......
Go'mon stormed through the castle corridors. He'd sensed something slip beside him during his encounter with the vampire lord. It wasn't just that damned top hat with the thief's prints. No, it was more subtle than that, it was the sound of a gossamer chain rattling against cloth. He scanned every square inch of the hallways as he walked, slowly twirling the Warhammer in his off-hand as he calmly held the pistol muzzle-up towards the ceiling. He'd barely gotten a glimpse of what almost looked like mist as he stomped through the grand halls with paranoia-fueled, seething anger. Abruptly turning a corner he fired the revolver at what he thought was that pesky invisible parasite.
The shimmer shuddered and he switched to the visible spectrum to find out it was just a tapestry in front of a heating vent.
Go'mon let out an enraged scream, tearing the tapestry apart with his bare hands after casting his weapons aside in a fit of rage and impotence. The visage of Monarch D'vinn looking out from the top of a bombed-out hill in battered armor at the shattered remains of the once human-occupied city, being shredded like single-ply latrine paper by go'mon's molecularly edged cybernetic claws. Having spent his rage on the tapestry, he panted dramatically as his heart pounded in its cask. Turning around he let out another furious scream, howling madly as he scanned the hall with thermals. His Hammer and revolver had disappeared without a trace.
The sudden blare of a Klaxon made him pause as he adjusted his armor, forcing himself to calm down as he examined his molecularly edged claws. The main enemy was at the gates, he should go meet them.
...
Cassius' Heart pounded as he took shallow breaths, Go'mon's backplate inches from his own chest as he held onto the Hammer and Pistol for dear life. As the general strutted outside, Cassius moved in perfect synchronization, his left leg rising with the general's before being placed down in sync. He'd been practicing for weeks with the security droids at the mansion, practicing to keep inches from their backs without touching their metal carapace. Now he strutted behind perhaps the second most powerful being he knew like a silent specter. As Go'mon slammed through a door, breaking it into splinters, Cassius lifted his right leg and rotated out of the way just as Go'mon's tail would've brushed against his Calf, giving him away. As the General strutted out into the middle of the courtyard, Cassius used the various straps attached to his gambeson to affix the weapons to his waist before grabbing his Kama and weighted chain from a small pouch at his belt.
Cassius tossed the weighted end of the chain over the wall of the castle after a short run-up, wrapping the gossamer chain around his hands with each rapid step he took up the wall. Reaching the top, he unhooked the weight from the small bar he'd tossed it around quickly disentangling his hands from the chain. He groped the air on the outside of the wall until he touched the enchanted ladder the Top-Hats had left him. Sliding down the ladder, he spotted Drake sitting astride Barney in the middle of the street. The rest were nowhere to be seen but that indeed was part of the plan. Sprinting over, Cassius leaped onto Barney behind Drake and slipped Go'mon's revolver into the empty holster at his belt. Drawing out no reaction save for a few words from Drake, who didn't turn his head lest he give the gambit away.
"Good work Cassius, Fall back and get a gas mask on. We still don't know what's in those canisters because they inked out the labels."
Cassius slipped off of Barney's back and slipped into a nearby building before De-cloaking as he pressed himself against the wall next to a Warmonger who passed him a spare gas mask. He pulled it on and checked the seal before sitting against the wall as his legs jellied beneath him. His mouth was dryer than the scrubland as he accepted a Volunteer's canteen, drinking heavily through a port in the mask as he rode out the adrenaline crash. He glanced over to where their fighters had pried open a sewer access hatch and were dropping in, the smell of sewage souring the air. A few warmongers closest to the opening had comically attached wooden clothesline clips to their noses.
...
Caz lay atop the second-tallest building in Golgatha, trash and debris piled up around her for camouflage ash she drew a bead on the strutting Go'mon. Her god-given eyes were able to see the purple miasma that rose from him like mercury vapors. She didn't even turn her head as she softly asked.
"Distance?"
The man with Heavy cybernetic augmentations pulled casually from a large pouch of grain alcohol, camera-lense eyes extending from his face as he chewed on a bullet thoughtfully. Slowly he stated.
"One thousand five hundred and sixty-seven meters, If you're keeping it under auto-ignition velocity, you should be able to hold it one mil above and..."
The sound of the bullet in his mouth getting chewed filled the air before he stated.
"Two mils right, wind fluctuates between us and the target, expect a half minute of angle deviation."
Caz adjusted her optic, bringing the point of aim directly onto her crosshairs. The man next to her had called himself "an Olympian" an old sect of bionically enhanced warriors from even before the betrayal wars. In the small amount of time she'd gotten to know the man, she'd found him palatable at the very least, soft-spoken with a touch of crazy, it was refreshing. She tried to ignore the artillery-sized rifle he laid behind, the barrel itself bigger around than a drainage pipe, a suppressor of equally massive size almost protruding over the edge of the building. She watched from the corner of his eye as he pulled the breech open to the side and selected a shell thicker and longer than her forearm with a fused tip. He rammed it into the gun with the same ease she loaded her flechettes with.
They both had different jobs despite sitting on the same roof. She'd take care of anything on two legs, and he'd handle anything that had an armored skin. From her vantage point, she watched as the Agri-bots moved into position, planting their artillery pieces against the ground in preparation to fire. They weren't using High explosives much to Remin and Destrier's chagrin, but with their attack plan, they couldn't risk collapsing the sewers. They were instead armed with a chemical weapon known as "CS Smoke" which would obscure visual sightlines for anyone with unaugmented vision. Lucky for her and the Olympian, that wouldn't be an issue with her clear-sight and his advanced optics. She slowly swiveled her focus onto Drake, keeping the center of the crosshair off him as she watched him.
Sitting astride Barney, Drake looked every bit the warrior he was. His dark helmet and armor were almost lost in the dark night. But the red shock of his Helm's mohawk could not be mistaken, glowing brightly against the darkness. As his palm came to rest on the pommel of his sword, she saw something entirely different for a moment.
A warrior in battered, rusty armor, the flesh falling from his bones as a pair of white lights gleamed behind the helmet. A skeletal hand held a rusty sword in its sheath, Its pale, emaciated steed's head hanging low, milky eyes soulless and empty.
But as soon as she saw it, the image faded and she swiveled her crosshairs onto the castle's inner courtyard. A small, dim red light blinked on the side of the Olympian's skull as the Geknosians organized into fighting lines. Hulking Geknosians in overbuilt power armor manned emplaced turrets and the looming Gas generators. A small feed from the Olympian's perspective overlaid itself on her scope before minimizing to one corner. She watched as his crosshair fell onto one of the two Gallicks. The horseshoe-shaped APCs presenting their bulk to the gate as a bulwark. Caz switched her aim to a heavily armored Geknosian, slowly dialing the small wheel on the forend of her rifle to half-power, just under auto-ignition velocity. The geknosian seemed to get uncomfortable as her crosshairs landed on his chest, fidgeting at the controls of their AA plasma Beam-cannon.
The moment the Agri-bots fired their artillery, she'd remove him from the gene pool and take that AA gun out of the fight so Destrier could get into position.
...
Destrier and Remin ran last-minute checks on the small fleet of two-wheeled land vehicles the Top Hats had called "Dirt bikes." The variable electric powerplant produced little to no noise, even now, powered on and ready to roll they didn't even humm. Stepping back, Destrier let the forearms of his power armor clamshell close as he retook the hand controls. Contrary to popular belief, the hands of power armor weren't at all like gloves. A handle with a pressure sensor for each finger was clasped in his hands, allowing him to manipulate the hands of the armor like his own. Destrier turned his head, helmet whirring on its bearing as he watched Remin mount one of the Dirtbikes, the black scimitar strapped to the suspension of the bike within arm's reach. The old man's Mongolian lamellar draped over either side of the bike like fabric, small metal plates clinking and clattering softly as he pulled his fabric-wrapped helmet back on. Destrier clomped over, hardly noticing the backpack with over two hundred rounds of 13x110 mm HEP.
Remin looked up with a grin and met Destrier's arm halfway in a forearm-gripping handshake, their metal hands clanking together as they slid their arms back into a grip around the base of each other's thumbs, then to a normal handshake before waggling their fingers at each other.
Destrier chuckled softly and looked up at the sky, night vision lenses making it appear stuffed to bursting with stars.
"What's on the black samurai's mind?"
Remin asked softly, head tilted back to also look at the stars between the rooftops.
"Well... I'm looking forward to the fighting to finally being over... Maybe I'll finally be able to settle down and invent something with Martha..."
Remin chuckled softly.
"A noble goal... I'd expect nothing less from you Destri... I'm actually hoping to catch a ride back to human-controlled space. I'm too old for this shit, I want to settle down and live out the last years of my life in peace..."
Destrier nodded in agreement, slowly turning his gaze back to the helicopter, blades slowly turning in preparation for takeoff.
"How old are you Remin? I don't think I ever asked."
The old man paused, thinking for a long time.
"Oh... I'd say I've made it past a century at this point. Got a cybernetic heart when I was a kid thanks to a car accident, Ol' things been keeping me going far past when I shoulda dropped."
Destrier nods and laughs softly.
"Damn, and I thought you were only in your fifties."
Remin laughed in agreeance, setting his hands on the handlebars.
"I don't blame ya, I feel like it. Especially now that my legs aren't filled with creaky arthritis."
Destrier sighed softly, gently punching the old man's shoulder as softly as he could in his power armor.
"See you on the other side old man... whether that be the living side or the dead one."
"Here's to hoping it's the former not the latter."
Destrier chuckled his agreement and boarded the helicopter, making the landing gear compress slightly as he put his weight on the flight deck. Unhooking the feed chain from the side of the backpack, he clipped it into the Ma-deuce's feed chute. It whirred as the heavy cartridges were funneled down the chain and into the gun with a click and a clatter.
...
Barney shifted from one leg to the other beneath Drake, Death's chosen reaching down and gently patting his neck fondly as he softly whispered.
"Just a moment longer boy... There's someone I need to talk to."
Drake closed his eyes, letting the Darkness envelop him for a moment before opening them again.
He looked at Death, who was casually swirling a glass of black bourbon thoughtfully.
"You said you wanted to talk to me right before the battle?"
Death nodded and slid the glass of black bourbon his way.
"I did, I want you to drink this before you go into battle."
Drake picked up the glass, inspecting the pitch-black, inky liquid curiously. Before sniffing it and coughing as his eyes water.
"No offense, But I think something died in your liquor bottle."
Death laughed jovially, pouring his own glass from a red crystal decanter.
"That's because this is made from the blood of my predecessor. I thought i might as well get it out of the way."
Drake suspiciously looked at the glass.
"Okay, what happens when I drink it?"
Death paused, slowly swirling his own glass of black bourbon pensively. Then, he slowly knocked his own back, eyes dilating wide before returning to normal.
"Well, It should allow you to control your power, bypassing the decades of training most need."
Drake gave Death a side eye, sniffing the foul drink one more time asking.
"What's the catch?"
Death frowned, then set his glass down.
"Considering that it's going to completely restructure your magical and circulatory pathways. It's going to hurt like nothing you've ever felt before. It also may or may not bind your guardians to your soul."
Drake's head snapped up.
"Guardians... you mean my parents?"
Death nodded softly.
"Guardians, souls that loved someone so much that they remained on after death to watch over them. Your parents loved you... loved you enough to stand by your side even in death... and before you give me some bullshit about this not being what your parents would want... Remember, they'll always be at your side until you die one way or another."
Drake slowly swirled the bourbon before nodding softly, bringing it to his lips, he downed it in a single gulp. It burned on its way down, the tingling feeling intensely spreading throughout his body and to his fingertips in a moment. His nerves burned, and his very being felt as though it was being scalded by burning hot water. But as he set the glass down on Death's desk, he smiled softly. There was a warmth to the pain, like a cold rag against a feverish forehead. The sting of a garlic poultice applied to a fresh whip-wound. It was the crack of his father's wooden sword against his knuckles during their sparring, the sweat that would drip into his eyes on long evenings working the fields. Drake opened his eyes slowly, no longer sitting in Death's office, but his own soulscape, looking at the long-neglected buildings halfway through construction. But he wasn't alone.
Drake smiled at his mother and father. His mother gave him a soft smile as she touched the scar across his face, the wound in his cheek where a gauss slug had torn it open, then, she took his hand to gently touch the scarred wound where Garravan's knife had pierced his hand. His father just sat cross-legged, drinking a stout mug of scrub tree tea with a proud smile on his face. drake looked between them before holding out his hands.
As his parents took them, they dissolved into motes of light that drifted into his chest. His veins burned, and his eyes and nose bled. His entire existence felt like a blistering inferno as the ground of his soulscape rumbled, small, red flowers the color of blood and the shape of gunshot wounds popping up from the ground. But even as the pain grew, and grew, and grew, He found himself simply laughing, grabbing what felt like an invisible pair of chains and pulling up on them as he stood.
The ground erupted in the middle of his soulscape, a massive, gnarled oak tree sprouting from the ground. Its sturdy trunk protecting a small patch of pink carnations interspersed with curly-petaled white Gardenias. Drake felt something form atop his head and reached up, feeling a thorny crown, he gently pulled it off, looking at the black-petaled roses fondly before returning it to his head. The thorny veins grew down from the crown, snaking their way deep into his flesh only to bloom into what felt like new muscles and tendons that weren't attached to his physical strength. Looking at his upturned palms, he curled his fingers, a steady, smokeless pale flame popping into existence in his palm with next to no effort.
As the pain subsided, Drake closed his eyes, relishing its departure before opening them to the shocked and concerned face of Death. Drake gave him a curious look and Death coughed softly as he composed himself before speaking.
"Look, I know I can hide pain well... But that smile you get when you're hurting is capital C Creepy."
Drake touched his grinning face with a soft laugh, wiping a trickle of blood from his nose.
"Well, guess I can add that to my achievements list, Creeping Death out with a smile."
They both chuckled softly at the joke before Death sighed softly.
"You should get back to them, they're almost ready."
Drake nodded and stood, stepping over to the door.
"Wish me luck."
"Good luck, my Champion. Give them hell."
Drake smiled softly and stepped out the door. When he opened his eyes, he was back in the real world, staring up at Go'mon who'd perched himself atop the castle wall, eyeing Drake hungrily.
Giving Go'mon his signature grin, He reached up and depressed a countersunk button on the side of his helmet.
"Hit 'em"
Drake stated, the sound of artillery rocking the city as Go'mon's hungry look quickly turned to rage. There was a loud, screeching whistle as the artillery shells streaked in, blanketing the area in stinging fog. Drake drew his sword, extending thorned vines of power into it as the blade ignited with pale flames. Barney snuffled excitedly and roared as Drake nudged him forward, the Dinosaur leaping over the wall in a single bound. The final battle for Golgatha had begun, after this, they would either be free...
Or they will have died free.

