More and more research is showing that the key to lifelong good health is what experts call lifestyle medicine making simple changes in diet, exercise and stress management. To help you turn that knowledge into results, weve put together this manageable list of health and wellness action steps. We asked three experts a naturopathic physician, a nutritionist, and a personal trainer to tell us the top five simple-but-significant lifestyle-medicine changes they recommend. Besides giving you three different takes on how to pick your health battles, this list gives you choices you can make without being whisked off to a reality-show fat farm or buying a second freezer for those calorie-controlled, pre-portioned frozen meals.
If you have trouble sleeping, try relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga. Or eat a small bedtime snack of foods shown to help shift the body and mind into sleep mode: whole grain cereal with milk, oatmeal, cherries or chamomile tea. Darken your room more and turn your clock away from you. Write down worries or stressful thoughts to get them out of your head and onto the page. This will help you put them into perspective so you can quit worrying about them.
