Opinion | 5 Ingredients for a Healthy Life

It all just makes sense if you cover your basics. And the basics are five things in life for health. And sleep is the No. 1. Get your sleep in order. Second is social relations. Super cheap and super hard at the same time. Have a great life. Enjoy it. Have friends. Have family. Third one is no drugs. You laugh now, but maybe, but coming from me, like, I hate drugs, by the way, the negative version of it. And I think the No. 1 drug which should not be even allowed is alcohol. It destroys everything. Alcohol is scientifically the worst, and it’s spiritually a path to hell. That’s my view. Yeah, I’ve never touched it, and I will never. Yeah. And by the way —— – Marijuana? – I have not touched it. I would not mix. Yeah, there are medical use cases. But again, by the way, so everything is also always a trade-off. If I would have a medical use case with marijuana help, maybe I would do it. But I clearly see the side effects, which is especially when you’re younger, by the way, it does, If you do it a lot, reduce a little bit your intellect for life. Why would I [expletive] do that. It’s like, yeah. So I have not tried any recreational drug except coffee. Yeah. And psychedelics. But that’s another topic. We’ll get to that in a sec. But everything else I think is bad. So don’t touch it. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no smoking. So then go to the gym two, three times a week, do a little bit of cardio, do a little bit of weight training. And then food intake, be mindful of that as well, because we like talking always about the risks of drugs. And at the same time, people are like, sugar is super bad for you. So have a Mediterranean diet. So these are the five basics. And they, I would say, account for 70 or 80 percent of your well-being, aging, whatever. And if you cover those basics, then, actually, enhancements add on. That’s just, like, the concept. That’s just like the concept.