2024.06.09 12:16 LeoLittlebook6 The Aquatic Ape Diet: cheap, low-calorie longevity

tl;dr

Japanese women live the longest; traditional "ama" divers catch crustaceans by hand.
This inspired my chicken soup of the sea: rice, shrimp and mackerel.
Can you guess which causes the longevity?
PIC: How to tell when a shrimp is perfectly cooked
https://preview.redd.it/ioy13ankti5d1.jpg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6561f8cd0dfa03e90f4fe35fa229651f459359e

Summary

Ama (海女, "sea women") are Japanese divers famous for collecting pearls, though traditionally their main catch is seafood.[1] The vast majority of ama are women.

An optimal diet should imitate the diet of the world's longest-lived people: Japanese women. What sets Japan apart from runners-up such as South Korea is high shrimp consumption.
Longevity is sexy:

I cut the seafood-rice diet down to the absolute minimum:

An elimination diet, also known as exclusion diet, is a diagnostic procedure used to identify foods that an individual cannot consume without adverse effects.

An optimal elimination diet follows the pattern of recovering from an upset stomach:

For fluid, drink hot water with a pinch of sea salt "tea".
For fuel, start with white rice congee. After #6 add brown rice, pre-soaked.
For fresh, have 50g frozen sea meat (shrimp) per day. The rest can be canned.
For fat, have a can of ocean fish (mackerel etc) per day. Watch the mercury.
For fruit, have a small orange with the plain rice (vit c).
For veg, lightly cook some spinach leaves with the shrimp (vit b).
For snack, have dried seaweed sheets and a handful of mixed tree nuts soaked overnight.

