Five Essential Ingredients to Stay Healthy
My health journey started with our company, Life Priority, which was founded in 1994, to support and educate health-conscious individuals who want to live a healthier, active lifestyle.
I feel great and am in pretty good shape, despite turning 67 recently. I am thrilled to say that I am not hampered by any major aches or pains and currently take no prescription medications. I strive to live out every day to its fullest potential. I may have been able to run faster when I was younger, but I would never trade that for the muscle strength, flexibility, and knowledge that I have today.
My point is that it is never too late to start implementing healthy lifestyle strategies to enhance the quality of your life. Thirty years ago my husband, Greg, and I were introduced to two people named Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw who totally changed our thought process on the value of quality supplements and their effect on aging. If you’re not familiar with their names, allow me to introduce them to you. Durk and Sandy are scientists and researchers who have studied the aging process since the late 60’s when their book, Life Extension, was written for medical doctors to help educate them on the value nutrition played in staying healthy. What we learned from them totally changed our thought process on the value of quality supplements and their effect on aging.
The benefits of what Greg and I have learned from Durk and Sandy have resulted in a healthier lifestyle for us and our family. As a result, I have five basics for good health that I embrace and want to share with you.
Themes to carry forward
Notice
Start with the pattern you can actually see
Energy, sleep, digestion, mood, movement, and recovery all leave clues. Paying attention to the pattern makes the next step more useful.
Simplify
A smaller routine is easier to keep
Choose one or two habits that fit your real week. Food quality, hydration, movement, sleep, and stress recovery usually matter before complexity.
Support
Match supplements to a specific priority
A focused supplement routine works best when it supports a clear goal and sits alongside the basics you already repeat.
