Ten things to do for health (other than prayer and Bible study)

Here’s your 10 things that need to be done and best to do all of them:

  1. Intermittent fasting and sometimes longer fasting
  2. Keto (avoidance of carbs)
  3. Supplementation with broad range vitamins and minerals, especially going overboard on vits D and C
  4. Sufficient sleep every night.
  5. Metabolism improving foods rich in polyphenols and MCTs
  6. Anaerobic exercise such as weightlifting (recommend Starting Strength method)
  7. Aerobic exercise, such as 10,000 steps
  8. Portion Control, don’t eat too much even of what’s healthy – what you don’t eat is more important than what you do eat.
  9. Lay off the alcohol. It gets in the way of almost all the other points here as well as having risks of its own.
  10. Monitor progress regularly, both in terms of weight, and body shape, and ability to do more.

 

That’s the high level thing. Obviously it’s necessary to research into some of these a bit more to know what kinds of food or exercise are meant in each case, and Gundry’s books all contain lists of do foods and don’t foods.

I haven’t made a big deal out of saturated and non-saturated fats, what kind of casein is OK and why sheep and cgoat milk is usually better or olive oil better than some other oils.  I find that in my case if I only keep to all the above I can lose the weight. If I don’t, then it starts coming back.

Can I keep my aquarium in my bedroom?

The important thing is a nice even level service on something strong enough to take the weight, which could well be a chest of drawers in a bedroom.  Certainly you do have to check it will take the weight you want to put on it.

You will probably be OK sleeping with the noise of a quiet filter. One should never switch the filter off for the night and then switch it on again in the morning.  And neither can you do that to the heater. The light you do switch off, and then it is a question of either remembering to switch it on in the morning or having a timer switch.

Just make sure there’s still room for the bed!

There is nothing unhealthy about sleeping next to a fishtank, if that’s what you are worried about. As long as you keep it clean. The exception is if you keep an octopus as this will wait till you go to sleep and then lift the lid, sneak out and get on your face like that thing out of alien. Just kidding.

 

My own case

I personally have been sleeping with a tank filter in the room working all night for maybe twenty years or more as indeed I did as a boy. I rarely get disturbed by the filter noise – only if it is lying against something which reverberates. If you have this problem then either use suction pads or adjust the position of the filter vis a vis the hood.  This is actually a good argument for avoiding the kind of tank sets where everything is built together.
