Staying healthy is not a complicated endeavor. It revolves around three basic things: 1. exercise/movement; 2. diet or what we eat; and 3. rest and play. This blog will focus primarily on #2 but these three concepts are hard to separate so there will be some 'spillage'.
It's not complicated, but it is also not easy in our current culture. In my health talks I used to talk about building healthier 'ruts'. Translate that 'patterns' or 'habits'. Our brain pushes as much as possible to automatic pilot. Those patterns/habits that form aren't necessarily healthy or good for us. Without intentionality we can end up doing things that just aren't good for us.
Changing habits is hard work. But the rewards are great. When our habits are healthier (be sure to think of it as a journey and not an "I have to fix everything all at once" approach) we don't have to work as hard to maintain it.
This is a layman's look at staying healthy as a full time truck driver. The focus is on nutrition - how to get the best nutrition in the food you eat, and the best way to fill the gaps with supplements.
