Aside from eating healthy and exercising, there is another key ingredient to staying healthy. Sleeping enough hours is very important. You think clearer, you make better eating decisions, you get sick less often, and it can also reduce stress. Try to stick to a routine sleep schedule if possible. This is what healing looks like. #BetterLifeAsMedicie

Eating fruits and vegetables can add years to your life. Processed foods do the opposite. This is what healing looks like. #BetterLifeAsMedicine

Heal your body with exercise. Being overweight, having diabetes, as well as aiding every system in your body are some examples of the power of exercise. This is #BetterLifeAsMedicine.

Remember: Exercise doesn’t just burn caloriesstudies show that it burns off stress and anxiety too. This weekend do some good for your mind and body, disconnect and go for a run.

On #nationalwalkday keep in mind walking is easy and free. Walking helps strengthen your bones and muscles, helps maintain healthy weight, improves your mood, eases joint pain, as well as boost immune function. The longer and more often you walk, the greater the benefits. #BetterLifeAsMedicine.
