SPIRITUAL

Your spiritual goal is to glorify God and to serve others. You need to determine your “why:”

  • What is your passion and purpose?
  • Are you renewing your mind with the word of God, and applying it to your life?
  • Do you love yourself?
  • Do you nurture and care for your body?

NUTRITION

You need to fuel yourself for your purpose on this earth.

  • Are you in control of what, when, and how much you eat?
  • Or, does your body “flesh” dictate what you eat?
  • Body composition trumps weight – is your height to waist ratio 1:0.5?

EXERCISE

You need to be fit for purpose.

  • Do you lead an active or sedentary lifestyle?
  • Cardio: this can include, but is not limited to walking, running, bike, row etc.
  • Resistance: weights, gym or exercise bands.
  • You need to do 3x30min cardio and/or resistance sessions per week at a minimum.
  • Progression: further, faster, heavier, increase your rep count, and/or decrease your rest period.
  • You need to challenge yourself to improve.

 

These three areas (Spiritual, Nutrition and Physical Exercise) are foundational, and the best place to start improving your healthspan.

TODAY, WE WILL COVER TWO ADDITIONAL, AND IMPORTANT FACTORS IN FURTHER IMPROVING YOUR HEALTHSPAN.

SLEEP – 8HRS

Do you value your sleep?

  • Minimise stress, worry, fixation on the past, and anxiety about the future.
  • Stop eating 3hrs before going to sleep.
  • Get outside early morning and evening.
  • Train early, not just before you go to sleep.
  • Cut blue light devices, utilise “digital sunset” or lower the light on your mobile devices/ laptops after 18h00.
  • Limit alcohol and smoking.
  • No coffee late afternoons/ evenings.
  • Lower the temperature of your bedroom, make sure your bedroom is free from distractions, it should be dark and quiet.

BREATHING

Use your nose.

  • Breathe light and slow.
  • Inhale for 4-6 seconds, and exhale for 6-8 seconds.
  • Exercise: Box breathing: 4sec in, hold for 4sec, exhale for 4sec, hold for 4s; repeat.
  • Tape your mouth closed at night – this will help with snoring as well.
