Embrace The Sun

Despite living in the tropics, most of us spend a lot of time avoiding the sun. It’s understandable. Sweating when not during a workout is uncomfortable and can be quite socially inconsiderate, and many of us have been subject to fear-mongering by sunscreen companies. The reality of it though is that we evolved under the sun and, in the right dosages, it plays an undervalued role in our health.

Culture Conditioning

When you look at your meals of the day, they do take place at different times so a reasonable argument can be made that the content of them should be tailored accordingly from an optimal nutrition standpoint. Do you think that the nutritional implications of your meal timing were taken into account when our past generations set about creating traditions? We’ll answer that for you – they didn’t.

Sleep 3.0 - The Last Resort

Do yourself a favour. Don’t read this article until you’ve read Sleep 2.0 of Joompa and implemented everything recommended there. Not bothering with any of those basic lifestyle tips but trying the hacks listed below is comparable to being that guy who takes 3 different protein shakes a day but doesn’t go to the gym. Sorry, but supplements, equipment and technology aren’t the foundation of success, they’re either a means of helping those struggling to make the basics count, or tools for those trying to get an edge to take their success to another level. This is not medical advice, but it is information you can use to discuss possible solutions with your doctor, which should be done before you begin taking any supplement.

Sleep 2.0 - Sleep like a King (or Queen)

If you read Sleep 1.0 then you’ll be well aware of how integral sleep is to almost every aspect of your health. It’s not just an inconvenient obstacle to be dealt with in the minimum required dosage for survival, but rather a key part of what is required for recovery and maintenance of the body & mind. The problem is, that you can take all the information on board and commit to creating that uncompromising 8-hour window each night, but the modern world we live in throws up tonnes of obstacles that affect our ability to actually sleep through it.

Luckily, we’ve got the solutions for you.

Sleep 1.0 - Don't wait until you're dead

We live in an age and culture where sleeping is viewed as wasting time. Why sleep, when you could be working, partying or even training. Whilst you’re lying in bed with your eyes closed, the rest of the world is getting ahead in business, having fun, or getting fitter respectively.

Except, the latter may not be true, and the first two options only true at a cost to one’s health.
