Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🚶‍♂️‍➡️ When to walk:

Most experts recommend walking after eating. 

I do the opposite. Walk, then eat.

After a meal, your body enters "rest and digest" mode to facilitate digestion. 

Our ancestors hunted first, ate second, then rested. 

Exercise before meals, not after.
 

After I posted this, many rebutted that walking after a meal helps reduce blood sugar spikes.

To that I would say, it's probably wise not to eat a diet that dysregulates your blood sugar in the first place.

🤒 How sickness keeps you oriented:

I was sick this week. 

It was a good reminder that everything feels super important...until you're sick. Then you realize that health is most important.

A healthy man wants a thousand things. A sick man only wants one.

A good ol' cold can serve as a reminder not to take your health for granted and to invest in it daily. 

You can have 100 problems in life until you have a health problem. Then, you only have 1 problem.

🍋 When life gives you lemons:

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right?

So, I've been squeezing lemons in my water for a bit of extra vitamin C.

But, I don't recommend letting restaurants put lemons in your water.

I thought for sure the article was going to be about pesticides from the peel being dumped into your water, but they didn't even mention that!

💡 How to achieve:

Achievement is a lagging indicator of habits.

Training comes before strength.

Practice comes before skill.
Learning comes before expertise.

Preparation comes before opportunity.

You must put the wood in before the fire.
But many people want the warmth before the work.

The bill comes first. The reward comes later.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world."

– Marcel Proust, on unteachable lessons

📊 How much is $100 worth:

This is the value of $100 from 1635 to 2026.

What cost $100 in 1635 would cost nearly $4,000 today.

Unless you think this chart is going to slow, the demand for hard, scarce assets like bitcoin and gold will probably increase.

🤔 Are you intelligent:

"Weird" habits that are signs of high intelligence.

As always, it's an honor getting to spend some time with you. 

Hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

Orange juice tastes bad after brushing your teeth. Here's why. 

Or maybe...it's because you shouldn't drink that! 😉
