Did you know that when you exercise moderately intensely, you produce various substances that make you feel better?

Gloomy Times

We can hardly avoid mentioning the term 'corona'. And that is not surprising. The pandemic impacts all aspects of our society, and the subject is present in every news broadcast. It therefore does no harm to reflect once again on things that work to combat gloom.

AGAINST GLUTENESS. WHAT CAN YOU DO YOURSELF

As mentioned, it is not unusual to be a bit more stressed during this time and not always be your cheerful self. Six tips on what you can do yourself to combat gloominess.

  1. Structure in your daily life is important. Maintaining a fixed routine is especially challenging for remote workers. Get up on time. Make a cup of tea at the same time every day. Schedule that appointment with your Personal Trainer at the same time every week.

YOU HAVE ACCOUNT OF YOUR OWN HEALTHY DRUG LAB WITH WHICH YOU MAKE YOUR OWN 'FEEL-GOOD' DRUGS.

2. Pay close attention to your diet. The Food Centre's Five-Food Groups guide helps you with this. You might find the "Kies ik Gezond" app useful.
You can download this for free in the Play Store or in the App Store

3. It is better not to use alcohol and/or drugs to work on your mind. Did you know that you have your own healthy drug lab inside your body where you can produce drugs that make you feel better? Exercising actually leads to an increase in various neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, and endorphin. Endorphin is known as the fastest-acting anti-stress hormone because it can stop a stress reaction within a minute.

4. If you are in the grip of social media algorithms, there is a chance that you will keep spinning in a negative vortex of news. So try to spend less time on social media.

5. Ensure a good sleep rhythm and good sleep hygiene. Go to bed at approximately the same time every evening and wake up at approximately the same time every morning. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol 4 to 6 hours before going to sleep. You can imagine that if you exercise regularly, you will also sleep better.

6. If you have stress and worries, talk about them. Your personal trainer is also a lifestyle coach. He can help you bring structure back into your life.
