๐ฟ๐ Taking a stroll through natureโs embrace along the lakeside today, I was reminded of the profound healing power of the natural world. As a lifestyle medicine physician and master health coach, I always emphasise the importance of integrating nature into our daily routines for both mental and physical well-being. ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ The calm waters of the lake mirrored the serene skies, providing a perfect backdrop for a moment of reflection. Walking not only boosts our physical health by improving cardiovascular fitness and aiding weight management, but it also elevates our mood and can decrease feelings of stress and anxiety. ๐ณโจ Surrounded by the whispering trees and the gentle lapping of the water, I felt a deep sense of peace and gratitude. Itโs moments like these that rejuvenate our spirits and renew our energies to face the bustling world. I encourage you all to find time this week to step outside, take a deep breath of fresh air, and reconnect with the soothing essence of nature. ๐ช๐ผ๐งโโ๏ธ Remember, your journey to health is not just about what you eat or how much you exercise; itโs also about nurturing your soul and finding harmony in the environments around you. #LifestyleMedicine #HealthCoach #NatureHealing #MindfulWalking #LakeWalks #NatureTherapy #FindYourPeace #HolisticHealth

** HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023*** My wish for 2023 is that more people understand the value of their health. Too many of us talk about New Year's resolutions as diets and short-term fixes rather than getting in the mindset of making permanent lifestyle changes. Our health depends on the choices we make day in and day out. It's a conscious decision to prioritise how we eat, habits we create, thoughts we think , routines we have in place, and how we spend our time on this earth. Please take a moment to acknowledge your patterns of how you've approached your health in the past. Happy New Year 2023 to you and your loved ones. Sunil

โThere is something to be wondered at in all of Natureโ - Aristotle Nature is so central to our psychological and emotional health, that itโs almost impossible to realise good mental health for all without a greater connection to the natural world. For most of human history, we lived as part of nature. It is only in the last five generations that so many of us have lived and worked in a context that is largely separated from nature. And it is only since a 1960s study in the US found that patients who were treated in hospitals with a view of nature recovered faster, that science has started to unpack the extraordinary health benefits.#mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #natureandmentalhealth
Eating out of phase with daily circadian rhythms induces metabolic desynchrony in peripheral metabolic organs and may increase chronic disease risk. Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary approach that consolidates all calorie intake to 6- to 10-h periods during the active phase of the day, without necessarily altering diet quality and quantity. TRE reduces body weight, improves glucose tolerance, protects from hepatosteatosis, increases metabolic flexibility, reduces atherogenic lipids and blood pressure, and improves gut function and cardiometabolic health in preclinical studies. This review discusses the importance of meal timing on the circadian system, the metabolic health benefits of TRE in preclinical models and humans, the possible mechanisms of action, the challenges we face in implementing TRE in humans, and the possible consequences of delaying initiation of TRE.#https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7262456/ lifestylemedicinephysician #lifestylemedicinemovement #britsoclm
