Acknowledging and honoring the role of spirituality (purpose and meaning) in our health -- what we do in life, as well as how and why we do it.
Nutrition
eating whole non-processed nutritious foods
Evidence shows that cultures around the world that consume whole, non-processed, unadulterated food are healthier.

Healthy socializing and relationships are essential to healthy living. God wired us to be social beings. Studies show that we live longer, are healthier and happier when we are with those that we love and share our lives with.
Movement
being active and moving joyfully

Regular physical activity helps improve our overall health and fitness while reducing our risks for many chronic diseases.

Resilience
practicing stress protective activities
