Make lifestyle choices that promote optimal health and wellbeing. When we make positive changes our lives become easier and healthier.

2. Exercise

Do regular exercise at least three times per week. Regular physical activity reduces symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, fatigue, arthritis, high blood pressure and diabetes; promotes good sleep; boosts immunity and helps prevent chronic disease.

3. Sleep

Get enough rest each night. Optimal sleep is six hours of sound and refreshing sleep. Lack of sleep causes poor decision-making skills, impaired concentration, and slow reaction time.

4. Nutrition

Eat a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Include plenty of low-fat milk and dairy products. Choose lean meats and poultry, fish, nuts, and seeds. Limit intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.

5. Mind-body medicine

Take time for self-care activities such as relaxation, meditation, massage, yoga, breathing exercises, and prayer. Engage in activities that reduce stress and increase joy and purposefulness throughout life.

6. Medication

Adequate sleep and exercise help keep symptoms under control. If necessary, consider using prescription medications (e.g., antidepressants). There are many other natural approaches to promoting mental wellness that may have fewer side effects than medication. Try them first!

7. Relationships

Develop meaningful relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Enjoy social interaction and support. Get involved in community service projects. Volunteer for work that makes a difference.
