Health = Diet + Exercise + Sleep
That’s the formula. How would you say you are doing?
Do you eat right? I do fairly well. I don’t eat much bread or sugar, but I can always do better. I don’t have snacks in the house. Eating better while traveling is something I need to work on.
Do you exercise? I do good here, but cardio has been lacking some since I had my knee replaced. I am doing better at avoiding injury while exercising.
Do you sleep enough? I could go to sleep earlier. Eating earlier will help. I do catch up on sleep when I’m behind. Being behind on sleep is the number one thing that dings my performance. I can do better in getting enough sleep while traveling. I manage my energy with food and get home from trips exhausted.
Health = Diet + Exercise + Sleep
If we can do well in these three areas, we will feel better, do better and avoid many ailments and diseases.
Thank you for this sound advice and admonition!
Check with Lisa for eating while traveling. She travels in her job and always takes her own vegan food, or shops wisely nearby.
I’ve definitely flipped my diet on its head over the last few years. From soda and fast food to water and fresh fruit and veggies, with the occasional sweets or pizza when I’m feeling accomplished or in need of a pick-me-up. No alcohol or cigarettes for almost 3 years, I can now run for 10-15 miles on my elliptical while breathing calmly through my nose without issue.
I don’t think I’ve had a good night’s sleep in 20 years, haha. For such a huge and important part of our lives, I really need to try and find out why.
