Lifestyle Health
Lifestyle Illness: 80% of all chronic illnesses are related to lifestyle choices. Through knowledge & self-care, we take responsibility to stop or reverse heart disease, diabetes, cancers, obesity & lung disease. Let’s develop & improve our daily lifestyle habits to help our bodies stay healthy & strong.
Body Clues: Our bodies provide clues to when it needs our help to heal. Increases in blood pressure, cholesterol/triglycerides, weight and blood sugar are common clues that our bodies are asking for help. For some, medications may be the first step to manage the symptoms, but only lifestyle changes can heal your body.
Manage Versus Heal: Medications help to manage the symptoms of chronic illnesses. Healing comes from the body’s ability to maximize its efforts to perform at its best. Work with your doctor & learn about your illness. Then, identify actions that you can take to maximize your body’s ability to heal itself.
Age Blame: Long-term lifestyle choices, regarding nutrition, activity, smoking, alcohol, social network and life purpose, can make us feel younger or older. Age, alone, cannot be blamed for how we feel. Daily lifestyle actions contribute to how we feel, move & think. Take on daily healthy habits and live your healthiest life.
Everything Impact: Everything we do impacts our health & happiness. By making healthier choices regarding our nutrition, activity level, stress, life’s purpose, social network, finances and work, leads us to a happier life. Pick an everyday habit and make it healthier, today and every day.
Like Everything Else: Daily smoking & vaping leads to illness. Like everything else, our daily habits lead us towards illness. Consult with your doctor and start improving your daily habits by eating more whole food plant-based meals, practicing resistance training & cardio, reducing or eliminating alcohol and performing stress reduction techniques.
