TriVita is concerned with helping people live healthier, more joyful lives, and we know that finding an overall sense of wellness comes from living a healthy lifestyle. There is a need to find balance between the physical, emotional and spiritual areas of our lives. That’s why we have developed the 10 Essentials for Healthy Living. These are a series of easy-to-follow-and helpful tips designed to help our members enjoy their lives to the fullest.

1. Breathe Deeply – Air is the cornerstone of life. Every moment of every day your body exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen to keep each cell in your body alive and functioning.

2. Drink Water – Water is essential for everything your body does. In fact, you are more than 70 percent water! Nutrient absorption, blood flow, respiration, elimination, and your ability to see and hear require adequate consumption of pure, clean water.

3. Sleep Peacefully – Sleep is the only time your body has to repair and rejuvenate every organ and system in your body. Sleep deprivation causes cellular damage, and limits the production of enzymes and hormones your body needs to keep your cells healthy, and prevent premature aging.

4. Eat Nutritiously – Food has a powerful impact on your body. Everyday, food, in large part, determines how you feel and how your body functions.

5. Enjoy Activity – Your body was created to move – and move often. Activity increases your circulation, speeding oxygen, nutrients and water to your cells.

6. Give and Receive Love – As you give and receive love, freely and generously, you will be blessed with meaningful, lifelong relationships and cherished memories that will bring joy in happy times, and strength and peace in difficult times.

7. Be Forgiving – By forgiving yourself and others of past and present mistakes, real or perceived, you will gain freedom from negativity and guilt that will strengthen you and those you love.

8. Practice Gratitude – Sincere gratitude will lift and inspire you. Recognizing and appreciating all you have empowers you to find and express true joy.

9. Develop Acceptance – When you develop the ability to identify and accept the circumstances in your life you cannot change, yet strive to make positive changes whenever and wherever you can, you will discover lasting peace and hope.

10. Develop a Relationship with God – You build a relationship with God in the same way you build a relationship with those around you – through sharing and listening.
