Why
Exercise and supplementation share many downstream pathways. One amplifies the other.
🚶 Activity & lifestyle
Add
Daily sunlight exposure (15–20 minutes), adequate hydration (2–3L), stress-reduction practice
Reduce
Processed food consumption, prolonged sitting, late-night screen time
Bedroom
7–9 hours sleep; all supplements work better with adequate rest.
