Health and Wellness

A commitment to a plan of health is something I have promoted since I was 11 years old, and it has proven to be one of the best decisions I've ever made regarding how to lead a healthy life. From a young age, we are taught that insufficient sleep or inadequate nutrition can hinder our bodies' ability to function optimally. Consequently, our mental alertness and awareness suffer when we operate in survival mode, with our bodies taking precedence over decision-making, signaling needs such as water, food, or nutrition.

It's crucial to ensure we obtain sufficient protein, carbohydrates, and fats each day to support bodily functions and realize our potential. This group aims to raise awareness about how individuals can enhance their functioning and maintain alertness throughout the day. Recognizing that each person is unique, we consider not only nutrition and exercise but also genetic and biological factors when devising personalized health and wellness plans. By understanding the interconnection between mental, physical, and emotional health, we can create tailored plans to motivate, strengthen, and guide individuals towards improved well-being daily.

Every member of the group should be prepared to develop an action plan for their mental and physical wellness, incorporating exercise, meditation, communication, and positive affirmations. As the saying goes, "you are what you eat," emphasizing the importance of food as medicine. Exercise serves as a guiding principle to support the body's optimal functioning. While we cannot extend our lives indefinitely, we can strive to be in the healthiest condition possible as we journey into uncharted territories with the one life we've been given.

I look forward to seeing you in the group on Saturdays.
