Spring is all about awakening, which involves a literal make-over of our surroundings. Just like how trees can grow out little green buds, new habits can also bring you that glow-up that people rave about every once in a while. Having a fresh bright appearance can boost your confidence, and that is how life changes around you. The type of glow-up we are trying out today will not cost you that big chunk of money, but the result can stay with you as long as you commit to the routines.
Do I have your attention yet? If you answer yes, then I wanna let you in on a secret that your mental and physical health will benefit greatly from these habits as well. It is always nice to have some add-ons at the end of the day.
1. Everything we see shows us what is happening inside.
One way to imagine how our bodies send us signals is by thinking about our phones. If our phones’ speakers suddenly stopped working, we would not just keep using them more aggressively, or buy a better phone case to cover it. These days, there are people who understand what happens to machines more than what happens in their own bodies. The reasons can be traced back to their lack of interest in their internal world, as their internal world is nicely concealed by their skin. However, to blame everything on the person is not so fair. The world around us keeps on giving us tools to instantly fix our issues. When we have acne, we have makeup with high coverage to hide them; when our skin itches, we are given medication that subdues the itchiness; when our skin peels, we splurge on a lot of creams to smooth it out; when we are stressed out about our skin, we binge eat. The vicious circle continues with us buying something constantly.
Life is somewhat about having the best experience, of course, if it is done in a way that doesn’t get us addicted and reliant. If someone encourages you to have a lot of something, they are going to go for miles to make it available at your fingertips, make it so addictively tasty, and be massively convenient. They are trying to sell you the reliance on their supplies, and the temporal happiness will push you to come back for more. At the end of the day, we want to be in control of what we consume, not what some old rich fat corporations want us to.
2. Taking back the power of our own glow up
Mere observation of our skin does not always give us the details about what is going on with our internal organs. Nevertheless, with a little help from diet and selective knowledge about our bodies, we can slowly adjust what we consume to see long-term improvement. The general rule of thumb that you might have seen everywhere still applies: you need to eat food that gives you nutrition, including cruciferous vegetables like kale, arugula, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc. They are not the most delicious things in the world, but they can be eaten in conjunction with the food you like. This mentality can pull you away from restaurants where others flock in for a quick meal.
As we want our bodies to grow at the same time, we want to select certain foods that nourish us. There is no one size fits all advice for everyone, but it all starts with listening to our bodies. It will always communicate honestly with us, and we can use those signs to go forward to find solutions. If someone you know has high energy to be the light of the party all the time, you might benefit from learning what food they have at what time in what interval. However, there is still a chance that it will not work exactly how you imagine it for your body. Or you can also try to become that person everyone looks up to because you know your body so well. The journey can continue with you spending time with a nutritionist, or you can make use of online resources, or your local libraries to find out what can elevate your food.
There are many ways to start glowing up this season, and food is a simple but profound start. If you are interested in some more resources about diet and nutrition, there are many available on the internet. At the end of the day, we hope you take charge of your path to foster the immaculate vibe coming from within your body.
