Nourish Your Body

 

To nourish your body (Ephesians 5:29-30) is to grow in virtue, which leads to true happiness. The goal is to be intentional about giving your body the right liquids, foods, and rest that it needs, starting with focusing on one of them and growing from there to focus on all three. The following are examples of ways to nourish your body every day:

​​

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

• Eat 3 healthy meals without snacking in between. 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.​
