Movement Medicine
Movement is medicine. Spend time every day
moving and stretching to reconnect with your body.
The type of exercise isn’t as important as the habit of
regular movement.
Movement MedicineMove frequently
throughout the day. If you sit at work a reasonable
goal is to get up and move at least 3 times every hour
(every 20 minutes)
Deep Breathing – 4,7,8The lungs are the most
vulnerable organ in the autumn and winter months.
Deep breathing exercises can support and nourish our lungs and bring clean, fresh oxygen
to our cells.
Deep Breathing – 4,7,8Place one hand on your chest and one
hand on your abdomenInhale to a count of 4 through your
nose and deep into your bellyHold for 7 seconds
Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds
Repeat 10 times, twice per day
Restorative SleepSleep is essential to life and is
necessary for optimal immune function.
Restorative functions like muscle growth, tissue repair, protein
synthesis and cognitive processing occur during sleep.
Restorative SleepAdults need 7.5-8 hours of sleep per
night for optimal body functioning.
Get to bed at the same time each night and wake at the same time
each morning to establish healthy sleep habits.

nutrients for immune function.
