{quote} You mentioned that trading impacts your health. what i meant was to minimise impact of trading on your health, you minimise time in trade, especially bad one. one measure at least. prevention better than cure.
I didn't say that trading was affecting my health, but that is a reasonable assumption, this being a trading forum.

But exchange rates are putting me under a certain amount of stress as I live in Thailand and my money is in the UK
5 or 6 years ago I was getting 70+ Thai Baht for my GBP
The next time that I moved money over, I got around 60 Baht
Last time, I got 49
Now I have to move more and it is 44
I am concerned because if the exchange rate gets much worse, then I may be unable to live here for much longer. I am worried that the total collapse of the major currencies is getting closer and closer.

In other words, going to the gym not only in the middle of the day but even in the middle of a trade will optimize your trading psyche to make the most profitable judgment call on a trade’s exit point. Pumping iron or spinning those bike wheels turns what we used to call physical energy into market-reading clarity. In fact, it is likely that your better read on the market’s next dance will seemingly magically come to you when your earbuds have your favorite song beating and not when you are staring at every tick trying to force the screen to give up the future’s secrets.

Our health is the most precious value we have. I can't imagine that I could destroy myself or beeing week. I cant do this for my family.
My routin looks like this. Im trading and making automated systems for one of the company and during the day Im working. Also after work if I see an opportunity Im trading for private account. 2 times a week Im swimming 45mins trying to beat my own records each time. In the gym Im making typical excersises, each day different parts of muscles. Of course Im increasing weight of iron

I advice anyone to implement even minimum activity in their life. Especially for traders. The article above telling that its also healthy for our wallets

Hi
Understand that health is most important to maintain peace of mind and wealthy living.

Having entered to this kind of trading habits, one cannot resist like smoking habit.

But some kind of an exercise before the start of the day will be very useful and if that

trade has turned out to be positive as expected and calculated, just take profit, relax

and do not stare at the monitor at least for half an hour.

What is destined to happen will defenitely happen and keep cool

Keeping yourself active helps you to concentrate and focus on the market. As we all know winning and losing is part of this game.If you keep yourself fit it helps you to stay controlled during the hard times which is very essential in the present market conditions
Just read this article posted by rayzeel definitely a nice one

{quote} I have seen enough of this as well. There are 3 key ratios in the body, they are the sodium/potassium, calcium/magnesium and zinc/copper. These need to be kept in a very tight range to be healthy, people who have been under a lot of stress will loose zinc and magnesium very quickly, this is done to prop up the sodium level so the adrenal glands can mount a stress response. So you can see if trading puts you under stress enough all these ratios will be affected, once this has been going on a few years eventually the sodium level will start...
How would one possibly measure these levels without the annoyance of regular doctor visits and blood tests? One surely could not

too much copper in the brain will give you a tired body but an overactive mind, one that can't switch off when you want to relax you'll be thinking all the time

Um... Sounds a lot like someone I know

What is this line of study called?

Write a book.. I'm all ears!

You need to do tissue testing as the imbalances are at the cellular level not blood, if you had imbalances in your blood i think you would probably be dead. Hair testing is an option, have a look at this website if you are interested.

Hello friends "Health is real wealth"
On a side note cutting sugar out of the diet is meant to be good for the trading brain!

Yeah I agree Cutting sugar out of the diet is better for trading brain and keeps your brain active but I don't think most people will do that because of the cravings .They are not gonna stop eating sugar unless and until they have diabetes.Some suggest to take on alternatives like sugar free etc. But I dont think that is a good replacement for sugar !!!
I am using sugarfree from 2 years it is sugarless!!! and doesn't fulfill your cravings for sweet

lol is there any science to back up that extravagant claim? last time I checked every essential amino acid, mineral, vitamin and micro nutrient was available in non-meat foods. one interesting fact for you - the cows you eat for all that protein are vegetarian.

"In fact, a child raised on a raw, vegan diet without proper supplementation would likely develop severe neurological and growth problems due to a lack of vitamin B12 and other nutrients. Adults who have eaten animal products for more than 20 years, by contrast, have the benefit of relying on bodily stores of certain key nutrients."

Anything else ??

Human beings need zinc in relation to copper in a ratio of 8.1. The only food that has zinc with no copper is meat, if you eat vegetarian sources of zinc they are all very high in copper. This is going to cause big problems overtime. Ratios are more important than levels.

This is the first time I am hearing that being a vegan is not good for human health malnutrition has nothing to do with being vegan first of all if you don't get enough food whether you're a vegan or not that leads to major problems
we need to have a well balanced diet like complex carbs,proteins,Vitamins etc.After all I can show more than 20 guys in my local gym are vegans and they have the most awesome physique, Malnutrition is different from vegetarianism,If you are a vegan you need to eat veggies high in protein and dairy products for better balanced nutrition
