We’re often taught that the key to health is food—and while nutrition matters, it’s only part of the picture.

Yes, keeping it simple helps:
Eat real foods.
Choose things that come from the earth, not a bag or a box.

But there are six keys to health… and one of the most overlooked is physical activity.

Here are a few facts worth thinking about:

• Physical inactivity is the 4th leading risk factor for global mortality
• In the U.S., 8.3% of deaths are linked to lack of movement

And the impact of moving your body?

✔️ Reduces risk of coronary heart disease by 20–30%
✔️ Lowers risk of Type 2 Diabetes by 31%
✔️ Decreases risk of colon cancer by 17–30%
✔️ Decreases risk of breast cancer by 20–30%

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s consistency.

👉 Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity per week
That’s just 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week

Walk. Dance. Stretch. Lift. Move.

Your body was designed for it.

Happy Monday🩷
This week... practice mindfulness in allowing your nervous system to rest.

As Americans, we spend much of our time in the SympatheticNervous System (fight or flight) vs our Parasympathetic System(feed and breed ).
This chronic disorientation of our Nervous systems leads to chronic fatigue, inflammation, gut health disruption, mental health imbalance.

So, this week... Be intentional.
🩷Go for a slower, longer walk outdoors

🩷Place three hard stops in your day: Morning, Afternoon, Evening - 15 minutes of something you love to allow your system to rest (not social media scrolling)

🩷Laugh with someone you love

🩷Dance,sing ... Do something that brings you joy.

🩷Practice yoga/stretching

And yes, You have time! Make this a priority. Arrange your day... make space for this. Be kind to your body and allow it to be kind to you 🤍

"All parts of the body, if used in moderation and exercised in labors to which each is accustomed, become thereby healthy and well developed and age slowly: but if they are unused and left idle, they become liable to disease, defective in growth and age quickly." -Hippocrates
