Reconnection with food and yourself

Do you feel your energy levels have reduced even further since the latest lockdown?  It could be that life feels like a huge balancing act - juggling work, home schooling and multiple relationships.  Or life may seem like one long Groundhog Day - with just you and your computer for company each day.  

Did you know that your brain consumes around 25% of your body’s energy?  Working harder and perhaps longer hours from home means it’s even more important to get the nutrients your body needs. But exactly what are the right combinations of nutrients to give you both natural energy and medicine?

The importance of a healthy immune system has been at the front of many people’s thoughts because of the pandemic.  Coupled with a total change in lifestyle due to lockdowns, our relationship with food has changed; some for the better as people have more time; but many taking short cuts affecting their health negatively.  

For staff working in internationalisation, we have often been exposed to different cuisines when traveling, eating because it is a sociable activity and even finding that food touches our souls and spirits when immersed in an atmospheric location.  All of this has been put on hold and it’s easy to see why food can lose its appeal or food becomes a source of comfort.

Here at The IC Global Partnership, we can help you to reconnect with food in a positive and healthy way.  Our practical Reconnection with Food and Yourself workshop will help you to:

? Become more aware of the role of nutrients for physical, mental and emotional health

? Understand the mechanisms of diseases and how to prevent them

? Increase energy and vitality levels

? Explore the Wheel of Nutrition with general tips to improve each area

? Complete and reflect on your 3-day Diet, Nutrition and Lifestyle Journal 

? Walk away with your SMART Goals and Action Plan to implement any new habits towards nutrition and general health improvements

If there is one thing that you can do for yourself, it is to bring yourself to this workshop! We would love to have you with us - to share, learn and reflect together.
