Five Golden Steps Towards a Radiant Health and Wellness Lifestyle

Adequate Sleep and Rest

The third golden step involves acknowledging the importance of rest and adequate sleep. Sleep is fundamental to overall health and wellness; yet, in the hustle and bustle of modern life, it often takes a backseat.

The CDC affirms that adults need at least seven hours of sleep each night. However, nearly a third of adults don't achieve this. Adequate sleep improves cognition, mood, and immune response, decreasing the likelihood of conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Develop good sleep habits such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a calm sleep environment, and limiting screen time before bed. Coupled with adequate rest periods during your waking hours to alleviate stress, these practices ensure that your body recovers and rejuvenates optimally.
