Nutrition
Forget vilifying single nutrients. The real wins in nutrition come from ten small habits that you repeat every day for years.
If you repeat a habit every day for a year, you have done it 365 times. Most of the modern chronic-disease burden comes from habits that compound negatively — and the same is true when they compound positively.
The ten habits
- Eat a protein-rich breakfast
- Eat two cups of vegetables at lunch
- Walk for ten minutes after each main meal
- Have one piece of whole fruit as an afternoon snack
- Avoid sugary drinks after 6pm
- Cook dinner at home four nights a week
- Finish dinner at least three hours before sleep
- Take a daily omega-3 and vitamin D
- Sleep seven to eight hours
How to start
Pick three. Stick to them for a month. Add two more the next month. Within a season you have transformed your day-to-day nutrition without ever dieting.
