3 Reasons to go Natural

Why Natural?

When you hit 30 your metabolism naturally slows down by about 5% with each approaching decade. 

At age 35 you are burning 100 calories less than at age 25. 

Between 35 and 45 you are burning around 200 calories less.

If you do not adjust your diet on reaching age 40 and definitely by age 50 to account for the metabolism slow down, you can easily feel your clothes fitting tighter and you begin to feel more and more sluggish. 

Have you noticed this?

It is for this reason that we need to develop a diet rich in "fit" anti-aging foods which I loosely term a natural diet, suitable not just for our consumption but also for the benefit of the largest organ of the body, the skin.

When you think of all the chemicals we put on our bodies in the name of beauty, good health and hygiene, the list is never ending. Shampoo, conditioner, hair serum, hair spray and gel and that's just for the hair before we move onto the face and our skincare.  It works out to be a pretty expensive business and on close examination of the ingredients, we can see that it can be pretty destructive on our long term health. 

Hmm or does it have to be?!!! 

This blog is all about looking at ways to achieve good health from the inside out, using Nature's arsenal of supercharged nutrient laden, chemical free, non genetically modified products. Every herb and every tree is available to us in service to our long term health and inner glowing beauty. You are worth it!

So I find myself exploring a whole new world that is available for our benefit should we but change our attitude and be ready to embrace new things one small step at a time. 
Shop in a different parking lot!
Learn new things, shop in a different way looking for the nuts, seeds, oils, herbs and natural foods that bring out your inner beauty and give you strength to do everything you dream of.

Three Reasons to go Natural
When your friends and family ask you why, you can confidently say:

1. The health returns are worth it
Some may consider the initial outlay to be too expensive but when you consider how much you spend annually on these products and the benefits you get in return, you might find that the shift is worth it for the gains you receive. Its important to do it slowly and consider aspects of your life that you want to change and plan it into your routine until it becomes a habit. The race is not for the swift.

2. I know what I am using in my health and beauty care regime
I enjoy doing research into natural skincare and beauty products that are multi-purpose and beneficial to areas of our health; products which we can just as easily put on our skin as we would use as food. 
Olive oil, avocado, bananas, honey to name a few! 
Just like visiting a new country or having a short break in a city, this is fun. With this approach you will clearly know the ingredients you are using and the reasons why you have chosen them to accompany you on this adventure. 

3. I can create a natural health regime my way
Your health regime is unique and personal to you, so you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. A shift to natural products is just the solution that your body has been crying out for. You will often find that whenever you introduce a change to your health or beauty care regime your body sings back happy thoughts and moods to you. Then you know that you are on the right track and you can begin to layer in further natural health, skin and beauty care products through trial and error. Of course the opposite applies as well but either way, your body will respond and speak up. 

The importance of research
I am not a health expert just a  health enthusiast parent who needs a never ending supply of sustainable energy to keep ahead of a sporting, sprouting, growing family. Even though some of them are young adults I seem to need more energy now than when they were babies! How did that happen, I do not know. I just cannot afford to be constantly fatigued and tired all the time while life is passing by and waving to me.  

Does this sound like you too? 
Maybe now it's your time to consider the three reasons to go natural and follow the quick 4 step plan.

• Choose one aspect to work on  such as your hair. skin or diet
• Decide what you want to achieve such as rejuvenate your skin or thicken your hair
• Make a list of the new products or ingredients you want to introduce and how you might do it. You could choose to begin juicing green vegetables
• Do it starting with the next shopping trip

I would advise you to do your own research to convince yourself, or not, about any thing I write on this blog. 
You are so unique that what works for one may not work for you in the same way but there is certainly something that works for you.
I hope that you will be encouraged to look into new things highlighted on this blog that are natural and beneficial for your health, skin and beauty care.
