Word of the Day: Alacrity - Excited and ecstatic enthusiasm or readiness. Health Cookie #4: Exercise is a crucial part of living a better life. If you were to perform any type of physical training, devotedly, and train really hard for just two years, then the benefits of those two years would span across the entirety of your next two decades. You could take two runs per week, or lift weights twice per week, or take a martial arts class twice per week, and after a couple years of that, you will have become an entirely different person for the rest of your life - a more competent, capable and dependable person. Exercise produces a surge of BDNF for your brain as well, which we covered previously in Health Cookie #2, with the intensity of the exercise determining the amount of BDNF granted to you. This means that there is refined scientific data to support the fact that exercise can help combat mental health ailments and gradually cure mental disorders like depression and anxiety, just like a cold shower can. We will cover HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) in Health Cookie #5. After years of training, it not only becomes very hard to lose the strength you've gained, but it also becomes significantly easier to maintain and grow it; In my personal case, I don't need to do a complex weight-training regimen to target different muscle groups, because I took three different martial arts simultaneously over a few years, and the variety of techniques I learned during that time have become a means for me to give my body an accurate tune-up whenever I need to, without any exercise equipment. I can perform upper blocks to target my bicepts, triceps and even the laterals in my back. I can shadowbox to rapidly accelerate my heart rate and tire my whole body out while engaging in HIIT. Push ups and sit-ups are ol' reliable, of course. But I prefer half sit ups, because they don't irritate my back on the hard floor. I can perform something ridiculous like 30 different karate stretches, to serve as a buffer against potential injury and improve flexibility/relieve joint irritation throughout my body. Regular housework and heavy lifting is never an issue for me, because I became so primed against injury as a result of my mere few years spent training as a teenager. The gains I made years ago in terms of focus and mental framework as well as dexterity and strength all still remain with me today, despite the fact that I took those three martial arts a decade and a half ago, and despite the fact that it was only for a few years. If you want to truly change your entire life, then even just ten minutes of intense training twice a week can accomplish that, even sprinting to the nearest Stop Sign and back is a tremendous boon to your health and longevity; But as with many things, the effort you sow determines the benefits you reap. If you train even harder, take cold showers even more, fast even longer, eliminate even more processed foods from your diet, etc, then you will accelerate the rate at which you become increasingly powerful. Our bodies are genuinely designed to adapt positively after every incurrence of a stressful occurrence. If you fight really hard this year to improve your health and make all the right choices, then just think of how that decision could positively influence and transform your next ten, twenty, or even thirty years of life. Speaking from personal experience, I can promise you this: It only takes six months of making just some of the right choices, to nearly undo all the damages you've incurred after six years of making all the wrong choices.
I wish I enjoyed it, I just found out yesterday night that when you die in Hardcore, your entire inventory gets deleted, even if you built a bed to respawn in. I don't think I'll be playing this again lol, at least not on Hardcore. I like the idea of needing a bed and purchasing respawns, but losing your entire inventory on death is a stupid decision from the dev. What's the point in building a bed and respawning if you literally come back with nothing 😂
