BC Osteopathy

There are many ways that one can boost their health outside of the treatment room to improve overall health and longevity. Here are a few simple (not exhaustive) "Components of Health" that can be implemented into your daily lifestyle to benefit your long term health!

5 Components of Health:

1. Adequate sleep 😴

Getting a good nights 💤 is essential for processing the stresses of the days activities, not just physical but mental/emotional stresses as well. GROWTH and REPAIR of all body tissues occurs during sleep to prep itself for the following day. A consistently healthy sleep schedule can lead to more sustained energy levels and a more balanced mood! 😀

2. Water/hydration 💧

Proper hydration aids in maintaining proper cellular function of body tissues and metabolic processes.

3. Vitamins + Minerals 💊🧬🦠☀️

Getting your daily intake of essential vitamins and minerals helps to regulate physiological and cellular processes.

4. MOVEMENT! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🎾🏋️⛳️🏊‍♀️⛹️🏌️‍♂️🚵‍🤹‍♀️

Movement is necessary for the body to pump venous and lymphatics fluids back to the ❤️. So go out for a walk, play a round of Pickleball, or chase your cat/dog around the yard. Movement is movement and your body appreciates it!

5. Deep breathing exercises 💨🫁

Helps facilitate rib motion, activates the parasympathetic nervous system 🧘‍♂️ ie. increasing relaxation and reducing stress! 😌 Best practiced before you go to bed and when you get up in the morning:

Practicing this in the morning and evening allows you to end and begin your day in a more relaxed and less stressful state. 😁

The best part is these tips don't break the 🏦 and take very little ⏰ out of your day!✅


Bonus tip:

⬇️ your screen time 📱💻📺😵‍💫

Excessive screen time stimulates your nervous system and can make it difficult to fall asleep 😵‍💫. Try putting screens away an hour or two before bed to help prepare your nervous system 🧠 for a good nights sleep! 😴
