1-Month Health & Longevity Plan

This simple plan targets three key areas: Diet, Exercise, and Sleep. (Stress management is woven in via sleep and daily habits.) It's designed for beginners—focus on consistency over perfection. Track progress in a journal or app. Aim for 80% adherence. Consult a doctor before starting, especially if you have health conditions.

Weekly Structure

• Days 1-7 (Week 1): Build foundations—focus on habits, not intensity.
• Days 8-14 (Week 2): Add slight progression.
• Days 15-21 (Week 3): Increase volume/duration.
• Days 22-28 (Week 4): Refine and sustain; assess what works.
