Coach Celia Dubey 10 Daily Minimums For Minimum Good Health

10 Daily Minimums for Minimum Health

During this Monday’s Silver Sneakers & Splash classes, I was inspired to share some daily minimum requirements in an effort to help my students maintain good health. So, I want to thank my Silver sneakers and Splash students for your inspiration in coming up with this list of 10 daily minimums for minimal health.

Please keep in mind these are MINIMUMS. We can always do better to reach optimal health. I want to emphasize if we meet ALL of these daily minimum requirements then we will be well on our way to optimal health. As you read the list, give yourself a point for each one that you consistently meet daily. If you earn 10 then that is 100% and you are an A student. If you only reach 7 out of 10 then that is 70%, with a grade of C. So what kind of grade do you want to earn when it comes to your health? Do you want to be an A student, an average student, or a failing student when it comes to your health?

1.

Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes daily. Exercise is essential for countless reasons. Being sedentary is dangerous. We live very comfortable lives and none of us are working to live. None of us are growing our own food, hunting, or gathering our own food or running from prey. We must be active every day to promote healthy circulation. Elevating your heart rate to 75% of your maximum effort helps pump blood which carries oxygen to all your vital organs for healthy organic functions. For exercise to count, you should be working at an intensity of 75% of your perceived maximum exertion. You should be working so you are sweating because the main benefit of sweating is that you rid your body of toxins. So, if you can go run errands after you exercise without taking a shower and you are not embarrassed at how sweaty you are then that does not count as exercise.

2.

Move. Every hour stand up & move for 5 minutes. No matter how active you are in the morning if you spend the rest of your day sitting in front of a computer then this can be devasting to healthy circulation that your body needs. Good circulation is key so that oxygen is delivered to all your cells, muscles, tissues, and organs. Standing up and moving is essential to maintain healthy circulation.

3.

Hydrate. Drinking water is key to maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes for normal organic function and circulation. To avoid dehydration, where your electrolytes are depleted and the consistency of your blood becomes viscous making it harder to pump blood through your body to all your muscles and organs, you must drink enough water. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily. If you weigh 150 lbs then drink 75 ounces of water daily. If you live in a hot humid climate like we do, then drinking 75% of your body weight is better. And if you are highly active and live in a hot humid climate then you should drink equal to your body weight in ounces daily. So, if you weigh 150 lbs you should aim to drink 150 ounces of water daily.

4.

Eat FOUR fist size servings of RAW fruits AND FIVE fist size servings of RAW veggies a day. Enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins help you rebuild cells you are damaging daily. The only source of vitamins, nutrients, and enzymes is in raw food. If you cook anything over 118 degrees then you are cooking the enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins out of the food. By eating 4 raw fruits AND 5 raw veggies you will also meet your daily minimum requirement of fiber. Fiber is essential to maintain a healthy body weight by helping you eliminate waste in your body. Keep in mind after the food you eat has gone through your intestines and sits in the colon

22

November/December

it is now toxic to your body. So, the longer your waste sits in your colon the more toxins are released in your blood stream and organs. Fiber helps you eliminate that waste.

5.

Sleep 8 hours a day. Sleep is vital to maintain a healthy endocrine system, so your hormones are in check. If your hormones are not in check and your cortisol levels are high, then you are stressing your body and stress has a detrimental response on the physiology of your body. When your body is stressed your arteries, capillaries, & veins are constricted making it harder to transport oxygen to all your organs including your brain keeping you from thinking clearly. Ideally, it’s best to sleep 8 hours at night so if you have to nap to add up to 8 solid hours per day then that is ok.

6.

Socialize. As human beings we have a strong need to connect with others and have a sense of belonging. Healthy relationships are a huge mood booster and help keep our hormone levels healthy. Interact in person with at least 3 people that you do not live with every day for at least 1 minute per person. Do your best to reach out and interact with people you find to be positive and are enriching relationships. Social media and texts do not count. Phone calls, zooms, & face times can count. But in person human contact is best.

7.

Think. Your brain is a muscle and like all muscles if you do not use it, you lose it. We need our synapses to fire, in an effort to maintain healthy cognitive functions. Read 10 minutes a day (try to read positive enriching content and stay away from the news) or learn something new every day (yes this counts) or solve a problem, puzzle, crossword, or sudoku.

8.

