Good health is a pot of gold that we all chase (aside from actual pots of gold, of course)!
One that is a drive built into our DNA, which serves as the most basic survival mechanism for our species.
Certainly, as a collective and as we learn more about what “health” is...
And what contributes to bettering it, we have naturally become more conscious about making changes that will support this endeavour.
As long back as 1948, The World Health Organisation (WHO) described it as:
“A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Although physical and mental are usually the two branches of health found in general discussion, there are, of course many other important aspects to it – such as financial and spiritual health.
What is fascinating though is that all sides of health are intrinsically linked to each other anyway!
When you improve one, you will undoubtedly benefit the other(s)

Taking a closer look at what factors contribute to an individual’s health, diet is possibly the first thing that comes to mind.
And for a good reason – you are what you eat.
What we consume becomes the building blocks for our physical health.
Unfortunately, the availability of nutritionally barren fast foods and genetically modified produce has rendered our bodies at a loss.
Gluten intolerances are at their height...
Arguably due to the modern manufacturing process of bread that does not allow for gluten to develop properly.
Allergies are far more prevalent now, and studies suggest that our desire for perfectlyshaped, pesticide-ridden crops, not indigenous to our lands, could have a part to play.

Ideally, we should be looking to increase our intake of fresh, whole foods and decrease our intake of refined foods.
Further, mounds of evidence draw the link between a happy gut and a happy mind.
Pre-prepared, processed foods, and even the over-use of antibiotics, have been proven to affect our gut biomes severely and deplete the amount of good bacteria swimming around in our systems.
By correcting our diets, though, which includes taking in clean drinking water, our bodies are given the fuel to function optimally.
The effects of a good diet are far-reaching upon our health, from making your mind more productive to boosting your immunity to using specific herbs/spices to heal ailments – diet really can be a game-changer.
