Lifestyle

Sunlight and UV Protection
When UV index is 2 or higher: I wear a hat
When UV index is 4 or higher: I try to avoid having exposed skin, wear sunscreen, and/or limit time outside

Functional Flexibility
I’ve removed chairs entirely from my home routine
When eating at home, I sit on a yoga mat
I rotate between the following positions: Sukhasana, Seiza, resting squat, V-sit

Ergonomics
I use a standing desk that is always in standing position with a wobbling mat
Arms are at ~90 degrees while typing
Center of monitor is ~eye height

Air Quality
I avoid busy roads while running

Chemical Exposure
I avoid:
Touching receipts (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122232)

Microplastic Exposure
I avoid:
Eating canned foods
Drinking bottled water
Microwaving foods in plastic containers
Storing foods in plastic containers

I have switched to a stainless steel water bottle

Dental Care
2x/day brush teeth
1x/day thick floss
2x/day tongue scraper

Nail Biting
I am (or used to be) the worst nail biter I had ever met. For many years, my fingers were almost always red, swollen, and bleeding, since I also bit the skin around my nails. I'm not sure why I did this, but I suspect it was a coping mechanism for stress or boredom. I used a bitter, clear nail polish to quit and no longer do this!
