The Three Pillars of Health

Health is fundamentally supported by three key pillars: nutrition, exercise, and sleep, with sleep being the most crucial of the three. A consistent sleep schedule of seven to nine hours is essential to ensure optimal performance, as inadequate rest can lead to unhealthy cravings for junk food and hinder training readiness. Establishing a solid foundation in sleep can significantly affect overall health, performance biometrics, and energy levels. Maintaining focus on these fundamentals allows individuals to build a consistent routine that promotes enduring health benefits.
