BH: What three things are dragging us
away from good health?

SC: Number one is our addiction to our digital devices.
The more connected we are to our devices, the more
disconnected we are to ourselves. Fundamentally, good
health starts with being connected to your own body.
Your body communicates with you every single day.
When there’s bloating, your body is telling you some-
thing. When your skin is itchy, your body is telling you
something. When you’re not as sharp and your memory
isn’t what it used to be, your body is telling you some-
thing. But we’re not paying attention because we’re too
plugged in. We have our devices with us all day, from

our morning bathroom call to our dinner table.
Number two is our food. Our food is so different today
than it was 100 years ago. Researchers have sampled
soil from 100 years ago and compared it to today’s soil
and it’s completely different in terms of nutritional and
mineral value because of pesticides, herbicides and pol-
lution. As a result, our food has changed. Also, a lot of
people are overeating, consuming the wrong things or
not paying attention to nutritional value. We’re trained
to eat what tastes good, not what does good, and there’s
a big difference.
Number three is a combination of our stressful, mod-
ern, chemical lifestyle. Everything is artificial. Our
bodies aren’t designed to meet today’s demands, and
we’re not honouring the simple things we need, such as

It ’s not rocket science, this business of wellness.
In fact, all you need is 15 MINUTES A DAY
and you’ll be well on your way. Best Health caught up with
naturopathic doctor Sara Celik for her top tips on
how to maximize those DAILY MOMENTS

FOR A HEALTHIER 2018.
