30-Day Longevity Challenge

Build habits for a vibrant life. Integrate core pillars: diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, social connections, and purpose.

Why This Challenge Works

Small, consistent actions compound: Studies show adopting multiple healthy habits can add years to healthspan. Focus on 3-5 daily habits, emphasizing diet (plant-rich), exercise (natural + strength), and sleep (7-9 hours).

Rules

Aim for 80% completion — grace over perfection.
Journal reflections weekly.
Hydrate (8+ glasses water/day) every day.
