THE FIVE PILLARS OF HEALTH Mind Body Spirit Diet Exercise In order to become a complete healthy person, one must balance and incorporate these 5 vital dynamics. However, once you have achieved this balance it is a continuous work in progress. SNACKS Eating snacks are important throughout your day and does not mean you have to cheat on your diet. A few good examples are; peanuts (Unsalted), mixed nuts, rice cakes w/ natural peanut butter, wheat crackers, carrots bites, whole grain cereal, fresh fruit, granola bars (Kashi brand recommended) and whey protein shakes to name a few. Have at it! DRINK WATER!!! • Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells • Moisturizes the air in lungs • Helps with metabolism • Protects our vital organ • Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better • Regulates body temperature • Detoxifies • Protects and moisturizes our joints Water is vital to your health and body functions. Although, the recommended norm is 8 glasses in most cases, I recommend increasing your intake. Bonus benefit, the more water you intake, the less water your body holds, which helps eliminate water weight.
