Dieting can be overcomplicated and a pain in the ass.

It doesn't require you to count calories or measure foods.
It's called the Green Face Diet and it might change your life.
Here's how to do it:
What Is The Green Face Diet?
It's a diet that's as bare-bones as it gets, but that's exactly what makes it so effective.
The rules are so simple you could tattoo them on your forearm in 5 minutes:
Rule #1 - If it’s a green vegetable you can eat it.
Rule #2 - If it had a face or would’ve grown up to have a face, you can eat it.
Rule #3 - If it’s not green and has no face, don’t eat it.

Sleep mistakes I made in my 20's that I'm avoiding in my 40's:
1. Drinking alcohol. Alcohol impairs REM & deep sleep. It's a literal poison that ruins sleep quality.
2. Not investing in a quality mattress. You sleep for 1/3 of your life, so you might as well make it good.
3. Looking at screens before bed disrupts melatonin production and prevents you from going to sleep on time.
4. Reading emails or social media before bed. Reading the wrong piece of information can increase anxiety or thoughts, which makes it harder to go to sleep.

One of my goals is to become the first person to reach 100 in my family.
A big part of that will be doing the right exercises.
Here are 5 exercises I'm doing to live to 100 years old:
#1 - Zone 2 cardio
VO2 Max is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during exercise & is a strong predictor of mortality.
One foundational way to achieve a high V02 max is to build a base of endurance using Zone 2 cardio.
This type of cardio has your heart residing in the 2nd zone (see pic) and can be done while barely having a conversation.
My aim is to get at least 180-200 minutes of zone 2 cardio every week.
