3 Things I did well, no matter how small
- 14 German Units
- Having written food first before morning routine
- Writing a message to my previous German teacher requesting text reviewing times
1 Thing I could do better
- It's time to take the foot of the table.
It seems I am in the process of developing an unhealthy habit, namely - Eating a big quantity of food volumewise without sufficient pauses in between.
Unhealthy means it may, and in the long term if not dealt with probably will cause health damage. In fact, it probably already is, and possibly have.
In particular:
Big quantities of blood flowing to the stomach and away from other organs may cause:
-Early falling asleep without sufficient space in between sleeping and eating, which may cause GERD Gastroesophagial Reflux Disease
-Digestion during sleep may cause reduced sleep quality
-My planned evening activities go to the trash
-Reduced bloodflow to the brain closes extreme mindfog, which makes it extremely hard to concentrate, and even if I do, through willpower, manage to stay awake - Reduces my studying or activity effectiveness in general drastically.
-Besides the temporary effect of reduced effectivity - Longterm a reduced bloodflow to the brain, may and probably will cause motoric damage. If it hasn't already(Probably did, but in a neglectible manner for now)
This in turn may cause:
-Earlier dementia or other cognitive diseases
-A reduced ability to collect and maintain things in the memory
which may mean I may have a reduced capacity to maintain learned languages or skills, or maybe have it completely impaired.
-Healing processes are reduced as a result of decreased sleep efficiency (Because of digestion and interruptions) which may cause slower workout recovery, and in the long term a reduced ability for some physical abilities, for example running hindering injuries, like I have now. Which I do not necessarily attribute to solely lack of sleep, but lack of sleep may definitely contribute to it's development and worsening, whether to an already existing condition or a development of a new one.
None of those conclusions have been thoroughly researched promptly before writing here, although they were based on my existing knowledge which I somewhat gathered in the past and possibly through scientific reads too, I do not know the sources now, but those are my presuppositions. I might be wrong in one or the other of them, but what is certain is that I am doing harm.
Which is why today I have written in the schedule that I will switch the places of food preparation and the morning routine.
I have a planned space between meals which is 3 hrs and 45 minutes, not to be crossed(Also lunch and dinner are no longer allowed to be eaten together). This might mean that I have to wake up earlier on running days or just eat a calorie deficit. I don't know yet. But health is very important and If I want to keep it I need to find a solution to this situation. And not a temporary one at that, rather one tied with a habit.
3 Separate meals and 3hrs 45 minutes in between at least Day 0
