Neglected my health in ‘20 which caused qol to be much lower, my only goal for ‘21 is to put health in the 1st place. What “Asian” tips do you have? I’ll start - goji berries in water you drink.

My grandma is super healthy so you can try what she does... just walk around the neighborhood really early in the morning and wave your arms/hands wildly and stop in front of random houses to slap different parts of your body

Make sure to slap your lower back and thighs. Those are the most important parts

Stretching in the morning is SO important. Gotta let that qi flow, ya know? Even if it’s just 5 minutes you feel a difference.

Drink warm/hot water. Drink green tea after meals. Try herbal teas like jujube tea. Don’t sleep past midnight and don’t eat at least 3 hours before you sleep. Don’t sleep with wet hair.

Consistent sleep schedule. Start getting ready for bed at 9:30 pm, lights out 10 pm, up at 6 am. MWF heavy weight lifting following a strength training program. Tues/Thurs minimum, cardio at the same time you normally do strength training

Nothing is more effective more than daily exercise, vegetable-heavy and moderate calorie diet, and not stressing out. Stress and obesity are by far the biggest causes of health issues

Not Asian tip but generally I’ve stopped caring about the superficial metrics of health and care more about my own overall well-being. It’s helped tremendously in 2020 where I’m generally a more healthier person from a fitness and mental perspective. I used to hate how Asian culture glorified the skinny figure that really isn’t a “healthy” body, know many Asians who are skinny but have high blood pressure and poor cardio health. Do what makes you happy

I tried to exercise daily for at least 30 mins. I would recommend an App to track your daily activities and also offer exercise instructions.

I drink probably 2-3 cups of green tea every morning and found that it helped with my digestion and diet (I also do intermittent fasting so its a way for me to intake something before breaking my fast at lunchtime)

My mom always stresses to protect your knees and head from cold wind. In the winter, she wears leg warmers over her knees

I'm excessive and do goji berries+chrysanthemum flowers. I clown my mom for the yeet hay concept, but everytime I get a canker sore I eat 'cool' foods LOL

Glass of cold water with lemon in the morning - not "Asian" but helps kickstart the day

I make a matcha “americano” every morning so I don’t reach for coffee. Definitely no jitters and concentrate better most of the day.

I went pretty much this whole year sober (aside from getting drunk with friends once pre-covid). Drank at least 2 cups a tea everyday + begun to appreciate all the little things in life. GAME CHANGER. qol has never been better.

For people who drink tea, where and what brand do you buy? Is it on Amazon?

Pu-erh tea

Keep your feet warm when you sleep.

My goal is to eventually live off of several properties that I rent out. Not sure how many I would need but started by buying a condo last year when I had 20% down payment.

Is it better to:
1) Add the 20% into the first condo to try to knockout that mortgage as early as possible?

2) buy a 2nd condo
