| 5 Basics for Optimal Health |
|
True health is maintaining balance physically, emotionally & spiritually. In order for your body to function optimally & be able to heal itself, you need to be proactive. The 5 basics for optimal health are:
Food, Water, Rest, Exercise, Own Your Own Power
- Limit sugar & grains in your diet
- Eat a protien source every 2-3 hours (hard boiled eggs, raw almonds, string - cheese, natural peanut butter, lean chicken, pork or fish)
- Eat 7-9 servings of fruit & vegetables daily
- Take a high quality fish oil, like Krill Oil
Water:
- Drink 1 quart of water for every 50 lbs. of body weight
- That's 3-4 quarts of water per day for the majority of us. Always round up.
Rest:
- Get plenty of sleep (8-9 hours per night).
Exercise:
- Stay active despite the weather! Get outside daily for a brisk walk & fresh air!
- Exercise regularly, 4-5 times per week, at moderate to high intensity for 20-30 minutes.
Own Your Own Power:
- Make your emotional health a priority
