How to live healthily

How to live healthily

A healthy lifestyle is not solely related to exercise or diet.

Living healthily comes down to the two main areas that determine a well-rounded life:

  • Body
  • Mind

Body

Body

Start treating your body like a temple.

Ask yourself: "How do I want my body to look and perform for the rest of my life?"

A healthy physique comes down to three aspects:

  1. Exercise
  2. Sleep
  3. Diet

1. Exercise

1. Exercise

Here are some of the reasons you must start exercising:

  • Improves physical and mental health
  • Boosts mood and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety
  • Reduces the risk of chronic diseases
  • Extends lifespan
  • Improves brain function and cognitive abilities
  • Promotes better sleep

A non-negotiable should be going to the gym. This will boost your confidence to the roof, improve your social skills, and teach you how to live through discipline and dedication.

2. Sleep

2. Sleep

The trajectory of your future will change significantly if you improve your sleep.

Sleep is essential for:

  • Rest and repair
  • Consolidate memories
  • Reinforce brain function
  • Enhances focus
  • Boosts mood

Improve your sleep with these tips:

  1. Aim for 7.5 / 9 hours of sleep each night. The optimal time to wake up is at the end of a sleep cycle. Sleep cycles last an hour and a half each.
  2. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. Choose a comfortable wake-up and bedtime, and stick to it.
  3. No screens two hours before bedtime.
  4. Create a relaxing bedtime routine.

3. Diet

3. Diet

The food regimen I switched to is composed of:

  • Source of protein: white meat, red meat, and fish. Eggs, legumes, and nuts.
  • Source of carbohydrates: whole grain bread, pasta, and rice. Lots of fruits and vegetables, and honey.
  • Source of fats: grass-fed cow butter, nuts, olive oil.

I couldn’t recommend this nutrition plan more. It is optimized for energy levels, as well as all-round health, and testosterone levels for men.

What you eat is fuel for your body. Living healthily starts by giving your body good fuel.

Mind

So, we just covered the 3 BIGs of physical well-being. Most guides you can find would stop there, but not this one. The mind is as important (if not more) as the body when it comes to living healthily.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
