Nourishing
What is the importance of taking care of our health and wellness?
Welcome to our Q1 2024 pillar, Women Who Get It: Nourish Their Bodies. As we step into the new year, statistics show that embracing fitness and a healthy lifestyle ranks among the top resolutions made. At Women Who Get It – Literary Club we acknowledge the significance of these aspirations. However, we also recognize the importance of approaching these goals mindfully, prioritizing not just how we look but, more importantly, how we feel.
Our first pillar of the year focuses on nurturing the body through nutrition, fostering a positive body image, and advocating for a balanced approach to wellness. We believe that true health extends beyond mere physical appearances; it encompasses mental and emotional well-being. Researchers have begun unravelling the significant impact of food not only on our physical health but also on our moods and emotions. This emerging field delves into the intricate relationship between nutrition and our mental state.
Therefore, in the first half of the topic, we aim to gain an understanding of how the foods we consume can influence our energy, mood, and overall sense of well-being and integrate them into our holistic wellness. In the second half of the pillar, we want to delve deeper into the topic of body image and reinforce a positive self-image.
As we embark on this journey together, we aim to remind everyone that the path to feeling vibrant, energetic, and confident lies not just in external transformations but in the nourishment of our minds and bodies.
Join us in exploring the power of mindful choices, sustainable practices, and self-compassion on the road to a healthier you. Let’s celebrate the beauty of feeling good from within and support each other in embracing wellness in its holistic sense.
We have to be honest here and admit that our latest read ‘The Mind-Gut Connection’ by Emeran Mayer was a challenging book …
