Stress management

Stress is a feeling of being too much under emotional or physical pressure.
Pressure turns into stress when you feel unable to cope. It can occur in specific situation or even over a period of time. Stress is inevitable. We all experience it. Our stressors are different, as are our techniques for dealing with it. Most people deal with stress without thinking of it. They may talk a problem out or go for a jog.

Stress is a part of life and can be a component of our success. If you are too complacent about a situation, it may never  drive you to change it. However, most can be detrimental to your health and quality of life.
" Stress is very often a root of many people's problems, whether they recognize it or not," according to Paul Chek.

If you look at the Figure below, you can see how stress can lead to not just a problem in one organ, but how it can manifest itself through the entire body.

Relaxation technique for stress management

> Lie down on your back with your legs slightly apart and your arm a few centimeters away from your body.
> Softly close your eyes.
> Focus your attention on your breathing.
> Take several deep breaths, calming your body with each breath.
> Breathe in deeply and then let your breath out fully, exhaling until you cannot exhale any more.
> Count your breaths and say the number of the breath mentally as you let it out ( this helps you stay in the moment)
> Perform this breathing technique until you feel calm and relaxed

Herbalife Nutrition

How I got involved with Herbalife Nutrition

I was introduced by a friend and a colleague who is also a certified Personal Trainer. Amy Da Silva became a herbalife nutrition member to help her clients with nutrition after realizing that exercise alone is not enough for clients who want to lose weight and transform their bodies.

At the time when she introduced me I was using other nutrition programs. Nutrition programs that are South African and convenient.

What caught my attention is how the company started and operates.
 Herbalife was started by Mark Hughes who lost his mother at the age of 18 from diet pills. He started the company to assist people with safe nutritional programmes to help them avoid taking the unsafe route that his mother had taken.

When I started drinking herbalife formula1 shake my stomach felt better compared to when I was using other shakes. I am never bloated anymore and feel great overall

                       

Herbalife is all about quality.It started a year before I was born ( 1980) and they are one of the biggest nutrition companies in the world. They control the ingredients from where they are farmed, packaging  and transportation of the products from California to over 90 countries in the world.

I don't just feel great from using Herbalife nutritional products but I also get to live my purposewhich is to help people with nutrition, health, fitness and better quality of life. I am experiencing better results with clients and my personal health and fitness since I have incorporated Herbalife Nutrition to my Yoga and fitness programs.
