Have you been diagnosed with long-term health challenges and are curious to see what impact changing your lifestyle can have on the disease?
Understanding Lifestyle Choices
Lifestyle Changes
Growing number of diseases that are being linked to our lifestyle choices. According to the world health organisation, diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease are collectively responsible for 74% of all deaths worldwide. It is acknowledged that lifestyle plays a key role in contributing to these diseases. So what’s stopping us all? Making these changes to your lifestyle is complicated.
Just being given information is not enough for us to adopt those healthy lifestyles we all coset long term. The information is often generic and does not take into account the variety of complicated factors that all affect our decisions on how we live our lives. Making lifestyle changes that are both appropriate and sustainable is challenging. Making sense of the advice on what you should or shouldn’t be doing is again, challenging.
The Role of a Health Coach
Supporting You
This is where health coaching can help a motivator, a supporter, a collaborator, an educator, and a facilitator.
To a successful and effective health coach the notion of health is much more than the mere absence of disease It is something that embodies the mind, body, and the spirit and encompasses all aspects of a person’s life. The health coach understands that every aspect of our life affects and impacts every other part.
