Simple steps to boost your well-being

Building healthy habits can improve your physical and mental health. Start with these practical tips:

  • Get 7–8 hours of sleep each night.
  • Connect with friends and family to strengthen relationships.
  • Laugh often and practice gratitude.
  • Limit caffeine to the morning and eat colorful, whole foods daily.
  • Stay active, our bodies are meant to move. Take walks outdoors and stand every 20–40 minutes.
  • Be mindful, maintain balance, and spend time in nature.
  • Plan your meals, prepare your kitchen, and set up a morning routine.
  • Express yourself creatively, admire art, and keep learning to stay curious.
  • Hug someone, play, and relax—these activities boost productivity.
  • Get your labs done yearly to ensure optimal vitamin and mineral levels.
  • Drink enough water: calculate your daily intake based on your weight and age and add extra for exercise.

Small changes like these can lead to big improvements in health and happiness.