Take it one step at a time. These are sequenced in order of short-term priority to stay productive. Everything is low-FODMAPS except the nuts.
1-4 are like a healthier version of chicken soup: Both are high in methionine, salt and rice.
Methionine stops hunger. Eating less extends lifespan dramatically:

The exact manner by which calories are reduced changes across studies, but the animals’ calorie intakes are generally reduced by as much as half their normal levels. Depending on the species, the most promising results have shown lifespan extensions between 50 and 300%.

This diet can probably cut your calorie intake in half without trying, and your food budget as well.
A strong baseline makes it easy to detect harmful foods. You can thrive on just this, but why limit yourself? Establish a performance baseline, then introduce a new ingredient.

Intro

When I was a young man, I regarded cooking as a chore and simply wanted to eat healthy to gain muscle without wasting time. As a result, I ate a lot of Campbell's Chunky Soup and crackers. Not great for my sodium intake.
I sympathize with those who insist that a "minimum viable diet" should mean something simple and repeatable such as beef, potatoes and greens. Sounds great! If you're looking for lazy cooking, just learn some simple pressure cooker recipes. It does get more complicated than "throw tasty things in pot".
I might've continued as a culinary barbarian, had I not made some bad life choices, chief among which was taking a light course of Accutane, which is proven to cause Inflammatory Bowel Disease by aging epithelial stem cells. This caused my gut lining to gradually age, until I must now eat mush like an old man.
The struggle to find foods that didn't incapacitate me lead me to elimination diets and a journey into true minimalism, the meaning of which I hadn't appreciated before: not minimum cooking effort, but minimum digestive difficulty.
My eventual solution happened to align with the diet of the longest-lived people in the world – the Japanese. (Well, the women are longest-lived. The men work and drink themselves to death.) Apparently, the secret to their longevity is eating a lot of shrimp and rice. White rice is considered hypoallergenic, and shrimp induces satiety via methionine, permitting calorie restriction.
Doctors have been unable to label my condition with any specific diagnosis, despite extensive tests and endoscopy. So I believe my solution is generalizable to those without specific problems, who nonetheless find themselves plagued with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
The less energy the gut must spend on digestion, the more energy the brain has to focus productively. Ancestral hunter gatherers could afford to lie around after a big meal; office workers not so much.
Even healthy people may be interested in the productivity benefits of easy digestion. Soylent is popular for this reason. The aquatic ape diet is healthier, easier to digest, and much cheaper.
Soylent costs about $225 per month. In a typical day I eat:

for fuel, 4 handfuls of unenriched rice = 43g * 4 = 173g = 621 calories = .50 USD
for fresh, a handful of frozen organic shrimp = 52g = 52 calories = 7.70 RMB = 1.06 USD
for fat, 200g canned mackerel (or similar) = 312 calories = 6.5 RMB = .9 USD
for fruit, small oranges sell for about a dollar each, so $2 for two = 90 calories
for veg, spinach costs $2 and lasts 10 days, so .20 USD = 14 calories
total calories = 1089
$total = 4.66 USD daily * 30.4 days = $142 per month

As you can see, the AA baseline diet is slightly more expensive per calorie, but higher satiety so one eats less. If cost is a concern, you can easily cut to one small orange per day, dropping the price to $111 per month. Or replace oranges entirely with a vitamin c pill, which costs under 10 cents per dose. Then the cost would be $84 per month.
Most people don't want to eat minimally, and that's fine. However, those who hate cooking can keep the minimal ingredients at home, then indulge at restaurants. Or travel with Soylent and never miss a meal.

7 steps

Omnivore

Humans are omnivores. Thus a proper minimal diet will consume both plants and animals. Among mammals, even herbivores are usually opportunistic carnivores. Compensating for pure vegetarianism or carnivory complicates things considerably, as icebound Eskimos and smooth-brained koala vegans demonstrate.
Given omnivory, a minimal diet has three major requirements:

Fuel: either eat enough carbs and fat, or burn your own fat.
Fresh: for volatile water-soluble vitamins and animal protein.
Fat: for fat-soluble vitamins and well-being.

These are listed in order of priority.
One can get water-soluble vitamins from lightly-cooked meat, if one eats the right animals or organs in sufficient quantities. However, it is usually easier to get them from fruits and vegetables.

1 Fluid

The Romans paid legionnaires in sea salt, leading to the expression, "Worth his salt". Without sea salt, humans develop goiters.
During a severe IBS episode, you often stop eating. That is fine, humans can fast for weeks. Just drink sea salt "tea" until your gut calms.
This staves off dehydration, but gets quite hungry. When ready to rise and cook, proceed to the next step. Until then, have a toothpick and relax. (Chewing on something is a good way to stop eating.)

2 Fuel

The first step of recovery is to have some bland white rice congee. It is usually the easiest thing to digest. (If not, try soaking or pick another grain.) Starch fuel prevents starvation, conserving body fat on skinny chronic IBS sufferers. You need enough calories to stay active.
Put a 1-2 handfuls of rice and generous water into the pressure cooker, then cook until congee.
Plain white rice does get boring. So alternate white with brown rice. Brown rice has insoluble fiber, which is hardest to digest. So start with just a pinch of brown rice in white, which will change the flavor of the pot enough to fool your brain. If you can tolerate insoluble fiber, then increase the ratio. Gas is a key sign you can't.
If you're constipated, increase the ratio of brown rice. Fiber keeps you regular.

3 Fresh

The next step is to consume healthy fresh meat. The healthiest sea meat is shrimp. Just a handful will induce satiety via methionine. Briefly auto-warm them in the pressure cooker until they curl into a c-shape, not o. (This is safe, because saltwater shrimp parasites can't transfer to freshwater hosts.) Eat the shrimp before cooling, and save the broth for the next rice pot.
Wild meat is healthier than farmed, and saltwater is healthier than terrestrial. Humans are primarily a littoral species, even today. Our hairlessness is an aquatic adaptation (hippos, elephants); chimps can't swim. Our other closest relative, the pig, is semi-aquatic like us, and shares many anatomical features such as nose shape and eye color. Pigs, not chimps, are the main animal source for organ transplants into humans.

4 Fat

Fat is the second hardest to digest, but the most rewarding. It's what puts a smile on your face and heat in your extremities. Fat soluble vitamins degrade slowly, so canned food is fine. Mackerel is incredibly cheap and delicious. At 13% fat, it is sufficient but not overwhelming to weak guts. The bones are easy to eat around. Save the broth for the next rice pot.
Watch the toxin accumulation. Maximum is 200g mackerel per day, due to arsenic. Try alternating with other fish, such as tuna, sardines and salmon.
If you have fat malabsorption, try putting cholestyramine powder in the rice pot preceding the fatty meal, and look into UDCA. Eating fat is essential to enjoy life. Hence the expression, "Fat and happy."

5 Fruit

Fruit poses two digestive challenges: fructose and insoluble fiber. We can dilute the former and minimize the latter.
Apples have lots of insoluble fiber, making them chewy. Oranges have little, making them juicy.
Fruit is full of concentrated sugar, and the fructose in particular can irritate weak guts. Sugar provides short term energy. Thus an orange complements a pot of white rice congee.
By itself, the congee is bland starch, which provides long-term energy and filling comfort. Eat the orange as appetizer, then the congee as main course. Having this twice per day is a treat.

6 Veg

Vegetables contain even more insoluble fiber than fruit. One solution is to cook them to mush, but this destroys their b-vitamins, the main reason to eat them.
The solution is to use a soft vegetable that can be eaten raw and is high in vitamin b. Parsley and spinach both work, and go nicely with shrimp. Just throw them both into the pot on auto-warm at the same time.

7 Snack

With diets, cheating is always a danger, so one should try to fulfill cravings with healthy snacks. Dried seaweed have the salt, crunch and complex flavor to satisfy the potato chip craving. A handful of mixed tree nuts soaked overnight satisfies the desire for something more substantial, and puts the pot to good use.

Beyond AAD

Congratulations, you've completed the Aquatic Ape diet! Now you can add whatever works for you.
Having a strong baseline means it's easy to tell when something makes you feel worse. Similarly, being malnourished makes it easy to tell when you eat something that was previously missing. Malnourishment is not a pleasant baseline, so I recommend the former!
I'm sure you're eager to get to the steak and potatoes. The Weston Price Foundation has many great recipes for healthy indulgence.

