Introduction
We all go through periods when we don’t feel our best – tired, lacking in energy, and prone to the little aches and pains of everyday life. But how can we tell if our body needs some extra care?
In this article, I propose a little quiz to assess your natural well-being, as well as practical advice inspired by Japanese wisdom.
🔍 What is the natural balance of the body?
Our body has a remarkable natural defence system that works 24/7 to maintain our balance. This system is influenced by many daily factors:
- 🥗 The quality of our diet
- 😴 The quantity and quality of our sleep
- 🏃 Our level of physical activity
- 🧘 Our stress management
- 🌿 Our living environment
When these factors are unbalanced, our body can send us signals. Let's learn to recognise them!
📋 Mini-quiz: How is your natural well-being?
Answer these questions honestly with Yes or No:
Sleep and rest:
- 😴 Do you wake up tired in the morning, even after a full night?
- 🌙 Do you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep?
Energy and vitality:
3. ⚡ Do you often feel low on energy in the middle of the day?
4. 🏃 Do you do less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day?
Diet:
5. 🥦 Do you eat less than 4 portions of fruits and vegetables a day?
6. 🍔 Do you regularly consume ultra-processed foods or fast food?
Stress and emotional balance:
7. 😰 Do you often feel tense or anxious?
8. 🧘 Do you not have a regular relaxation practice (walking, meditation, yoga)?
General lifestyle:
9. ☕ Do you drink less than 1.5 litres of water a day?
10. 📱 Do you spend more than 2 hours a day on screens before sleeping?
📊 Results:
🟢 0-3 "Yes" – Your wellness routine is well established! Keep it up and maintain your good habits.
🟡 4-6 "Yes" – Your body deserves some adjustments. A few small changes in your daily routine could make a big difference.
🔴 7-10 "Yes" – It’s time to take care of yourself! Your body is sending you important signals. Start with small regular changes and consult your doctor if necessary.
✨ The signals our body can send us
Here are the most common signs our body sends us when it needs attention:
- 😴 Persistent fatigue and drowsiness
- 🤧 Increased sensitivity to minor seasonal ailments
- 🤢 Digestive discomfort and lack of appetite
- 🌡️ Slow recovery after a period of fatigue
- 💆 Skin, hair or nails in poorer condition
- 😔 Less stable mood, irritability
If you persistently feel several of these signals, always consult your doctor.
🌿 What to do to regain your natural balance?
Our natural well-being reflects our lifestyle. The good news? We can take action! Here are the fundamental pillars:
🥗 A balanced and varied diet
Provide your body with all the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins it needs. Take inspiration from the Japanese diet – varied, colourful, rich in fermented foods.
🏃 Regular physical activity
30 minutes of walking a day is enough to make a difference. Consistency is more important than intensity.
😴 Quality sleep
7-9 hours per night in a calm and cool environment. Stick to regular schedules even on weekends.
🧘 Effective stress management
Meditation, Shinrin-yoku (Japanese forest bathing), creative activities – find your daily anti-stress practice.
💧 Sufficient hydration
At least 1.5 litres of water per day. Start each morning with a large glass of fresh water.
