Everyone's goal is to be as healthy as possible. To reach your peak health, simply dieting and exercising isn't enough to get you there. Here are some additional things you should try to do to optimize your health, whether you're on Occam's Protocol, Geek2Freak, Paleo diet, or any diet for that matter.
1) Sleep: it is so important to get adequate (7-8 hours) of sleep every night. It helps your body restore balance, and the health benefits are irrefutable.
2) Water: drink water like its a part-time job. The more water you drink, the more toxins you flush out and the more optimally your body performs. While dehydration is a real thing, so is over-hydration. Try to drink at least 10 glasses of water throughout the day. Here's a fun fact about water weight: water weight is something you lose when you start to drink MORE water. When you're not drinking enough water, your body starts to hold on to more water as a reserve, since it knows you aren't drinking enough. When you start to drink more water, you'll naturally lose a few pounds because now the body recognizes it is constantly getting water, so it won't need to store any. *Quick way to lose some quick weight!
3) Meditation: Yoga or 5-10 minutes of morning meditation can go a long way in clearing your mind before a long, potentially rough day. Try to spend some time alone in the quiet to meditate.
