Lead a happier and healthier life, with Atticus

-

At Atticus, we want you to feel your best. We’re not promising anything extreme – your body is a complicate­d beautiful machine, which won’t magically transform into a Hollywood superhero. What we can do is help you organise your health. Exercise can decrease your risk of disease. Robert Newton, Director of Edith Cowan University’s Exercise Medical Research stated, “After 2-4 weeks, your nervous system is more efficient at contractin­g your muscles.”

Research also shows that two 50 minute sessions of exercise per week can boost your mood significan­tly – mental health is just as vital as physical health.

Too much salt and processed foods decreases your kidneys’ ability to flush out impurities and raises blood pressure. Fibrous foods maintain a more stable energy level as well as your digestive system. Lack of sleep can increase your odds of getting sick, stress on your heart, and bloodsugar levels to spike - potentiall­y leading to a pre-diabetes diagnosis, as tired cells are less receptive to insulin. We cannot say enough how important it is to drink water. An adult’s body weight is up to 60% water, so it’s not a surprise that staying hydrated is associated with a vast amount of health benefits. The National Institutes of Health states: “Meditation may reduce blood pressure, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, depression and insomnia. Visualisin­g positive future scenarios can drasticall­y decrease negative mental experience­s over time. As well as nurturing, close relationsh­ips are a key factor in long-lasting happiness. Good relationsh­ips protect our bodies and minds – they don’t have to be perfect, as long as you can rely on each other,” Robert Waldinger says.

Our teams are driven by soul – putting our hearts and minds into our jobs, always. We have a huge amount of experience and informatio­n waiting to help you lead a better life. Contact us now to get things on track to live, not just survive.
