I understand getting enough sleep, but what for example is your version of "eating right"?
Well I think the common understanding of it is good enough. Fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, etc. One thing I've noticed is that avoiding junk food has powerful effects on cognition for instance. There's even evidence for this. Seriously, don't underestimate its importance.
So, not paleo then? I ignore paleo myself, but it does seem to get a lot of traction in rationalist circles; whether because it is actually beneficial or just a rationalist fad I don't know.
You know I've actually been researching paleo in the past couple of days and I've been really curious about it. I've noticed the interest rationalists have in it too. Honestly it doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm just curious if it has all the effects it claims.
I believe many or most of the health benefits of Paleo stem from the fact that it is usually low-carb (no grains, no refined carbohydrates, lots of fibrous vegetables and meat).
I dug up some good information about the health benefits of low-carb dieting & posted it here.
Can you provide links to common understanding of eating right? I suspect that I lack it.
Men's Health seems to have some good stuff on nutrition. I like especially how the magazine has lots of healthy recipes, but there's lots of stuff at their website too.
Men's Health would be about the last place I would suggest looking for advice about nutrition. Magazines almost never cite their sources, so you have no idea what quality of information they are writing from. I believe that the majority of their advice comes from epidemiological studies, which are very low quality sources of information.
