Health - not for the faint hearted

Let’s face it: our lives depend on it! 

So what’s the secret to a long, happy and healthy life?

According to Blue Zones, the lifestyle habits of the longest living people can be attributed to nine common denominators:

1. Movement - Natural forms of exercise: from walking to the shops, to gardening, or dancing with friends 💃

2. Purpose - Know why you get up every morning

3. Slow down - A conscious, purposeful routine to dissipate stress

4. 80% Rule - Eat until you’re 80% full and not too late

5. Eat mostly plant foods - from vegetables to whole grains, beans and pulses

6. Wine - A small glass with friends - not all at once!

7. Belonging - Spiritual connection and faith

8. Loved ones first - Strong relationships with our nearest and dearest

9. Right Tribe - our social networks shape our health behaviours, so choose your tribe wisely

In summary:

let’s connect,

choose our food wisely,

consider our mindset and outlook,

and get moving!

(Oh and don’t forget that wine 🍷!)
