In the bustling cities and tranquil towns of Italy, several beloved traditions go beyond mere enjoyment to foster deep connections and enhance overall wellbeing. Growing up Italian, I have cherished these rituals from a young age, seeing how they shape our daily lives and strengthen our bonds with others. From the beloved aperitivo to the leisurely passeggiata, Italy’s way of life places great importance on community, mindfulness, and a balanced diet. These traditions are more than just habits; they’re a deep-rooted part of our culture, handed down through generations, and they reflect a profound appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.

Whether it’s gathering with friends and family for a refreshing drink before dinner or taking a gentle evening stroll through the piazza, these Italian wellness practices are filled with a sense of purpose and joy that truly captures the essence of Italian living. As I get ready to head back to Italy for the summer, I wanted to share some of these cherished rituals with you. I hope to convey the warmth and magic these traditions bring to our lives, and perhaps inspire you to experience the same sense of community and wellbeing that is so central to the Italian lifestyle.

The Aperitivo: A Tradition of Connection and Relaxation

Let’s start with my favourite, the Aperitivo. This is a cherished moment typically observed in the early evening, originating in northern Italy but now celebrated nationwide. Typically taking place from around 6 pm to 8 pm, it provides a perfect transition from the busy workday to a more relaxed evening. Drinks vary regionally—whether it’s a classic Aperol Spritz in Venice (absolutely delicious), a Negroni in Florence, or a refreshing glass of Prosecco in Milan—but the essence remains the same: it’s about coming together to unwind and savour the moment.

Enhancing Face-to-Face Connections. In today’s hyper-connected digital age, face-to-face interactions have become increasingly rare. The aperitivo offers a welcome contrast by encouraging real-life socialising and conversation. Gathering with friends or colleagues over drinks encourages meaningful dialogue, laughter, and shared experiences. It allows individuals to forge deeper connections, strengthen relationships, and create memories that go beyond fleeting digital interactions.

A Moment to Pause and Be Present. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, the aperitivo serves as a precious moment to pause and be present. Unlike the hurried pace of modern living, this tradition encourages individuals to slow down, relax, and appreciate the company of others. Whether enjoying a leisurely drink on a sun-drenched terrace or cosying up in a dimly lit bar, the aperitivo encourages mindfulness and a sense of gratitude for the simple pleasures in life.

Nurturing Wellbeing. Beyond its social aspects, the aperitivo contributes to overall wellbeing in several ways. By creating regular opportunities for social interaction, it helps combat feelings of loneliness and isolation—a growing concern in today’s society. Sharing food and drinks with others triggers the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” which promotes feelings of bonding and trust. Additionally, the relaxed atmosphere of the aperitivo encourages stress reduction and mental relaxation. Taking time to unwind with friends over a drink can lower cortisol levels and improve overall mood. It’s a time to recharge and cultivate a sense of community—a cornerstone of Italian culture that continues to resonate worldwide.

Food: It’s Only Good if it’s Fresh

Italy’s culinary tradition places a premium on fresh, seasonal produce sourced locally. Unlike the prevalence of fast-food chains in many countries, Italy’s commitment to fresh ingredients enhances both the nutritional value and flavour of meals. As of 2022, Italy has around 600 McDonald’s outlets and 40 Starbucks stores, compared to about 1,300 McDonald’s and 1,000 Starbucks in the UK. This reflects an inherent focus on quality and taste over speed. The Mediterranean diet, recommended by many nutritionists, emphasizes consuming leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale, a variety of colourful vegetables, and a handful of nuts most days. It includes antioxidant-rich berries such as blueberries and strawberries, beans, lentils, whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice, and fatty fish rich in omega-3s, such as salmon. The diet also recommends poultry a few times a week, using olive oil as the primary cooking oil, and enjoying wine in moderation, particularly red wine. Benefits of the Mediterranean diet:

Nutrient-Rich Meals. Fresh produce such as vegetables, fruits, and herbs are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Including these ingredients in meals supports overall health, boosts immunity, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

Improved Digestion and Weight Management. The high fibre content in the Mediterranean diet, from sources like legumes, whole grains, and vegetables, promotes healthy digestion and can aid in weight management by helping to maintain a feeling of fullness and stabilise blood sugar levels.

