No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
Taking charge of our personal health requires some motivation and access to information. (Are you interested?). The good news and bad news is that no one manages your self-care as well as you do. The bad news is you have to do some work. The good news is it doesn’t have to be hard.
Which parts of the quadrangle do you think you could improve?
A few questions to consider about 2024:
Did you make sleep a priority? What obstacles did you face?
Were you mindful about what you ate? Did you eat more whole foods or processed foods? How much protein did you eat most days?
How many days did you see the sunrise or set? How often did you take a walk outside? What barriers did you face?
How many days did you move regularly through the day ( interrupt sitting regularly)? How many days did you devote more than 30 minutes to exercise?
What questions would be more meaningful for your life/ daily responsibilities?

Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
