request an appointmentWhat aspects of everyday life impact my wellness?
Many things influence your overall wellness, but four are particularly important:
Nutrition
Nutrition refers to everything you eat, drink, or consume, including your diet, water, vitamins and supplements, and the medications you take.
The food you eat directly influences your energy level and ability to focus throughout the day. Fast food might be easy and convenient, but it’s recommended you stick primarily to fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Sleep
Are you one of the millions of Americans who gets less than eight hours of sleep each night? Restful, rejuvenating sleep is directly tied to things like mood and memory.
Exercise
Regular exercise is a key part of wellness. The US Department of Health and Human Services recommends that you participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity every week.
Physical activity improves circulation and muscle strength, all while releasing endorphins.
Social relationships
Humans are social creatures and our relationships directly affect our mental and physical health. Dr. Sambunaris can help you evaluate your relationships and make suggestions that help you establish healthy boundaries and improved communication skills.
