Creating a healthy lifestyle can lead to more benefits than running a marathon or having a low body mass index number. What we eat, how we exercise, and how we purposefully relieve stress is all tied together in how we are as parents, spouses, employees, leaders and how we interact with those around us. Taking small steps and creating new habits to become your healthiest you is easier than you think. Our hope is to give practical advice and make a case that you can have a fuller life than you currently are living. Being happy begins with understanding your body, and what you do to it can dictate so many different outcomes.
