Health and wellbeing can be hard to define. It’s your overall physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It’s when you feel comfortable, secure, and content, connected with other people, in touch with your own values and beliefs, and as though your life has meaning. For many people, this has been disrupted or become unbalanced.

There are many things in your life you cannot change, but there are also plenty you can. Often it is the small things in your day-to-day life that affect your health and wellbeing. So, focus on the positive, enjoy the small things, and look after yourself!

1. Eat well

Firstly, you can support your health and wellbeing by eating nourishing foods. Feed your body and mind with lots of seasonal wholefoods. We are coming into warmer months where fresh fruit and vegetables are more plentiful. Eating a wide variety of brightly-coloured fruit and vegetables gives you plenty of nutrients. They are also visually appealing, which makes them more fun to eat! 

2. De-stress

Reduce stress levels where you can. Be mindful and focus on today, not tomorrow or yesterday - this can help to reduce nervous tension. Slow down and take time for yourself. Appreciate what you have and connect with loved ones, and most importantly, laugh.

3. Laugh!

Research shows that laughter can help to reduce stress levels, bring greater happiness, and even support healthy immunity! Find ways to increase laughter by finding humour in life. Instead of getting upset with life’s frustrations, laugh about them.

4. Add nutrients

For further support, you can introduce specific nutrients to support a healthy nervous system and your response to stress. There are a variety of herbs that can support you and they include:

• St John’s wort - a well-known herb which supports a healthy mood. St John’s wort supports the body and mind by supporting a healthy nervous system, sleep patterns, emotional balance and wellbeing

• Rose root - an adaptogen herb that supports your body in times of stress

• Siberian ginseng – a herb that supports your ability to handle stress, along with supporting energy levels and mental clarity

• Passionflower - a lovely, calming herb that supports relaxation and eases nervous tension.
