Goal: build a few simple habits you can sustain. Focus areas: diet, movement, sleep. Keep it easy and consistent.

Week 1 – Reset the basics
Diet

• Drink a full glass of water after waking and before each meal.
• Add one fruit or vegetable to every meal.
• Reduce sugary drinks; replace with water or unsweetened tea.

Exercise

• Walk 10–15 minutes daily.
• Do 5 minutes of light mobility (neck rolls, shoulder circles, gentle squats).

Sleep

• Pick a consistent bedtime and wake time (within ~30 min daily).
• Stop screens 30 minutes before bed.
• Get morning sunlight for 5–10 minutes.

Week 2 – Build consistency
Diet

• Aim for balanced meals: protein + fiber + healthy fat.
• Example: eggs + fruit, chicken salad, beans and rice with vegetables.
• Avoid heavy late-night snacking.

Exercise

• Walk 20 minutes 5 days this week.

Week 3 – Improve quality

    (2–3 sets each)

Sleep

Week 4 – Lock in habits
Diet

• Review what helps you sleep best and stick with it.

Simple daily checklist
