I’m back from vacation! I took the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine with me on vacation, but it’s time to get back into the regular home routine!
- Sleep- over my to bed at time to get my 7 hours.
- Stress Reduction- Morning Prayer time with coffee and a 5 minute meditation at the Y after exercising.
- Physical Movement- A run on the treadmill and some Tabatha’s for strength training
- Positive Social Connection- I spent some time with the husband since he was off on a post-call day and met some friends for coffee.
- Avoidance of Risky Substances- i don’t drink or smoke, but also for today I avoid added sugar. Just for today.
- A Whole Food Plant Based Diet- Meals are pictured below. Missing from the pictures is my snack of hot tea with my black bean brownie-Yum!
And that’s how I practice Lifestyle Medicine -the 6 pillars-just for today!
