overwhelmed or stressed
- not enough hours in the day
Sound familiar? We live in a fast-paced society where many demands are placed on us and our time. How do we deal with this and remain healthy, pain-free and vibrant? We nurture our vital force.
Ancient cultures had many differing names for our vital force – Chi and Prana are perhaps most well-known. Vital force is that intangible energy that drives life and is the foundation of all biological functions. Vital force is found in all living organisms – plant and animal – and in us. It is ever changing and responding to our environment. Unquantifiable, this force regulates homeostasis (balance) within our body and helps us feel energised, focused and healthy. Watch this video to see how you can maintain optimal health through diet, nutrition, herbal medicine and keep your vital force strong.
Rediscovering Health the Natural Way
Everything in our body is connected but when your brain is struggling, you don’t feel on top of things. If you can think clearly, concentrate and focus on the task at hand, that’s already a great step, right? Here are some tips on why our brain gets tired and how to help it be re-energised.
Our brain’s ability to function is directly related to digestive health, also known as the “Gut-Brain Connection“. No part of our body works in isolation. Therefore, if one area isn’t “performing” the way we would like, we need to assess the body as a whole.
