In my view, we are physical/emotional/intellectual creatures and harmonious functioning of all three centers leads to exponentially increasing productivity.
Physically, I treat the body as a machine that runs on macronutrients (fiber, protein,carbs) and micronutrients. I looked up daily requirements of each macro and I make sure I get them. Micronutrients come from a vitamin. A cornerstone of my diet is the protein smoothie - orange juice, brown rice protein, probiotic yogurt. Muscles are made of protein and they grow by stressing them until they breakdown then letting them regrow bigger. So, I do cardio every day and weights alternating upper/lower 5/7 days.
Emotionally, the key for me is minimizing lying and living according to my principles. I also make sure to take time to take pleasure and relaxation. This does wonders for my motivation. I also try not to express or fixate on negative emotions, rather to take them as a signal that change is required and then let them go by as unnecessary wastes of energy.
Intellectually, I am merciless with myself. I use lists and lots, really a lot, totally excessive numbers of tests to make sure that I'm not seeing what I want to see.
That's about my philosophy of living a healthy life.
