It’s time to elevate your mind and body for International Mind-Body Wellness Day!

Mind-body wellness is a holistic approach to health that recognizes the connections between your mind and body and the impact your thoughts and emotions have on your physical health. It is a way of acknowledging that your mind and body are not separate entities but are closely interconnected and influence one another.

International Mind-Body Wellness Day is a global celebration of the connection between the mind and body and the importance of maintaining overall wellness. It is a day to focus on improving your physical, mental, and emotional health and recognizing your thoughts and emotions’ role in your overall well-being.

Today marks an opportunity to take back control of your well-being by using it as an excuse to focus on finding balance in your life’s physical and mental aspects. So break out your yoga mat, get ready for some relaxation, and let’s get centered through mindful wellness habits accompanied by self-care.

Practicing Mind-Body Wellness

There are many different ways to practice mind-body wellness, and what works for one person may not work for another. Some common practices include meditation, yoga, tai chi, exercise, journaling, talk therapy, and other forms of self-care.

There are plenty of ways for you to celebrate, cooking a healthy meal, unwinding with some meditation and yoga, or taking an inspiring hike on your favorite trail. Whatever brings you joy and a sense of peace should be celebrated.

One of the key principles of mind-body wellness is the concept of mindfulness or the practice of being present in the moment and paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindfulness can help you to become more aware of your body and your thoughts and emotions and to learn how to manage them in a healthy way.

Another important aspect of mind-body wellness is taking care of your physical body. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. It also includes taking care of your physical health by seeing a doctor regularly, getting regular check-ups, and taking any necessary supplements and medications.

In addition to taking care of your physical body, it is also important to take care of your mental and emotional health. This can involve practicing self-care activities such as journaling, spending time with loved ones, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. It can also include seeking the help of a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, if you’re struggling with mental health.

• Engaging in an uplifting physical activity by going for a hike, walk, run, or bike ride.

• Focusing on self-care by doing something that brings you joy, such as taking a long bath, reading your favorite book, or spending time with someone you love.

Tools That Promote Mind-Body Wellness

There’s no better way to commemorate International Mind-Body Wellness Day than by utilizing nature’s most powerful gifts – turmeric and functional mushrooms. These superfoods can help boost your overall health and well-being in more ways than you may expect.

Some benefits of using these natural wonders include aiding digestion, immune system cell support, increased mental energy, and stress relief. There is so much good that these gifts from the earth can provide. The benefits are almost too numerous to count.

Turmeric

Turmeric is particularly helpful in supporting your joint health and helping increase your mobility. Turmeric contains a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called curcumin, which has been shown to reduce inflammation in your body. Inflammation is a common contributor to joint pain, discomfort, and stiffness. 

The easiest way to incorporate significant doses of curcumin into your life is by taking a high-dose curcumin supplement like Dynamic Turmericfrom Stonehenge Health®. With 1,650mg of Turmeric Curcumin Complex and 15mg of BioPerine® for increased absorption, Dynamic Turmeric is one of the most potent curcumin supplements available today.  

Mushrooms

Did you know that the world’s oldest health traditions use mushrooms as a medicine? From Egyptians, Greeks, Vikings, and Chinese medicinal herbalists to Ayurvedic practitioners in India, cultures around the globe have been harnessing mushrooms’ generous benefits for centuries. 

The most powerful mushrooms are called functional mushrooms because they impart therapeutic benefits beyond the nutrition they provide. Today, more and more people are exploring functional mushrooms and how they support your overall well-being – mind, body, and spirit.

The potential benefits of functional mushrooms are vast, from boosting natural energy and enhancing cognitive function to calming jittery nerves. These benefits make them an ideal choice for those seeking an alternative to energy drinks and coffee.

Additionally, functional mushrooms are adaptogenic, which may help reduce stress levels by calming your body and mind.

While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer regarding natural energy and stress relief, incorporating Dynamic Mushrooms™ into your daily routine could provide the balance your body and mind need so you can return to your happy place.

Stonehenge Health® Dynamic Mushroomsare made from highly concentrated fruiting body extracts of only lion’s mane, chaga, shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms.

We use only the mushroom fruiting bodies, which are the actual mushrooms, not the mycelium roots used by many other mushroom supplements. Fruiting bodies are “full spectrum” as they provide a wider array of the mushroom’s therapeutic power.

International Mind-Body Wellness Day isn’t just about diet and exercise – although those are important – but also finding ways to reduce your stress and achieve a sense of calm and balance in your life. Blends like Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Turmeric and Dynamic Mushrooms can be helpful tools on this journey.
