Life lessons from a bungee jump. A thread
What we fear most? Obviously death. We are evolutionary designed by nature to avoid situation where we can get hurt. When I stood at the edge of the approx. 200 meter drop, I wanted to drop out.
I was facing my life’s greatest fear. And the idea of facing it head on excited and terrified me. When they strapped me on the ankle and perched me on the edge, I was shaking. On top of the jump board it was written – Live more, Fear less.
And I plunged. 11 seconds of most intense moments, I had ever experienced. Terror turned into Euphoria. This was one of the most significant moments of my life. I realized it was not as scary as it looked. This was the most eye opening moment for me.
Life begins at the end of comfort zone. Whenever now I hear my inner voice apprehensive or fearful of something I wish to do – I take a deep breath and tell myself – it’s not as scary as it looks. And I push myself away from my comfort zone a bit more further.
We are afraid to leave the safety of our routine to pursue something greater because of our fear of failure. Ask yourself, ”Will you regret not doing this?” If the answer is yes, go try. We are all looking for fulfilment and the path to the same is outside of our comfort zone.

If u r 40-50 and have been a care giver to your parents or grand parents who have been sick in their last decade or two of life,u have experienced their pain and also the pain u went through taking care of them. It’s hugely draining to your resources when u r at ur peak of career
It’s now your responsibility for yourself and for ur kids to remain healthy. You can take care of ur health right now, not to be a burden on your children. Not to live ur last years in pain. It’s such a waste of your life’s wisdom and learning if u can’t pass it on to ur
Grandkids. You have an obligation to do this. Simple lifestyle habits will make it happen for most of us
1) Eat right. My 7 weeks experience with @UltrahumanHQ has proven eating processed food, Maida being one, is dangerous. Eating as many vegetables works best.

Making changes in how you spend, save, earn, and give takes time and discipline. Some small actions you can do to manage your money better. #moneymatters
1) Invest some money this week. Maybe in stock market. Choose a good stock for long term.
2) Check your last few credit card statements. You will be surprised how some of the things you spent money on, were impulsive and you actually didn’t need the things or services.

Have you ever thought how fat loss happens. I mean if you lose 5 kgs weight where does it go. Do you poop, pee, or sweat? Tiny bit of it yes. Most of it you breathe out. Yes, every breath you take out you lose some fat. Let’s understand how we lose fat by breathing.
The very basic prescription for fat loss is diet and exercise. When we exercise, we start to breathe heavy. If you, do it enough, consistently and if you are patient, you are going to lose fat. Let’s understand how breathing makes us lose fat.
Say you eat some mixed macro nutrient meal. Food that has Carbohydrate, Protein, and fat. The food is not the actual food we eat when it leaves your gut and get into your blood.  It will be some form of these macronutrient.

When I look back at last 20 years of my life, we fought 5 cancer cases in the closest family- Mom,Dad, Grandmom, Sister, Mom In law. Many more in the extended family. And we won all these battles. Some lessons
1) It can happen to anyone. None were into any form of addiction.
2) Money is an important component for survival. Get a big insurance. And insurance alone cannot help. In a relatives case he had to be taken to US for a year. That’s lot of money.
So be thrifty in ur young days. Create wealth. Don’t splurge.
3) Family together is most important. I can’t emphasise enough on it’s importance to fight the disease.
4) Stay positive. Every moment. When happy and when in pain. Don’t try to win sympathy with ur sadness

A friend of mine thinks he is in perfect health except for the antacids he takes every day. My bro in law thinks gluten is contributing to his daily stomach pain and digestive issues. Another relative needs green tea post dinner to digest food. Many can’t tolerate dairy.
In fact almost 3/4th population suffer from one or more chronic digestive ailments, including acid reflux, diarrhoea, constipation, gas, bloating, abdominal pain. And most of us don’t report this to our doctors also because we think it’s normal.
However these systems are not normal. They can be a sign that there is something wrong with digestive system. By tweaking your lifestyle and paying more attention to what and when u eat, u can restore ur health.

Many people have it in their minds that athletes are healthy because they are fit. However, if you look across the board at the professional level of sport, and if you analyze the statistics and health profiles of these athletes, you will find that, while they are super fit, ..
..but the process they employ to achieve this level of fitness may actually undermine their health. An athletes health is greatly impaired because of the catabolic state their body remains for long periods.
Unaware of the anabolic/catabolic relationship, or that the pursuit of fitness can result in decidedly negative health consequences, most people still associate fitness (or exercise) with health.