Enhances Culinary Experience. Cooking with fresh ingredients elevates the flavour and quality of dishes. Whether it’s ripe tomatoes in a Caprese salad or fragrant basil in a pasta sauce, fresh produce enhances the sensory experience of eating, contributing to satisfaction and enjoyment.

The Passeggiata: A Stroll for Connection

In Italian culture, the passeggiata is a cherished tradition that involves taking a leisurely stroll through town squares, along promenades, or through neighbourhoods, typically in the early evening before dinner. This ritual is not just about physical activity but is deeply ingrained in social interaction and community bonding.

Social Interaction and Connection. The passeggiata provides a structured opportunity for friends, families, and neighbours to come together. As people mingle and greet each other, it strengthens social bonds and fosters a sense of community. This regular interaction can reduce feelings of loneliness and enhance overall happiness.

Physical Activity. Engaging in a leisurely walk during the passeggiata promotes physical wellbeing. It encourages movement and helps individuals incorporate gentle exercise into their daily routine, contributing to cardiovascular health and maintaining mobility.

Mental Relaxation and Stress Reduction. Taking a stroll through pleasant surroundings in the company of others promotes relaxation and reduces stress. It allows individuals to unwind after a busy day, clear their minds, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, which is essential for mental wellbeing.

Let’s Talk About Coffee

Italy is renowned for its vibrant coffee culture, where espresso is enjoyed throughout the day. There continues to be a debate about the health benefits of coffee but when consumed in moderation, coffee offers several health benefits, including improved cognitive function, increased alertness, and potential protective effects against certain diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The ritual of enjoying a coffee—whether standing at a bar or lingering at a café table—also encourages social interaction and relaxation, further enhancing wellbeing.

Benefits to Wellbeing Include:

Social Interaction. Coffee in Italy is often enjoyed in cafés, where locals gather to socialise, share stories, and connect with friends and neighbours. This fosters a sense of community and belonging, which is crucial for mental wellbeing.

Moderate Caffeine Consumption. When consumed in moderation, coffee has been linked to various health benefits, including improved cognitive function, increased alertness, and reduced risk of certain diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Ritual and Relaxation. The act of enjoying coffee is a daily ritual that provides a moment of pause and relaxation. Whether standing at a bar or sitting at a café table, savouring a coffee encourages mindfulness and allows individuals to recharge and rejuvenate.

The Italian approach to life embodies a holistic perspective on wellbeing that extends beyond mere relaxation and enjoyment. From fostering face-to-face connections through the aperitivo and the passeggiata to embracing culinary traditions that celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients and moderate coffee consumption, Italy offers a blueprint for cultivating a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. By embracing these traditions, we can learn valuable lessons about mindfulness, community, and the importance of savouring life’s simple pleasures. So, whether you’re sipping an Aperol Spritz in Milan or enjoying an espresso in Rome, take a cue from the Italians – one ritual at a time – Embracing la dolce vita for optimal wellness.

Falling asleep quickly at night is a common challenge for many. You’re not alone if you find yourself staring at the ceiling, feeling wired and tired, or struggling to switch off your internal monologue. This frustrating experience can make bedtime feel like a battleground rather than a peaceful retreat. However, a new technique called cognitive shuffling might be the key to helping you fall asleep faster. This mental exercise distracts your mind from conscious thought patterns that keep you awake, mimicking micro dreams and signalling to your brain that it’s safe to fall asleep.

Understanding the Problem

Many people find themselves caught in a loop of overthinking at bedtime. After a busy day, the mind often refuses to shut down, racing through a to-do list, replaying conversations, or worrying about future events. This state of heightened alertness makes it difficult for the body to relax and slip into sleep mode. Traditional advice, such as avoiding screens before bed or maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, can certainly help, but sometimes additional strategies are necessary to quiet the mind.

