[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made a list recently of all the things I am supposed to do to “stay healthy” —  I honestly feel like it’s a second full-time job. The money, time, and willpower it takes to accomplish all these things on a daily basis is overwhelming. Does anyone feel like they’re failing at staying healthy?

* drink half your weight in water 
* get at least 30 minutes of exercise
* stretch and do resistance training
* eat enough fiber and protein
* eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables
* decrease your sugar intake
* get enough sleep
* decrease your exposure to blue light
* get enough vitamin D 
* get all of your yearly or biannual 
exams/scans
* figure out your vitamin deficiencies and supplement for all of them
* morning and evening skin care routine 
* protect yourself from the sun 
* meditate/journal/do something for mental health and decrease your stress
* brain exercises for memory

I’m sure there’s so many others people could add!

I no longer have caffeine so my morning cup of coffee is actually a morning cup of hot tomato soup with collagen peptide powder.

Also, my water intake is actually not plain water.  I either drink lemon water, water with a bit of baking soda or a drink I make of herbs.   Also, I drink bone broth soup. [/quote]
