5FRx SLEEP To improve sleep quality, let’s try not to drink alcohol during the weekday evenings.

5FRx "EAT" This week let’s try to eat vegetables at every meal! The International Journal of Epidemiology published a meta-analysis stating that eating 800g of fruits and vegetables each day can reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, and stroke as well as overall mortality. Eating whole real foods is the best way to absorb the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals our bodies need.
