My App

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Full disclosure: I use a weigh scale everyday, a sleep app, journal, a philosophy, a blog,

I enjoyed the reference in the vid below about carbon app, data driven, nuanced driven, hard work, do your best, do no harm and clear concise science.

Goals: intermittent fast or no supper to sleep better while maintaining keto, no sugar, low carb, better fiber, better exercise in the morning, maintain diversity in my daily content of consumable food for breakfast, lunch (and occasional suppers to maintain weight goal)

Fasting And It’s Origin

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

It is safe to assume food may have been difficult to obtain at times in a variety of circumstances.

Evolution must have had to contend with food shortages, even if it was due to natural disasters like fire and flood.

And what, if anything happens to the body during these kinds of fasts to the human body?

Autophagy is a way the body cleans up the body to rebuild necessary parts when starving or healing a disease.

This may not be a true medical definition but describes the body while undergoing disease without medical intervention.

The body evolves to find the optimal use or fitness for survival.

This is the premise of Darwin’s theory of evolution.

So, a question may be posed today about the best way to use fasting to offset our tendency to overeat and eat in a poor way.

Suppose we omit a meal a day to enhance healthier eating.

Suppose we use sufficient fasting to promote cleaning up the body using autophagy.

Then, promote better food like no processed foods.

What about promoting keto metabolism with a healthier kind of glucose metabolism?

Bottom line is to promote a better sustainable lifestyle.

Fasting and it’s origin need not be overlooked in this promotion of health span.

Fasting benefits need to be balanced on the individual level like most habits.

A better habit may start by breaking break(fast).

Sleep longer to increase autophagy.

Exercise more to improve health span.

Eat less when appropriate.

Look into water fasting to promote healthy healing practices.

At least consider intermittent fasting if it improves your health span.

Is there any truth to the idea that fasting can be a health habit in today’s fast food climate?

Sleep, exercise and eat…

Do these three things well.

Stop drinking coffee at noon.

Get to bed on time. That means sleeping at a set sleep time seven days a week.

Make the room dark.

Breath from your nose.

Mind follows body, to treat them both right, look after them both.

Do look after your state of mind, use mindful meditation on the regular basis, each day for the same time, seven days a week.

Move more, walk more, stand more, Keep moving to maintain a good energy level.

Eat well, lots of fiber, good microbes, do not smoke or drink, and keep recreational drugs out of the body. Stay off sugar, and alcohol and do not overuse anything.

It takes time to change, be determined to live a good life and do no harm.

Sleep, The Most Valuable Thing You Will Learn To Do Well

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Okay, you can sleep like a baby as you grow, as long as you don’t fall prey to bad habits.

You can’t sleep on the regular basis for many reasons. Here are the top ten.

  • the room is too light, it is best to wear a sleep mask or sleep in a dark room.
  • temperature is too hot or too cold, try a blanket when it is too cold or try a warm shower an hour or two before bed if it is too warm.
  • don’t eat snacks or eat too late, to be safe, stop eating 3 or 4 hours before bed.
  • don’t go to bed too early or too late, stick to a schedule, in time you will find the nuances like feeling tired enough to sleep or going to bed on time.
  • exercise moderately each day, the energy you use to exercise releases adenosine into your body which promotes sleep each night.
  • don’t use devices too much, sometimes the blue light or the stimulation makes it hard to prepare for sleep.
  • meditate 25 minutes or more each day, it can help you improve mood swings among other mental health benefits.
  • Journaling will also bring order and information to hand that will help with goals, asperations and mental health.
  • nutrition or eating well will improve the health of the body to perform all tasks better, including better sleep.
  • read, write and research to be a life long learner.

When, I cut out the journey to learning these 10 habits, it removed the value and appreciation from the story. To uncover the top ten may take you half your life to learn well. Hope you make the trip.

If nothing else, learn how to live these 10 habits. They will teach you more than good health.

Writing

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Being a lifelong learner is easer when I write

It is as functional as my practice.

I write to gain more perspectives and to make directions ,notes and to do things more manually.

I appreciate people who write and do screen play,as artists, but everyone needs to write as a learning tool.

See what I did there,

I am trying to use the same formate as “Drawing”.

Ideally, we need many tools to build a good mind and stay a lifelong learner.

So let’s think outside the box.

The reasons I write and draw is to become a critical thinker, integrate theory with practice and explore to discover.

Art may imitate life, but writing and drawing builds a better mind that does both.

“The Three Day Apple A Day Plan”-update

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Well it has been about a month of apples.

I am beginning to enjoy my meals.

The Apple habit is solid.

I have forgotten to eat an apple before a meal twice.

The changes for me are slow and easy.

I notice what I eat and when I eat.

The Apple marks each meal.

I am slowly getting into more walking, stretching and weights.

My appetite is becoming more manageable: my cravings are becoming less pronounced and I feel more self-control.

All in all, the gradual change in diet and exercise is becoming better.

My plan is to give a monthly update for the next year.

Wish me luck!

“I am Groot.”

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Just in case you are off planet, Guardians Of The Galaxy 1&2, has a character who has become An internet sensation.

Every time I say, “I am Groot.” I get a smile on my face.

I am in a good state of mind.

It is easy to do no harm when one is in a good state of mind.

But the exercise is to calm any state of mind and thereby do no harm.

This is the foundation for finding the good life.

With this one tool an individual can practice meaning, grow in a meaningful way and actualize a useful life work.

Join a revolution of one: practice owning your state of mind and learn to do no harm. Strive for peace and good will, practice nonviolence.
