Health Coach Tip – The Benefits of Creativity

Health Coach Tips

When was the last time you felt creative or did something that allowed you to freely express your creativity? If you don’t yet know about the relationship between creativity and health, then this article is for you! It turns out that embracing your inner artist offers up many health benefits. Let’s dig in:

Creativity is a stress-buster

In our fast-paced world, chronic stress is an unwelcome guest in our lives – and unfortunately, one that is all-to-common. By engaging in creative activities, you can unwind and find solace in the present moment.

Creativity energizes your brain!

Just as physical exercise promotes a healthy body, exercising your creativity promotes a healthy mind. So much so, that when you dive into creative endeavors, you stimulate neural connections and give your brain a healing workout. So, flex those creative muscles and give your mind a boost, in a fun way!

Creativity helps with emotional expression

Express your emotions better by exercising your creativity muscle – whether that be by painting and dancing, or playing an instrument. Creativity has a way of helping you unlock your emotions, and express and process feelings that may have otherwise been suppressed.

Creativity will make you a better problem-solver

The two go hand in hand. Tapping into your creativity regularly, may help you inspire yourself to think outside the box and approach challenges with a new perspective. A benefit that reminds us that creativity isn’t limited to the arts. It can be applied to any situation that needs an innovative solution!

Creativity will allow you to get to know yourself

Creativity sparks self-discovery. This is true no matter the medium – be it painting, writing, or crafting! You’ll explore new facets of your personality and understand yourself on a new and refreshing level.

‍

Reap the benefits of creativity – from stress relief and problem-solving to emotional expression and self-discovery! Regularly making use of your creativity promotes a healthier and happier life. So, don’t be shy, grab your sketchbook or paintbrush, and embrace your inner artist.

Perfect Pairing: Harnessing the Anti-Aging Power of Methylene Blue and Red Light Therapy

I am a big proponent of health-promoting therapies and two of the ones I’m now regularly using in my practice are red light therapy and methylene blue. The extraordinary benefits of combining the red and the blue, two modalities which, in different ways, both stimulate the powerplants inside our cells, the mitochondria, with the result that the body has more healing energy on tap. Each therapy enhances the other, creating a synergistic effect that I like to call, 1 plus 1 equals 3. Or, combine and conquer! Here are my thoughts on how to put them both to work for you.

7 Reasons Why You Need More Protein for Anti-Aging – and 6 Ways to Get Yours

Just about every day patients ask me how they can age well, or at minimum, do it better than their parents and grandparents did -- and the good news is that many of them can! As the biology of aging has evolved over the past few decades, we now know so much more about how to help our bodies age more slowly, in better health, than ever before. Granted, we’ve not quite figured out how to stop aging but there are a number of steps we can take, starting now, to get into a slower aging groove. One of the biggies is protein. While it may not seem like an obvious clock-stopper, as we age, increasing protein intake becomes especially important – and a lot of people overlook this relatively simple, longevity upgrade.
