You are unique!

Have you ever tried a diet or supplement that a friend has recommended to you and swear by it but found that it didn’t work for you? Have ever wondered why that is?

These days there is a lot of information regarding what we need to do for our health and wellbeing and a lot of the information is contradicting. Some people say that you need to eat a high protein/low carb diet, some people will tell you that the keto diet is the best or the paleo diet or that you should try intermittent fasting, then there are people claiming that vegetarian and/or vegan diets are the best. The activists for each particular piece of information you are told, have probably tried what they are promoting and it worked for them, which is amazing but if you doesn’t work for you then don’t feel disheartened. We need to be aware and remember that all of the different diets and supplements and information available are amazing for some people but not for all people.

I strongly believe that there is no one size fits all approach to our health. If we look at the functioning of a human body, it is essentially the same for everyone, we all have the same organs and bodily functions but we are also all very unique. We are all made up of different DNA, we have different blood types and we all have different subconscious belief systems. We were all raised differently and taught differently and we each bring something completely unique into the world.

When you want to work out how to live your life at your optimal health or when you have specific goals in mind, you need to remember that you are unique and what worked for someone else, may not work for you. Be discerning of the information you are told and fad diets and advice because you may need something completely different than someone else. I often hear people saying that they have tried so hard to improve certain aspects of their health and it just isn’t working. That’s when I remind them of their uniqueness. Imagine how boring the world would be, if we were all exactly the same. There would only need to be one type of diet and it would work for everyone, there would not be any illness because we would all be the same but if there was illness, we would all need the exact type of medicines but that is not reality. We are all different, even when two people have the same illness, one person could be allergic to the medicine that the other person uses. There are countless examples of how different we all are and how we all need a very different approach to our health as a whole, this includes not only physical health but also emotional and mental health.

So next time, you hear something that worked for someone, be happy for them and don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t work for you. That gives you the power to realise how amazing you are in your own unique way. There is always a solution to every problem, maybe you just haven’t discovered what works for you yet.
