Chapter 4: The story of Lihan (1)
After his morning training, Ihan thoroughly washed himself off.
He didn’t want anyone around him to complain about the smell of sweat.
Then he ate again.
Nutrition was just as important as training.
He had stew—filled with meat, vegetables, and tomato sauce, which he had slow-cooked the night before.
Stew was one of those dishes where you could absorb all the nutrients from the ingredients. Despite using cheap ingredients, slow cooking made them tender and easy to digest, while the tomato sauce and commonly available herbs like basil enhanced the flavor. It was a nutritious and tasty meal.
“Whew, that was good.”
After eating, it was time to rest.
Ihan was meticulous about rest, just as he was with his training. He took a short, 30-minute nap.
Although it wasn’t as effective as a full night’s sleep, the benefits of a short nap were undeniable.
Even a brief nap helped restore physical energy and mental clarity. After precisely 30 minutes, Ihan got up and stretched his body.
Waking up after rest, followed by stretching, then intense exercise, followed by nutrition.
