Live the MateFit Lifestyle.

The Big Three

SLEEP

Sleep 6-8 hours per night. If you are getting less than 6 hours of sleep, you will start to see every opportunity as an opportunity to catch a rest. Your brain is temporarily taken over by a feeling of reward. It sends out dopamine to your attention, motivation, and action regions of your brain. While this is happening, your pineal gland secretes melatonin signal, expecting you will give into your brain's want. Because of this stress, your sympathetic nervous system is probably freaking out, making your heart rate go crazy, and your HRV (helps regulate your level of stress and calmness) is in a horrible state. Your heart gets stuck at a higher rate which will make you physically anxious and angry. All this heart activity shuts down your pre-frontal cortex, because your body thinks you are under threat. And our pre-frontal cortex is our impulse control region in our brain.

EXCERCISE

Get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. Regular exercise will not only improve your physique, heart and lungs, it will also improve your mental ability. Exercising has shown to help improve older adults' mental performance - more specifically their fluid intelligence and decision making ability. Plus, you just ‘feel’ better when you are active.

TOXICITY

Reducing toxic agents is critical to creating a healthy body and mind. Simply put, don't eat foods that have been drenched in preservatives and chemicals, try to eat raw as much as you can. Also, limiting the amount of alcohol, salt, sugar and processed foods in your diet can accelerate your health and wellbeing.