Introducing Cognitive Shuffling

Cognitive shuffling is a technique designed to disrupt overactive thinking patterns and promote sleep. Think of it as a way to re-organise your thoughts, similar to shuffling a deck of cards. The process involves deliberately thinking about random, unrelated words or images, which helps to break the cycle of repetitive or stressful thoughts. This mental exercise mimics the natural process of dreaming and can signal to your brain that it’s time to transition from wakefulness to sleep.

How Cognitive Shuffling Works

Choose a Neutral Word: Start with a neutral word, preferably one with several letters. Avoid emotionally charged or complex words. For example, you might choose the word “garden.”

Create a Mental List: Break the word into its individual letters. For each letter, think of a word that starts with that letter. For example, for the word “garden,” you might think of “gate,” “artist,” “river”, “dog” etc.

Visualise the Words: As you think of each word, try to visualise it in your mind. Imagine a gate opening, an artist painting, a river flowing and a dog wagging its tail. Allow your mind to dwell on each image briefly before moving on to the next.

Continue Shuffling: Once you’ve gone through the letters of your initial word, choose another word and repeat the process. The goal is to keep your mind occupied with simple, non-stimulating images and thoughts.

Why Cognitive Shuffling Works

Cognitive shuffling works by engaging the brain in a way that is neither too stimulating nor too dull. It provides just enough mental activity to prevent your mind from wandering back to stressful or repetitive thoughts. This gentle distraction helps to create a mental state that is conducive to sleep, similar to the way your brain naturally cycles through different thoughts and images as you drift off.

The process of visualizing simple, unrelated images can mimic the early stages of dreaming. These “micro dreams” send a signal to your brain that it’s safe to relax and let go, facilitating the transition into sleep.

Tips for Success

Practice Regularly: Like any new skill, cognitive shuffling may take some time to master. Practice regularly to become more proficient at the technique.

Stay Patient: If your mind wanders back to stressful thoughts, gently redirect it back to the cognitive shuffling process. It’s normal for your mind to stray, especially when you’re first starting out.

Combine with Other Sleep Hygiene Practices: Cognitive shuffling is most effective when used in conjunction with other good sleep hygiene practices, such as maintaining a consistent bedtime, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding caffeine or electronic screens before bed.

Cognitive shuffling is a simple yet powerful technique that can help you overcome the common struggle of falling asleep quickly. By distracting your mind from conscious thought patterns and mimicking the process of micro dreams, this mental exercise sends a signal to your brain that it’s safe to relax and drift off. With practice and patience, cognitive shuffling can become a valuable tool in your sleep toolkit, helping you achieve a more restful and restorative night’s sleep.

We recently caught up with Jessie Blum, the visionary founder of Heartcore, one of London’s most renowned (and hugely popular) pilates studio. Jessie shares her deep-rooted relationship with movement, the inspiring story behind the creation of Heartcore, and her approach to maintaining wellbeing amidst the demands of being a busy entrepreneur.

Why do you move?

Mindful movement is my daily meditation. It teaches me discipline, builds my resilience and brings clarity to my mind and body. It helps me to get to know myself better by understanding where I am at that very moment. It’s about reflection, awareness and the opportunity to make choices that allow me to grow more into the person I want to be.

What are some of your earliest recollections of physical activity as a child? 

Horse riding was my first love. As a child, there was no greater pleasure than being around horses and the sense of freedom it brought – it makes you feel totally alive and forces you to be present and aware of your energy as horses pick up on it straight away. To this day it remains one of my favourite ways to escape the world.

Can you remember your first reformer class? What was it that initially drew you to it? 

It was in LA that I first discovered Reformer Pilates. I absolutely loved the way it made me feel and the way my body responded to the combination of lengthening and strengthening moves. It was unlike anything else I’d tried, and I was immediately hooked.

Talk us through the beginnings of Heartcore… how did you come up with the concept and how has it changed since you launched the business in 2007?

Before moving to London, I was living in Los Angeles. It was there that I really discovered my love for fitness and began my entrepreneurial journey to transform the existing Pilates landscape.

