8 ESSENTIAL PHYSICAL NEEDS OF THE HUMAN BODY In light of Covid-19 and the pandemic, people are reevaluating their lifestyles and looking to make changes that are more sustainable for society and the planet. According to Eric Edmeades, founder of WildFit health coaching program, the human body has eight physical needs: 1. AIR – Without oxygen, we die. Fast, shallow breaths are indicative of a stressed, sympathetic dominant state. Deep, slow breathing fills our lungs with oxygen, calms our sympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol, the stress hormone. When faced with stressful situations, such as we find ourselves with Covid, box breathing, where you breathe in for 5 counts, hold for 5 counts, breathe out for 5 counts and then hold for 5 before breathing in again can be an indispensable technique. This helps to lower stress, make you feel calmer and more relaxed.

2. WATER – We are 60% water and require it for numerous essential functions including our immune system, brain and muscles. Thirst is a sign of dehydration so make it a habit to drink your 6-8 cups of water daily so your body doesn’t have to remind you.

3. SLEEP – is imperative to good health, and cellular repair. Switching off all digital devices 2 to 3 hours before bedtime gives your brain time to calm down.

It is also important not to eat 2 to 3 hours before sleep, either. Growth hormone which is needed to repair cells and burn fat is highest at the start of sleep and will be inhibited if we have insulin trying to lower blood sugar from a late night meal.

4. Improved QUALITY OF FOOD INTAKE – switch from a sugar burning to fat burning regime. This will entail eating less carbohydrates.

5. PHYSICAL MOVEMENT of our arms and legs form the pump action to move lymph around the body, keeping us healthy by moving waste, fluids and immune defence cells. Make a point of walking daily and keeping mobile.

6. SUNLIGHT – is needed to produce Vitamin D naturally.

Get out into the light early morning or late afternoon to make this all important hormone for good immunity.

7. NON-ENERGY NUTRIENTS – Eat seasonal food for essential fibre, vitamins, minerals and fats. Avoid junk.

8. PHYSICAL TOUCH & Community – We humans are social creatures. Covid restrictions have shown us how much we need physical contact. A hug, a handshake mean so much. If there is no-one to hug you, give yourself a hug.

Seed Cycling Your Way to Women’s Health Seed cycling is a simple way to use food as medicine to support what a woman’s body naturally does in building and balancing hormones. The seeds in question contain phytonutrients required to maintain estrogen, testosterone and progesterone in a healthy balance and are taken in accordance with the woman’s hormonal cycle: Pumpkin and Flax seeds from start of menstruation until ovulation and Sesame and Sunflower seeds from the day after ovulation until the next period starts. Women who no longer experience a cycle can follow the phases of the moon.

It is super easy to do: Simply grind 1 to 2 tablespoons of each seed raw and consume daily, either as is with a big glass of water or add to cereal, smoothies, no-cook granola bars or sprinkle over salad.

Follicular Phase Days 1 – 14 / New Moon & Waxing Moon Seeds: Pumpkin and Flaxseeds, Chia (optional) Contain: Vit E, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Lignans, Zinc, Selenium Benefits: estrogen production, increased blood flow to uterus, antioxidant protection, bind excess estrogen for elimination, prepare for corpus luteum formation after ovulation, testosterone for libido

Seed cycling in no way replaces lifestyle changes or necessary medication to treat illness but it is one way to provide the nutrients needed for a woman’s body to function optimally. It may take 2 – 4 months to see changes and may be of benefit to women with various hormonal problems: PMS, acne, PCOS, painful periods, peri-menopause and even into menopause.
