Incoming summer intern and was just wondering how analysts try to stay healthy from diets/exercising, what are u doing? I know hours are super rough and sleep is minimal, but are there specific things u do to stay healthy?

What vitamins do you take?
D3/K2, magnesium, iron, creatine, b-complex are all very safe basic options that many people can benefit from. There are other nootropics or energy supps people experiment with but that's something hard to generalize about
Morning: vitamin d3, vitakin k2, omega 3 fish oils
night: magnesium bisglycinate
+ electrolytes on days that I exercise
Party as little as possible so you don't get sick. Avoid cigarettes/drugs as much as possible, try to maintain decent diet, a ton of water, sleep as much as possible, go outside whenever you can.
During my analyst years I was on a strict Chipotle diet. Had 2 Celsiuses a day. Blacked out nearly every Friday night. Absolutely LOVED cocaine. Went to raves as much as possible. Never used protection. Spent $315 a month on Equinox and probably went twice a month. Somehow I'm still alive. Never weighed more than 165 and I'm 5'10.
After I got promoted I got a bit more control of my free time so I chilled out with the drinking and crappy food. I workout minimum 3 days a week and prioritize sleep.
Honestly though, I don't feel that different. Go have fun.
lol this is pretty much the same for me except worked out even less, tried my best to avoid carbs as much i could mon-thurs day which was the extent of my health consciousness. coffee and zyn baby.
Some people are just blessed with good metabolisms
Yes, it's difficult, but you can succeed. I basically make an effort to keep things simple by cooking some simple meals on the weekends, working out for as little as 30 minutes when I can, and going for longer walks during the day. Even though I don't always get enough sleep, I make an effort to get a few quality hours. To be honest, even little actions taken on a regular basis have a significant impact.

Yes I'm a lab rat and I'm going to trust studies from one lab in Croatia on BPC and inject myself with mystery goo that somehow cures cancer, instantly heals any ligament injuries, and activates 200% of my brain function
