It's rarely just one thing, that's what doctors struggle with. You'll smoke, and various factors (and there are plenty...) will weaken your immune system, your genetics will play a role, your environment will play a role as well, a combination of those factors will land you cancer. Isolating...

I think it's the same for cholesterol, can you even reach the unhealthy level (300+ TC) without some severe organ disfunction ? Some people should avoid some stuff, depending on their health, but most people would massively benefit from eating more of those goddamn salted eggs.

Doctors are all : less meat, cholesterol bad, less salt. ACM studies : the more meat, cholesterol and salt the longer you live. Was discussing it with a colleague earlier today, and he an interesting comment, salt is one thing you're noticing immediately if it's lacking. Unlike magnesium...

You should be careful of not being sodium deficient, a lot of people are because we've been told all our lives that salt is bad. If your kidney is normal, you're just going to piss away fairly quickly any extra. But if you're deficient, it will lead to brain, neurological issues. Like...

To be fair keto for one year would be difficult, most people stop keto after a while because it's just too hard to maintain. And you're probably not supposed to be in ketosis for months anyway. But a couple of weeks can be useful, especialy as people that try keto usually end up eating less...

Keto diet might be worth trying for neuropathy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7781473/ Most studies looking at it show some sort of benefit. I know someone who had severe pain in her arm for 2 years (thx vax) that got rid of it with a low carb diet. Worst case is you won't have...

Do you have diabetes ?

If you're not taking them already, various studies show Omega 3 supplement do make a difference for bp.

Indeed, if anxiety is starting in the evening before going to bed, that's more unnatural than during the night when cortisone is naturaly higher. Either way, the aim is to have a cortisone level as low as possible when falling asleep. Eating earlier and avoiding sugars entirely in the evening...

Cortisone levels should be minimum when you go to bed and increase during the night. So it's not surprinsing that anxiety would be worse during the night. Might be adrenal fatigue, too much stress, caffeine not enough sleep over time causing it to dysfunction.

Sigh

A study un-surprinsingly showed that sitting 8+ hours sitting a day was as bad for cardiovascular health as smoking and was barely offset by 1 hour of workout per day. I'll try to find the study, pretty sure I heard of it in a video of Thomas DeLauer but this dude just has top much video. The...

Quick question, has Magic gone woke or can I relatively safely play with my kid, who showed interest out of nowhere?

You probably won't get result overnight.. going to the gym, eating better and generaly speaking trying to spend as little time sitting as possible should do the trick. Find whatever metric you like and try to do more every month. Kinda suck when the 'I'm young cheat code' runs out, but with...

(a) If you're black and live in Europe your vit D level won't be great. We'd need to travel back in time and see what the level was 5000 years ago among european tribes to know what the intended level is. (b) As the exhibit below show, the less time you spend in your life outside, the more...

Normal vit D level is around 70, as per studies on savage tribes. 40 is decent but most certainly suboptimal. A lot of studies show benefits above 40. When you think about it, 15 minutes of sun cannot be optimal considering how much time our ancestors spent outside. 15 minutes is enough so that...

It's not really that high, and it could make sense that as you normalize vit D, blood calcium normalize as well, as vitD is needed for calcium absorption. 1.25 mg of vit D is a serious dose, but it will take months regardless to really normalize, you might end up overshooting at that level...

I've never been convinced by full time keto, I don't think it's natural for most people, unless you're from an eskimo tribe or something. Sure low carb, like around 50-100 g a day, from actual fruits only and not refined shit. But going actual keto long term when healthy, I'm skeptical, and I...

When I want to stop coffee for a while, I just go decaffeinated for 2 weeks, then stop, the decaffeinated is enough for me to not get the headaches, and is low enough to not have it either when completely stopping.

For me eating actual food and a exercising had massive benefits, but not as much as I expected for weight loss. What really sealed the deal with intermittent fasting, that made me lose weight fairly quick. Now, when I gain a few kg, I just go 20-4 a while and it works. It's not even hard.

I've used probiotic vsl3 twice, once after a colonoscopy and once after my yearlyish food intoxication, it's surprisingly good. But certainly not something I'd used in normal situations (2/3 fermented food do the trick).

