The Importance of Healthy Daily Routines!
In the morning:
Open Your Windows and Let the Sun Enter your room
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Don’t let the name intimidate you. I like simple! The following is simple! Of course, you can go more intense if you want! Do this soon after you wake up (up to 20 min total work out). Love this! Do this 3x PER DAY, 15 Repititions each time.
During the day:
Wear Blue-light blocking glasses (bbg’s) inside where I can't get natural light (using orange glasses).
Use F.lux during the day and Android's built-in blue-reducing filter.
Exercise as above doing HIIT. It is better to do it out in sun if you can but it is not imperative.
Get Some Sun
Huge, Huge, Huge. Get your Vitamin D! It helps prevent EVERY disease!
At high-noon, go out into the sun and get the Dminder App (download on the Google Play Store or App Store). The app will help you regarding when and how much time you need in the sun (based on how dark your skin is).
Go out as naked (socially acceptable) as possible, and without makeup.
