How to live #healthy ?

Option 1:
06:00 – 06:30 Morning prayer / meditation; start of the day
06:30 – 07:00 Read your Bible; or if you don't believe in it, learn new affirmations
07:00 – 08:00 Morning meal
work
10:00 – 14:00 Best time to get sun exposure. Near the equator, up to 5 minutes only. Northern/Southern Hemisphere, 10–15 minutes only (depending on season). If you have darker skin, adjust by taking longer exposure.
work
18:00 – 18:30 Evening prayer / meditation; end of the day
18:30 – 19:00 Clean; take a bath; relax
19:00 – 20:00 Evening meal

Option 2:
06:00 – 07:00 Morning prayer / meditation; start of the day
07:00 – 08:00 Read your Bible; or if you don't believe in it, learn new affirmations
08:00 – 09:00 Morning meal
work
10:00 – 14:00 Best time to get sun exposure. Near the equator, up to 5 minutes only. Northern/Southern Hemisphere, 10–15 minutes only (depending on season). If you have darker skin, adjust by taking longer exposure.
work
18:00 – 19:00 Evening prayer / meditation; end of the day
19:00 – 20:00 Clean; take a bath; relax
20:00 – 21:00 Evening meal

Option 3: Study options 1 & 2 above and adjust it accordingly to your specific scenario.

Q: No lunch? No snacks?
A: Lunch and snacks, especially midnight snacks, were not part of our daily eating cycle originally. Drinking water is what's important, not eating. If you really need to eat or you haven't adjusted yet, eat fruits. Apple, grapes, berries, banana, are good choices.

Q: Sun exposure? That's bad!
A: No. Sun exposure for 2 hours from 07:00 to 09:00 as our elders claim is actually the worst. The good rays of the sun has short wavelength than the bad rays which has long wavelength. 07:00 to 09:00, the long wavelength rays (bad) reaches our body much faster and in higher quantities. Exposure between 10:00 and 14:00 increases the quantity of good rays (the short wavelength) to our body.

The key is the length of time. The closer one is to the equator, the less time one has to expose themselves. The farther one is, the longer they need to. Current season, climate, weather, should also be taken into consideration. During winter, for example, increase the time of exposure between 10:00 and 14:00. Skin colour and skin tone also plays a factor because a black skin colour or a darker skin tone blocks a lot of sun rays, both good and bad.

Overexposure of good rays is not an issue. Our body shuts down Vitamin D production once it generates what it needs for the next 24 hours. Underexposure or the lack of it prevents our body from producing Vitamin D sufficiently.

However, overexposure to bad rays is bad.

This is another reason why sun exposure is worst from 07:00 to 09:00. Our body receives almost purely only the bad rays from the sun.

Do not put on sun blockers. These products actually block almost all types of sun rays, including the good ones that our body needs. Simply time your exposure. For example, if you're near the equator, expose as much as your whole body around 12:00 for only 1 to 2 minutes. If you do it from 10:00 to 11:00 or 13:00 to 14:00, 4 to 5 minutes.

There is no concrete guideline as there are factors to consider as was explained earlier. Be wise. Our body knows what's good for us. Be sensitive to your body. Listen to your brain.

Q: Meal? As in full meal, heavy meal?
A: That's up to you. Concepts like "breakfast is not a full meal" and "you should eat heavy meal during lunch only" are myths. A meal is a meal regardless if it's light, heavy, few, or full. If your idea of breakfast is 2 eggs and a 5 breads, and your idea of a lunch is 2 eggs and a cup of rice, what difference is there between the two other than calling the former as "breakfast"/"light eating" and the latter "lunch"/"heavy/full meal"? The same applies to the evening meal. Call it whatever you want, "supper" or "dinner", it doesn't matter.

What matters is what you are eating, how you eat, and why you eat. Are you eating because you love to eat not because you're going to work? Are your choices because those tastes so delicious or because you need energy and stamina for the rest of your day?

Morning and evening meals. That's all we need every single day. Lunch, snacks, and midnight snacks are not needed and is actually not good for us and our circadian rhythm (a.k.a. body clocks, yes, plural). As was mentioned above, if you can't avoid eating lunch and/or snacks, then go for fruits only. Lots of water is also a good alternative than eating lunch and snrcks. Your body will thank you.

Happy people get sick less -

Research shows that up to two thirds of physical ailments are somehow related to the psyche. It's a fact: happy people are less likely to get sick and recover more quickly. That is why it is worth working on an optimistic view of the world and not thinking about diseases.

What is the relationship between physical and mental health? We know: a healthy spirit in a healthy body. But this relationship also works the other way - when the healthy spirit, the body is also better. Mental health is not, unfortunately, given once and for all. Rather, it resembles a plant that grows and strengthens if you cultivate it properly. Or it also dies and dies when you do not create its favorable conditions.

Can you somehow influence these conditions necessary for mental health? Yes and no. Certain personality traits are inherited. These include, for example, temperament. One man is naturally cheerful, responsive, different reflective, slow. To a certain extent, the mental condition also depends on the conditions in which you grew up, what parents you had. Both inheritance and childhood experiences are beyond our control. Fortunately, we have some influence on our disposition. It is worth to find out and find out if the psyche is ill or healthy.

