The 10 best times for people to.....

One of my readers sent me this great piece on productivity. While most of these about general well being and therefore non-personal finance related, understand that without a healthy mind and body, money is unimportant.

1. Best time to Study - When you wake up in the morning, you will probably feel tired and dizzy. However, once you wash your fast, you will be energized and refreshed. This is also the time where your mind is the clearest, so studying in early morning will help you remember everything much easier!
2. Best Time to Exercise - It’s great to go out for a walk in the morning because air is the freshest during that time. It can not only help clear your mind but is great for your body as well!
3. Best Time to Eat Fruits - One hour before a meal is best. This is because as fruits are mostly eaten cold, eating it first before your hot meal won’t cause your body to increase excessive white blood cell production. This is good to protect your immune system.
4. Best Time for Training - The best time for training is in late afternoon / early evening. The reason is because this time is when your body is performing at the best. In other times of the day, your blood pressure and heart beats are usually higher, so training during those times are harmful to your body.
5. Best Time to Shower - Right before bedtime is usually the best time to shower, as it relaxes your joints and muscles to give you a better night’s sleep.
6. Best Time to Sleep - For afternoon nap, it’s best to do it after 1pm because that’s the time when your body is the most sluggish. At night, going to bed at 10 to 11pm is best. This is due to the fact that a human’s deep sleep usually happens around 2-3am, and the fact that it takes a body approximately 1 and a half hours to get into deep sleep.
7. Best Time to Brush Your Teeth - 3 minutes after every meal. This is because acid will start to be broken down from the food, which start damaging your teeth.
8. Best Time for Skin Care - Skin care is best done at night because that’s when your skin is in recovery mode. (It is also the time when no one else other than your spouse are looking at you!)
9. Best Time to Drink Tea - Definitely not within one hour after a meal, as drinking tea may block the absorption of non-heme iron. Therefore, it is wise to wait one hour after your meal to allow the nutrition to be fully absorbed.
10. Finally, Best Time to be Financially Responsible - All the time. Period.
