What helped you feel full of energy?

Middle aged guy here.

What helped you the most with energy levels. I mean just sort of “energy for life” energy where I wake up happy and have lots of energy. Here’s what I’m doing now and it’s working alright, but I really want a lot more 😎👍

  1. Gym 3x a week but no cardio

  2. Meat but also lots of vegetables and fats

  3. Low body fat about 10%

  4. Changed to a job where I genuinely like people I work with and laugh a bit almost every day with them

  5. Vitamin d

  6. No alcohol

  7. Eight hours sleep (this helped a lot!!)

  8. No news. Full stop. Maybe once a week. too much repetitive bad stuff about economy and war. Yes it sucks but I don’t need reminders mornin noon and night 🙂

9 . No rap/hip hop. This sounds pretty lame but listening to relaxing guitar instrumental instead of news updates or aggressive music on the way to work actually puts me in a good mood/vibe which rubs off on my coworkers and strangers in general. Really important. Learned this off a Thai guy

  1. Water and coffee only in the morning so I can sleep properly

Honestly the relaxing music, vegetables each meal (I microwave lots of frozen vegetables every day with salt and olive oil) lots of sleep and “no news” I think had the biggest impact. And working with funny coworkers – lots of job changes were required to get to this.

What has worked for you?
