Making lifestyle changes have been proven to address the root cause of diseases.
Total LifestyleMed Care focuses on 6 keys to achieving optimal H.E.A.L.T.H.:
Healthful and mindful eating. Making sure your body is getting the right nutrients is key to good health. Choose whole food, plant-based food options and enjoy more home cooked meals while limiting processed foods.
Engaging in regular physical activity. Whether it’s parking farther away, taking the stairs or even running around with your kids, any increase in physical activity counts. Choose something you enjoy.
Avoiding harmful substances. Substances can cloud out judgement and impact the way our bodies function. Work to stop smoking and decrease the amount of alcohol you consume.
Linking with others. It’s important to feel part of a group. Ensure social connectedness, not just virtually, but by having live interaction with people.
Taming your stress. Discover how to make stress work in your favor and create practices in your daily life to include deep breathing, meditation, physical activity and yoga.
Harnessing quality sleep and rest. Ensure that you are getting enough quality sleep and the proper rest. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep at night.