No I'm talking about intra cellular melatonin. Melanin is another mecanism through which your skin will adapt to sun exposure. Plenty of shit happening when you expose yourself properly to the sun, all year round, multiples times a day, that no pill will fully compensate. Vit D supplement is...

Or just walk or do some gardening or whatever but expose yourself to the sun more. Physical activities and the sun will both boost testosterone. That being said, it's next to impossible for most people to get enough sun exposure, a comparable amount to what pre-industrial folks had, so vitD is...

I drink mostly coffee, sometimes I'll go a few months without coffee, sometimes I'll go green tea. Pretty sure green tea is a bit better for the health, and I do find myself having more energy when drinking green tea. But I don't like tea nearly as much as coffee... Pretty much every single...

It's nice, and definitely a lot better than sitting all day long (basicaly, sitting 8+ hours a day is as bad for your health as smoking... Still, it's even better if you can manage to walk 1 hour a day outdoor in the wild, to get the various other benefit associated to it.

Well this thread is about living to 100, it seems, you aren't likely to achieve that by eating frozen pizza and trying to compensate with pills. It does take some effort though, you're right. While 100 years ago it would have been difficult to buy shitty food and to not get the proper amount of...

Taking a pill of caffeine will increase your cortisol level. Green tea is a proven adaptogen, lowering cortisol level. It's precisely what I'm talking about, by trying to pick and choose nutriments from whole food you usually end up in a bad place. Caffeine is bad, ecgc is bad. But packed in...

I meant 3,4 and 5 sorry Well even 2, it depends on what you mean by probiotic, if it's fermented food sure, a supplement, why? Supplement can be nice here and there, but taking a dozens pills daily, I doubt it's going to do anywhere near as good as adapting your food. It's quite documented that...

I would never do 2,3 and 4 daily. Either take the whole damn green tea, or don't. That's a kind of retarded 'hack' which there is no proof it's better than just green tea, which is known to be great. Trying to avoid a bit of theine and ending up taking a supplement which can be harmful..

Spice and Wolf is one of the few anime i've watched more than once. This new one doesn't seem very different from the first one, which isn't necessarily bad. The OP isn't nearly as good as the original though.

Maybe add some k2? Should help calcium going to the right place: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566462/ With a gallblader removed, it's rather easy to be déficient in k2.

I'm on board with the.people saying she isn't withholding but faking insanely high mana. After all, she wasn't a match for the Demon, she cannot be significantly more powerful than Frieren, she's even possibly weaker in combat.

Makes sense.

Like every single study showing that "meat is bad", the most likely reason that Buddhist live longer (do they? can't find for sure) is that they eat less calories (I've seen 150 to 300 less calories per day). But even then, living a bit longer isn't such a great thing if you're frail, the older...

Also I'm not sure I get the 'it's fluctuating'.

Most people don't even do 30k a week, if they did we'd have a lot less health problem. 30k a day is extreme, that's what hunter gatherers did apparently. Pre-automobile people were walking around 15k a day it seems. That being said, I wish I had a job which allowed me to walk 30k a day, but I...

Funny, that's literaly the same for me, switching calories from carbs to protein in my 40's allowed me to get over some serious health problem, and I feel like I'm 30 again. Sometimes, I'll eat just one meal a day, that meal will be sardine, beef, cheese and a few fruits... pretty sure that's...

I used to have serious trouble sleeping, like regularly putting an all nighter, most of the time taking 1-3 hours to fall asleep. Now it's a lot better, and I believe it's because I've increased how much I walk, I was barely putting 30k step a week, now I'm over 100k pretty much every week, and...

Way to kill one bird with two stones. Sell them shitty food, then tell them it's going to be fine if they take that shitty drug instead of changing their diet. Nestle Pharmaceutical : Let's fuck you digestive system and your metabolism, then sell you shitty drugs to put on bandage on the...

If you want to profit from selling food, it's best to sell sugar. The pressure from the food industry is tremendous. There is a much more massive bias toward carbohydrates.
