This is a potent 3 step daily:
1 -3min cold shower or plunge immediately after waking up (AWA).
5-30min of viewing sunlight ASAPAWA
(There is always *some* sun, folks, even if through cloud cover).
Resistance train, or endurance work or sprints, 6 days/week. (Notice “or”).

A highly functional schedule:
1) Sunlight & movement
2) Task completion
3) Thoughtful, reflective
4) Repeat 1-3
5) Sleep
And of course nourish, hydrate, relate & avoid energy sinks i.e., don’t mix states of mind across above steps; practice functional compartmentalization.

I was WRONG. After thoroughly reviewing these two papers - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… and ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… I am no longer convinced exercise - even heavy exercise - is immunosuppressive UNLESS in a very carb depleted state. So proceed with the indoor treadmill marathons. ;)

What science says about maximizing life:
1. Eat less often.
2. Avoid sugar & high GI foods. Eat stressed plants.
3. Do hip-hinge exercises, stretch, pant a few times a week.
4. Block blue light. Sleep well.
5. Calm your mind, never lie, don't hate.
6. Have close friends & pets.✌️

File this away under the medical wisdom forgotten with the discovery of insulin. Here's Elliot Joslin in 1910 writing about the diabetic diet and the importance of fat. Give or take that "teaspoonful of brandy," he sounds a lot like @Virta and @DrSarahHallberg today.
