HEALTH TIP | A BALANCED DAY
The Principle of 8-8-8 | A Healthy Lifestyle
Many things we do in our lives require structure and balance in order to create the best environment to nurture health and wellness. Much of what we do occur in the lifestyle that we set as a pace for how we run our lives, our household, and modeling that for family and children. These are traditions we will pass on from generation to generation and are memorable. It is important to observe and learn about lifestyle and habits. Changing certain aspects of lifestyle may mean the difference between staying healthy and aggravating diseases. For a balanced day, we recommend establishing the guidance of 8-8-8 rule. This purposefully sets aside 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work, and 8 hours for recreation.
8 HOURS FOR SLEEP
The 8 hours set aside for sleep is designated for our body to recharge, rest and reset. Much of natural healing and repair of internal organs takes place during these important hours and sleep promotes proper immune function and general body health and wellness.
8 HOURS FOR WORK
The 8 hours set aside for work at a job also includes school for students, and training hours and work-outs for professional athletes. The activities that are included in these hours engage, labor and challenge our mind and/or body and require focus, dedication and concentration.
8 HOURS FOR RECREATION
The 8 hours set aside for recreation and enjoyment include periods of relaxation, breaks, stretching, time for grocery shopping and preparing meals, meal time, family time, physical activities, exercise, church activities, and other social events. These hours are for enjoying life and participating in the lives of our loved ones. These hours are usually spaced out throughout the day from the moment that we wake up until bedtime.
We hope that daily structure of time will be evaluated to see if better balance could be achieved and restored in our daily routine with the principle of 8-8-8. The manner in which we choose to live life and the patterns that are developed are very important in the outcome of health and wellness.
