1. Eat Whole, Nutrient-Dense Foods
- Focus on a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, healthy fats, legumes, whole grains, herbs & spices.
- Minimise ultra-processed, sugar-laden, and artificial foods.
- Stay hydrated with 2–3L of clean water daily.
Your cells are built from what you eat — build with quality.
2. Move Your Body Daily
- Aim for at least 30 mins/day of movement: walking, yoga, cycling, swimming, or strength training.
- Mix cardio (heart health), strength (bone/muscle health), flexibility (joint function), and balance exercises.
- Use movement as medicine — even gentle stretching counts.
3. Prioritise Deep, Restorative Sleep
- Aim for 7–9 hours each night.
- Keep a regular sleep-wake cycle, avoid screens before bed, and sleep in a dark, cool room.
- Sleep is when your body repairs and resets — never compromise on it.
4. Regulate Stress Through Breath & Presence
- Chronic stress shortens lifespan and impacts every organ.
- Use breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, or nature walks daily to regulate your nervous system.
When the mind is calm, the body heals faster.
5. Build & Maintain Muscle
- Muscle is protective as we age — it helps with metabolism, stability, hormone health, and independence.
- Include resistance or bodyweight training 2–4x per week, at any age.
- Use it or lose it: strength is a lifelong gift.
6. Care for Your Skin & Body
- Use natural products when possible.
- Stay hydrated, moisturise, protect from excessive sun, and exfoliate.
- Touch, massage, and body care rituals improve lymphatic flow and body awareness.
7. Protect Your Oral Health
- Brush twice daily, floss, and visit the dentist regularly.
- Oral health is linked to heart disease, inflammation, and brain health.
The mouth is a gateway to the body.
8. Support Gut Health
- Eat a variety of fibre-rich and fermented foods (yoghurt, kimchi, sauerkraut).
- Limit antibiotics and manage stress.
- A healthy gut equals a strong immune system and sharp brain.
9. Keep the Mind & Emotions Clear
- Mental and emotional health deeply affect physical wellbeing.
- Practice journaling, therapy, self-reflection, and nurturing connection.
- Repressed emotions can manifest physically.
10. Avoid Toxins
- Limit alcohol, nicotine, recreational drugs, and environmental toxins (plastics, heavy metals, etc.).
- Detox gently through saunas, sweat, hydration, breath, and nutrition.
- Your liver, kidneys, and skin will thank you.
11. Maintain Healthy Relationships
- Strong relationships reduce stress, support longevity, and elevate wellbeing.
- Loneliness is as harmful as smoking — community matters.
12. Check In With Your Body & Healthcare
- Do regular health screenings (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.).
- Listen to your body’s signs early.
- Holistic + medical = smart health management.
