While at home, school or work you can enjoy power hour perfect health breaks every hour. Engage is some Egoscue Method strengthening and stretching breaks to build strength and release tension. Simple positions and postures allow you to strengthen and tone the cartilage, joints, ligaments, muscles, spine and tendons of the entire body. Be sure to focus some time on the back, neck and shoulders where most people hold a lot of stress and tension. Be sure to breathe deeply during these stretch break activities. (1-2 minutes per hour) These can even be done while you are on the phone, on hold or standing in a line.
Go for a power walk or meditate for 10 minutes before eating a healthy lunch based on what you think your body and brain need the most at the moment. On a nice day go outside and enjoy some sun shine while eating your healthy lunch. The change of scenery, fresh air and more relaxed environment will be much better for you than eating at you desk or a noisy restaurant. By making a healthy meal at home and brown bagging it you can avoid going out to lunch which will waste valuable energy, gasoline, money and time. Eating your perfect health lunch will save energy, gas, money, stress and time so you can enjoy the benefits of your meal more. Most people waste valuable energy and time during lunch and end up feeling more stressed and struggling over little problems.

Nutrient dense organic whole foods play a major role in maintaining and sustaining a healthy and long life. Prepare healthy foods for dinner and create a healthy meal environment without the radio or TV playing in the background. Classical or instrumental music is acceptable. Be sure to share something good that happened during the day and then say a prayer of gratitude for all the blessings in your life. (3 minutes for sharing and prayer) After dinner and before email or Facebook time read one educational article on exercise, fitness, health, longevity, nutrition or wellness. Subscribing to www.mercola.com for the newsletter and exercise videos is a free way to improve your knowledge for perfect health. (3-10 minutes)
If you watch TV or a movie in the evening be sure to avoid sitting on the couch and becoming a couch potato. Instead say out loud that you choose not to be a fat couch potato and instead choose to stand up or sit on a Swiss exercise ball while watching. You can alternate between the two. During the commercials do some squats or lunges to develop your muscles and stretch out your legs. (No Extra Time required and reducing the amount of TV watched frees up extra time)
