If you were to rank out of the three, sleep, exercise, nutrition, which one is the one you have to really make sure you don't stuff it up?
2
Sleep. By far. By far.
3
There's still so much research to be done on why we actually need to sleep.
4
There's lots of research that's done that shows what happens during sleep
5
and how it is important for total body reparation and metabolic control
6
and body comp and cognition and reducing inflammation and all of the things that promote our public burden diseases.
7
I always kind of step back
8
because I used to be one of these people I would compromise sleep so I could get in a training session, especially when I was racing high level.
9
I was like working, I have to work late, but then I have to get up to get my training in.
10
And I was always a little bit sleep deprived.
11
My training wasn't going where I wanted.
12
The races weren't going where I wanted.
13
I was suffering in work.
14
And I was like, oh, wait a second, it's sleep.
15
So then I started prioritizing sleep and putting parameters around how I'm sleeping, when I'm sleeping, and really getting good sleep hygiene in.
16
And then everything else improved because we can't show up for other people
17
if we're chronically sleep-deprived and inflamed and just not cognitively there from poor sleep.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
