Have a quick walk around the block if you don’t get out very often. Daily fresh air is important. Even five minutes will make a difference.

Digestion

We can spend a lot of time focusing purely on diet and overlook digestion, but in order for our body to benefit from eating good food, we need to make sure our digestion is in good working order

Digestion uses more energy and resources than any other process in the body. Intermittent fasting is a way of taking the pressure off the digestive system and allowing the body to use that energy for healing, regeneration and rebuilding.

Sleep

It’s a well-established fact that sleep is essential to our physical, emotional and mental health, so getting a good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your health.
