WellnessWellness protocolAt Cincinnati Health Institute we believe that optimal health and wellness is achieved when the six pillars of health are addressed: Diet, Digestion, Detoxification, Stress, Fitness and Sleep ![]() DigestionProper digestion is crucial for optimal health. Gut health is at the forefront of wellness. The gut is thought to be the cornerstone of good health. ![]() DietProper nutrition is the fuel that powers our health and everything we do. A poor diet leads to poor digestion. ![]() StressAccording to Harvard Health, "The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. ... A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression." ![]() FitnessFitness doesn't have to mean hours in the gym. It does require movement and commitment to keep your body healthy. A 30 minute walk per day can often be enough for those that are already addressing a total wellness plan. ![]() SleepOver time, not getting enough sleep can be just as harmful as drunk driving, overeating, or not exercising and the consequences can be more severe than just drowsiness. |
