Break for Health with These Simple Health Tips
the following 4 topics have 3 guidelines each. Use them to build a healthy lifestyle foundation. There is no need for a gym, personal trainer or nutritionist (yet). This is your first step! To learn more about implementing these guidelines, try the app below to stay organized.
1) MOVEMENT
Move 30 seconds for every 30 minutes of inactivity
Sitting isn't necessarily good or bad and neither is laying down or standing up. The problem is being in the same place too long.
Increase your heart rate 10-60 consecutive minutes daily
Your cardiovascular system is a combination of many parts of your body. This guideline will keep each part in check.
Play new activities that challenge athletic tendencies daily
Enjoy life, that is why we are here! This guideline is best completed with other people but can absolutely be done alone.
2) Nourishment
No snacking between meals
Consume 4 Meals per day, 4 hours apart from each other.
Drink 1 - 2 glasses (12-32 oz) of water per meal
This makes you fuller, helps digest food, prevents injuries, keeps your brain clear and helps your body absorb micronutrients.
Consume a combination of nutrient dense macros at each meal.
Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats are the three macronutrients that calories come from. They should be full of vitamins and minerals.
3) Recovery
Sleep 6-8 Hours in Comfy Environment Nightly
There are lots of ways to set up your environment. But, first figure out how much time YOU need to sleep.
Set, Pursue and Track Short and Longterm Goals
Start with your 10-year most ambitious goal you can think of that ties in health, wealth and family.
Practice Relaxation Techniques Daily
Learning to cope with stress is a game changer; awareness is the first step to decreasing it.
4) Purpose
Spend 12 Hours Each Week Connecting with Others
There are layers to your friend circle. Know your besties and give them the time they want.
Contribute Unique Skills to a Greater Good
Fill your Venn Diagram of Things You’re Good at, Things You Enjoy and Things You Can Get Paid for to find your “sweet spot”.
