incorporating these took him from 'being tired all day' to 'feeling alive' in a recent TikTok.

"Add up only these two life habits, and your energy level will skyrocket," he told his 26,000 followers. "I'm not the type of person who tries impossible challenges, but when I first tried

this, I went from being tired all day to feeling alive.

‌ "And no, you don't need to take anything weird." You may be surprised to hear that Dr Olmos' first habit is to 'expose yourself to the cold', he noted that just a simple two-minute cold

shower might be enough to make a difference.

‌ And Dr Olmos certainly isn't alone in his views either.

inspired' and less distressed or nervous. Other research has also acknowledged potential links between cold water therapy and anti-inflammation perks.

circulation, and your immune system will activate.

"And the second one is even simpler. Stop eating dinner so late. If you have dinner three hours before going to sleep, your body goes into recovery mode, not digestion mode."

significantly affect sleep quality, which might lead to acid reflux or heartburn.

Helen Bell, a nutritionist at the UK Care Guide, previously told the Mirror: "When you lie down soon after eating, it can lead to acid reflux or heartburn due to the stomach acid travelling

back up the oesophagus.

"I would [also] say that eating before bed can contribute to weight gain. With my clients, I've observed that late-night eating often leads to the consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient

foods like snacks and desserts. These foods are more likely to be stored as fat because your metabolism slows down during sleep."

In his video, Dr Olmos continued: "[If you avoid this] you are going to sleep profoundly, you will burn fat while you sleep, and your biological clock will synchronise itself."
