Studies have shown these 4 areas to have a large impact on the risk of premature death and serious illness.
Here’s the 4 areas you may need to work on:
1. Healthy diet, this includes your intake of healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, healthy fats, and omega-3 fatty acids, and reducing unhealthy foods like red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages, trans fat, and sodium.
2. Healthy physical activity level, this means at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity daily, even getting an evening walk in is a great start.
3. Smoking & vaping, well, there is no healthy amount of smoking or vaping. So let’s ditch the habit this year!
4. Moderate alcohol intake, which is 5 to 15 grams per day for women, and 5 to 30 grams per day for men. Generally, one drink contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol. That’s 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits!
Most of us need support and accountability in these areas to be successful. I help clients every day do just that, as they transform their habits one workout and healthy meal at a time.
