Social Determinants of Health

80% of health outcomes for a population can be traced back to the social determinants of health (SDOH), including the conditions within the places where people live, learn, work, and play (CareJourney, 2020). As a home to 40 families, with an average stay of 21 days, we have the chance to impact 80 percent of health outcomes, fostering resilience, enhancing overall mental health, and charting a clear path towards improved public health and overall wellbeing. We do so by following the Blue Zone Principles by National Geographic:

Move Naturally: Engage in regular physical activity through daily routines and activities, such as walking, gardening, or using active transportation, rather than relying heavily on modern conveniences.
Purpose: Cultivate a sense of purpose or “ikigai” in life, which provides a reason to wake up each day and a strong motivation to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Plant Slant: Consume a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and legumes while minimizing the intake of processed foods and meat.
80% Rule: Practice mindful eating and stop eating when you feel about 80% full, as a way to prevent overeating and maintain a healthy caloric intake.
Belong: Foster strong social connections and maintain close relationships with family, friends, and community members, promoting a sense of belonging and support.
Downshift: Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, napping, prayer, or spending time with loved ones, allowing for moments of calm and reflection.
Loved Ones First: Prioritize family and loved ones, making them a central focus in life and ensuring their well-being.
Right Tribe: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share healthy habits and values, as social networks heavily influence lifestyle choices.
