Wellness Wisdom - Dilip Kumar

Health & fitness advice from tech entrepreneur & endurance athlete, Dilip Kumar -

1. Focus on what you eat, as well as when and how much you consume.  

2. Cook your own meals—it’s a key step to taking control of your health.  Avoid processed foods that come in boxes, bags, or cans, especially those high in refined grains and sugar. 

3. Eat a high-protein, nutrient-dense diet.  

4.  Exercise to feel confident, prevent disease, and counteract the negative effects of a desk job.

5.   Prioritize strength training to build and maintain muscle, especially as you age by including activities like lifting weights, home workouts, running, or sports.

6.   Consistency matters more than intensity—stick to a routine. 

7.  Treat sleep as a performance enhancer:  

    - Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed.  

    - Avoid screens for 1 hour before bed.  

8. Balance stress with adequate rest, as growth comes from both.

9. Be curious and read scientific literature rather than relying on clickbait articles.

10. Understand that healthcare systems benefit from your ignorance—educate yourself.
