Finally, on Friday, the theme is quality sleep. Sleep is essential for good health, and many people struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep or even get enough restful sleep each night. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend that adults ages 18–60 sleep at least seven hours each night to promote optimal health and well-being. Take this day to reflect on your own sleep habits and find ways to improve the quality and quantity of your sleep.

On Tuesday, the focus is nutrition. ACLM recommends a plant-predominant eating pattern, meaning the bulk of the foods consumed should come from whole-food sources like fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts/seeds, beans, etc. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential for good health. Take this day to learn more about the pillar of nutrition and try incorporating some new healthy recipes into your diet. Small changes can lead to big improvements in your overall health and well-being.

Sunday started off with the pillar of stress management. Everyone is impacted by stress in one way or another. It can positively and negatively impact our physical and mental health. During this day, we encourage individuals and clinicians to take some time to reflect on negative stress triggers and find healthy ways to manage them. Whether it’s meditation, deep breathing, or taking a walk outside, there are various ways to reduce harmful stress and improve your overall well-being.

Monday’s theme is physical activity. Regular movement and exercise are essential for maintaining your health. The 2019 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends adults accumulating at least 150 – 300 minutes of activity per week. This can look different for everyone, and it is important to find something enjoyable to achieve those minutes. Whether you prefer running, cycling, swimming, or any other type of physical activity, make sure to get moving on this day! Even just a short walk can make a big difference in your overall health.
