Beyond Food: Daily Habits That Elevate Your Health

Your daily habits matter just as much as what you eat. Here’s how to optimize your health beyond diet and supplements.

1. Hydration: The Overlooked Secret to Longevity

Drink at least half your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water daily.

• Add electrolytes (sea salt, lemon) for better absorption.

• Avoid sugary sports drinks—opt for coconut water instead.

  
  

2. Move Your Body Daily

• Sitting too much increases the risk of diabetes & heart disease.

• Aim for 30+ minutes of activity daily (walking, weightlifting, yoga).

• Strength training improves metabolism & insulin sensitivity.

3. Manage Stress & Sleep Like Your Health Depends on It (Because It Does!)

• Chronic stress raises cortisol, leading to weight gain & cravings.

• Poor sleep disrupts hormones & blood sugar levels.

• Aim for 7-9 hours of high-quality sleep nightly.

  
  

4. Mindful Eating: Slow Down & Listen to Your Body

• Chew slowly to aid digestion & prevent overeating.

• Stop eating at 80% fullness instead of stuffing yourself.

• Avoid eating in front of screens to stay mindful.
