This is one of the most important areas of Life Management. It can make or break all other areas and is multifaceted. It is more than simply what you put in your body, it is also how you move your body, and making sure you are resting your body & getting enough sleep. As you create your vision of 100% Physical Health means to you, consider some of these things to add to your Three to Thrive Action list:
Put things in your body that are good for you
- Don’t smoke. There is enough research out there to justify this advice. Smoking kills.
- Limit alcohol – Sure, wine is made of grapes; beer and liquor come from grains. However, the processing they go through take them far from that natural state and in excess, alcohol can be toxic, literally poisoning your body and your damaging organs.
- Drink lots of water. You’ve heard that most of your body is made up of water, and that drinking pure clean water is vital to flush out toxins from your body, but there is more. Thirst and hunger both originate in the hypothalamus and are sometimes hard to differentiate from each other. So drink a glass of water before you have a snack.
- Eat fresh whole foods including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Limit processed foods and meats
- Choose whole grains
- Get an annual physical, or at least your bloodwork done to determine your blood sugar, cholesterol. Keep track of your blood pressure and heart rate.
Move your body in healthy ways:
- Maintain good posture
- Exercise regularly –
- Strength
- flexibility and
- endurance –
Breathe fresh air – go outside and enjoy nature – enjoy the
sun but protect your skin
