How do you stay healthy?

by•
Being a founder/builder is a lot of work and can take its toll on your health. What's your strategy for staying healthy? I'm a walker and can easily crank out 15+ miles a week, eat only plants and hit the gym 3-5x a week. What's yours?

I think that I'm in the best position on that topic. As a PM of health solution, I'm trying and implementing the health suggestion for myself. Meanwhile, I do kundalini yoga and meditation on daily basis, but you know when you're above the 30s, sometimes it isn't enough. So I check my health markers from time to time and, for example, the last time I defined that my hormone profile needs to be improved and my inflammation is a little bit higher than the norm. I added some natural ways to improve it (like superfood) and became happy not just because I saw the better numbers, but mostly that I get a lot of energy.

@anna_panchenko ohh what superfoods did you try.
Hanna Barzakouskaya
@adriancole It depends on the lab test results. Just for example, when I discovered that my HDL was too low, I added Flax seeds and Chia. But when my lipid levels became perfect I stopped using it often. Although I still add them and the Goji berries to the porridge from time to time because I like their taste. Goji berries help with my dry eye disease. I also took DHEA supplements when my DHEA level appeared low as well as my cortisol level became abnormal hight. When it became the norm, I stopped taking it. I used to walk for 30 minutes per day, but some of the tests showed that that isn't enough. So I increase my walking to 60 minutes per day and started to listen to audiobooks because it seemed to me too much time to waste. So in general, I think that my health approach is clear.

I follow a semi-vegetarian diet. I avoid sugar and drink more water. Any physical activity for 30 minutes daily and 8 hours of sleep.
Adrian Cole
@manish_rawat1 The sleep is the hard part for me.

@manish_rawat1 Reducing the amount of sugar is key! Infact I build a site to keep me accountable for the same - to avoid sugar 😅 No Sugar Today

Good natural home made food, 7hrs sleep everyday, early mornings, stretch everyday, light aerobics 4-5 days a week, positive thoughts, light hearted music, some time in the Sun, intermittent fasting, conversations with friends and family, reading - news n books, less than 10mins meditation, create a bit - tweet/write/draw, journal, write down daily tasks, be nice to a stranger, be nice to people you live with, practice boundaries.. Healthy mind, healthy body.

@gogloballakshmi If your'e doing all this then you're definitely up there with your health!
Adrian Cole
@gogloballakshmi you're going to live to 200 with that schedule 📅
Lakshmi
@adriancole I just realised I mentioned nothing about work 😂
Lakshmi
@between_team yes, it has definitely helped me... this routine was the lesson learnt from a previous routine which almost killed me..
Natalie Karakina
Jogging in the morning and stretching in the evening
Adrian Cole
@nataliekarakina What stretching routine do you follow?
Justin Chitla
@nataliekarakina I am looking to be better about stretching! Is there a resource to help me? I have a very very weak back and I've been told to make sure my hip flexors are being stretched.
Dimitris Karavias
@justinchitla If you have a weak back you probably shouldn't stretch your hip flexors! Are you in pain or have a bad posture?
Justin Chitla
@dkaravias I've definitely heard of stretching the hip flexors so I've been giving that a try this week and will continue to do so. I actually stumbled on a good hip flexor stretch on tik tok lol!

Clean eating + good sleep + 10,000 steps a day. Have started following this regime recently and seeing good results. It's simple and easy to follow.
Adrian Cole
@chandru19902008 Thats a solid baseline.
Eileen Simons
@chandru19902008 100% that's one of my 2023 new year's resolution!

Hitting the gym three times a week without excuses. Drinking lots of water. Using pomodoro technique when working to make sure I have enough breaks :)
Adrian Cole
@kirillgorokhov Solid habits that compound
Maxime Clementz
jogging 2 times per week
Aurelian Spodarec
@maxime_clementz Not sure that's enough. Do you run for like 2hours at a time?

For me, it's daily yoga/meditation, cooking pretty much every day, and drinking lots of water
Adrian Cole
@audrey_rampon I recently got into the recipe / cookbook game and wow. A good podcast and I can drop 2 hours in my kitchen just cooking and living it up.

I am also a walker. I try to hit 30-40 miles a week. Doing repetitive rhythmic movements (e.g. walking) helps the nervous system relax as the blood circulates around the body at a constant pace.
Adrian Cole
@iliya_valchanov That will explain why I get my best ideas during my walks. My last walk was 4 hours and I solved 80% of my current problems in just one day.
Iliya Valchanov
@adriancole Oh, wow. Maybe I should try walking for longer haha
