What’s the best way to do it when job, parents, and kids take time. (Serious question).

Ten words/phrases a day. Seriously. You got to have to words to improve. As you go on with your day, try to think in that language. When you see green tree, you say to yourself: 'arbol verde'. Pay attention to the word order, add article 'el' at some point, verb to be, and adjective.

I purposely have like 4 water bottles around the house/in the car so i don't have an excuse to not take a few sips here and there like when passing from room to room.

Fwiw, I dread drinking water. I'm rarely thirsty so I don't naturally seek it out so having water bottles set out helps especially the one in the car cup holder. I drink from a straw which helps.

Be sure you clean out those water bottles.

Not only does stale water not taste great (which could explain your aversion) but you’re going to get bacteria buildup if you’re just leaving water bottles all over your house and taking a sip every few days.

Not PP, but I do a 30-minute audio lesson (Pimsleur is the app I use) every morning during my morning walk, then I do Duolingo (another app) in the evening. I also do 50-minute weekly virtual 1:1 lessons (italki). I probably do 45 minutes a day, plus the weekly lesson (and the teacher gives me homework).

However, I currently live in the country whose national language is the one I’m trying to learn, so I’m extremely motivated, especially because many people don’t speak English.

OP here, thanks to everyone but especially the post above this one, I've taken lots of notes and I'm trying to add things bit by bit. Yoga seems like it will fulfill a lot of things - mobility, stamina, balance, and a bit of core work. I've started flossing finally. Thank you everyone!

Any small change is better than nothing. Pick anything that you can do.

- Maintain weight. Be a bit (a couple pounds) underweight if possible.

- Eat mostly a plant based whole food diet. Eat minimally processed food. If you become Vegan then you must take B-12 supplement, otherwise, if you want to be an omnivore then your meat, poultry, fish and dairy should be organic.

- Eat lots of veggies and fruits and eat it before you have any protein or carb.

- No soda, no added sugar, no junkfood, no alcohol, no tobacco product, no drugs.

- Alkaline food and drink is the best. So drink lemon water and drink at least 8 glasses of water.

- Do OMAD diet now and then. People who do fasting (like muslims during Ramadan) have lower risk of cancer due to autophagy.

- Do yoga for flexibility. Walk 8-10K steps a day. Lift weights.

- Dental health is must. Daily - Floss, water pik, salt gargles and clean tongue with a copper tongue cleaner. Twice yearly professional dental cleaning.

- Shower in the morning and then get morning sun exposure. Do not shower for several hours after getting your sunlight because it takes several hours for the vitamin d to be absorbed in your body.

- Multi-vitamin every day. Take the trio of - Vitamin D3-magnesium-K2 MK7 daily.

- Get your complete physical done in the first two months of the calendar year and make sure that all your deductibles are met early in the year. Get all your vaccines on time - flu, shingles, pneumonia etc.

- Take daily turmeric golden milk. Do not exceed more than 1 tsp of turmeric a day. It will control inflammation and pain.

- Get adequate sleep of good quality. Practice sleep hygiene. Get a sleep study done to make sure that you do not snore or do not have sleep apnea.

- Get a full cardiac check up done - CT Angio, ECG, EKG, nuclear stress test - every year. Get your colonoscopy and endoscopy done every 5 years. Get a mammogram and pap done if you are a biological woman.

- Get regular eye checkups, eat a well balanced vegetable heavy diet, do eye exercises, wear good quality sunglasses to protect your eyes, do not stain your eyes from excessive screen usage, and naturally charge your rods and cones of your eyes by looking at the early morning redness of the sky due to sunrise for a minute or two.

- Maintain social connections, entertain people at home regularly, make the effort to help others, be patient and forgiving, be pleasant to others. Remove negativity from your life. Pray or meditate regularly.

- At the age of 55-60, you should do a Swedish Death Cleanse and adopt a minimalistic lifestyle. The less stuff you have, the more time you will have to live your life. Downsize your possessions.

- Do Soduku, crossword, puzzles etc. Learn new things.

- Be familiar with technology and do not fear it.

- Do core exercises. Improve your posture. Make sure that the muscles of your legs remain strong and you have good balance. Tai Chi and Yoga are good for balance.

- Keep on making new friends. Travel. Have hobbies. Watch movies. Listen to music. Do things that you enjoy.

- Wear seatbelt while driving. Always wear good and supportive footwear.

You might start with episode 202, which talks about protein consumption. By his standards, you probably aren't getting enough whole protein. It takes some effort even when you are eating meat, and is really hard if you aren't.

This man is a loon and anything he says should be fact-checked with your medical professional.

Huge difference.

Pay attention to people, in the present. Many do everything to age well and they get hit with: alzheimers, cancer, something.

Small things definitely help so don't discount them.

I do a lot of mind/mental games.

Small stuff like changing my cell phone click to analog (so i have to use brain power to quickly calculate time), I have a trial version of Scrabble I play during down-time, etc.

Thank you everyone I’ve definitely added some work to my days but I’m thankful
To have the time and health to even adjust my life. I’m taking it all in thanks!

At least 7 hours of sleep per night

Yes to flossing well and the right way. Most don’t floss right. High connection to plaque and heart disease, high blood pressure etc.
