Nutrition. Exercise. Sleep. These three items are integral to our overall health and wellbeing. Making them part of a daily routine helps to ensure that we regularly include them in our lives in positive ways.
One thing I have found to be very true is that moderation is key when it comes to eating. Quantity and quality are meaningful here. Try to eat three adequately-portioned meals per day with a couple of snacks mixed in. Check out food/calorie guides to determine your best options in your circumstances. Keep vegetables, fruits and nuts in your daily regimen because they typically pack in plenty of nutritional benefits. From my experience, it’s preferable to allow for occasional ‘cheats’ because, for many of us, restricting ourselves from a certain item almost always leads to a greater desire for it.
Exercise is another big area. Try to get yourself moving as much as possible, especially in this time of more sedentary work-from-home situations. Walking, biking, hiking, dancing, swimming, yoga, sports, skiing, working out, and so on – whatever you like and can manage to do regularly, make it a solid routine. Do what you enjoy and it will never feel like a chore.
Sleep, although it may seem like something we can do without at times, is integral to our mental and physical wellbeing. Sleep gives our bodies and minds time to repair and recharge. Without proper amounts of slumber, we will inevitably begin to decrease in our functionality on both mental and physical levels.
What it all boils down to when it comes to overall wellness is that MODERATION is key. Someone very close to me who aged gracefully and healthfully, both physically and mentally, into their 100’s, lived life by that very motto.
Nutrition, exercise, sleep – the Big 3! Maintaining this trio can create huge benefits that will make for a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthful and possibly long life.