Regimen

Morning

handful of unenriched white rice, pressure cooked to congee, eaten before cooling to avoid resistant starch. Small orange appetizer first.
clean pot and dish
200g of wild-caught organic canned fish (no additives)
in leftover broth, pressure cook longer a handful of white rice with pinch of organic tricolor brown rice (to fool blandness perception)
clean pot and dish

Between meals:

chew on a toothpick to distract from hunger
pinch of sea salt in hot water

Afternoon

handful of unenriched white rice, pressure cooked to congee, eaten before cooling to avoid resistant starch. Small orange appetizer first.
clean pot and dish
handful of spinach and handful of wild-caught saltwater shelled shrimp (no additives) auto-heated to c-shape, not o-shape (that's overdone)
in leftover broth, pressure cook longer a handful of white rice with pinch of organic tricolor brown rice (to fool blandness perception)
clean pot and dish

The shrimp induces satiety for intermittent fasting.

Travel

Travel is tough. Suggestions welcome. Here's what I've got:

bring toothpicks and sea salt
buy hot white rice and water
dry foods: pemmican, jerky or Soylent
wet meat: canned fish, steamed shrimp
vit b & c: spinach, lemon juice, small oranges

2024.06.09 11:11 Lower-Ad-9556 Anyone familiar with Banfield?

I’m shaken up so please excuse my erratic texting. I live with my brother and his wife. We have three dogs, our elder dog (8year old husky Male) got bit by our new one(1 year old husky Male) and it was bad, I’m talking exposed muscle. My brother is out of town and my sister-in-law (who is the dogs owner) works all day. I called banfield as I know they have insurance with them and they directed me to an ER near our house.
I went and was told the bill would be 2k. My sister-in-law on call told me absolutely not and asked if this was something that can wait for an appointment. The vet heavily advised against it. She booked it for him anyways but in the app they can only label it as “general injury”. I told the doctor that she booked an appointment.
The vet told me if he doesn’t at least get it cleaned and get antibiotics it could be bad. I paid the 600 for cleaning and medicine. He didn’t even charge me for staples so it would at least be kept from debris. He told me our dog needs to be seen tomorrow as the staples weren’t enough for him he needs to be put under and worked on.
I heard banfield is not only terrible but doesn’t do injuries of this caliber. Is that true? I’m absolutely devastated and he’s not even ‘my’ dog. I want to know if I’m walking in to be turned back or not.

2024.06.09 06:12 kbulloko Clothing Size Stupidity

Our little family had an excursion today to get our girlie some new summer clothes. She's grown about 2 inches recently and so her clothes needed an update. I have found this same problem at many stores, but these was the most dramatic difference I've seen.
Kohl's kid's sizes. Girls t-shirts. The same happens in all their clothes sizings, but this was one of the things we were looking at. She's typically a size 12 in shirts (tall torso, lots of muscle) and that's usually labeled as a L. At this store, you'll find that's on the line of grouping (10-12 or 12-14). One shirt fit fine except was slightly too short, so we went up a size. So, size 12-14. For Kohl's, that's an XL in girls. In the boys shirt, same brand and style (different graphic), that's a S (10-12) and it was even slightly big.
This has been a problem since toddler sizes. It starts so young and it breaks my heart while also making me mad. The clothing industry contributes so heavily to body image issues, particularly in female clothing. We know they do, but this?! These are young children and that difference is INSANE!
Speaking of, we have started to make sure that we don't mention what the size name or number is to our daughter. We have also started watching our wording in regards to outgrowing clothes. I've learned this from some professionals in child development and family studies. Instead of "You're too big for that now." or "That's too small for you." or "That's too tight for you.", we say, "Is that comfortable?", "How does that feel on your body?", "Does that feel like it fits your body well?", even, "You've gotten taller! Looks like we need to go shopping." Nothing is wrong when your body, the problem is the clothes.
This is not the wording I'm used to hearing or saying to myself. It is a conscious effort to remember to say it this way. However, since we started, her view of her body and how she talks about it is changing. She is showing off her muscles (flexing, "Look how strong I am!"), dancing more, walking more confidently, mentioning what her body can do, etc.
My daughter isn't dumb. She can see what the clothing size says. She has asked us before, "Am I fat?". We had never said that, of course, but she was looking at the different sizes of clothes and how so many clothes are made for smaller body frames. Those that are made for the average body frame, are labeled as "husky" or "plus", while the others aren't even labeled as "normal" fit, but as "thin". These messages are damaging, no matter the age of the person or their clothing size. Adult and child clothing sizes have this damaging messaging. Can we please change that?
I'm thinking of starting a petition. Gonna do my research. European sizing (cm) or even the common US men's sizing of inches would be so much better! There are many benefits to this ideal change, however my focus is on mental health.
I found a small petition started a while ago, please sign it!
Thank you for reading my rant.

The moment I started taking it, I noticed an increase in my overall energy levels. This potent liquid extract is not only incredibly concentrated but also packed with natural ingredients that are gentle on the body.
One aspect of this product that stood out to me was its strong smell. While some may not find it pleasant, I personally didn't mind it - in fact, I actually grew to quite enjoy it! Plus, knowing that my husband is pleased with the effects of this supplement brings me even more satisfaction.
On the downside, this extract does have an expiration date, which means you'll have to keep track of when to replace it. However, given the powerful benefits it provides, I believe the effort is worth it.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a high-quality fenugreek supplement to enhance your well-being, look no further than HawaiiPharm's liquid extract. Its potent formula and natural ingredients make it a standout choice among similar products on the market.

🔗Natures Way Fenugreek Capsules

https://preview.redd.it/mnpq0madng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16129374cd7de37c725dfb130a99bb5971509e55
Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed is a high-quality herbal supplement that offers numerous health benefits. I recently tried these vegetarian capsules, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the results.
Each capsule contains a potent dose of 610 mg of pure fenugreek seed extract, without any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. As a vegan, I appreciate that this supplement aligns with my dietary preferences, making it easy to incorporate into my daily routine.
One of the main reasons I decided to use fenugreek seed is its potential to aid digestion. I occasionally suffer from bloating and indigestion, and I was curious to see if this herbal remedy could provide relief. After taking the capsules consistently for a few weeks, I experienced a noticeable improvement in my digestive health. Bloating and discomfort reduced, and I felt less sluggish after meals.
Fenugreek has also been traditionally used to support lactation in nursing mothers. Although I am not a nursing mother, it's worth noting this potential benefit for those who may find it relevant.
Another positive aspect of this product is the brand's commitment to quality. Nature's Way is a reputable name in the supplement industry, and their fenugreek seed capsules are no exception. The packaging is sturdy, and the capsules themselves are easy to swallow with no aftertaste.
The 180-capsule supply per bottle offers good value for money and saves frequent reordering. I appreciate that the recommended dosage is clear and concise, with one capsule to be taken two to three times daily with food. The flexibility in dosing allows me to adjust it according to my needs.
However, it's important to be patient with herbal supplements like fenugreek. Individual results may vary, and it may take some time before experiencing noticeable effects, especially for specific health concerns.
One minor drawback I encountered is the earthy taste of fenugreek, which can be quite strong for some individuals. While the capsules eliminate direct contact with the seed's taste, it's still worth considering for those sensitive to potent herbal flavors.
In conclusion, Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed capsules have proven to be an effective and natural solution for supporting digestion and overall wellness. With its vegan-friendly formulation and reputable brand, it offers a reliable option for individuals seeking natural remedies to address digestive concerns. While it may take time to notice results, the potential benefits make it a worthy addition to any natural health regimen.

🔗Potent Fenugreek Capsules for Nursing Mothers

https://preview.redd.it/rygowerdng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26bbe1e9652d83e77d2e15583a5a90c9480bdf78
I've been using Carlyle's Fenugreek Capsules for a few weeks now, and I can definitely see why it's popular among nursing moms. These quick-release capsules pack a powerful punch, delivering the equivalent of 3000 mg of Fenugreek Seed in every serving. The non-GMO and gluten-free formulation has been easy on my tummy, and I love that it's free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. Carlyle really knows their stuff when it comes to sourcing pure ingredients, and their commitment to transparency is evident in every product. I've definitely noticed a boost in energy since incorporating these capsules into my daily routine.
However, not everyone has had the same positive experience. While some users have seen great results and fast shipping, others have been disappointed with the product's efficacy. It's important to remember that everyone's body reacts differently to supplements, so what works for one person may not work for another. Overall, I think Carlyle's Fenugreek Capsules are a solid choice for those looking to incorporate this traditional herb into their wellness routine, but it may not be the perfect fit for everyone.

