There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic. A man’s own observation, what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health.

General advice about health is written for the average person, who does not exist. What actually works for you is discoverable only by you, from attention paid over time: which meals leave you heavy, which hours you sleep well after, what your body does with a late night or a hard week. That personal record beats any rule, because it is about the particular body you have to live in.

Start keeping a rough note of how you feel and what preceded it. After a month you will have two or three reliable findings of your own, and those are worth more than another article telling everyone the same thing.
