We already know that there are celebrities who are prone to the use and abuse of miracle diets and epidemic pseudotherapy, but far from the scientific evidence. In that sense, no one can beat Gwyneth Paltrow and her company Goop.

Except now, famous actresses are competing in this area. In fact, the CEO of Twitter is part of the new Silicon Valley trend, stoicism. Basically, it means not only feeling satisfied with what each person has, but above all, distanced from their feelings.
Dorsey participated in the popular podcast “Ben Greenfield Fitness: Diet, Fat Loss, Performance” a few days ago and talked about the habits that he followed both in his daily life and in his diet. Some of these habits, like meditation, commuting, and seven minutes of daily exercise, seem like healthy habits with health benefits.
5 meals a week
However, there are other habits that are not only scientifically unfounded, but can even be dangerous for the body. In particular, the CEO has shown that he only eats once a day on weekdays and completely fasts on weekends.
This means that Dorsey only eats five times a week. Typically, fish, chicken, or chops are served with salad, spinach, or Brussels sprouts. For dessert, use dark chocolate or berries. As a general rule, intermittent fasting brings many benefits to our body by reducing cardiovascular risk factors and helping to lower metabolic age.
Fasting followed by a dose of cat is called a 20/4 fast and is also known as “warrior food.” This type of disconnection we recommend that you have a less powerful design than usual.
The idea of intermittent fasting is to continue consuming the daily calories we need based on our activity, but keep in mind that it is a shorter period. However, the CEO’s dinner, he says, seems to be very light and very restricted in terms of food and nutrients.

On top of this, he then fasts for almost 48 hours over the weekend. Fasting every other day for 24 hours is common and has advantages, but fasting for more than 24 hours at a time can be dangerous and there is no evidence that it has many advantages over other fasts. Also, if you still want to try it, I recommend going to a doctor and doing it under his supervision.
Take advantage of supplements
Jack Dorsey also commented on the use of supplements. He only recommended taking a multivitamin.
In reality, a truly healthy diet should provide us with all the vitamins and nutrients our bodies need without having to rely on supplements. In fact, some studies have shown that the use of some of these supplements can have adverse effects. Most of the time they are safe, but the ideal is to get the vitamins through the diet.
ice bath
Another habit of the famous CEO is to start the day in an ice bath as soon as he gets out of bed. Some studies have shown that it is a technique that has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in athletes.

However, the scientific evidence does not show that this activity offers a different advantage than that offered by other active recovery techniques, such as the topical application of ice. It is also not recommended for people with respiratory, cardiovascular hypothyroidism.
If we decide to try an icy bath, or a very cold shower, the main thing is not to act like Jack, but to go from the warmth of the bed to the cold of the ice. Exposure to this cold should be short-lived so as not to put you at risk, and it is recommended to manage it medically if possible.
In addition to these habits, Dorsey has been shown to follow other routines, such as tracking her sleep and taking notes about her day on her phone. Low risk activities.
