Life Plan:I make caring for my health a priority in my life. My other top priorities are caring for others in my world and doing a quality job in my work.
Nutrition:I eat a balanced diet of wholesome foods for my weight and body type to maintain or achieve an optimum level of energy.
Personal Habits: Since I have struggled with my own weight (because I just love food), here are my personal nutrition resolutions:
I drink plenty of good, clean water, at least two quarts daily.
I focus my diet around vegetables, which are nutritious and low in calories
I chew my food well. By eating more slowly, I feel more satisfied and nourished with less food and experience better digestion
I eat minimally, or not at all, after nightfall and ideally eat my main nutritious meals at breakfast, at midday, or by 6pm What are your best health approaches?
Fitness:I find and maintain the right exercise program for my body to stay (or get) fit and trim, and stick with it to promote flexibility, strength, and endurance for life.
Detox: I am aware of my food and substance weaknesses and abuses such as sugar, caffeine, or alcohol, and I take steps to avoid them, or use them sparingly. The period from January into the warmer Springtime months is ideal for detoxification, depending on my climate and body warmth.
Sleep: I allow myself enough sleep to rest my body nightly, thus recharging my batteries and supporting my immune strength to protect me from illness.
Supplements: I take appropriate nutritional and herbal supplements for my body’s ideal function and health.
Attitude: I maintain an attitude of health in caring for and loving my body so that I will follow healthy habits year around. My body is my only lifelong possession and I treat it in a loving way.
Stress: I pay attention to my emotions and stresses, and continue to develop non-aggressive ways to express my feelings and let go of stress and inner conflicts.
Relationships: I ask others, especially loved ones and co-workers, what they need from me and I do what I can to support them. Likewise, I let them know what I need as appropriate to each life situation. In other words, I care for others and allow them to care for me.
In addition to continuing Covid challenges this winter, we are still in the flu season so here are my tips for prevention and treatment. If you start to feel unwell it is best to take action quickly.
Even in normal times, it can be difficult to Stay Healthy during the Winter season. This year we have the added challenges of continuing Covid plus a stronger than usual flu season and concerns over RSV in children. I hope these tips will be helpful.
Even with Covid less of a threat now, we still want to Stay Healthy so I have put together my 10 Tips for strengthening your immune system and preventing viral infections. They are based on my book Ultimate Immunity.
January is the perfect time for a fresh start and this detox guided by Dr. Haas will help you achieve that goal. It will also help rebalance your body after any holiday excesses!
This is such an important topic. The earlier we teach our children about basic health concepts the more likely they are to adopt healthy habits. A great holiday gift!
