1-Month Health & Longevity Plan
Focus: Diet, Exercise, Sleep
Week 1: Build Foundations
Diet
- Add veggies to every meal: Start with ½ cup (e.g., spinach in eggs, bell peppers in wraps, side salad with dinner).
- Hydrate: Drink 1 glass of water before each meal.
Exercise
- Daily 10-minute walk: Aim for morning or after meals.
Sleep
- Set a consistent bedtime: Choose a time (e.g., 10 PM) and stick to it, even on weekends.
Week 2: Upgrade Habits
Diet
- Swap refined carbs: Replace white bread/pasta with whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat).
- Limit sugary drinks: Replace soda/juice with water or herbal tea.
Exercise
- Add strength 3x/week: Do 10 squats, 5 modified push-ups (knees or wall), and a 20-second plank daily.
Sleep
- No screens 1 hour before bed: Read, stretch, or listen to calming music instead.
Week 3: Boost Intensity
Diet
- Reduce added sugar: Skip desserts/sweets; snack on nuts, fruit, or yogurt.
- Prep snacks: Keep veggies/hummus or apple + peanut butter handy.
Exercise
- Walk 20 minutes daily: Add 1-minute brisk intervals (e.g., walk faster for 1 minute, slow for 2).
Sleep
- Wind down routine: Try 5 minutes of deep breathing or a warm bath before bed.
Week 4: Sustain & Reflect
Diet
- Plan 3 meals/week: Write a simple menu (e.g., oatmeal + fruit for breakfast, grilled chicken + veggies for dinner).
Exercise
- Try a new activity: Yoga, cycling, or a dance video (20 minutes, 2x/week).
Sleep
- Evaluate: Track sleep quality (notes or app) and adjust (e.g., if tired, go to bed 30 mins earlier).
Key Tips for All Areas:
- Track progress: Use a journal/app to log meals, steps, and sleep.
- Be kind: Miss a day? Reset—consistency > perfection.
