Sleep is Medicine
Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health. Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. Poor sleep is linked to obesity, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and dementia. So, as hard as it may seem to some (and easy to others) you should aim to sleep 7 or more hours each night for a healthy balanced lifestyle.
Exercise is Medicine
Keeping your body moving throughout the day, helps your heart, mind and body. It doesn’t need to be a 20 km run, or picking up 40 kg weights (in each hand) the journey of a healthy lifestyle starts with one baby step after the other. Go for a walk with your kids and significant other on the beach, ride your bike along the promenade, or Have a swim, there is so much you can do.
Love is Medicine
Do things you love, practice love for yourself and others! Choose gratitude over a victim mentality, make time for family and friends, and practice being mindful and kind. Live in the present moment and set healthy boundaries with yourself and others.
