Random lifehacks episode 1

When I was much younger I used to love reading Men's health magazine, it was full of random workout routines and lifehacks, great for killing time on the bus to university. I used to write down some of the little facts and lifehacks that I learnt, here are a few:
  • Blue light is linked to arousal and as effective as drinking a coffee for an energy boost (Try and install a blue light filter for any screen-work on your computer/tablet/pc before bed, it will help you sleep better)
  • Avoid drinking lots of fluids with mealtimes, it can dilute the effect of your gastric juices affecting digestion. It's the small things that make a difference to how you look and feel. (Drinking a glass of water just after you wake up will help you wake up and feel better)
  • 7AM is the best time to do aerobic exercise for reducing nocturnal systolic blood pressure – and increasing duration of deep sleep. 7PM is the best time to do aerobic exercise for reducing nocturnal diastolic blood pressure
  • The BMI on average is lower in gardeners, Gardeners also self report higher rates of self esteem and positive mood. (Plant a snake plant for 100% oxygen production, it's the plant NASA want to take to Mars, it's produces oxygen day and night).
