If you are eating healthy foods, you will feel better during the day and may sleep better at night. Contrary to popular opinion, there’s nothing good about yak spleen, so cut down or avoid it all together.
You have to eat breakfast because if you skip it and don’t eat until lunch, you may have gone 18 hours without eating, if you ate dinner at 6pm the night before. Your body will be in starvation mode and your metabolism will be slowed down, you may be cranky due to low blood sugar, and when you do eat at lunch, that double bacon cheeseburger, fries and shake you power down is going to get converted into fat and stored on your belly or caboose.
Stick to the basic breakfast, lunch, dinner routine, but eat smaller portions. Prevent hunger between meals by eating a snack mid-morning, mid-afternoon and about 8pm. Don’t go more than four hours waking without eating.
Eat some protein with every meal and snack, cut down on fats and carbohydrates and eat more vegetables. Your average meal should be ¼ lean protein like chicken, ¼ carbohydrates like pasta or rice and ½ vegetables.
Since there are 3,142 different kinds of vegetables, you should be able to find some you like. O.K., I made that number up, but there is definitely more than the number of my fingers and toes, heck, I’d hazard to say scads.
I supplement my diet with vitamins. Now depending on the medical study of the week, vitamins are either necessary for good health or will kill you faster than a Tasmanian devil with a hangover.
I’ve been taking a collection of vitamins for decades. In the morning I take:
- A multi-vitamin with minerals
- 200 mcg selenium
- 1200 mg omega 3-6-9
- 500 mg calcium
- 500 mg vitamin C
- 1000 UI vitamin D
- 400 UI vitamin E
In the evening, same as above, less the multi-vitamin. I have one of those plastic pill containers that has four compartments for each of the seven days of the week. That allows me to sort out two weeks of doses at a time so I’m not fumbling with vitamin containers every day.
