Bodies

Bodies Layer 2 – 1.1 Health 1.2 Fitness

1.1 Health

Working Definition: How well the body works.

Health Level 3 – 1.1.1 Food 1.1.2 Stress 1.1.3 Recovery

Health Level 4 (Food): 1.1.1.1 Look 1.1.1.2 Feel 1.1.1.3 Perform

Health Level 5 – 1.1.1.1 Look: Skin (clarity) and Body Composition (amount of fat and where it’s stored.

Skin clarity is an indicator of immune function.

Digestion (how your stomach feels and the type, frequency and experience of poops) is an indicator of how well your digestive system is working (and proper function is essential for both getting nutrients out of food and as a protective barrier against pathogens).
