Well, our physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing are deeply affected by our lifestyle choices. Unhealthy lifestyle choices are the root cause of many modern-day health conditions.
The six pillars of health are built on the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, an evidence-based discipline which helps to create and maintain healthy behaviours, improve the quality of overall health and promote a longer happier life.
The six pillar approach is holistic and encompasses the following:
- A healthy diet, focussed on plant-based nutrition
- Regular exercise and movement
- Restorative sleep
- Stress management
- Avoidance or reduction of risky substances such as smoking and alcohol
- Positive social connections
