Lifestyle X Factors

Our focus is generally on health and fitness from a perspective of eating well and exercising, but that isn't the whole story. Other factors play a big role if neglected. You can eat the best foods in the world and exercise as much as you would like, but if you are ignoring these other "X Factors," then it will substantially reduce the effectiveness of your otherwise healthful lifestyle. Almost like the cliche of a chain, you are only as strong as your weakest link! In this section we will discuss factors such as psychological issues, toxins we put in our bodies, external stressors, and sleep deprivation. These things may seem obvious, but need to be addressed in order for an ideal lifestyle.
