At Whole Family we believe in a holistic approach to a healthy body. What you put in your body is as important as what you put on your body, what you do with your body and how you feel about your body. We want you to fall in love with taking care of your body. If you listen to your body when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream. Check out our 10 rules of a healthy body.
Food: What you put IN your body
We believe in eating whole real food. We believe food is medicine. As much as processed food can cause havoc in you body, can whole real food heal and nourish your body and mind.
Activity: What you DO with your body
We believe that exercise is a critical part of holistic healthy living. By exercise we don’t mean hitting the weights at the gym 5 times a week or training for an ultra-marathon. We mean, get active. Move your body in a way that is enjoyable to you. Find something you love. Something that makes you feel alive. Whether you enjoy yoga, dancing, walking the dog, playing with your children or something more intense like cross-fit or trail running.
Skin care: What you put ON your body
We believe that true beauty is all about respect and love for yourself and your planet. What we put on our bodies is as important as what we eat. We believe the relationship between beauty and body is an all natural affair. Organic, natural ingredients intelligently honour the natural balance of our bodies.
Although most people don’t realize it, their favorite skin care products can be significant contributors of harmful ingredients, toxins and chemicals. Some call it “the real price of beauty.” Companies are allowed to use certain harmful ingredients and make their own judgments about safety. Fact is, the majority of store-bought, commercially-produced beauty products come packed with artificial colors, fragrances, preservatives and stabilizers that can easily be absorbed through the skin’s pores, potentially causing a range of negative long-term health effects.
Chemicals found in beauty products can be damaging throughout their entire life cycle, from the way they are produced and used by consumers, to the methods of their disposal and their negative impact on the environment.
So what does this mean for your beauty routine? The good news is that there’s plenty of natural and chemical free products out there. Check out our top natural skin care tips.
Love: How you FEEL about your body
Self love and gratitude are crucial to a healthy body. Take care, nourish, embrace and love your body, its the most amazing thing you will ever own.
