Dr Libby’s top wellbeing tips

Eat primarily whole real food

Whole real foods provide more nutrients and antioxidants and cut out the preservatives and artificial flavours, artificial colours and artificial sweeteners that have infiltrated the food supply.

Make water your main drink

That doesn’t mean don’t drink anything else, but make water your main drink that you have across the day. Staying hydrated is crucial to how you think, feel and look.

Find a type of movement you enjoy

We know that being sedentary is not good for us. It’s not good for our lymphatic system or for maintaining muscle mass. Around 150 minutes of movement a week is really important. Find something that you love, because then it’s not a chore. It could just be a 30 minute daily walk.

Sleep

Our biological requirement as adults is seven to nine hours and we can’t fight our biology. If you have trouble sleeping, make it a priority to find the road into your sleep challenges, as this will help you out of them.

Let ourselves have what we have

So often we’re thinking about what we want life to look like or what we want to achieve. A huge part of having great health is letting ourselves have what we already have, because I think that’s what joy is all about. Joy gives us an irreplaceable depth of energy, and with that energy, we can look after ourselves better and that has a big ripple effect out across the world.
