I'd exercise before eating protein, chew my food, eat around 25-35g of protein each meal, and sit up straight while I eat.

It's amazing how much analytics can improve performance. If you're a runner, you might find this useful. If you're not, it's a metaphor for pretty much everything else in your life. Be better by doing things differently, not by doing more.
An Aging Marathoner Tries to Run Fast After 40

It's finally up. All of my bartending friends; all of my entrepreneurial friends; hell, all of my friends in general, watch this. If you're not getting enough sleep, it's not a badge of honour. It's literally killing you. There are a heap of negative outcomes associated with getting < 6 hours of sleep. And I *know* you all think that "you're one of those special ones who gets by with only 4 hours of sleep". But you can't *all* be right.

I'd get more sleep, or die early. "I'll sleep when I'm dead" is remarkably prescient.

I'd watch this and my head would explode.
This is what I came to see at TED. Groundbreaking research. They engineered their own protein, and when that didn't work, they *evolved* one, and that was just a tiny tool they used to edit genetic point mutations. High hopes for this science.
David Liu also makes it so understandable. Great job!
Can we cure genetic diseases by rewriting DNA?
In a story of scientific discovery, chemical biologist David R. Liu shares a breakthrough: his lab's development of base editors that can rewrite DNA. This crucial step in genome editing takes the promise of CRISPR to the next level: if CRISPR proteins are molecular scissors, programmed to cut speci...

I'd sleep more.
Matt Walker just spent his 18 minutes at slapping the masters of the universe upside the head, letting them know that their all-nighters and 3:30 AM wake-up times will put them in the ground.
As an aside, I just started going back through my old posts here and holy crap there is some gold there! I need to revive this as a place to post stuff that I think is cool. I went down a rabbit hole just on the strength of my WWID? posts. I'm just sad some of them have reached zero people.

I'd read this story about the how an intrepid group of explorers tried to bring closure to the families of lost WW II Naval men.
The Epic Hunt for a Lost World War II Aircraft Carrier
In 1942, a volley of torpedoes sent the U.S.S. Wasp to the bottom of the Pacific. For decades, the families of the dead wondered where in the lightless depths of the ocean the ship could possibly be. Earlier this year, a team of wreck hunters set out to find it.
