I added ready made ready made cereals back into my breakfast routine after developing a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Before then, a summer favorite, taken from Pick Up Limes was to allow Plain Yogurt mixed with fresh berries or peaches to sit overnight in my refrigerator. In the morning, I would top that with muesli, pecans and coconut. I have a single prescription I take on waking. Getting in the habit of drinking my 8 oz. of water with that prescription. Lunch is still my main meal of the day.
Thank you sir. Everything you suggest make a lot of sense.
Thanks for giving good info re:sleep. My average sleep time is 6 1/2 hrs. I’m not pleased with that at all esp. since I’m doing much to promote sleep quality (water, exercise, low caffeine). My chronotype is “bear”. Guess appropriate! Any suggestions?
I do this as much as I can. But pls can you advise when I have a night shift, should I nap before the shift & go to bed when I finish in the morning? Or try to stay awake either side to get back to ‘normal’?
I have worked different shift hours. I learned to sleep 3 hours before my night shift and 3 hours after. This allowed me to be awake during "normal" hours on the weekends and the days when I was not working. To spend time with family, and not be tired while working. I often took a college class, no more than one at a time, while I was working.
Doctor, what is the optimal time for physical training? How many hours after wake up? I usually train 2-3 hours after waking up, is it too early?
Up
I get up and 30 minutes after i workout. It's tough, i dont feel energised
Caffeine actually lasts 12 hours in my system so my last cup has to be around 8:00 a.m.
Do you have a study to indicate the 12 hours?
@@sandiegotri619 I'm unable to fall asleep for up to 12 hours after I've consumed caffeine. Each person's body is different. So that's my experience.
How come after an afternoon in the pool and being outdoors I still can’t sleep ?
Constant changes in work shifts wreck the possibility to do the ability to have a consistent get up/go to bed schedule.🙄
Working rotating shifts can really mess with your health. My dad worked rotating shifts his entire adult life, and died of colon cancer at 53. Do a Google search on “Health Risks of Shift Work” to learn what to look for as far as taking care of yourself.
Great tips
