Hi Julie! Quick Question, what's your no.1 tip for students memorising a lot of content for exams? I'm planning on writing a post about this and I'll mention and credit you!
These are great, Julie! Sometimes it’s the little, simple habits—done consistently over weeks, months, and years—that make the biggest impact.
As we get older, our internal systems that tell us we’re thirsty can break down, which is why so many of us end up dehydrated. It really takes a commitment to drink enough water, whether you feel thirsty or not.
Another great benefit of taking short walks after meals is that they can help blunt post-meal blood sugar spikes. Those spikes and crashes aren’t good for us, so smoothing them out over time is important—and even quick walks after eating can make a big difference. I wore a continuous glucose monitor for a few weeks, and that was definitely the case for me.
Beautiful, Julie. It really ties up with the idea of atomic habits. If you add all of this in a year, so much greatness involved! We tend to miss the 10.000 feet view from this, and I love you back this up. Sounds simple, the struggle is in the hold.
Two years ago I made a commitment to up my water regimen. Well, until this moment, there wasn't one. I was always under hydrated. I spent the first year getting myself to 50 ounces a day. Then I used the second year to slowly get myself to 75 ounces a day. I think I will stay here for awhile, when I move into 'elderly' category - I think I will up it again.

Mom and dad were right all along. Thanks Doc!

Progress, not perfection.
Wonderful reminders. Goals! :)

I appreciate your insights!
Very interesting that the systems that signal hydration can break down with age. Yes, so many more benefits to daily walks. Thanks for reading!

Thank you Zar!
I am so grateful that you care. Thank you. Thank you and Thank you.
All of these tips are very reasonable and I personally will begin to add them into a daily practice.
Happy to hear this Colleen!
Why aren’t you talking about sugar?
What aren’t you talking about ultra processed food?
Why aren’t you talk about metabolic realities?
Hi Mark! I have covered those topics in previous newsletters
My parents lived to 94 and 97. They took walks every day after supper. They worked in the yard early mornings. You are so right about these habits.
Aw I love that post dinner walks were in their routine!
Hi, I think #4 and #5 are very underrated. Good tip to suggest these :)
Thank you Johan!
thank you so much! Blessings always
Thank you for reading Kanchana ☺️

Love your advices and what you write!
Yes! Small investments compound over time. Thank you for reading Antonio!
Very nice suggestions which I will try. I thought you’d include a short meditation, which might also be helpful. Thank you.
Thanks Ben! Meditation is great too
