I have looked at longevity a lot. All this is cool and you can be in your 50s and be as healthy as someone in their 30s but there is a cliff between 60-70 which will fuck you up and you will still die at 85-90.

Atleast quality of life per unit time is better one way than another

Rounding up 2023, all of us learnt a ton. I'm sharing this one website which I found extremely interesting. It covers some fundamental mental models which would be helpful to many here.

Looking forward to what other Grapeviners 🍇 were upto this year.

How companies acquired their first 1000 users/customers! Basically Growth hacks

Personally, I think the underlying factor for me has been being strict with myself. I try to work out 6x a week on a regular basis. Using my finances wisely with healthy meals. I mean, a burger from Louis Burger or a Pizza from Pizza Bakery is baller but in the long run that's a real killer. Finally, I have been trying to prioritize sleep which means don't scroll reels/social media for 30 minutes before bed if it is 1am already. 

What about you?

How do you manage your lifestyle for a healthy way of living?

And here I am eating junk food everyday and barely exercising 🙂 
 This gave me some motivation

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

I was in a similar situation where I felt lost and disconnected throughout the day. Things that worked for me:- 
  
 (1) Cut caffeine and sugar completely - strictly 0% consumption. Caffeine is really bad for sleep quality. 
 (2) Increase vitamin D intake - sunlight and supplements. Deficiency leads to general fatigue and brain fog. 
 (3) Improve sleep quality - have camomile tea, get a good mattress and comforter, sleep before 1 AM to be in deep sleep in the 2 AM to 4 AM range 
 (4) Cold showers - not sure if they do anything at all but I've felt a noticeable increase in energy levels after doing them (even if placebo)

Money does get you a lot. better skin, groomed, polished look

Business Analyst

Anyone who has cracked it?

Gym 4 days a week. 
 6-8 hrs of work + Leetcode daily + any one other productive item 
 My recreation is music. Listening and playing, that happens in the last 2 hours of the day. It gets replaced with going out generally. 
  
 I also do a trade off between items daily, as per priority, so it sort of works out. 
  
 Anymore items and I breakdown and need a break. So avoiding burnout while being productive is a daily thing. 
  
  
 The one thing. Read this book 4 months ago, did wonders for me mentally.

Staff Engineer

Had a regular yearly check up 2 weeks back and found that I'm diabetic. Both my parents are diabetic and I assumed I'll be as well at some point in my life as an inheritance from them but never thought this early. I did not tell this to anyone, not even my wife. Took me 2 weeks to get hold of myself and let the feeling sink in.
Started making changes to my life style since yesterday and started working out as well. Today is Day-2.

Health scare at 35

My Experience:

2 years back I was detected Pre-diabetic. Cut down consumption of white sugar to zero. Cut down on any food that has White Sugar in it (Biscuits, Ice Cream, Desserts, cold drinks, etc.). Became conscious of reading ingedrients/Contain's part when I buy any packed food. 

Developed habit of walking 8K steps or burning 150Kcal after dinner. My glycemic levels are now normal. I am no longer a pre-diabetic. This can be managed with active lifestyle. White sugar is a poison. Rely on Fruits to fulfill the glucose levels of your body. 

PS: After 2 years I've started consuming food having white sugar occasionally ( on Diwali or Holi and that too in limits). Never restricted myself from consuming naturally sweet fruits (Banana, Mango, Apple, etc.).

Here’s some context. I have been hitting the gym on and off for like a year now. My body weight is 65kgs. I can bench press 60 kgs, can deadlift 120kgs. I can jog 5kms in roughly 30 mins. I am 21 years old. Though I know these are decent numbers from a health perspective, I feel inferior when looking at people lift significantly more on social media. I feel like my body is not at all in a good shape. I see people posting insane transformations in 3 or 6 months, and here I am stagnant with my progress inspite of hitting the gym for a year now. Do anyone of you guys feel the same way? On top of this, when I share my progress with friends who don’t know much about fitness, they ain’t impressed at all. They see influencers lifting insane numbers and consider that too be the norm. 
FYI I don’t take any supplements, hence hitting my protein target has been pretty much not possible most days.

Is Social media setting unrealistic beauty standards?

Welcome to Get Motivated's Private Community

Fitness enthusiasts, what's the most unconventional workout or diet that actually worked for you?

The number of times I've heard people say shit like 'traveling makes you grow as a person'. Someone please specify what this growth looks like because I've never experienced it.

I don't think traveling is life-changing. I think most people have a romanticized, cinema-like idea of traveling that has been exaggerated even more because of social media. 

It definitely is fun to go on a vacation. But in most cases, that's all it is -- a source of entertainment. Maybe an ice-breaker the next time you go to some pretentious party. 

Am I missing something?

Is travelling overrated?

It depends how & where u travel.  
  
 I will put a quick example - Someone close to me always assumed ki roads usually breakdown in monsoons because it is normal in india. Once they traveled abroad and to a tropical island where rains are very common. After seeing the roads there, first comment was - “Roads don’t break always due to rains”. So, this was a life long learning for that human, broke the mirage of road quality and execution in India.  
  
 Similarly, once I went to a 3-days long trek with a friend to inner jungles of SEAsia. We had to carry drinking water with us & took bath in flowing river. If you have seen “Iss jungle se mujhe bachao” (desi version of fear factor) was shot there. This friend of mine after landing back made a statement “yaar jisne bhi shower invent kiya hai, it’s a big gift”. Takeaway from this travel was - He was able to appreciate the simplest thing which we take for granted.  
  
 Many people learn new things about culture, practices of a new place. My personal surprise was when I traveled to Bali and saw similarities between theirs n ours practices. Helped me to go back n read about various things of empires.  
  
 Multiple such stories, so yeah, it depends!

Fitness and health are a joke in this country

Intern

Hi guys,
Both me and my wife weight between 100-105 kg. Oru baby is 1 year old. We want to loose weight but we can hardly access gym due to tight schedule. We both have fatty liver , wife has got gall bladder stone and she is a feeding mother.

We want to reach first milestone around 80-85 kg which was out weight 2 years back.

Is there any free app to plan and guide weightloss. We heard like calorie deficit diet can help. Also cutting down the sugar and junk food.

Any thoughts?
