Bare Minimum Mondays – 11/24/2025
Move
Walk briskly for 5 minutes before dinner. Accumulated short bouts of activity (<10 minutes) improve cardiometabolic markers in adults.
Eat
Include a source of plant-protein (beans, lentils, peas) in one meal. Higher intake of legumes is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk.
Sleep
Dim ambient lights in your living space at least 30 minutes before bed. Lower light exposure in the evening supports circadian rhythm and better sleep quality.
Manage
Write down one thing you handled well this week. Reflective journaling about personal accomplishments supports mental well-being and reduces stress.
