"Many hold erroneous beliefs about health "optimization." The “basics” are extremely effective.
By “basics,” we’re talking:
🏋️ Getting 2-3 hours of cardio plus 2 resistance training sessions per week
🍲 Eating 70 to 80 percent minimally processed and whole foods
🍎 Consuming 5 combined servings of fruits and vegetables daily
💪 Aiming for 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily
😴 Sleeping 7 to 9 hours per night
🍸 Drinking in moderation, or less
🚭 Avoiding smoking
🪷 Managing stress and recovering proportionately
💗 Maintaining positive relationships and prioritizing weekly social time with loved ones
🧑⚕️ Keeping up with regular doctor and dentist appointments
When it comes to living both a healthy and enjoyable life, the above list delivers probably 85 percent of the results, if not more."
