keeping it real
Yeah, I try to not eat 3 hours before bed, I don't always succeed but I feel better when I do.It's 2:30 am here and I am munching on corn chips while watching Star Trek: Voyager. For me it is not late, as I live by a different schedule.
I assume you're looking at this from a health angle. Just please remember that not everyone's "late at night" is actually when it's dark out.
I'm more concerned with how my stomach feels in the morning when I eat late @ night. Breakfast is overrated, better to just start your day, grab a banana & have a solid lunch.Actually meal timing has no effect on weight gain or loss. It's made up. Studies have debunked this time and time again. All that nonsense about don't skip breakfast, jump start your metabolism and don't eat late at night cus it slows your metabolism, is just that, nonsense. It's simply because people who eat breakfast tend to have better habits so it's a correlation, not a cause, and also people who eat late at night it's usually watching tv, mindlessly eating snacks, so again it's habits causing a correlation, not a cause.

Sex is great but it's not worth staying in a bad relationship for. And then when you're not in a relationship you have to use godawful condoms. Plus people acclimate to their current partners to the point where even someone 2 or 3 points lower in looks suddenly becomes more attractive. If I were the Grand Deisgner I definitely would change many things about sex (I'm still pretty pleased with the current system overall).Sex. It's a biological need (to procreate). You don't actually need to procreate but you still should be fulfilling your biological side of it. Tons of studies show how it's healthy for you. I'm talking about the physical aspect, not just intimacy. It's important and gets neglected in many western societies probably cus our pilgrim puritan forefathers thought it's naughty and needs to be confined to the marriage bed. Just be responsible about it.
Sleep is so important. Probably more important than diet for one's mental health.Sleep. Most people do not get either enough or high enough quality. Sleep is essential for your body to regulate hormones which affect all sorts of other things to do with your health.
"Good" is not an absolute property unto itself so this is really difficult beyond just stating preferences/opinion.
- Laughing w one's friends (for just the right amount of time) --> what is the "right" amount of time? If this gets to be a moving goalpost it's pretty convenient!
- Not eating late @ night --> definitely wise if you mean "near bedtime" and have reflux issues.
- Mindful exercise --> as in exercising while avoiding injury?
Yeah you answered it.It all comes down to one's utility function(s) really.
- Meaningful work --> How does one decide/assign meaning?
I'm asking for ultimate good but ultimately it's a silly question, what I'm really asking is "what's good 99% of the time in 99% of situations".
Who says?I'm incapable of knowing what is good.