Get outside for at least 10 minutes every day. Get out in nature and breathe fresh air. Trees are the source of oxygen and fresh air is the best source of oxygen. Vitamin D (from the sun) is essential for one’s mood and proper nutrient absorption. The sun is the source of all energy so get outside and enjoy it. If you ever find yourself needing clarity or having a hard time in making a decision, go outside take a deep breath, and you will see the best choice will be clearer.

9.

Gratitude. An attitude of gratitude is paramount to our happiness, being positive, and having sound mental health. Take time to take a deep breath and be grateful for at least one thing each day.

10.

Laugh out loud at least once daily! Laughing is a great stress relief. Laugh at yourself. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Choose happy positive lighthearted content to read, listen to, or watch on tv. Watch a comedy on TV over the news or a violent drama. I think we can all agree that we have only one opportunity to live our best life and that our happiness is paramount.

In summary 1. Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes daily.

2. Stand up and move for 5 minutes every hour.

3. Hydrate. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily. If you weigh 150 lbs then drink 75 ounces of water daily. If you are highly active and or live in a hot humid climate like we do then drink equal to your body weight so if you weigh 150 lbs drink 150 ounces of water daily.

4. Eat FOUR fist size servings of RAW fruits AND FIVE fist size servings of RAW veggies a day 5. Sleep 8 hours per day.

6. Socialize with at least 3 people that you do not live with every day for at least 1 minute each.

7. Think. Read for 10 minutes a day or learn something new every day, or solve a problem, puzzle, crossword, or sudoku.

8. Get outside for at least 10 minutes every day.

9. Be grateful. Take a deep breath and be grateful for one thing each day.

10. Laugh out loud at least once daily!

It seems like every time we listen to news, check the internet, or read updates on social media, there are not only stories about cyclists been maimed or killed by negligent drivers. This not only happens in states like Texas or California, but is increasingly occurring on an almost daily basis in Florida.

Perhaps even more disturbing is the frequency with which the driver’s are not charged with ANY violation, or if charged, it’s for a minimal infraction not commensurate with the damage/carnage done.

As an attorney specializing in representing cyclists/triathletes injured or worse by the sometimes intentional actions of drivers, or at least grossly negligent acts by them, I can confirm yet another scary reality for all of us who love cycling: the clear and obvious bias shown on a daily basis by law enforcement. As I write this, I am reminded I have been trying to have a face to face meeting with leadership of the St. Petersburg Police Department about the “how’s and why’s” of their policies that seem to encourage either not appropriately charging motorists’ for their ongoing dangerous if not intentional actions against the cycling public. My client, who is an extremely active individual in our community, and I have been promised meetings; been impliedly led to believe there is interest in improving the current situation, only to be rebuffed in even an initial meeting to begin the conversation.

It is imperative that when you are involved in a vehicle initiated crash or injury, you demand the law enforcement agency involved treat you, the cyclist, like a full fledged member of the community, not an outlaw who “deserves what he/she gets” by daring to use to streets they are tasked with keeping safe.

OPEN WATER SWIM IS FOR EVERYBODY

Our community is witnessing more and more the increasing amount of Open water swim activities and events, open water swim or OWS can take place anywhere that isn’t a swimming pool but can offer a safe place to do some swimming. The sport has increased in popularity since the 10km Marathon in the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008.

Open water swimming is for everyone of all abilities and all ages, as long as you have the ability and confidence to swim in different bodies of water, lakes, rivers and oceans, this could be fun, but always be cautious of the conditions, because they are always different and makes the practice more interesting and it could make you a stronger swimmer.

Open Water Swim demands a handful of techniques unique to the discipline such as backstroke, turns around buoys, drafting and sighting, You can start practicing these techniques at the pool with your friends. The proximity of swimmers means there’s a fair amount of physicality as people hustle and bumping against other swimmers to gain position.

Open water swimming is a definitely a different experience than the pool swim, all the swimmers should try at least once! Without the confines of lane ropes or walls, it’s liberating, adventurous and unique and is for everybody.

In the Tampa Bay Area, we have many open water swim opportunities for everyone, with meet up groups at different locations, different days of the week, We also organize events and trips to enhance the experience of this fascinating sport.

Join us and be part of our Open Water Swim Community, I also offer lessons and clinics where you will learn techniques that will help you in your swimming, we could work on your breathing control, Sighting, speed, but most importantly we would work on you being more comfortable and efficient in the water.

Don’t forget! Open Water Swim is for everybody!
