Nourish Your Body

Nourishing your body consists of what you eat and how you move.

Both nutrition and movement are required to achieve optimal health. You must fuel your body with the whole foods it needs to perform, recover and heal and move your body in a way that enhances mobility, strength, endurance and flexibility. 

You Are What You Eat!

Your body regenerates all cells within seven years and it’s entire skeletal structure within 10 years. That means your body literally changes and is built upon what you eat. 

You are a high performance vehicle that runs best on  nutrient dense fuel. 

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION STEPS:

Here’s how to best nourish your body with food:

  • Drink enough water
    • 1/2 your body weight in pounds = oz required per day (more if you’re active)
  • Eat whole foods
    • Fresh fruits and veggies (at least 7-10 servings per day) or half your diet
    • Complex carbohydrates (such as whole grains) 1/4 of your diet
    • Lean protein (such as beans and lentils) 1/4 of your diet
    • Raw, unsalted nuts and seeds (1/3 cup per day)
  • Supplement your diet

Movement Is A Gift

Your body was made to move. Movement is what what keeps you strong, limber and able to do the things you love. 

Here’s how best to nourish your body with movement:

  • Resistance Training:
    • Posture and core stability training with body weight (yoga and body weight exercises)
    • Mobility (proper movement at each joint) with body weight
    • Add weights (bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, balls, barbells) to train endurance (high rep, low weight), strength (higher weights, lower reps) and power (explosive movements)
    • GOAL: 2-4x/week
  • Cardiovascular Training
    • Increase heart rate above resting (walking, running, cycling, swimming), minimum 30 minutes, most days of the week (one/two days of rest)
  • Flexibility Training
    • Stretch most days of the week, especially after workouts
  • Balance Training
    • Work on whenever possible
