Music is often said to be the universal language. Nietzsche said “Without music, life would be a mistake”. But did you know that listening to music can be good for your health?

Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure and pain. It can also improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness and memory.

Many of us probably already listen to music to calm us in situations where we might feel anxious. It activates areas in our brain in ways that may help promote health and manage disease symptoms.

Scientists have shown that they can see the active areas light up in MRI scans!

It’s like a brain workout, which is especially beneficial during the ageing process. Did you also know that music memory is one of the brain functions most resistant to dementia?

So basically, if you want to exercise your brain, try tip #17, and listen to music.

What music do you like to listen to?

The slow and gentle movements of Qigong originate in China and are acknowledged as exercises which can aid in promoting good health, especially in older age. You may have seen TV or film footage of groups of people in China practising together in parks in the mornings.

Qigong means “energy exercise” and these short moves are often aimed at specific body systems; for example, a lung exercise may assist your breathing, while a stomach exercise is focused on digestion.

Finding a class is a sociable way of learning these skills, and Qigong classes are widely offered these days. Look up your local community centre or try online.

A simple Qigong practice to do in the mornings, preferably outside in the fresh air, is to stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees unlocked and slightly bent, arms a little away from your sides, and crown of the head reaching toward the sky. Breathe in and allow your arms to float up in front of you to shoulder height, as if in water, now drop your elbows and glide your hands, palm down, towards you, finally slowly press your hands downwards as you breathe out. Repeat several times and enjoy feeling “between sky and earth”.

Give tip #16 a try. Start to learn Qigong.

Did you know that having a hobby or pastime can have a positive impact on your physical and mental health and wellbeing? Studies have shown that creative hobbies like art or music can reduce and even prevent stress. Different parts of your brain are activated when you take part in creative activities. If you prefer more physical activities, then anything from a hike to a sporting activity can bring significant benefits to health and wellbeing. Either way, whatever interests you, there’s a hobby for you.

When you’re doing something you enjoy you’re completely focused on the task, so think less about other things which may be worrying you. It can be rewarding and enjoying immersing yourself in something.

Hobbies are also a good way to socialise with others who share the same interest. There are lots of clubs, societies and classes out there to try. Group activities are a great way to meet new people, which in itself is a good for your mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

Many people take foundation kinesiology training as a hobby or interest and may use it with friends and family without ever setting up a practice. Classes are friendly and informal and a great way to learn valuable wellbeing techniques and information whilst connecting with people with similar interests.

Details of courses can be found on our website at https://www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk/training/course-diary-search.php

Give tip #15 a try. Choose a hobby or pastime and feel the benefits.

Have you ever tried eating seasonal fruit and vegetables rather than the same things throughout the year? If you haven’t, giv

Different fruit and vegetables flourish at different times of the year, and eating them when they’re in season offers increased nutrient density and freshness, along with a more natural favour. Eating with the seasons also means that there’s plenty of variety all year-round, meaning you can try lots of different recipes.

Eating seasonally also supports local communities, economies and producers. It’s good for the environment by reducing the distance that food needs to be transported, lowering carbon emissions, and often doesn’t require preservatives because it goes from picking to plate more quickly too.

Align with your body’s natural needs throughout the year, and be sustainable to the planet at the same time. It’s an easy way to make your diet more varied, more nutritious, and more flavoursome.

If you're struggling with finding foods that suit your system have a chat with your local kinesiologist and get the lowdown on what works best for your body. Find your local practitioner at www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk/search

Try tip number 14. Eat with the seasons!

Everyone likes a cup of tea, or so it seems. But how many of you know that herbal teas offer health-promoting properties and can be good for you? In fact, they’ve been used as natural remedies for centuries. We’re not talking about some sugary drinks that you can buy in shops. We mean traditional herbal teas, tisanes, which are blends or infusions of dried fruits, flowers, spices or herbs in water.

Studies have shown that certain teas can boost your immune system, fight inflammation and support cardiovascular health amongst other things. It’s because of the specific antioxidants found in tea. Why not see if there’s a herbal tea for you?

Remember to always buy from a reputable source, and drink in moderation. Some herbal teas can interact with specific medications so make sure you take professional advice if you’re unsure or are concerned about health conditions.

Reducing your caffeine intake can also support the impact of other therapies and activities so ask your local Professional Kinesiologist if they can recommend the best ones to support your well being journey.

Try tip number 13. Give herbal tea a go!

How often do you visit a forest? Aside from the enjoyment and visual stimulation of being closer to nature, there are genuine health benefits in regular visits to forests, known as forest bathing.

Have you ever heard the term phytoncides? You’d be forgiven if you haven’t. Think of them as tree essential oils that have medicinal properties. They are one of the main benefits of forest bathing.

Studies have shown that if you visit forests regularly you could experience health benefits including reducing stress levels and boosting immune function, as well improvements to a range of other lifestyle-induced illnesses.

Our tip number 12 is to try forest bathing. Get outside and breathe in the fresh phytoncide-filled air. It’s a fantastic way to promote your health and wellbeing.

Kinesiology is another wonderful way to support your body and mind, especially if you find yourself overstimulated in the 'busyness' of the modern world. Visit www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk/search to find a practitioner local to you.

Are you a fast eater?

We all know who in our family is the one whose plate will be empty before anyone else has barely started. Maybe it’s you? It’s actually a common habit for many people, made worse by busy lives and people often rushing from one thing to another.

It’s not a joke though. Eating slowly has been shown to be better for your health than eating quickly.

It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that you’re full, so slowing your eating pace lets your body register fullness signals from your brain. This can help to control calorie intake and weight management. It also gives you more time to chew and break down food, which can help improve nutrient absorption and reduce problems like bloating, indigestion and heartburn.

Try pausing throughout your meal, chew your food more mindfully and thoroughly before swallowing, and give your body the chance to know when it’s full.

It’ll give you greater enjoyment and appreciation of the food that you’re eating too!

Give tip number 11 a try. Eat slowly and if you find that a challenge contact your local kinesiology practitioner at www.kinesiologyfederation.co.uk/searchto help you redefine your relationship with food.

Let’s improve our health together.

In a world dominated by phones and computers, many of us rarely actually write anything.

Our tip number 10 is therefore to write something. By writing, we mean physically writing something with a pen or pencil. Typing emails doesn’t count!

Writing by hand isn’t a nostalgic skill which we don’t need in our everyday lives, it’s more stimulating for the brain than writing on computer. There’s lots of evidence that it has psychological benefits. It increases brain connectivity and keeps your mind active. If you write a diary or journal it can help you gather your thoughts and process life’s emotional ups and downs too. This can support positive wellbeing.

So whether you write a diary or journal, or something more creative, the benefits to your wellbeing could be surprising.

Remember too, that the physical action of writing is also good for maintaining dexterity, and engaging the fine motor system has positive effects on learning and memory.

Let’s improve our health together.
