Introduction
Work-Life Balance is an ever-moving target and a goal that is often very difficult to define. People who love their jobs often project a lot of healthy energy, regardless of whether or not they follow an exercise routine or healthy eating habits. Whereas people who are dealing with career or relationship issues often never quite feel or look healthy, no matter how much healthy food and physical activity they do. The reason for this is easily explained by the concept of Tandem Foods.
What are Tandem Foods?
Tandem foods are nutrients that you need to fuel your soul, not just your stomach. Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career and a spiritual practice are all tandem foods.
Why are Tandem Foods important?
Your body, mind and soul need a wide variety of nutrients in order to stay strong and healthy. When people think of the word “nutrition” they most likely consider the healthy foods you put in your mouth to fuel your body, such as whole grains, fruits & vegetables.
But unless you find fulfillment, joy and energy from your tandem foods, then you will still not have a healthy balance no matter how many fruits & vegetables you consume.
Your mind and soul need tandem foods, just as much as your body needs vegetables.