🔗Full Spectrum Cayenne & Fenugreek Supplement

https://preview.redd.it/aflf909eng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d64cf3d81eb20222ac345424a17f904ee056c21
As a user of Swanson's Capsule, I was very satisfied with the results. I started using it because it contains two potent herbs - Cayenne and Fenugreek. Cayenne is popular due to its spiciness, but it offers much more than just a spicy sensation. It's a powerful tool for circulatory health support and boosts blood flow to all the primary organs. Fenugreek, on the other hand, features steroidal saponins that promote healthy fat and carbohydrate metabolism, while maintaining a healthy lipid balance in the blood.
I used one veggie capsule twice a day with food and water, following the recommended dosage. I found it incredibly effective. The capsule is easy to swallow and there's no smell from either cayenne or fenugreek. The product is entirely vegan, making it suitable for a wide variety of people and dietary restrictions.
There were no major cons that I encountered while using this product. However, I would advise not taking this on its own as it can be quite potent, due to the strong presence of cayenne.
The product reviews were incredibly positive as well. The users reported various benefits such as reduced food cravings, improved blood circulation, and even weight loss. The potency of the cayenne seems to be quite intense for some users, but overall, the vast majority rated it highly.
In conclusion, Swanson's Capsule is an excellent addition to anyone considering adding a natural boost to their circulatory health. Its combination of Cayenne and Fenugreek offers potent benefits, and given its vegan nature, it's accessible to a wide range of people.

🔗Support Healthy Glucose Metabolism with Herb Pharm Mature Seed Fenugreek Liquid Extract

https://preview.redd.it/v1af05peng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3a87149a3f3e4de5fdea477a7891bf22be7edc3
I recently tried Herb Pharm's Mature Seed Fenugreek liquid extract, and I must say, I'm quite impressed with its potency and efficacy. The extract is made from certified organic fenugreek seeds, which ensures that I am getting a high-quality and pure product. I particularly appreciated the convenient liquid form, as it allowed me to easily mix it into my daily smoothies or use it as a tincture.
One of the highlighting features of this product is its ability to support healthy glucose and lipid metabolism levels already within normal ranges. As someone who practices a holistic approach to wellness, I found this aspect of the fenugreek extract quite appealing.
The Herb Pharm extract is also gluten-free and non-GMO, which aligns with my personal dietary preferences. Additionally, the company uses High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) analysis to guarantee consistency in potency.
However, there is one downside to this product. The extract contains a significantly high amount of alcohol, which may not be ideal for certain individuals or those with specific dietary restrictions. For instance, I would not recommend this extract to someone who is nursing, as it may cause adverse effects on the baby.
Overall, I believe that Herb Pharm's Mature Seed Fenugreek liquid extract is a high-quality and potent supplement. Its ability to support healthy glucose and lipid metabolism levels and its gluten-free and non-GMO status make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to improve their overall wellness.

🔗Fenugreek Herbal Supplement: 240 Capsules by Nutricost

https://preview.redd.it/z0fexa9fng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f342e38b68e24cebe897944f4229d5ced324ee8
I recently incorporated Nutricost Fenugreek Seed into my daily routine, and I must say, I'm quite impressed with its effects. This product contains high-quality fenugreek, which is traditionally used in ancient Greece, Egypt, India, and China. One standout feature is that it's non-GMO, soy-free, and gluten-free, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences. Additionally, it's manufactured in a GMP compliant and FDA-registered facility, ensuring quality control.
From personal experience, I can vouch for its effectiveness in maintaining blood sugar levels and improving digestion. The capsules are easy to swallow and have a pleasant scent, which is a nice touch. However, one drawback I noticed is that it may not be as effective in lowering cholesterol levels for everyone.
All in all, I believe Nutricost Fenugreek Seed is an excellent herbal supplement worth considering if you're looking to enhance your overall health and wellness. Its natural origins and quality manufacturing make it a reliable option, but do keep in mind individual results may vary.

🔗Fenugreek Herbal Supplement for Women's and Digestive Health

https://preview.redd.it/0uzll0nfng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d78f80fd8e578e1d6d4ccc2e687d6a34bcd7f9b1
I recently came across Swanson's Fenugreek Extract and decided to give it a try. As a health-conscious individual, I was immediately intrigued by its potential benefits for blood sugar regulation, hormone support, and digestive health. It's been about a month now since I started incorporating fenugreek into my daily routine, and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the results.
One of the first things I noticed was an improvement in my digestive system. I've always had a slightly sensitive stomach, so any help in this area is greatly appreciated. Taking one capsule before each meal seemed to make a significant difference in how my body processed food, leading to fewer uncomfortable digestive issues after eating.
Another highlight of using fenugreek extract has been its impact on my energy levels throughout the day. I've noticed that I feel more energized and alert, which has made it easier for me to stay focused and productive during work. Additionally, I've noticed some positive changes in my bedroom routine, with increased vitality and improved performance - much to my partner's delight.
While I have had an overall positive experience using Swanson's Fenugreek Extract, there are a few minor cons worth mentioning. Firstly, the taste can be quite strong and somewhat bitter, which may not appeal to everyone. Secondly, I experienced a mild, temporary headache during the initial few days of use, but this subsided as my body adjusted to the supplement.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I would wholeheartedly recommend Swanson's Fenugreek Extract to anyone looking for a natural way to support their overall health and well-being. Its comprehensive benefits make it a valuable addition to any daily supplement regimen. Plus, with its affordable price and high-quality ingredients, it's definitely worth giving a try.

🔗Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed Capsules, 610mg, 180 Count

https://preview.redd.it/6xqrbwjgng5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a6e5ae20701e725e665770f8ed2ecdb760b4408
I recently started using Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed supplements to boost my milk supply for my little one. As a first-time mom, you could say I've become a bit of an expert on products like this. I love that these capsules are made with non-GMO ingredients and free from any artificial flavors or preservatives. What's more, they're suitable for vegans and allergy sufferers.
One thing that really stood out to me is the size of the capsules. They're quite large but don't worry, they're easy to swallow. Despite the size, they don't cause any discomfort or adverse reactions, at least not for me.
However, I did notice a few cons. First, the product label could be clearer about the recommended dosage and potential side effects. And second, the capsules do not include any flavor, which can be a problem for some users who may not appreciate the taste of the herb.
All in all, I am happy with my choice. Nature's Way Fenugreek Seed has helped me increase my milk supply, and I appreciate the fact that it's an affordable option available at health food stores.

🔗Fairlife High Protein Chocolate Nutrition Shake: A Satisfying and Nutritious Meal Replacement

https://preview.redd.it/gdaxj3vrlg5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce5691cee378ef75fb53e31e352ee6018f171d60
I've been using Fairlife's High Protein Chocolate Nutrition Shake, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for me. As someone who is always on the go, finding a convenient way to get the nutrients I need in a satisfying shake has been quite a challenge. But with this shake, I've finally found something that delivers on taste, texture, and nutrition.
The chocolate flavor is spot-on, not too sweet or overly artificial. It truly tastes like a chocolate milkshake, but without all the sugar and calories. The texture is also impressive, with a smooth and creamy consistency that blends perfectly with both ice and other ingredients. Another highlight is its mixability, which makes it really easy to incorporate into smoothies or other recipes.
However, there's one downside I have to mention - the small amount of residue that sometimes accumulates under the lid. It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it can be a bit off-putting at first.
Overall, I highly recommend Fairlife's High Protein Chocolate Nutrition Shake for anyone looking for a delicious and nutritious way to replace a meal or supplement their diet with extra protein. It's a convenient and satisfying way to fuel your body and achieve your health goals.

🔗High Protein Vanilla Shake

https://preview.redd.it/c6b8a8cslg5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cef8bdb70406f9fa50e868e877e2d92c9a40e951
I have to say, my experience with Core Power Vanilla Protein Shake has been a game-changer for my post-workout recovery. I usually struggle to consume enough protein to help repair and build muscle mass, but these shake bottles have made it so much easier.
The first time I tried Core Power, I was instantly drawn to the smooth and creamy vanilla flavor. It was like a milkshake but with an extra kick of protein. The best part is that each shake bottle contains only 5g sugar and 170 calories, making it a guilt-free choice.
Its high quality protein from ultra-filtered milk is another highlight for me. I know I'm refueling and rebuilding after my intense workouts with every sip. And while I enjoy the convenience of all nine essential amino acids, calcium, and vitamin D3, I also appreciate that it's lactose and gluten-free.
However, I must note that the shake can be quite thick to drink directly from the bottle. But that's not a deal-breaker for me since the taste and benefits vastly outweigh this minor inconvenience. If you're looking for a delicious and nutritious way to boost your protein intake, I would highly recommend giving Core Power a try.

