Who has a Body Like You?
Take life at your own pace
It can be hard for a Diplomat these days though, the world keeps rushing by getting faster and smaller and can sometimes cause stress for you who loves to go at your own pace, have time to take it all in, and carefully ponder over decisions before you make them.
Your body is naturally built for slower mornings, so you can plan and organise your day and then get really productive when lunchtime comes around but that isn’t always how the rest of society wants to work, so it’s important to know what suits you best - and then you can really optimise your potential.
If you ever feel like you’re not getting the most out of every day, or if you’re feeling stuck or just missing ‘something’... the good news is that finding complete satisfaction is simple and can be almost effortless when you know what’s right for you.

Nourishing your body is important
You shouldn't need to deprive yourself of great tasting foods. Portion control can be a thing of the past when you choose the foods that your body actually wants. For you, a nourishing food lifestyle might look like:
- Breakfast might be the most important time of the day for some people, but not for you because of the conserving nature of your body! Mornings are when your body is still getting ready for the day. Skip breakfast if you like and start with brunch or a good, satisfying lunch.
- When you are not eating what is best for your body, (like eating large portions of fatty meat, heavily-sugared snacks, and few vitamin rich vegetables) you can feel lethargic, moody, and become irritable. This, in turn, may exacerbate a depressed mood and tempt you into sedentary laziness.
- You are frequently motivated by pleasure rather than the necessity to follow a strict regime of healthy food choices. Family functions and holiday parties likely tempt you away from nourishing choices.
You can enjoy a nourishing food lifestyle when you know what is right for your body. Use a precision health and nutrition app like ph360's Shae to support you to make great choices.
