*My* approach to health.
1. Why health?
2. Physical activity
3. Diet
1. WHY HEALTH?
There is no (true) freedom without health.
Good health reduces risk.

Good health makes you feel like a king! It improves the quality of life.
2. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
PA RT IT LA FT
PA (Physical Activity - general)
RT (Resistance Training)
IT (Interval Training - short to longish)
LA (Lactic Acid/Acidosis)
FT (Fast Twitch)
+ Aerobic base
IMO, these are the requirements for robust physical health youth -> old age
General Physical Standards
Intervals, Gym & Circuits to improve your fitness & strength.

Acidosis for health - keep in touch with it (but it hurts!)
Develop a necessary aerobic base by longer, less intensive work (zone 2-ish) - I rarely *train* this as I regard as normal physical activity. You do you.

VO2 max tables. Where are you?
Throw in some 'micro, mini, mega challenges' - they're fun & adds in randomness

Recap - Physical Activity
1 Resistance training – weights, circuits and/or calisthenics
2 Intervals - short to long (anaerobic/lactic/aerobic)
3 Daily low-level activity
4 Occasional 'mega' challenges (once/twice a year)
5 Necessary aerobic base (ability to run a fast mile)
3. DIET
I believe we are 'ASF-based Omnivores'
ASF = animal sourced food
Generally, LC HP IF – the way forward.
LC - Low(ish) carb. Reduce the CHO content of your diet i.e. bread, pasta, rice, pizza, cakes, sweets. Eat non-starchy vegetables. Cut out sugar
HP - (High(ish) protein. Eat as much meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables as you like
IF - Intermittent fasting. Eat two meals a day in a 6-8hr window. Breakfast and lunch or lunch and supper. Don’t eat large meals late (within four hours of going to bed)
My Fasting Paper for more information:

Hunter Mode - something to try:
Regardless of body weight:
1 Cut out seed oils
2 Cut out refined carbs and sugars
3 Reduce cereals/grains - pasta, bread,etc
4 Eat meat, seafood, eggs, some non-starchy fruit and veg
5 Don't drink calories (apart from animal blood) - just coffee, tea, water, red wine
6 Take megadose Vit C, (maybe Vit A & D3) as soon as an infection strikes
7 Cycle creatine (optional)
8 Calorie restriction – slight
9 Time restricted feeding (18/6)
10 Intermittent Fasting - 24hrs once every 2/3 weeks
11 Intermittent ‘overeating’ - one or twice a week
None of this gospel - it's just a guide. It's what I do.
- Be forensic if you have a food related problem
- Find things out for yourself
- There are other things important in life; relationships, family & creating your world.
