In their words
“I would also add some form of movement and mobility to be supple and not stationary, aka a sitting duck”
a registered nutritional therapist

Repeated physiological stress from movement optimizes responsiveness to psychological and cognitive stressors.
Movement supports overall health and may improve sleep quality.
