[#LifeHack] Improve your energy level in 10 minutes

I always value a good quality sleep of 7 hours or so. And yet there are days (or evenings/nights) when I can’t really go to bed at the set hour. And the next day I am completely messed up.

There are many ways in which one can get a flow of energy, from movement to napping to hydration/caffeine, but for today I want to recommend you a different type of exercise: the non-sleep deep rest routine with Dr. Andrew Huberman.

So for the next 10 minutes or so, if you feel low energy, tired, lack of interest and so on, try the below routine: #NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) with Dr. Andrew Huberman (youtube.com)

What happens in this short routine? In this 10-minute meditation, Stanford neuroscientist @Andrew Huberman of HubermanLab guides you through a Non-Sleep Deep Rest protocol (NSDR) to enhance the learning process by reducing day-time fatigue and improving focus. It can also greatly enhance your sleep, boost your mood, and promote Neuroplasticity – the ability of your brain to change and grow. If you're looking for ways to boost your brainpower and improve your sleep, give this simple meditation a try!

[Eat Well] Want some proteins?

Eat Well: Want Some Proteins? When I was in my early 30s, I found myself constantly battling hunger pangs and struggling to maintain a healthy weight. Despite eating what I thought was a balanced diet, I often felt unsatisfied and reached for unhealthy snacks. It wasn’t until I discovered the power of protein that everything changed. The Importance of Protein Protein is a crucial macronutrient that plays a vital role in our bodies. It helps build and repair tissues, makes enzymes and hormones, and is a building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. But beyond these essential functions, protein has a unique ability to keep us feeling full and satisfied, which can be a game-changer for weight management.
