Discover the 'greatest health biohack you will ever learn', with metabolism expert Ben Azadi

MIND OVER metabolism?

Our thoughts have a direct influence on our health and longevity. Psychiatrists estimate that the average person has 60,000 thoughts every day. They also determined that 90% of those thoughts are the same thoughts from the day before, and 85% of those thoughts are negative. Motivational speaker and author Zig Ziglar called this ‘stinkin’ thinkin’”. I believe if your thinkin’ is stinkin’, your health is shrinking! In the book Biology of Belief, cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton made the case that thoughts are a frequency, and this frequency has the ability to penetrate your cell membrane and communicate with your DNA nucleus. If the thought is negative, the protein produced by your DNA is inflammatory. This shortens your telomeres and damages your DNA, leading to a shortened lifespan. If the thought is positive, the communication signal sent to your DNA produces anti-inflammatory proteins, which lengthen your telomeres and protect your DNA, extending your lifespan.

If you have 60,000 thoughts per day, then you have 60,000 opportunities to place your entire body in a healing state, every single day. This is the greatest health biohack you will ever learn.

OTHER PEOPLE'S STRESS...isn't yours to carry

Whether you're at home or work, visiting with friends or catching up with family, the start of the year can stir up old emotions and leave us feeling a little off-kilter. Because New Year's stress doesn't just come from the dark, the weather or even the lack of cash - it's also from the people around us.

HARMONY at home

We spend weeks preparing our homes for Christmas...but does anyone prepare for when it's over?

MOVING FROM GUILT TO GRACE

How many times a day do you hear yourself saying sorry? ‘Sorry, could I just…?’ ‘Sorry, I can’t make it tonight.’ ‘Sorry, I’m not free.’ We apologise for taking up space, for saying no, for changing our minds, even for wanting something different. Sometimes it just slips out before you’ve even had time to check if it belongs there.
