Spring is - finally - around the corner, and it is the right time to start cutting short the bad life and eating habits. Particularly during this time of the year, affected by the change of seasons and temperature is prone to various health challenges. Our modern life is rarely taking a healthy break and trying to get things done makes us often deaf to the urgent calls of our body to hear its needs.
Dr. med. Anne Fleck is close through her professional and family ties to the Kneipp movement, a German-bread health philosophy encouraging, among others a return to the rhythms of the nature and a balance between body movement, eating and finding the right work/life balance. Her book Energy! in 5 Minutes that I had access to in audiobook format offers tons of ideas and tips, including through self-assessment questionaries, aimed at taking the chronic tiredness at a different, self-care-oriented level.
Although I am on the skeptical side when it comes to the homeopathic/plants-oriented, anti-medicine of some medical schools of thought in Germany, I think that listening to your body and trying to understand - through the right medical consultation - what your body - and mind - needs, is important. As it is equally important to have the knowledge for making the right choices in terms of food and healthy life habits.
The book - as for now, only available in German - teaches the reader to identify, with the dedication of a detective, those factors that may affect one´s degree of energy - like dirt in the apartment or lack of sleep, but also how to prevent an chronical sickness to take over your body. As everything when it comes to the German mentality, prevention is key.
A recommended read to anyone looking to catch up some healthy habits and offer a well-deserved spring body to his or hed body.