🔗Fairlife Core Power High Protein Milk Shake

https://preview.redd.it/60bgk9vslg5d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b19b6fb581e95e70083c9885086a3c0abc518a8
As a fitness enthusiast, I was super excited to try out this Fairlife Core Power High Protein Milk Shake in Vanilla flavor. I usually consume protein shakes during my post-workout sessions to aid recovery and muscle building. This shake has quickly become my go-to option. The taste is incredibly delicious - it's creamy, smooth, and reminds me of a melted vanilla ice cream. The highlight for me is its high protein content, making it perfect for muscle recovery and repair. It also has a good balance of carbs and fats, which is great for maintaining energy levels during intense workout sessions.
One aspect that sets this shake apart from others is its lactose-free and gluten-free nature. This is a game-changer for people with lactose intolerance who still want to enjoy the benefits of a protein shake. Additionally, it doesn't have any artificial sweeteners, which is a big plus in my book.
As for the cons, I wish there were more variety in flavors available. Vanilla is great, but sometimes I crave something different. Also, the shake is a bit heavy on the fats side. However, these are minor drawbacks considering the overall quality and taste of the shake.
In conclusion, Fairlife Core Power High Protein Milk Shake in Vanilla flavor is a fantastic post-workout drink. Its high protein content, lactose-free nature, and absence of artificial sweeteners make it a superior choice among other protein shakes on the market.

As a fitness enthusiast, I'm always on the hunt for high-protein, nutrient-dense options to fuel my workout sessions. I recently got my hands on the Core Power Milk Shake in Vanilla and it's been a game-changer for me. Every morning, I kick off my day with this shake and feel energized throughout my workout. This liquid gold isn't just about taste, though that's definitely a highlight. It also packs a serious protein punch and even gives your bones a boost with all that calcium.
What sets this milkshake apart from others is its unique filtration process. Core Power uses high-quality milk from their farms and runs it through a unique filtration system that separates out the good stuff like proteins and calcium while ditching the sugar. What you're left with is something that tastes like a treat but acts like a nutritional powerhouse.
The liquid format is another big plus. It's convenient, especially when I'm rushing out the door or need something quick post-workout. Plus, it feels much gentler on my stomach as lactose-intolerant person.
However, it might not be everyone's cup of tea due to its high price point. Additionally, if you're not a fan of the shake's unique taste, it might take some getting used to. Despite these minor cons, I personally wouldn't trade my Core Power Milk Shake for anything else in my fitness routine.

I've always struggled with finding protein shakes that not only taste good but also provide the nutrients I need after a tough workout. This 3 Flavor Variety Pack, including Chocolate, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla, has been a game-changer for me! Made from Fairlife ultra-filtered milk, it's lactose and gluten-free, which is a big plus for those with dietary restrictions.
One thing that really stood out was the 26g of high-quality complete protein in each bottle. It has all the essential amino acids, calcium, and vitamin D3 I need for optimal recovery. The flavors are rich and smooth, making them a delicious treat instead of a bland necessity. Plus, they're shelf-stable, so I can easily stash them in my gym bag for post-workout refreshment.

While I have been extremely happy with my Fairlife Nutrition Plan Chocolate Protein Shakes, there are a few minor cons to consider. First, they can be a bit pricy compared to other protein shakes on the market.

But with Core Power, I can enjoy all the benefits of a protein shake without any of the unpleasant side effects.
However, one downside to Core Power is its relatively high price point. At $2.50 per bottle, it can be quite expensive to incorporate into your daily routine, especially if you're like me and have a few protein shakes a day.
Overall, I've had a great experience with Core Power and feel like it's definitely made a positive impact on my workout recovery. The high protein content and delicious flavors make it a great addition to any fitness enthusiast's diet. Just be prepared to shell out a bit more for this premium product.

As I continued to drink, I noticed how smooth and light the shake was. I didn't feel weighed down or bloated after finishing it, which is always a plus.
One of the features that stood out the most to me was the amount of protein packed into each shake - an impressive 42g!

Another aspect of Core Power Elite that I really appreciated was its convenience. The resealable and portable bottles made it easy for me to take my shake with me wherever I went, whether it was to the gym or on a hike. And since this pack comes with ten 14-ounce bottles, I had plenty to last me through several workout sessions.
However, there was one downside that I noticed. The shelf-stable aspect of the shake meant that it had to be refrigerated after opening. While this wasn't a big deal for me since I usually finished the entire bottle in one sitting, it could be inconvenient for some people who prefer to enjoy their shakes slowly over time.
Overall, I've been extremely happy with my experience using Core Power Elite Chocolate Protein Shake. Its delicious taste, high protein content, and added electrolytes make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to recover from their workouts quickly and efficiently.

It's not just about the taste, though; this shake packs a serious punch with 42g of high-quality protein to help repair and rebuild my muscles post-workout.
One thing that sets Core Power apart from other protein shakes I've tried is the use of ultra-filtered milk, which not only delivers a creamy texture but also ensures that it's free of lactose. As someone who has had their fair share of milk-related tummy troubles, this is a game-changer for me. The packaging is also convenient and easy to use, with a leak-proof, resealable bottle that's perfect for on-the-go sipping.

2024.06.09 02:03 Bulky-Scallion3334 Design a Roleplay class/syllabus

Ok, I posted a week ago about what system should I use to introduce RPG's to my ESL (English Second Language) class (I say ESL because it is a french school, but 85% of students are already fluent)
Goals:

Get the kids to stretch their creative muscles which I often find lacking.
Building social skills
Reading and understanding rule sets (they can read but don't always understand what they are reading)
I've brainstormed and gotten a few ideas and wanted to know what other teachers who have implemented RPG's in their classroom think.

Teach what the basics of Role play is
Use Roleplay Academy cards to do RP exercises
Use Microscope to eventually build a world
Finally, work our way into teaching and explaining and running an exemple game of Quest RPG. Easy and simple system that uses only a D20.
Get a few students to run games for the others.

I label this in 4 steps, but step 2 and step 3 would last several weeks of classes I assume.
Think I can pull it off by training about 4-5 students to be guides and then run games for the others?

