What can we really control throughout our lifetime that may have an impact on our health? The answer, to an extent, is: a lot. We can shape our environment to better deal with roadblocks. We can control how and how much we move. We can control what we choose to put into our mouths. We can choose the attitude and outlook we take with us each day. We can choose to let motivation elude us, or figure out new ways to regain it. We can choose who we spend most of our time with and the influence those people have on the decisions we make – with or without them around. Many people feel helpless when it comes to balancing these factors. It doesn’t have to be difficult for it to last. It just has to be done in small, manageable steps. Learn, apply, evaluate, and adjust. MOVE Better EAT Smarter LIVE Happier Joseph A. Meier

More importantly, you’ll learn how to balance these nutrients to achieve optimal health. 2. Healthy Eating Patterns: Mediterranean, DASH, and More We will explore some of the most successful and research-backed eating patterns, such as the Mediterranean Diet, the DASH Diet, and vegetarianism. Each of these diets promotes longevity, improved cardiovascular health, and weight management. Mediterranean Diet: This section includes a breakdown of the Mediterranean Diet, renowned for its focus on whole grains, healthy fats like olive oil, and a high intake of vegetables and lean proteins like fish. Breakfast Example: Oatmeal with fresh fruit and a handful of almonds. Lunch Example: A salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, olive oil, grilled chicken, and whole-grain bread.
