The best health improvements I’ve made in the past year or so:
- pilates 2x a week (by far #1)
- eat a small breakfast every morning (stimulates appetite)
- ground / walk as close to barefoot as possible on earth
- sleep 9+ hours (hard to do but changes the game)
- eat veggies grown in the backyard
- sleep on a buckwheat pillow

As with all things health, I think it really depends on what your body needs 

For me, once I began working on Pinetree, I started drinking coffee again in the mornings (usually on an empty stomach). Eating breakfast at the same time made a big difference in the absorption of the coffee, making it less jittery

Counterintuitively, eating earlier made me also want to eat lunch sooner and it feels like my metabolism is better / more smoothed out throughout the day (which imo should help with longevity)

I also read this book “Rhythms of Change” where the author suggests that to be grounded and promote the earth energy in TCM, it is important to eat in the morning (pics attached)

I didn’t really answer your question but the above combined with my personal experience suggests that this practice is good for me

Genuine q - isn't skipping breakfast and fasting actually better than small breakfast for longevity? Assuming doesn't make you feel bad

Caffeine has a crazy half-life, I've noticed that if I have much after about 12:00 p.m. it affects my sleep pretty dramatically even though the cognitive effects of the caffeine are barely noticeable

I’m not good at it, I usually get 7-8 on weeknights and then one or two days of 9+ on the weekends 

The #1 thing is to be in bed before 11p, but I struggle to be disciplined about it — cutting out caffeine earlier in the day and also not ruminating too much helps

I assume for 9+ hours of sleep hardest is going to sleep on time?

would love to learn more about the time management /scheduling going into it or if you're just like yeah no sleep -> wakeup figure it out while awake

😂

Have you tried ashwagandha tea or magnesium bisglycinate?

I take magnesium glycinate — is glycine different?

And what does creatine do for sleep (only heard it in the context of bodybuilding)?

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

Glycine would be attached the Mg as salt so maybe enough but 3g is prob more than in your current supplement.

Few things have noticeably changed my life. Glycine is one.

Mr Android - start taking glycine (3g at night) and creatine (5-10g daily) 

Two life changing supplements.

I also do Pilates twice a week.
Why do you out it on the top of your list? What is it specifically that you place it above other fitness modalities or even on the top of your current list?

We have a trail nearby so try to do at least 1.5 miles a day

Have to go in the mornings now that it’s so hot :)

I’ve not done chair personally, just reformer and mat. Variations I guess I’m referring to the likes of lagree (compared to Pilates but isn’t really).

Reformer and chair mostly

Don’t know about variations, have only ever worked with this instructor 

Recommend trying anything else?

Mat or reformer Pilates? Any variations of it?

Can confirm with a 6YO and 7 week old 9+ hours a night would result in severe pain inflicted on me by the wife 🤣

No. From what I’ve heard, it’s not possible with young kids

remind me, you have kids? idk how that much sleep is possible with them

Lettuce, kale, green beans, peas, cilantro, others still growing 

Fruits aren’t ready yet, but soon!

what are those veggies?
how about fruits?

I suck when it comes to sleeping and can already see the after effects. How do you stay consistent with it? Usually sleep between 5-7 hours (2-3 hours once a week)

Man I am not consistent either haha 

Working out helps because when the body is fatigued, you’ll knock out easier

yeah but i still suck! at this rate i'm gonna meet tyler durden soon

The breakfast part might be the hardest on this list

Pilates or any kind of exercise is perfect, as for breakfast is the most important meal of the day, breakfast is what gives us the impulse every day.

This walking barefoot on the ground, is amazing, I like it, sleeping sometimes 8 hours gets complicated, we have to improve here, eating vegetables the best, although giving up sugar is even more relevant.

We must continue.

Pilated my way outta being a stiff JPEG twice a week
1. Small breakfast daily—starter pack to pump appetite like a memecoin
- Touched grass (literally), walked barefoot like a true degen monk
And 9+ hours of sleep—basically a hibernating validator node
Backyard veggies = farm-to-fork alpha
Buckwheat pillow? Peak utility. My neck been staking gains all night

Health is the real airdrop, frens.