2024.06.09 01:06 zenozyrene will i ever be a good mother with how damaged i am …

this is a long read because i’ve been holding all of this inside since the beginning of the year and will probably delete this. i’m a young soon-to-be mom, fresh in my 20’s, just the typical story of getting pregnant at an age that is way too early.
i was on contraceptives as soon as i started becoming active with my then partner because my ex would always change the topic whenever i would bring up using protection so as much as i didn’t want to be on hormonal pills i took it upon myself to be responsible for both of our safety, yet somehow i ended up pregnant.
i’ve had my fair share of guys i used to talk to but none of them were ever serious, he was my first everything, and i mean everything talaga. first boyfriend, first guy na i introduced to my family, first kiss, guy who took my virginity, and first person that i genuinely loved not out of loneliness or a need for connection.
we were together for 11 months, oo hindi umabot ng isang taon because he cheated. we got into an argument that day and it was really heated pero we resolved it naman, i don’t know what the fuck went into his head para mag sinungaling sakin and sabihin na aalis sila ng kaibigan niya and iinom sila pero yun pala bar na pinuntahan nila and he approached a girl na he was attracted to while i was messaging him in the middle of the night waiting until dawn for an update from him. he did all of that while i had no idea, a day passed and it was new years, he made all of these promises na sana makasama pa niya ko ng matagal and for more years together pero nagloko pala siya the night before so it was all a lie. a few days passed again and after not seeing each other for a week and finally getting to spend time together he suddenly wanted to break up with me.
ayaw na niya daw ng responsibilidad pero he wants us to be ‘bff’ premium, no label with the perks of being in a relationship, fuck buddies. of course i didn’t know any better, mahal ko yung tao eh edi pumayag ako pero we both had an agreement na we will still try to fix things. it was tormenting, constant mixed signals from him and tsaka ko nalang nalaman na kinakausap niya yung babae he met sa bar pero he never admitted na he cheated on me with the same girl. i got blindsided while i gave up my self-respect and let him use me just because i was still in love with him kasi he wanted us to still be friends, he said i was a big impact in his life and that he still wanted me beside him. i was still hoping na our relationship was going to be fixed.
i wasn’t sober the first month of this year, tangina ikaw ba naman hiwalayan wala pa man isang linggo lumilipas yung bagong taon tapos ang lapit na sana ng anniversary niyo. and because of my alcohol consumption i eventually blacked out sa bar at my friend’s birthday celebration at the end of january after drinking way too many shots and got rushed sa hospital, and as if the breakup i was dealing with wasn’t enough i found out na i was almost 2 months pregnant with my ex’s baby.
i didn’t have a choice whether i can keep the baby or not, so much for being pro-choice bc that decision was snatched away from me by my mom. of course hindi ako ready, hindi kami ready ng pamilya ko, pero ano bang magagawa namin kung hindi tanggapin nalang kung ano yung nangyare? nagkamali ako so i should own up for what i did, pero hindi lang naman ako yung magisang nagkamali dito. so after being discharged from the hospital, my mother contacted my ex to talk to him and we eventually told him na i was pregnant since the beginning of december and we just found out lang when i got hospitalized. sabi naman niya sasabihin niya kaagad sa mommy niya, since he’s from a broken family the only person he could really tell was his mom.
a few days passed and i messaged and asked him for an update, he then got mad at me and started blaming me for everything and sinusumbat niya na hindi siya ready and paano daw siya kukuha ng pang sustento para sa bata, he eventually told his mom tapos nagusap mga magulang namin. my dad asked him to not communicate or chat me muna since they knew na he is the number one reason for all of the stress i was feeling. his family’s side didn’t know whether to tell his dad or not because natatakot silang tigilan siyang pagaralin, pero my family reassured naman na it’s up to them if they’ll tell his dad and that if may support man silang mabibigay tatanggapin namin kung anong kaya nilang ibigay samin, because at the end of the day ayaw namin umabot na tumigil siyang magaral.
after my hospitalization and our family’s conversation i eventually told my friends nung naka-pasok na ulit ako sa school, they were shocked of course pero they showed their full support, my ex got word na i told my friends then he contacted me saying na wala na daw siya sa picture kapag kumalat na buntis ako, of course i took offense sa sinabe niya bc he was specifically asked not to contact me for the time being pero he still went against my parents’ wishes just to show his ‘concern’, things got heated yet again and we had another argument which resulted in him saying na hinding hindi na daw siya babalik sakin and gaslighted me na he didn’t cheat on me (he still didn’t admit it) and i was not able to go to school again because of the stress.
pinalipas ko yung araw and kinapalan ko na mukha ko na mag beg sakanya na bumalik na siya pero siya yung namimilit na ayaw na daw ng parents ko na magbalikan kami, then i started bleeding heavily and almost lost our baby. what happened wasn’t enough na mabukas utak pati mati niya, my mom had a one-on-one conversation with him where nagmamakaawa na siyang buksan niya isip niya para samin ni baby and that she had to clear the air na inaantay niya lang na balikan niya ko pero that was also not enough kaya we just stopped trying.
kada linggo may nababalitaan nalang ako na nasa bar siya, di talaga enough na i was still processing our breakup and coming to terms with my pregnancy, literal na every fucking week may nalalaman akong ayokong malaman. from different girls, to different bars, from stories galing mismo sa mga kaibigan niya, umabot pa sa point na hindi ko na nakayanan and decided to dropout from college and because of that my friend told his friends about what was happening and madami pa kong nalaman literal na di na naubos mga nalaman ko. i got tired and took matters into my own hands and informed the people he would go to bars with about my situation bc i’ve had enough of hearing abt him na nagpapakasaya habang nagdudusa ako magisa.
there was drama where my name got involved and he got mad at me because of it. then i confronted the girl he was talking to while we were trying to fix things, the girl he cheated on me with. after months of being gaslit and questioning myself if i was delusional i finally got the confirmation na i needed, na he truly did cheat on me. he lied to his friends about when we actually broke up, he lied to me about the reason he wanted to break up was because he wanted to focus on himself, he lied about everything.
i confronted him as soon as i found out he cheated, of course another useless argument between us, him saying na “masaya ka na ba dahil may nalaman ka” and like as if that wasn’t enough sinabe pa niya na nagdedecide pa daw sana siya na balikan ako kaso hindi na daw, it really pisses me off how he has the audacity na ipamukha niya sakin na sinira ko chances namin na magkaayos ulit kami when he ignored my messages during the times i still knew nothing and i was asking if we can try again, and how he literally ignored how my mom was practically begging him to fix things between us. like as if that wasn’t enough, his mom has to shoulder HIS responsibilities, from expenses ko sa pagbubuntis ko whenever i have my monthly checkups, to setting appointments for ultrasounds na hindi naman niya trabaho pero siya gumagawa all while having not a single clue about sa mga pinanggagawa niya.
nag lay low ako after that, i was beginning to be filled with rage. syempre nag greet pa si gago nung birthday ko despite ignoring all of my messages calling him out on his bullshit because he started another argument with me, na parang wala lang akong chats sakanya kaya ayos lang na i-greet niya pero di ko nalang pinansin.
i have been seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist since my hospitalization and was diagnosed with BPD, MDD, and bipolar-ii shortly after, although i cannot go through therapy as of the moment bc i know na we can’t afford it and ayoko nang dumagdag ng dumagdag given the situation my family is in. my doctor’s appointments were rescheduled to an earlier date because of the instances na sumasakit puson ko and he eventually reached out because napansin niya na hindi namin sila binalitaan about sa check-up ko. i told him to just tell his mom to contact my mom because i was already getting tired of communicating with him.
his mom eventually messaged me and asked what was causing me so much stress, i told her na i’ll tell her the next time we see each other and we both agreed. kaso wala eh, nung susunod na check-up ko yung ex ko lang sumulpot which is the first time na sumulpot siya sa lahat ng check ups ko so far, at first i didn’t think much of it kasi gusto daw ni tita na gawin ng anak niya responsibilidad niya kaya pinapunta niya magisa, even though we both agreed to see each other that day and talk. di ko nalang dinibdib, di ko nalang pinansin, pero my ex was starting to post regularly on his socmed accounts again. and i got really triggered seeing him live his life like everything was normal. i asked my mom if i can just chat his mom nalang about everything, she agreed na its the right thing to do since di sinunod ng mommy niya pinagusapan namin and so i told her every single thing that happened and everything i found out na she had no idea about.
the next morning my good for nothing ex messaged me and blocked me on almost everything, of course dahil ang kapal ng pag mumukha niya, he thought the reason why i told his mom was because i assumed na he had a girlfriend because of his stories on insta. he then suddenly started explaining himself na ate lang daw yun ng tropa niya and what not, pati mom niya nagchat sakin na inexplain daw ng anak niya na kapatid lang daw yun ng tropa niya, which made me very confused kasi i didn’t mention anything about him having a new girl. he then suddenly started saying na we wouldn’t work out anymore because the situation we’re in was toxic, and that he wouldn’t apologize after everything because he knows na i will always bring up what happened daw …
the cycle always repeats itself, i had to go back to the hospital again for an emergency checkup because sumakit nanaman puson ko after what happened. his mom accompanied my mom and i and we had a long discussion about everything. she kept insisting na her son will eventually change, all while telling us how hard its been on her part because she doesn’t know how to tell her ex-husband because they are not on good terms nor do they speak to each other, di naman daw siya nagkukulang na pagsabihan ex ko na gawin na niya yung tama, he grew up in a broken family and she does not want him to put our baby in the same position, she keeps urging him not to do the same thing his father did to her and their family.
after all of that i contacted him, kasi at this point i have nothing to lose anymore, literal na walang wala na ko. and i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt kasi naaawa ako sa dinadala ng mommy niya. i suggested na mas maganda if we talk in person kung anong balak niya para sa future ng anak namin and he agreed naman, he said through chat na at the moment he is committed in giving our baby a good life while supporting me so i had a bit of hope and expected something out of the conversation. we met up during my CAS appointment and finally had a conversation na we should’ve had months ago pero it lead to disappointment lang. wala nanaman, walang wala nanaman, he doesn’t want to try again, he doesn’t have any desire to try again, he doesn’t want to apologize, nor does he want to hold himself accountable for the all of the trauma and pain he put me through simply because i will have trust issues if we got back together, na lagi nalang daw akong magdududa, na mahirap na daw ayusin, na maapektuhan lang anak namin if we ever argue, that he had no feelings left for me. i asked him kung ano na ba nagawa niya to change the situation i’m in and syempre wala siyang masagot, i mentioned how he said na he was ‘committed’ to giving our baby a good life and what he means or plans to do and wala siyang masagot, i asked how he plans to ‘support’ me and he said na if busy ako i could just drop off our baby sakanila so he can look after her and napa-wtf nalang ako kasi ganun ba kababaw idea niya sa ‘support’. i asked kung ano ng na-contribute niya other than pain and stress and straight up sabi niya wala pa, ang dami niyang ginagastos which i see online and tinanong ko magkano na naambag sa pag bubuntis ko or para sa mga gamit ni baby and syempre nganga lang siya. and siya pa nagtanong bakit daw ako nag-expect, which is so off-putting kasi i am entitled to have expectations concerning our child and what he plans for our future?
it didn’t matter na i told him i was willing to forgive him for everything he has done so our baby can grow knowing that both of her parents are there together. it literally did not matter na i was willing to set aside our differences and make things work out between us and change what needs to be changed. none of it matters to him, and i have never felt so much rage and anger before in my 20 years of living because of his half-assed answer and sincerity. i have lost everything, from the reputation i built up in school, to the dreams i have to let go of, the opportunity to seek out the world, the chance to meet new people. maybe it is selfish for me to want to have a family after basically losing everything i built from the ground up, maybe it is selfish of me to want him to change and break the cycle. maybe it is selfish for me to want to raise my baby with someone beside me.
walang araw na hindi ko naaalala lahat ng nangyare, walang araw na hindi ko narerelive yung moment na nalaman kong niloko ako, walang araw na hindi ako diring-diri sa sarili ko pati sa katawan ko because for some reason i feel ‘used’ and ‘dirty’. i am in so much pain that i haven’t fully processed all while carrying a baby. i’ve tried just about everything to distract myself and keep my mind off from thinking about what happened to me. hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko sa sarili ko. i don’t know where to put all of this pain and anger inside of me, i don’t know kung paano ako babangon at paano ko tutulungan sarili ko dahil ginawa ko na lahat pero bakit bumibigat lang habang tumatagal?
i love my baby, i love the fact that i am about to meet someone new, someone i could pour out my love to and yet i am so afraid. i’m afraid na i’ll be a bad mom, i’m afraid of raising this child alone, the amount of guilt that i have bottled inside me is eating me up. because why? why do i have to go through all of this? why do i have to feel this immense amount of pain in the most vulnerable stage of my life as a woman? why do i have to go through hell while carrying my baby? my baby doesn’t deserve to feel the pain that i feel, my baby doesn’t deserve any of this and neither do i. i want to feel genuinely happy about this whole situation, but whenever i see posts online about pregnancy announcements, gender reveals, couples celebrating together for the life they created i can’t help but compare them to myself.
ayoko na ganto nalang nararamdaman ko, ayoko na hindi pa man nakakalabas anak ko nakakaramdam na siya ng sakit pati lungkot sa loob ng tiyan ko. this journey has been so fucking painful, how destroyed my self-confidence and self-esteem is, to feeling digusted by my own body and anything sexual, trying to deal with my mental disorders, to constantly having anxiety and ptsd, to being a lethargic mess because of pre-natal depression all while having to worry about the wellbeing of my baby and what the future holds for the both of us. it hurts seeing someone live their life like they didn’t cause irreparable trauma against someone, it pains to see how my baby’s father doesn’t seem to be excited or seem to care as much as i do. i can’t get over how unfair this situation has been, i know nothing in life is fair but what in the actual fuck kasi literal na ako lang talo dito, he can keep running, he can keep avoiding everything, seeing him live his life like he didn’t get his only ex pregnant, i keep seeing his posts about buying and selling expensive perfume online and him just pumping protein into his muscles in the gym using his mom’s money, hit up other girls, he can even switch universities and start over again which is a new issue i have to worry about because to me it seems like he doesn’t want to be associated with anything that ties us together and there’s the possibility of having to wait another 4 fucking years for him to be ‘applicable’ to pay child support since he’s still a student. he keeps getting away with everything and it has been frustrating to see him get his way and get what he wants all the fucking time habang di man niya cinoconsider wellbeing namin mag-ina.
i wish moving on and letting go was easy as it sounds, i wish i could forget about everything so i can carry this child in peace, i wish i wasn’t filled with anger and resentment because i hate it, i hate wanting to see him suffer as much as i am, i hate how i’m wishing the worse for him because this is not who i am. i’ve turned into someone so evil and spiteful and the fact that i can’t fully cut him off from my life because of different factors such as our families and our child’s right to meet her father. i wish in some other universe i am able to nurture my child inside my womb without having to cry my soul out almost everyday, that i could have been put in a better situation so my baby does not have to feel sadness and pain. i am not the perfect person, nor have i made the right decisions in life, my actions have led me to where i am right now yet do i really deserve all of this? will it ever get easier, i really need to know if it’ll eventually get easier kasi pigang-piga na ko. all i could ever wish for as a woman and as a mother is to be able to provide my child with a family and an environment that she deserves to be born and grow up in, lahat nalang pinagdaanan ko pero bakit pati yun pinagkakitaan samin, i will forever be stuck asking myself why my baby and i weren’t enough.

