I am familiar with many health systems. Intuitively, I only accept those that make me feel happy. I do yoga, Pilates, stretching, and sometimes attend aerial canvas classes.

I do not like asceticism or outrageous restrictions, I just replace the harmful with the useful, analyzing which of the useful will make me happy. I will never eat, for example, a banana, if I want cottage cheese. Occasionally I can pamper myself and remember my childhood, having fried potatoes with mushrooms and washed it down with milk. 1-2 times a year, such deviations will not do much harm to my body. I don’t remember when I was last sick, I look younger than my age.
