You wake up in the morning feeling energized. The daily tasks fall like dominoes in front of you without a hint of exhaustion. You even have enough left in the tank to go for a walk and make dinner. If you have a day like that, you’d probably say you’re feeling healthy. But that statement isn’t as simple as it seems. That’s because there are several foundations of good health that come together to help you live your best life.
Foundational health depends on your diet, activity, sleep, nutrition, and resilience. Strengthening the pillars of your overall health require effort on many fronts. Your habits supply the raw materials you use to construct the foundations of good health. It’s like building a house. You will need materials for your house as well. The raw materials you will need to construct your good health foundation starts below:
- Focusing on a whole-food, low-glycemic diet with proper hydration
- Exercising regularly
- Supplementing with high-quality vitamins and minerals
- Committing to getting quality sleep
- Caring for your skin on a consistent basis
- Developing effective stress management techniques
- Practicing mindfulness
It isn’t a long list. But each category of healthy habits carries its own corresponding knowledge and actions. Collectively, it’s a lot to take in at once. Starting with one or two of these habits will get you started in no time.
Let me suggest starting with the Science of Health Habits – Your Path to Success. This is included in my next blog post. I hope that you enjoy it and get started on your foundation of a healthy lifestyle.
