Working on simplifying a beginning protocol with specifics and biggest bang for bucks
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2017 10:41 am
I am working on coming up with some specifics to initiate *habit practice* coinciding with the coming new 12-month year. (I know you are surprised!)
Looking for highest impact choices. Since I do not have testing results to work from, the aim is to hit the high points that would generally help, not harm.
1) MEDITATION: My personal non-negotiable is morning devotions, which helps me in so many ways but I need to work on consistency, so, list it first because it comes first in importance.
My top 3 new priorities, that I plan to make sure I do every day in January, even the days when not much else gets done:
2) SLEEP: Wear my blue-light blocker glasses from after dinner to bedtime, wear a sleep mask while sleeping (until I can block all light).
3) EXERCISE: Walk 30 minutes per day 6 days per week.
4) FOOD: work on increasing eggs, good fats and at least 3 veggie colors per meal.
My next 3, just because I can not seem to stop with three and these seem like maximum impact for general improvement
5) BRAIN TRAINING: Do 90 minutes per week minimum of BrainHQ exercises, using their suggestions.
6) DENTAL: Brush/floss/mouthwash morning and evening using the good toothpaste (livionex) and mouthwash (Listerine ultraclean - I was in a study where the dentists were very impressed.) I believe also the unwaxed floss is recommended but cannot remember why.
7) SUPPLEMENTS: This is the tricky one. I have been taking a B100-complex which really makes a difference (more energy, just feel much better), some cal-mag-zinc (I tested lowest ever on minerals and get leg cramps among other things), and, some fish oil (just cause). Periodically, have taken some others but not committed to them. Definitely need to rethink all these in light of new info and testing. Thinking particularly of adding MCT oil. Hoping to learn enough to settle on a few basics to buy in the next couple weeks to add some value until I get testing and specific suggestions.
Some of this is a repeat from previous posts (sorry!) but I am trying to get it down to a simple list I can hang on the wall and work from daily to get some progress started and especially start building habits in the new year.
Comments, thoughts, suggestions gratefully sought and much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