Signs of a healthy psyche
A man with a healthy psyche is happy, moderately happy, rather satisfied. He can take care of himself - for cleanliness, appearance, order around him. If we look into his apartment, we will see a relative order. It is not perfect, but it is certainly clean, and the various items are in place, there is no chaos, clutter or dirt. Healthy people take care of themselves - for example, allow themselves pleasure, but strive for them within reasonable limits. They can enjoy the moment. At the same time, their concern for themselves is not self-centered - it does not cause suffering to others and does not contribute to the neglect of loved ones. For example, there are parents who hear the child crying in the next room and close the door. Most, however, then help your child. A healthy person can give up pleasure if, for example, its cost is too high.

Mental health is also manifested in the ability to change your life and your views. If the facts show that their own views are wrong, healthy people modify them, set new goals in life. Health also goes hand in hand with specific life attitudes - rather with optimism than with pessimism. Healthy people are usually not perfectionists - they often think that the norm is imperfect, that other people do not have to be great, and that tasks are enough to be done reasonably well, not necessarily perfect.

Lack of mental health
Perfectionism is toxic in the long run. The conviction that one must not make mistakes and that other people should be changed for the better, increases suffering. And suffering is one of the symptoms of lack of mental health. In people with a sick soul, there are also strange, harmful behaviors or a tendency to violate social norms. Often you can also notice that they have no control over their own reactions. Can they help themselves? Yes! Working on your own character brings results.

And one more good news: mental health differs significantly from physical health - it does not have to undergo the destructive activity of time. Research shows that older people are usually happier than young people. With age, self-esteem usually also improves. Here the method of small steps works - some life decisions, ways of thinking, which man develops in themselves, attitudes, etc. in the future will give positive changes. So do not hesitate, do something for your happiness today!

Frustrated by the obstacles to urban cycling in North America, Melissa and Chris Bruntlett traveled with their two kids from Vancouver to the #Netherlands in 2016 to take a deep five-week dive into places that do cycling better. Traversing cities in the Netherlands by bike, they found that cycling is not just a better way to get around; when done right, it leads to healthier, safer, more vibrant, more family-friendly communities. They wrote it all up in their new book, Building the Cycling City: The Dutch Blueprint for Urban Vitality, which provides a guide for cities and communities that want to do cycling right, and for urban cyclists and families who want to learn the keys to cycling as a way of life.

I spoke to the Bruntletts by phone earlier this month about what they’ve learned and about what cities and people in the United States and Canada can learn from the cycling lifestyle in the Netherlands. Our conversation has been lightly edited for space and flow.

Why do Feminists always draw themselves to look thinner?

#Intersectional #Feminists #believe that all #body types are #healthy and should be #empowered.

Specifically, they believe that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being #obese/fat, and they demand #representation for #fat people in #TV #shows, #movies, #comics and #video #games.

They rally against what they call “unrealistic body standards“, and claim that “real women have curves“.

So why is it that every time #Feminists #cartoonize or #draw #themselves, they always make themselves look #thinner and #smaller?

The same people who #campaign against “sexist” #female #characters always make sure to shed 10kg to 30kg off of their #weight, fix their #skin and make themselves look completely #unrepresentative of #reality whenever they draw themselves.

Think I’m joking?

GENEVA (Reuters) - China has overtaken the United States in healthy life expectancy at birth for the first time, according to World Health Organization data.

Chinese newborns can look forward to 68.7 years of healthy life ahead of them, compared with 68.5 years for American babies, the data - which relates to 2016 - showed.

American newborns can still expect to live longer overall - 78.5 years compared to China’s 76.4 - but the last 10 years of American lives are not expected to be healthy.

“The lost years of good health that are a factor in calculating healthy life expectancy at birth are lower for China, Japan, Korea and some other high income Asian countries than for high income ‘Western’ countries,” said WHO spokeswoman Alison Clements-Hunt.

The United States was one of only five countries, along with Somalia, Afghanistan, Georgia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where healthy life expectancy at birth fell in 2016, according to a Reuters analysis of the WHO data, which was published without year-on-year comparisons in mid-May.

The best outlook was for Singaporean babies, who can count on 76.2 years of health on average, followed by those in Japan, Spain and Switzerland. The United States came 40th in the global rankings, while China was 37th.

In terms of overall life expectancy China is also catching up with the United States, which Reuters calculations suggest it is on course to overtake around 2027.

“Chinese life expectancy has increased substantially and is now higher than for some high-income countries,” said Clements-Hunt.

Meanwhile U.S. life expectancy is falling, having peaked at 79 years in 2014, the first such reversal for many years, Clements-Hunt said.

That reflected increasing rates of drug overdose deaths, mainly from opioids, suicides, and some other major causes among younger middle-aged Americans, particularly in less affluent areas, she said.

The world’s longest life expectancy is in Japan, at 84.2 years, meaning that babies born there in 2016 were the first to be able to look forward to seeing the next century.
