Four Pillars of Health:

How to Perform

at Your Best by Kristen Horler, MS Franchising is not for the faint of heart, but you already know that. The question is, are you surviving or thriving throughout your workday? Numerous studies show that working long hours, enduring long periods of stress, and not prioritizing nutrition and rest can lead to poor health. Your work could be negatively contributing to your weight, your health, your anxiety, and so much more.

If you spend at least eight hours working each day, how are you spending the other 16 hours of your daily life? Are you exercising? Getting plenty of sleep? Drinking lots of water? Eating nutritious foods?

Ordering in fast food because you didn’t have time to make lunch can happen. What may seem like a good idea at the time could actually be contributing to increased fatigue, brain fog, poor digestion, poor sleep and overall decreased performance.
