Up until about 10 years ago, the term “alternative medicine”, or even "a holistic approach", made many think of shamans, witches, or medical quacks. But times are changing and in the past few years, many doctors and even some conventional healthcare institutions have shown a new acceptance of holistic treatments using natural plant compounds to heal and regenerate. (1)
They are finally accepting what we've been saying for years, "Natural is better!"
Living holistically helps the body heal naturally and that's why we're sharing our top 3 tips to help you live more holistically each day....
1. Lifestyle Changes
One of the best things you do for your body is to get enough sound sleep. Not getting enough sleep can hurt your health and stress out your body. (3) Many people notice improved sleep and relaxation from increasing their magnesium levels, because magnesium is important for regulating all hormones, including sleep hormones.
Exercise is an important part of a holistic healthy lifestyle and a healthy metabolism. A 45-minute vigorous workout has been shown to aid the metabolism for 14 hours. (4) Typically cardio type exercise is recommended for weight loss, but other exercises like weights and HIIT (high intensity interval training), are better for weight loss and physical improvements. The best part is that these exercises can be done at home with minimal equipment.
Diet may be the biggest key component to living a healthy, holistic lifestyle. A nutrient dense, well-balanced diet consisting mostly of organic whole foods like fruits, nuts, and vegetables, and grass-fed, wild caught and pasture raised meats is best. This includes eliminating or limiting all processed foods, sugar, wheat and conventional dairy consumption.

2. Supplements
It always a good choice to get your daily vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat, however that's not always possible. Our soils have never been so depleted of nutrients as they are today.
And the fact is, it's only getting worse with the increased use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers. You see there's evidence that pesticides penetrate the soil and kill off microbial activity in the soil. (5) These microbes are responsible for making the nutrients in the soil available to the crop or plant, which makes the plant deficient in these vital nutrients.
That's why it's essential to supplement certain nutrients, to make sure you're body isn't deficient - which makes us feel and look like our vibrant, glowing and healthiest self.
3. Environment
Our environment can significantly impact our health negatively. Dioxins are highly toxic chemicals, found in the environment. They are found in herbicides and are the by-product of industry and the burning of garbage. Humans are most often exposed to dioxins through food, especially conventional dairy products, factory farmed meat and farm raised seafood. Dioxins have been connected to an increased risk of cancer.

Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium have been found in not only public water sources but also in our air, food and soil. (7) Our environment has been severely polluted by industry and chemical companies who value profits over humanity. These heavy metals bioaccumulate in our environment, making the air we breath, the water we drink and the food we eat loaded with these toxins.
A few ways to limit your exposure to these environmental toxins is by purifying your water and eating only organic whole foods. Stay away from conventionally raised dairy products, factory farmed meats and farm raised seafood.
