Unlocking the Secrets of Optimal Health | #6

If you’ve been following our podcast so far, then you would have heard Dr Ross mention the 5 keys to optimal health. But what exactly are they?  In this week's episode, Dr. Walker and Dr. Gina Cleo takes a deep dive into each of the 5 keys, discussing the evidenced-based science behind each and why they matter for optimal health. Dr Ross developed the 5 keys framework himself, which he not only uses with his patients, but with people all around the globe. He’s even written a number of best selling books on this exact topic! The first key? Aim to quit addictions including smoking, excessive booze, and vaping Wine? A glass is civilized, but don't overdo it. More than two drinks each and every day, you’re putting yourself in harm's way. ?  Thirdly, good quality sleep is vital, so ditch those electronics and aim for 7-8 hours of shut-eye. Eating well is simple: less processed junk, more natural foods. Mediterranean diet is the way – fruits, veggies, some meat, dairy, and olive oil. Exercise is a must, and sitting too much is as bad as smoking. Stress can be a silent killer, but happiness is the antidote. Small choices add up to big health gains. So, sip wine, brew coffee, and get moving. For expert advice and a dose of humor, tune in to Eat, Live, and Move with Miyagi. It's the key to your best life. Don't miss it!
