How do you maintain energy levels (+/- 40y old guys thread)

[justaroundthecorner]

I have noticed that my energy levels recetly started to drop even more (I see a visible step down every 5-6 years now -I have definitely less energy when I was 34). How do you keep this battle running and winning - this is a quesion to 40y old guys predominantly, as it is possible that x<35 guys pretty much dont know what I am talking about.

My ideas are mostly gym & running as well as sleeping at least 7 hours. per day What arey your methods guys?

Sleep
Diet

Also I quit drinking booze compared to my 20s and 30s where I would drink multiple times a week. Now I drink once a week tops, on the rare occasion I do drink more than once a week it's never at home (I seldom keep liquor at the house now unless I know I have lady coming etc)

Supplements zinc, GABA, vitamin C&D, Maca root etc

Exercise and good diet go a long way. Good diet is highly underestimated, but it's so so important. Eat light, include lots of protein and veggies, and you'll be flying high.

Receiving fellatio first thing in the morning, then an espresso macchiato and vaping some cannabis, that gets me going.

Eliminated alcohol
Lots of Sativa
Coffee
Walking & Weightlifting

Learning to be more appreciative and grateful for experiences and possessions.

But its a paradox, fending off the effects of time (it always wins).


Though some are not lucky enough to age at all.

Yup, I need to cut on cakes/sweets (I started to eat it more due to my wife and her parents preparing a lot of "treats" for us - I was pretty much low sugar guy until I started hitting more of "family events").

I have also neglected my basic training routine (probably that hit me hard alas some positive effects are still around and some of them were around for long but have disappeared just recently).

I sucked at proper sleep (alas I am better at it right now) - this getting back at me. Same for improper preparation for workouts (lack of proper warm-ups), I also drive car much more than I was before I was 35 (due to more family-oriented life). More driving, less walking.'

Stressful white collar job also does not help.
