Feeding Your Feelings? Uncover the Factors Behind Emotional Eating
The relationship between our emotions and eating habits is complex and often misunderstood. Emotional eating is not simply a problem to be solved...
It’s interesting to think about how we humans live in present-day society vs. how we lived in the past. Not that long ago, we were outside foraging our food, walking to find shelter, or at the very least making meals from scratch vs. calling uber eats. Many of us work from home on our laptops at our office jobs. But, If you’ve noticed, popular hiking trails have gotten even MORE popular once the pandemic hit. People seem to have realized how important it is to get outside, breathe fresh air, and move our bodies! Besides reaching and physical goals you may have, there are so many (even more important!) benefits to moving your body daily. Your mental health improves, your gut health improves, and your overall stress level decreases if you’re able to get at least 20 minutes (yes, just 20 minutes) of movement into your day. Bonus points if it’s outside, but hey, baby steps!
These simple tips seem easy enough when you’re reading them, but taking the time to do them can be another thing altogether. If you ever need some motivation, I would love to be your health coach to help guide you through the best practices and personalize a routine just for you. Of course, taking a brisk 20-30 minute walk or hopping on your treadmill is a fantastic way to get your exercise, and I would never deter you from a traditional workout. But if you’re finding yourself busy or just lacking the motivation to get your body moving, start with a few of these baby steps, and I promise you’ll begin to feel better. You can do it! You’ll find the benefits gradually improve your overall health and wellbeing.
