Healthy Lifestyle Blueprint

You probably know your diet and exercise habits influence your health, but ...
... ignore this equally important influencer of health and all the dieting and exercising in the world won't matter.
Do you exercise and stay active? Do you watch what you eat, eating healthier foods and avoiding those that aren't so good for you?
A lot of people do. We are more aware now of dietary and exercise habits which lead to good health than ever before. If that's true, and it is, then why is the human race fatter, sicker and unhealthier than ever before? If we know so much more now about what causes excellent health and wellness than we have in the past, why are the following health problems commonplace?Heart disease, heart attack, strokeHigh blood pressureHigh cholesterolOverweight and obesityDiabetesMultiple cancersAlzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, dementiaChronic fatigueHigh levels of anxiety, stress and depression
Heart disease, type II diabetes, overweight and obesity are at an epidemic levels. This is happening at the same time that we're aware of exactly how to create the best health and wellness.
That doesn't make much sense, does it?
In many cases, the problem is that people know "just enough" to get healthier, but they ignore one of the most influential factors of health ...
... sleep habits.
It's true. You can exercise until you're blue in the face. You can attack your diet and eat the healthiest foods on the planet. Do both of those things and your health is going to improve, surely.
If you don't add healthy sleep habits to the equation, you're not going to be as healthy as you can be.
A healthy lifestyle blueprint is like a three-legged stool. If any of its legs are missing, the stool collapses.
