Nourish Your Body

 

Scripture tells us that "no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it" (Ephesians 5:29-30) and that "whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). The goal of this habit is to be intentional about nourishing your body every day with the right liquids, foods, and rest that it needs. The habit strategies and these examples will help you to nourish your body every day:

​​

• Drink 8 tall glasses (approx. 64 ounces) of water. Adjust for body type, activity level, environment, and health.

• Eat 3 healthy meals without snacking before/after meals. Adjust as above.

• Sleep for 7-9 hours. Optimize sleep with a pre-sleep routine of no food within 3 hours, no drinks within 2 hours, and no screen time within 1 hour of sleeping.​
