For my second session the same goal is at hand, get in the best shape mentally and physically. My live well stages are set at action for exercise and healthy eating while stress is at maintenance. In terms of exercising, I have kept up with bodyweight training while mixing it up routinely to keep the workouts fresh. I have looked into diets and have been intrigued by the ketogenic diet. This diet consist of limiting carb intake to a minimum while fats and proteins make up the rest of your diet. Overall the diet seeks to put the body in ketosis, which is the most optimal state for fat burning. Before the body can burn fat it burns carbs for fuel, the keto diet skips this process by keeping carbs low and having fat storages used instead. In addition,  I have also looked into supplementation such as a multivitamin, vitamin d, and omega 3. A blood test will tell us our vitamin deficiencies but in general, it doesn’t hurt to have these three as icing on the cake on top of good nutrition, exercise and rest. Oddly enough I have also looked into nootropics recently.  Nootropics are another kind of supplement, however, more potent per dosage allowing better brain function, focus, mood and determination. These types of pills aren’t like limitless pills from the Bradley Cooper film Limitless but they help to a great extent. When needed, needed being the key word, nootropics can help with studying, exams and work. It’s no wonder that many financial executives on wall street and silicon valley employees have been known to take them to better their cognitive performance. That has been my experience with my second live well session.
