Health is wealth

Being healthy is simple but not easy. Over time, I've started to land on a few core things that seem to be good and work for me. Understanding this helps me tune out a lot of diet / biohacking noise.

• Exercise
  • Resistance/HIIT training a couple times a week
  • Cardio a couple times a week
  • Zone 2 cardio, which for a 30 year old is a heart rate of 112-131bpm, a couple times a week
• Diet - mostly just shop on the outside of the grocery store (produce/meat/dairy), drink a cup of coffee in the morning
• Do something contemplative each day, going for a walk works
• Sleep - 8-9 hours/night, important for physical recovery but also learning
• Sunlight and vitamin D, especially in winter. Sun maybe the most closely correlated item here to good mood, after exercise
• Spend time with friends
• Tracking/quantified self - waiting for apple watch to have optical glucose monitoring
• Things to not do
  • Too much sugar, booze, or caffeine
  • Too much social media consumption
