      Talking Total Body Wellness

       In This Chapter

      ▶ Setting the stage for your Total Body Diet

      ▶ Combining mind and body in your wellness plan

      ▶ Understanding how to reboot your lifestyle for health and happiness

      So, you want to embark on a lifestyle change that can promote health, well-being, and the quality of your life? The Total Body Diet offers a road map for a healthy mind and body by identifying nutrient-dense foods, ways to eat more mindfully, and keys to getting regular physical activity.

      How can what you eat affect your total body health? Numerous studies have shown that a healthy pattern of eating has been linked to reduced risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, cognitive decline or dementia, and premature death, among other health benefits. Plus, research into physical activity shows benefits of improved flexibility, strength, mood, focus, and productivity.

      

Here are some key principles of the Total Body Diet:

      ✔ Choose foods that are minimally processed (prepared without large amounts of added sugar, salt, and fat). Minimize the additives you eat by checking labels and preparing foods at home with herbs and spices instead of a lot of salt, sugar, and fat.

      ✔ Balance your daily eating plan with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (either animal or plant protein), and lowfat or fat-free dairy products.

      ✔ Drink water mainly. Limit your consumption of beverages like regular soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, coffee, and tea.

      ✔ Prepare meals and snacks at home. You’ll save calories with portion control and get less salt, added sugar, and solid fat.

      ✔ Eat slowly and savor your food. You’ll reap the health benefits of mindful eating, which can help with the management of weight, type 2 diabetes, appetite, and cravings.

The Whole Picture of You

      Before you can begin to make changes in your lifestyle, knowing where you are in your journey toward total body health and wellness is important. Ask yourself the following questions:

      ✔ Why do I want to make changes now? What is my goal?

      ✔ How ready am I to make this change? If it helps to quantify your readiness, rate yourself on a scale from 1 (not ready at all) to 5 (very ready).

      ✔ Am I willing to try new, healthier foods?

      ✔ Do I want to get more active or change my physical activity?

      ✔ Do I understand that change is a gradual process that takes time, patience, and daily action?

      Think about your answers to these questions. If you’re ready to change your lifestyle and create lasting changes, you’re in the right place. It may take some time to get in the right frame of mind and find the motivation to power forward.

       Getting into a wellness state of mind

      The way you think about your health and wellness plays a role in the action you take toward living a healthier lifestyle. If you prioritize your health, you’ll develop what I call a wellness state of mind, or a permanent healthy mindset. You’ll think first and foremost about making the healthiest choice at the moment when it comes to food and physical activity. Instead of falling prey to unconscious eating and drinking, your new wellness mindset will help you become more focused on and conscious of your choices.

      

Wellness is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Your wellness is unique to you, and it takes time to develop a wellness state of mind. It doesn’t happen overnight. Be patient. Understand what you want and where you’re starting from right now.

Tuning up your muscles

      Regardless of your age or gender, your body and mind benefit from movement. According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, there is strong evidence that regular physical activity can help to decrease the risk of early death, cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure, weight gain, and depression among many other health benefits.

      There are three key ways that physical activity benefits your total body wellness:

      ✔ Overload: Placing physical stress on your muscles, bones, heart, and lungs allows them to adapt to greater capacity and makes their function more efficient and stronger.

      ✔ Progression: Continually increasing your activity level, which overloads your body’s systems, increases your fitness levels to enable you to keep doing more.

      ✔ Specificity: The type of activity you’re doing benefits the specific body part that is doing the work (for example, aerobic activity works the cardiovascular system).

      So what does this mean? If you aren’t currently active, start slow and progress to a higher level slowly to build up your strength and stamina (the ability to sustain the activity for longer periods of time). For example, if you’re new to activity, start with walking instead of running. When you’re comfortable walking longer distances, start working in a little jogging at a time (a minute here or there, then two minutes, and so on). Creating