When I opened Heartcore in 2007, London was yet to embrace the boutique fitness concept, so I saw an opportunity to disrupt the wellness space and pave a new way to move. I took on a heavily male-dominated industry and set about creating my own method of Pilates with the power of positive movement at its core.

Our first studio in Kensington was a humble, yet magical, space and quickly became known as ‘London’s best kept secret’. Over the last 17 years I’ve worked tirelessly to evolve the Heartcore Method, grow the business and establish the brand. Reformer Pilates and boutique studios may now be found across London, but Heartcore has become cemented as the leader within its field.

With seven – soon to be eight – thriving London studios offering Coreformer and infrared heated mat Pilates, as well as Heartcore’s global online platform, we’re able to bring the joy of our Heartcore Method to an ever-growing community.

What led to you designing the Coreformer and how has it elevated Heartcore’s method?

When I founded Heartcore I was looking for reformers to put in our studio, but I couldn’t find one that did what I wanted it to do, so I created my own! With everything we do at Heartcore, we are always striving to give our community the best possible experience, and our Coreformers – referred to as the “Rolls-Royce of reformers” – really set the brand apart.

However, I am always seeking ways to take the Heartcore experience to new levels, and this year saw the launch of my Coreformer 2.0 – an ultra-luxe evolution of the original Coreformer – that offers an even smoother, quieter ride and enables deeper movements to work your entire body, allowing your mind to be really present and taking you on a journey of discovery from the inside out.

Heartcore is loved by so many people. The teachers, the music, the sense of community… it’s easy to see why people are addicted and keep coming back for more! How did you go about cultivating such an inviting space for people to work out in?

Living in large cities like London, Los Angeles and Hamburg taught me how important it is to find a community where you feel welcome, safe and inspired. This is how we are able to thrive and grow. Because of this, I always knew I wanted to build a community; focusing on one heart at a time, nurturing every relationship, every studio, every teacher and every person that walks through our doors.

Together with my team we have created spaces where individuals can push past their perceived boundaries and grow in the most generous way. I am so proud of how much we all want it to count. As we say at Heartcore, “we move you, so you can move the world”.

You’ve lived in various places across the world, where has been the place that’s inspired you the most and why? 

With nothing but a backpack, I left Germany in my mid-twenties on the search for the meaning of (my) life. I felt rather lost and confused, like there was no place where I fitted in. I randomly settled in Byron Bay on the East Coast of Australia. Back then it was still somewhat untouched, a bohemian paradise, and I felt right at home. It’s there where I connected with my heart and found my ‘why’. I came to realise that my happiness was closely knit with seeing others thrive. That I needed to do something that really mattered to people, something that would contribute to a better world and keep us all inspired and connected.

Running a business can be so time-consuming… how do you prioritise your own fitness and wellbeing in-between?

There was a time when I didn’t prioritise my wellbeing and it made me question the path I’d chosen. I didn’t feel as though I had anything left to give, because I wasn’t giving to myself. I started to feel resentful and a bit depressed. That’s when I realised that unless I gave priority to my daily movement, I wouldn’t be able to show up powerfully for myself or anyone around me.

What are the wellness essentials you can’t be without?

A tense body is usually the sign of a tense mind and vice versa and movement is the main thing I couldn’t live without. Overall to help me feel more energised, focused and keep my body in equilibrium, there are certain supplements I like to take. I have just discovered Qualia’s NAD+, which I’m using to support my cellular structure as I age. NAD+ is an essential enzyme involved in many critical cell functions in the human body, including energy production, DNA repair and immunoregulation. I also take Magnesium daily to support my muscles, bones and nervous system, and help to balance my hormones with the natural Hormone Balance products by Happy Mammoth.

What are your hopes and dreams for Heartcore moving forward? Is there anything in particular you’d love to accomplish that you haven’t had the opportunity to yet? 

My ambition with Heartcore is, and has always been, to help people embrace the power of positive movement with the support of a strong community built on the values of kindness, courage and respect. I’ve loved watching our first small, but mighty, community grow up into the global community it is today, and my hope is that we are able to continue to build upon this and reach more people. To help them thrive, remind them how strong they can be and that life is better when we’re doing it together.
