Mark Hyman's Longevity Journal: Building a Routine
James Clear said, “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
Building a routine becomes pivotal for creating the life that you want. Many wonder how I have managed to stay healthy, vibrant, and youthful at age sixty-three while many of my peers are winding down. It all comes down to my daily habits.
We all know that life gets busy, but to stay healthy, you have to have a set of non-negotiables that you make time for daily. Today I want to share the non-negotiables that have kept me strong in body and mind despite having multiple jobs and days of travel. Knowing all the possibilities to slow and reverse aging may feel overwhelming, but you have to choose what resonates with you. I hope this will inspire you to build your routine.

Remember the (4) S's for weighing:
♦ Same TIME of day (on the)
♦ Same DAY each week (wearing the)
♦ Same CLOTHING (and using the)
♦ Same SCALE to Measure Yourself - Remember, sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but the waistline will.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the week. Our temperature high in Central Florida is forecasted to be 89 so I'm enjoying the time before the a/c starts cranking away. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
I'll be back with my weigh-in a few days from now. Oh, I also got a library book around that time written by Carolyn Dean, MD, ND called "The Miracle of Magnesium" which explained loads of research and facts. ☺♥

If you search for "Mark Hyman on Ultra Simple Diet," his articles will pop up.
I love how he explains that emergency room crash carts used to use magnesium rather than all the pharmaceuticals.
I meant to log in with my results yesterday. Am up another pound. I think it's my pistachio habit? I do know I'm having more carbs than usual so will have to get back on track with keeping those around 30g.
I have gotten back on the exercise track again. It is one of those non-negotiables. I didn't realize I copied those last two paragraphs twice. Sorry about that in the article. Two days in a row, I've gotten my stretching, core exercises and bands done so I'm back to it. Even though I had physical therapy today as well so it's a plus. Hope the week is going well for everyone!
