Basic Lifestyle Practices for Health and Longevity

  • Exercise is crucial but constitutes only about 5% of our day; the rest 95% of our behaviors significantly impact our health.
  • Stress management is key; awareness of stress triggers and practicing efficiency can help alleviate daily stress, along with techniques like meditation and deep breathing.
  • Sun exposure plays a critical role in regulating our circadian rhythm, impacting our mood and sleep through the release of serotonin and melatonin, and helping in vitamin D production.
  • Limiting exposure to bright light before bedtime can enhance the quality of sleep and promote the production of melatonin, a powerful antioxidant.
  • Balanced exercise and proper nutrition are essential; incorporating recovery periods and consuming adequate protein and water aid in recovering and maintaining health.
  • Basic lifestyle changes, such as managing stress, optimizing sun exposure, and adjusting exercise and diet, are foundational to long-term health and longevity.
