Interact with Your Foundations of Good Health
You wake up in the morning feeling energized. The daily tasks fall like dominoes front of you without a hint of exhaustion. You even have enough left in the tank to go for a walk and make dinner. If you have a day like that, you’d probably say you’re feeling healthy. But that statement isn’t as simple as it seems. That’s because there are several foundations of good health that come together to help you live your best life.
Foundational health depends on your diet, activity, sleep, nutrition, and resilience. Strengthening the pillars of your overall health require effort on many fronts. Your habits supply the raw materials you use to construct the foundations of good health.
This includes:
- Focusing on a whole-food, low-glycemic diet with proper hydration
- Exercising regularly
- Supplementing with high-quality vitamin and mineral
- Committing to getting quality sleep
- Caring for your skin on a consistent basis
- Developing effective stress management techniques
- Practicing mindfulness
It isn’t a long list. But each category of healthy habits carries its own corresponding knowledge and actions. Collectively, it’s a lot to take in at once. That’s where the interactive graphic below comes in. Bookmark it so you can return to explore each aspect of foundational health.
Hover over different sections of the graphic—denoted by dots—to find the category of healthy habits you’re looking for. Then, choose from the list of resources that will help support your quest to build up each of your foundations of good health.
