State your name and date of birth and get your identification bracelet scanned. The entire process of safely administering medicine
to you begins by verifying your identity. Although your healthcare providers may know you well, it is important for you to provide
anyone who brings you medicine with your full name and date of birth. If barcode scanning is available, be sure they also scan the
barcode on your identification bracelet to confirm your identity before giving you any medicine. Don’t let the process proceed until
this has been done.

🌿 Stress: The Hidden Weight on Your Body

Stress isn’t just in your mind — it leaves fingerprints all over your health. When your body stays in “fight or flight” mode for too long, your heart works harder, your digestion slows down, your sleep gets disturbed, and your immune system weakens. That constant tension can even show up as headaches, fatigue, or muscle pain.

Learning to manage stress is not about avoiding life’s challenges but about giving your body space to recover. Deep breathing, walks in nature, journaling, or even a few quiet moments without screens can calm your system. Your health depends on how well you release the weight you can’t see.

💧 Hydration: The Silent Key to Energy

Your body is more than half water, yet most people walk around quietly dehydrated every day. Even mild dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and trouble focusing — making you think you’re tired or sick when your body is simply thirsty.

Water fuels every cell, helps regulate temperature, cushions your joints, and keeps your skin glowing. Forgetting to drink is like asking your body to run on half power. Keep a bottle nearby, sip throughout the day, and listen when your body whispers for water — before it has to shout.

Lift weights
Strength and resistance training are some of the best forms of exercises you can do to strengthen your muscles and improve your body composition.

It may also lead to important improvements in metabolic health, including improved insulin sensitivity — meaning your blood sugar levels are easier to manage — and increases in your metabolic rate, or how many calories you burn at rest.

If you do not have weights, you can use your own bodyweight or resistance bands to create resistance and get a comparable workout with many of the same benefits.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends resistance training twice per week

Limit refined carbs
Not all carbs are created equal.

Refined carbs have been highly processed to remove their fiber. They’re relatively low in nutrients and may harm your health when eaten in excess. Most ultra-processed foods are made from refined carbs, like processed corn, white flour, and added sugars.

Studies show that a diet high in refined carbs may be linked to overeating, weight gain, and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease

Minimize your sugar intake
Added sugar is extremely prevalent in modern food and drinks. A high intake is linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping added sugar intake below 10% of your daily calorie intake, while the World Health Organization recommends slashing added sugars to 5% or less of your daily calories for optimal health

Use extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest vegetable oils you can use. It’s loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties

Extra virgin olive oil may benefit heart health, as people who consume it have a lower risk for dying from heart attacks and strokes according to some evidence

Don’t smoke or use drugs, and only drink in moderation
Smoking, harmful use of drugs, and alcohol abuse can all seriously negatively affect your health.

If you do any of these actions, consider cutting back or quitting to help reduce your risk for chronic diseases. (54aTrusted Source, 54bTrusted Source)

There are resources available online — and likely in your local community, as well — to help with this. Talk with your doctor to learn more about accessing resources.

Get moving
Doing aerobic exercise, or cardio, is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health.
It’s particularly effective at reducing belly fat, the harmful type of fat that builds up around your organs. Reduced belly fat may lead to major improvements in your metabolic health .
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, we should strive for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity each week.

Eat adequate protein
Eating enough protein is vital for optimal health, as it provides the raw materials your body needs to create new cells and tissues .
What’s more, this nutrient is particularly important for maintenance of a moderate body weight.
High protein intake may boost your metabolic rate or calorie burn while making you feel full. It may also reduce cravings and your desire to snack late at night.

Stay hydrated
Hydration is an important and often overlooked marker of health. Staying hydrated helps ensure that your body is functioning optimally and that your blood volume is sufficient.

Drinking water is the best way to stay hydrated, as it’s free of calories, sugar, and additives.

Although there’s no set amount that everyone needs per day, aim to drink enough so that your thirst is adequately quenched.
