Being Healthy Is More Than Just A Trend
Many people see sports and proper nutrition as a way to be in shape, have a good-built body, and loose a few kilos. And yes, physical changes come as a nice bonus, but it’s the key point. In fact, at first place, such lifestyle is an investment in your health and overall wellbeing. To achieve true wellness, we must have respect for the body that carries us through every version of our life. To get deeper, we sat down with Noëmi Louisa, a certified pilates instructor, who lives and breathes movement. She says: “Being healthy isn’t about being perfect. It’s about building a lifestyle that supports your mind and body in the long run”. Here’s an in-depth look at aspects we should care about to feel more balanced, confident, connected to yourself and stronger.
It Starts with Movement You Love
Love is a thing you can never force; it always comes naturally to you. To have results you need to enjoy the process. Working out should never be a form of self-criticism, it should be an act of self-care.
I’ve tried intense workouts, fast-paced challenges, and everything in between. What stuck with me? Movement that feels good. For me, that’s Pilates. Gentle but powerful, mindful but effective. But for you, it might be dancing, walking, lifting, or swimming. The point is: just move. Not to punish your body, but to honor it.
Healthy Eating Is a Non-Negotiable
They say that your health begins in your gut. Everything you eat makes a small but a change to your body and even brain. So, eating healthy is a core part of any wellness journey. I know that staying on diet looks like a trend nowadays. Thousands of pages on social media tell you what to eat to stay fit, or not to swell, or get a glowing skin… Who to listen? Who to believe?
You don’t have to cut all the sweets and carbons. It’s not a healthy approach to your body. You should try to reduce them in your nutrition. Eating healthy should be empowering, not restrictive or boring, because when you fuel your body with intention, everything shifts: your energy, your focus, your workouts, and, of course, your looks.
This article is not a list of products that matter, so what I can tell you – focus on high-protein, high-fiber and unprocessed options. These are going to give you the energy and you will feel, perform, and recover much better.
Balance Over Burnout
Health isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too. You will not go far with a heavy weight of stress and anxiety on your shoulder. If your body is tired, rest and if your mind is overwhelmed, unplug. Wellness also can look like setting boundaries, journaling, breathing deeply, and choosing habits that support your mental peace. You don’t need to be in a constant state of hustle to be “doing it right.” You’re allowed to rest, take breaks, and still be committed to your goals.
Your Journey, Your Rules
Don’t forget that you’re the captain. You live your own life. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health. What works for me might not work for you, and that’s okay. The most important thing is to find a routine that feels realistic, enjoyable, and sustainable. You don’t have to change up your life overnight. Start small. Stay consistent. And most importantly be patient with yourself.
“You don’t need to earn your health. You already deserve it. So, move your body, fuel it with love, breathe deeply, and build a life that supports your glow, inside and out.
Love, Noëmi”
