Physical activity is one of the cornerstones of good health. However, incorporating movement into your daily life doesn't always mean starting a structured training plan or going to the gym. For many people, the main challenge lies in counteracting increasingly sedentary lifestyles and finding simple, sustainable ways to move more…
Sleep is one of the fundamental pillars of a healthy and balanced life. During nocturnal rest, the body activates essential processes of recovery, cellular repair, and functional reorganisation. At the same time, mental activity slows down and emotions tend to stabilise. Despite its importance, sleep is often undervalued in the context of the rhythm…
We live in a digital age where children come into contact with tablets, mobile phones and televisions from a very early age. While technology can have educational benefits when used correctly, excessive screen time can interfere with brain, emotional and social development. In this article, we explore what neuroscience tells us about this topic and…
Physical exercise is not just a mechanical stimulus on the muscle. It is an integrated biological stressor, with simultaneous impact on the metabolic, endocrine, nervous, and immune systems. The response to exercise depends on intensity, duration and the organism's internal context, and this context, in the female body, varies cyclically. Ignoring the menstrual cycle is...
Cranio-Visceral Osteopathy combines two complementary approaches: Cranial Osteopathy and Visceral Osteopathy, with the aim of improving communication between the central nervous system and the internal organs, promoting functional balance in the body. Cranial Osteopathy focuses on the manipulation of cranial structures and the central nervous system, while Visceral Osteopathy acts...
The human body works according to an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm. This system plays a part in organising multiple biological functions, such as sleep, appetite, body temperature, hormone production, energy levels and mood. This rhythm is naturally synchronised with the cycle of light and darkness, i.e. with...
Physical exercise, when framed appropriately for the individual context, is recognised as a relevant physiological stimulus with an impact on multiple systems in the body. Scientific research has explored the relationship between movement, metabolism and the immune system, suggesting that regular physical activity can influence adaptive processes associated with homeostasis, inflammation...
Melatonin is a central hormone in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle and plays an important role in the overall physiological balance. It is associated with the organisation of the circadian rhythm, the quality of sleep and various adaptive processes in the body. Although it is commonly known as the “sleep hormone”, its regulation depends to a large extent on...
Feeling more constipated during periods of stress or anxiety is a common experience, but it's not just a coincidence. Chronic stress can have a profound impact on the functioning of the digestive system and is often one of the main causes of constipation. In this article, we'll explore how stress...
Sleeping well is fundamental, but not always enough to guarantee consistent levels of energy, mental clarity and well-being. Many people report persistent tiredness even after an apparently restorative night's sleep. In these cases, the origin of the fatigue may not lie exclusively in sleep, but also in the absence or insufficient integration of other forms of rest...
