Health for every stage of life

Published: 2023-01-09 | Author: Irmi Le Roux

From birth, through all the stages of life, our health changes and require of us to stay in tune with what our bodies are asking for.  What you needed as a teen is not what your body will ask for when you are a busy adult, and definitely not what you'll need as a senior.

Basic guidelines will always apply:

  • Eat colourful meals
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Move your body in a way that you enjoy
  • Remember to touch base with friends or family, and find a place to contribute your energy
  • Find time once a day to breathe, let go, and unwind your busy brain

How this will look will differ from person to person depending on the stage of life they find themselves in. Where are you right now?

A healthy body needs different things at different stages in our lives
