what's up everyone my name is Alex Goss
and if you've been following me for a
while you know that I try my best to
live a healthy lifestyle for many reason
a lot of you guys ask me about my life
styling what I do to stay healthy and
lean so I decided to put some personal
tips here on this video to help boost
your motivation and get you to look and
feel your best starting right now by the
way this video is sponsored by the
National Pork Board and we're gonna be
going over some nutrition tips and just
a little bit but first let's talk about
sleep when you're young and you don't
value sleep I know that I never did
right I thought sleeping sucked and it
was just getting in the way of my
parties my work my social life but as
you get a little bit older and more
mature you start to understand how
important sleeping really is and it's
huge
we spend a third of our lives sleeping
so the best thing that you can do to
maximize the quality of your sleep is
invest into these three things number
one a new mattress get rid of your old
crappy mattress and get something that
you love something that gets you excited
to lay down after you've had a very long
day number two get blackout blinds
alright sleep in pitch-black dark and
your life will change completely and
number three get into a consistent sleep
schedule try to go to bed every night at
a certain time and wake up at the same
time the next morning my productivity
went through the roof once I started
applying all of this into my schedule I
have more energy during the day I fall
asleep faster my body is rested and I
don't feel achy throughout the day my
back doesn't hurt you know I'm telling
you it is completely life-changing next
up make working out a priority forget
the rest of your day forget all these
little things that come up because
things always come up things that are
always in the way if you don't make
working out a priority then there's
always gonna be something else happen oh
I can't work out right now because I
have to clean these dishes or I have to
call my friends or I have to do this and
that work out first get your exercising
done before doing these other things you
know once you make working out a
priority you will always work out in
your body will finally start to change
but of course working out is only 20 to
30 percent of what we need to do to
change our bodies our diet is actually
the most important aspect of living a
healthy lifestyle as you guys know I
have a pretty strict diet but I don't
count macros or any of that I don't
obsess over it I just eat healthy food
and I stay away from unhealthy things
make sure you're getting a nice healthy
breakfast
like oats or eggs with loads of water
and maybe some fruit and as for lunch
and dinner you need to make sure that
you're getting all the protein that your
body needs pork tenderloin is considered
to be an extra lean cut of protein by
the USDA already has two point 98 grams
of fat per serving compared to three
point zero or three grams on skinless
chicken breast that's crazy
it has 22 grams of protein it's
extremely nutritious and to be honest I
didn't really know that I had to do a
lot of research this week to make this
video and you blew me away that pork is
leaner than chicken breast just cook it
to the right temperature until it's a
light blush pink color at a hundred and
forty five degrees Fahrenheit and I know
that some of you can't eat pork right
due to religious reasons and that's
obviously fine but if you can it's a
really good option where I'm from in
Brazil we eat a lot of pork alright it's
how we make some of our best and
tastiest dishes yeah I miss Brazilian
food so much I need to book another trip
to see my family and eat a lot
ASAP guys don't forget to eat a balanced
diet you don't need to count macros but
you do need to realize what is good and
what is bad eating healthy will change
your body from every angle you will feel
better you'll look better from your
muscles to you're lowering body fat
percentage to your overall health
definitely incorporate a healthy diet
into your lifestyle and add pork to your
healthy diet all right you can visit
pork org slash cooking to learn more
quick shout out to the National Pork
Board for helping me realize the healthy
benefits of eating pork and for
sponsoring today's video so now you have
a healthy diet you're sleeping well
you're working out what else can you do
to be healthy well next avoid the big
three all right smoking drinking alcohol
and of course doing drugs sounds simple
and easy but I know a lot of people who
can't stop smoking for whatever reason
and then when we go hiking they're out
of breath in ten minutes into the hype
and I know others who drink beers three
to four nights a week and they put on a
lot of weight because of that and
unfortunately I know people who have
issues with drugs you know and have a
very hard time letting go of that try
your best to stay away from these three
for a healthy lifestyle so I'm weird
alright because normally people hate
going to the doctor's office but me I
actually love honestly there's no better
feeling than going to the doctor's right
you go in there and then you leave
knowing that you are healthy that you
are good
and then you've been checked out by a
professional and if for whatever reason
there is something wrong you can
actually catch it as early as possible
to take care of it so don't be one of
those guys who are too good or too manly
to go to the doctor's that is not cool
the same way that your car needs
maintenance right your body which is a
much more complex machine needs
professionals to take good care of it
also one of my biggest goals for 2019 is
to work on mental health a lot of times
people are scared to talk about mental
health they think it's taboo or
something but I don't agree with that
because if you're not talking about it
you're not learning you're not sharing
your ideas and your thoughts so I am
100% going to make an effort to take
breaks from work to go out with friends
to see my family to talk to them as much
as possible on the phone no matter how
far they are from me right now in Brazil
at Florida it doesn't matter I want to
talk to them as much as possible if
you're working super hard on your body
don't forget about your mind because
that's also extremely important guys
