I’m sure you’ve all noticed that there’s a trend right now called ‘stealth wealth’. It’s the ultimate display of cleaning eating and healthy living. Most people these days have personal trainers (funnily PT also stands for public tansport, another eco-friendly/healthy way of living), juicers, nutritionists, paleo cook books and a pantry stocked to the brim with chia seeds and almonds. Thanks to social media, there’s no better time than now to show off a balanced lifestyle, enviable physique, fitness regime and that big bowl of kale salad. Health food businesses, fitness organisations and wellness companies are joining hands to encourage and inspire individuals worldwide to ‘eat clean and be lean’. After all, doesn’t our health deserve the best care and investment?

If you’re like me, you may be wondering which diet you should adapt. Should I go raw, vegan, vegetarian or paleo? With so many recommendations out there, some of which are conflicting and confusing, it’s pretty difficult to chose. Thanks to hundreds of health and fitness podcasts I’ve been listening to lately, I found some good advice: the best diet is the one that suits you.

So many factors come into play when it comes to choosing diets. We all differ in lifestyle, budget, time availability, work schedule, metabolism, goal and even the bacterial flora of our gut! So it’s not about which diet is best, it’s which one is best for you. At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with going natural, local and organic. Water is ultimately the best beverage, and we should consume everything in moderation. Exercise should be a way of life, and don’t forget the other important health factor upon which everything else is built: sleep.

If you’re having trouble sleeping properly at home, you can always hit the snooze and rest button at the Park Hyatt Melbourne!
