Let me explain…

Walking, especially fast walking, is the simplest and most accessible exercise. It burns calories, boosts metabolism and improves mental health.

Sleep sets the tone for your day. Poor sleep impacts decision-making, cravings, hunger, and activity levels. Aim for 8 hours.

You wake up naturally dehydrated, so it’s crucial to hydrate properly in the morning before breakfast, especially before coffee. This helps improve decision-making about food, as thirst is often mistaken for hunger.

Morning sunlight boosts mood and regulates your circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep. When your mood and sleep are well-managed, your overall life improves. Aim for 10-15 minutes of sunlight in your eyes each morning.

Aim for 30-50 grams of protein per meal to stay satisfied and curb hunger. Remember, a fit body is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. Focus on nutrient-dense foods to change your body composition, and strive to get 90% of your food from real foods found in nature.

The best investment in your body is building muscle mass and strength. This boosts metabolism, enhances your health, and helps you lose fat while building muscle. It also reduces the risk of injuries as you age. Aim for 3-5 resistance training sessions per week.

⭐️⭐️I would add to eliminate any toxins like alcohol and drugs. They disturb sleep, impaired your decision making, lowers your metabolism and disrupts muscle building.
