Thinking, Breathing, Hydration, Nutrition, Movement, Sleep.  It is that simple.  Follow these 6 pillars and your health and lifestyle will get you to your goals.  The challenge is these days many of us have lost touch with some or all of these pillars.  Today I will share tips based on these 6 Pillars of Health & Lifestyle.  

•Thinking- is a extremely vital when looking at the 6 pillars of healthy eating and exercise! • The success you have in both your eating and exercise are dependent on how you think.  •Your thoughts can have a profound effect on eating and health.  •Thoughts effect every cell in the body.  •Therefore you must be responsible for your thought processes.  •Thoughts manifest into words, creating a powerful physical outcome. •What this means for you is you must think about what you eat/exercise, how you eat/exercise, who you eat/exercise with/ why you eat/exercise, where you eat/exercise to bring out your best results.

•Breathing –  we take 29,000 breathes a day and not many people breath well!  •This is truly vital to learn how to breath well for your health and exercise.•Take a yoga lesson, take a meditation class or simply sit in a quiet space and take a breathe in through the nose for the count of 4, hold that breathe for the count of 4 and release your breathe through pursed (pucker) lips for the count of 8

•Hydration: water is the substance of life. •The definition of water: colorless, odourless, tasteless and clear.  •Did you know that most people can not tell the difference from hunger and thirst and will eat something to satisfy the feeling. •It is suggested to drink ½ your body weight in ounces daily.   •If feeling hungry have a glass of water.  After 20 minutes still hungry then eat as you really are hungry.  •Simple way to get 8 glasses of water daily: on waking up, at each meal and snacks, before bed, with exercise-this will be a challenge as you start, stick with it as it is worth it

•Nutrition – how much thought are you putting into your eating habits and your exercise habits? •Most don’t put much in and then wonder why they are not getting good results. • Eating REAL FOOD, organic is best, local is a good choice• Eliminate SUGAR & ALL GRAINS is the easiest place to start. • Dr. Tom O’Bryan states that “No human can digest gluten.”

•Exercise – is as simple as moving!  •Get off the couch and move. • Go for a walk, do something fun, bodyweight exercise, kettlebells, skipping, sprinting are all exceptional ways to exercise.  •The most important point is to find an activity you really enjoy and do that activity often.

•Sleep – the throw away commodity! • Lack of sleep causes many health problems.• I heard Robb Wolfe say that if people just went to sleep earlier most illness would just go away.•Goal for sleep is 7-9 hours per night, best time to go to bed is 10:30pm•Begin to prepare at least an hour before by dimming the lights, closing electronic equipment
