China 7 months: Schedule

5.30- in the school yard or by a river near the national park I perform my own Chi Kung, breathing squats, downward dogs, then I perform the Praying Mantis forms very slowly as a form of Tai Chi, meditate for 5-10min then I have a quick cold shower.

7.00- breakfast which currently is porridge with soya powder, goji berries, honey and peanut butter. Later changed to fruit, *4-6 boiled eggs and a cup of Green tea which worked for me much better especially when i implemented my own training into the schedule.

8.30-10 training Mantis

10.30-11.30 training Mantis

12- lunch

12.30-3 reading, nap, computer stuff, drink a litre of *Green tea

3-4.30 training Mantis

4.30-6 my own training which usually involves body weight movements, weights, energy system work

6.30- dinner

7.0- slow walk

8.0- a cold shower

8.30- read

9.0- sleep

I love this schedule. Sleeping at 9 and waking at 5.30 is the best sleep pattern i've ever had. I feel fantastic. Sleep quality and rhythm is real important to me, if i have less than 8hrs of sleep, or have to wake before light (which is the case when i'm seeing clients) i feel like crap even when everything in my life is healthy.

Green tea has been used for thousands of years as a beverage and therapeutic agent. In countries such as Japan and China, the drinking of teas has remained a commonality among the people of these countries. Green tea has antioxidants that help against the breakdown of tissue. In fact, studies have been done using green tea to help with certain Cancers. It has many benefits which include improved fat loss, a cancer preventative, helping with diarrhea, protecting the skin from sun damage and even tooth decay.

I feel pretty good off drinking a litre a day. Used to in London take in supplementation form which is also good.

Some may say aren't i worried about the amount of Cholesterol i'm consuming. The only thing i'm concerned with is not eating enough. Cholesterol gives structural integrity to your cells and is needed for certain hormones. Cholesterol will only attach itself to the walls of the arteries to protect them from the poison that may be floating through your bloodstream from eating crap or taking drugs, medical or otherwise.

The problem is made worse if adequate antioxidants are not consumed. It's not the Cholesterol, it's the state of the persons body consuming the Cholesterol. Ever since everyone has started avoiding Cholesterol, Saturated fats and fats in general there has been a steady increase in brain disorders such as Alzheimer's. The brain is 70% fat and the rest is protein. Don't eat enough fat, then prepare to get stupid.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that Alzheimer’s disease is now the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, surpassing diabetes. Diabetes caused by eating to much sugar and grains and Alzheimer's caused by not eating enough fat and protein yet the Governments of modern society still insist that the average citizen should consume anywhere from 6-11 servings of grains a day.

Death Rates (i use American stats because they are usually a good indicator of the state of the rest of modern society)

1st heart disease
2nd cancer
3rd doctors
-
6th alzheimer
7th diabetes

Modern eating+modern medicine to combat modern living= misery, pain and death.
