I want to up my food presentation game but I don't have fancy plating tools or hours to spend on garnishes. What are your best food presentation tips for making home cooking look more impressive?

I'm looking for simple techniques that don't require special equipment - things like how to arrange food on a plate, simple garnishes that make a difference, etc. What food presentation tips have you found make the biggest impact with the least effort?

I’ve been tracking my HRV for months and noticed it consistently dips the morning after I take my NMN supplement, even though my sleep scores are fine. I thought it was supposed to support cellular energy and resilience, so this correlation has me confused.

I had a similar thing a while back. I started NMN and the following weeks the morning dip showed up even though sleep stayed decent. I kept telling myself it was noise, but it kept happening.

I tried skipping NMN for a couple of weeks to test it. The numbers didn't crash, but the mornings felt steadier after I stopped stressing about it.

Caffeine timing really mattered for me too. If I had tea after lunch or coffee too late, the first reading in the morning dropped, regardless of sleep scores.

One question: do you take NMN with meals or on an empty stomach? I wonder if GI discomfort could nudge cortisol a bit and skew the early-morning measure.

I drifted away from the data for a bit and focused on what else changed—new pillow, different alarm, later bedtime. The dip happened less when I tightened that routine, but I can't pin NMN to it.

I’m not sure this is a real link. It could be a lot of little things lining up wrong in the data, and chasing a supplement might be missing the real culprit.

I started tracking wind-down time, screen minimal lighting, and a consistent bedtime. After three weeks the morning metric looked a touch more stable, but I still don’t know if NMN was helping or if I just got lucky with the routine.
