<p>Let me begin by sharing what I do for a living, I am a nurse by profession. Nursing is an admirable vocation, being a nurse made me appreciate life better. I love the part of my job where I get to have an impact on someone’s life at the time they needed it the most.</p>
<p>However, like any other job it comes with challenges, part of it is to be constantly exposed to stress. Every day you are surrounded by people with different illness, you are challenged to make that right critical decision, you are expected to be compassionate and understanding, you race time to finish everything and at the end of your shift, you go home feeling drained and exhausted. A similar scenario may be true to all of you working for a living. Today, <em>stress </em>is society’s common denominator. It is a proven fact that stress is a huge factor for developing a disease and/or aggravate its symptoms.</p>
<h5><em>Some of which are:</em></h5>
<ul>
<li>Heart diseases</li>
<li>Gastrointestinal problems</li>
<li>Obesity</li>
<li>Depression</li>
<li>Anxiety</li>
<li>Alzheimer’s Disease</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li><g class="gr_ gr_162 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="162" data-gr-id="162">Headache</g> and Migraine</li>
<li>Muscle Pain</li>
</ul>
<p>The list goes on…</p>
<p>Also, scientific studies have proven that stress can accelerate the aging process, as explained <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-athletes-way/201404/emotional-distress-can-speed-cellular-aging" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> in the article on how stress can speed up cellular aging.</p>
<p>With the nature of my job being exposed to people with different health issues, I see all the time the difficulties faced when you are not at your optimum level of health. I feel so strongly about health awareness and disease prevention because I really and truly believe that we can do so much to prevent if not lower the risk of developing a disease.</p>
<p>Among the many things we can stop from developing further, is <em>stress</em>, even I have my fair share of this, being a nurse is not an exception, in fact, the irony is that healthcare professionals take care of the sick but often forget to take care of themselves. That being said, due to shifts at work I started having issues with sleep patterns which ultimately contributed to headaches and really bad migraines. Until I discovered the power of yoga and meditation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Yoga and Meditation</h4>
<p>I personally consider these two exercises as the best you can give to your body and well being as a whole. When I started my practice it has helped me tremendously, the ability to get in tune with your mind and body allows you to connect to your inner self which brings out a higher sense of wellbeing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From practicing Yoga for a while, I begin to question how my life has been and started to wonder if this really is what I want? Is this how I want to live my life?</p>
<p>I find it so ironic and sad that we have reached to such advancement in healthcare yet more and more people are getting ill from lifestyle-related diseases. I felt that if I want to continue being a healthcare professional I needed to be able to do better. I was not happy seeing people taking multiple medications for something that you can easily prevent like diabetes and blood pressure medication.</p>
<p>There must be some other ways I can do to have some more impact on health prevention.</p>
<p>so I searched... I've come to realize that there is one thing that is a huge factor if not the cause for almost all disease. And that is NUTRITION. What we eat and how we eat them.</p>
<p>It was an eye-opener when I stumbled upon <a href="https://www.kahlmah.com/what-is-ayurveda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ayurveda</a>. It put my knowledge as a nurse into shame. But I was excited! This, at last, is that better way I have been looking for.</p>
<p>I joined the Ayurvedic Institute in London and studied to become an Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Nutrition Consultant.</p>
<p>This was the best decision I have made in my life so far.</p>
<p>And now, I intend to grow my knowledge and practice in <a href="https://www.kahlmah.com/what-is-ayurveda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ayurveda</a> and show to people that we can do better!</p>
<p>Prevention is better than cure. “<em>Health is our Responsibility” </em>and I strongly believe that we can always do something about it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>A little bit more about me…</h4>
<h4></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">In my years, I have always been mindful about my health, even at an earlier age (not that I’m so old… I’m only 30 at the time of writing at least) I was conscious of being fit mainly because I wanted to be able to do as many outdoor activities as I could. I enjoy them, which is lucky for me, but I understand that others may not find a 3-hour walk up a mountain enjoyable. But I don’t like to limit my choices for a healthier lifestyle to diets, supplements and gym membership because there are a lot more you can do than just that!</span></p>
<p>I am a fan of hiking and trekking mountains. I just love the outdoors. I also love traveling and learning cultures.<span style="font-size: 20px;"></span></p>
<p>I now live in the United Kingdom but I am originally from the Philippines. For those of you reading this who have not been to the Philippines, you should go! It's beautiful. My home province of Bohol for one is a must go place. If you want to know more about Bohol go to contacts and drop me an email I'll get back to you with more info.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>Blogging</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In today’s age internet has made everything possible, I have been hooked into reading blogs recently and I’ve always wanted to have a voice to promote health and wellness, so I decided to start a blog of my own because I see this as a great platform for that voice.</p>
<p>This also gives me the flexibility I need to do the many things I want to do.</p>
<p>In this blog, I focus on the things we can do <em>to promote a healthy lifestyle</em> and educate people about Nutrition. With <a href="https://www.kahlmah.com/what-is-ayurveda/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ayurveda</a>, I am excited where this blog can go.</p>
