Responsible Wellness and Preventive Health
September 28, 2021The goal of preventive health is to promote health and well-being and prevent disease, disability and death. And Sunwarrior is here to help you with that goal.
While it was a long time ago when Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” the last couple of years have highlighted the importance of safeguarding health and wellness with vigilance.
But where do we find that ounce of prevention?
There are many things you can do, but here are a few steps to responsible wellness and preventative health that you can take right now.
Increase Clean Protein Intake
Every day, your body produces and repairs skin, muscle, and bone. But your body needs nutrition to do all that work. Adopting healthy dietary habits is essential when we’re talking about health and preventive wellness.
Increasing your clean protein intake helps your body do all that cell and muscle repair. Protein is a basic building block of life and promotes satiety. But you want to keep your protein sources clean and quality so that you feel and perform at your best.
Stay hydrated
Staying hydrated promotes cardiovascular health, energy, and brain function. It also cleanses your body of toxins and treats ailments.
Get Your Vitamins!
Taking a clean, quality multivitamin guarantees your body is getting everything it requires. Consuming vitamins and minerals made from real, whole foods is the beginning of a healthy you. But you may not always have the time or means to eat all the whole foods necessary to get the vitamins and minerals your body needs. Approximately one billion people around the globe are deficient in vitamin D and omega 3, both of which have important functions in health and wellbeing.
This is why supplements sourced from quality whole foods is a huge help. Sunwarrior packs nutrition from Real Aloe Vera and our proprietary vitamin blend into Vitamin Mineral Rush to provide your body with energy and health.
Basic Knowledge of Your Personal Health
Knowing the health history of your family allows you to assess your own health risks. If you know certain kinds of cancer run in your family, you can make sure your family doctor knows as well so you can get screenings more frequently. Knowing certain predispositions might exist helps encourage lifestyle shifts and dietary changes that can keep you from falling prey to your genetics. You can get your genetic medical history by talking to your parents and grandparents about their health. If you are adopted or don’t have access to living relatives, you can get DNA testing done that can provide genetic insights regarding your health.
Taking responsibility for your own health means talking to your health care provider and working out a game plan for your wellbeing. It means asking questions and being completely comfortable that your health care provider is aligned with your game plan. Make certain to set up regular checkups and screenings to make sure unwanted illness doesn’t sneak into your health plans.
Move More
Getting up and moving provides an incredible leg up (pun intended) on your journey to personal wellness. Everyone knows that exercise and eating right are the perfect pairing for good health but they always assume exercise requires a gym membership and hours and hours of rigid discipline every day. The truth is that you only need 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise each day, and this is not a bad thing because a little bit of movement improves mood and decreases stress. Exercise strengthens your bones and muscles and improves sleep quality.
Get Enough Sleep
Getting enough sleep can boost your immune system so it is ready for battle when germs and viruses invade. It also increases mood and memory while promoting productivity and energy. Sleep supports heart health and is an all around benefit for your life. So taking responsibility for your health means getting into bed early enough to allow you to get the amount of sleep needed. Put away digital devices well before it’s time to close your eyes so your mind can relax. If sleep is restless due to overactive nerves or stress, you may want to try magnesium. Magnesium is a vital mineral that enhances your natural cellular and electrical impulses to help you sleep better.
If you don’t take time to be healthy now, you will have to take time to be sick later. Taking proactive, yet responsible, steps to prevent illness is the key to a long and happy life. After all, no one else is going to look after your health with more diligence than you will.
