From the beginning, the Habits of Health were designed around longevity. The goal was not simply to reach a healthy weight but rather to unlock more years of vibrant, active living. As you master your Habits of Healthy Eating and Motion, you should also be thinking about the bigger picture of your health and addressing other Habits of Health as well.