2024.06.08 23:18 mint0909 Costco Protein Shakes - Which one on Wegovy or Semaglutide?

Hi! So Costco has 4 Protein shakes primarily:

Does anyone have any information about these four as to which would be best to take daily or even multiple times a day to get Protein? They are all somewhat similar but vary in ingredients and nutrional facts on their labels. I really appreciate any recommendations of which 1 or 2 to buy.
Thank You!

2024.06.08 20:45 Pitiful_gamer Taifuu, the Disaster Curse of Hurricanes

Taifuu, the Disaster Curse of Hurricanes

Appearance:

Taifuu is a small (about 5’4), shy, and feminine spirit with pale teal skin that almost seems to have something moving underneath her. There also seems to be CE floating around them as if it was smoke or steam coming off of her. Taifuu’s clothing seems to be made of pure winds that are extremely dark and change in appearance constantly. Her wind clothing can range from an ancient Greek appearance, Heian Era Japan, to modern American style clothing. This is the appearance of Taifuu as a Cursed Womb. When enough time has passed, Taifuu will transform into a much taller Cursed Spirit made out of wind. This version of Taifuu is much stronger in this form and can fully utilize the use of their CT. She now reaches a height of 6’0 and has a lot more visible muscles. Furthermore, she now has a singular horn on her head, dark gray accents on her arms and legs as if stained with ink, and the aforementioned CE winds surrounding her grow in size and seem to spread further. These CE wind tendrils can also be used to fight others.

Background:

Taifuu is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit that originated from humanities fear of tornadoes and hurricanes around the world.

Cursed Technique: Disaster Winds

This CT is the technique of Taifuu and allows her to create and control powerful winds. This technique is extremely powerful as Taifuu can surround opponents in powerful winds to then bring the target/s closer to her or away from her. This technique has a variety of uses besides that and can even create tornadoes of varying sizes, even being able to reach a category five tornado. Furthermore, Taifuu can create powerful gusts of wind at such narrow levels they can simulate the effect of Sukuna's slashes, but at a weaker level. This CT allows Taifuu to support her fellow disaster curses heavily as the combination of her winds can cause devastating attacks. These deadly combinations can be labeled as Maximum Techniques as they are the peak of the two CTs, but they can only be used if both users are present and cooperating.

Jogo

Maximum Technique: Burning Tornado When both Jogo and Taifuu are using their CTs in tandem, the Maximum Technique: Burning Tornado is born. This is exactly that, a giant flaming tornado that spreads fire everywhere and can cause a lot of long lasting destruction to anything unlucky enough to be caught in it. The tornado itself is a category five tornado with the added bonus of spewing fire in all directions as it tears apart the surroundings.

Mahito

Maximum Technique: Wind Demon When both Mahito and Taifuu are using their CTs in tandem, the Maximum Technique: Wind Demon is born. This Maximum Technique births a humanoid shikigami reaching up to 30 feet tall while being able to similar attacks to that of Taifuu. This massive demon can send out massive shockwaves of wind, causing massive destruction to a city if left untouched for too long.

Dagon

Maximum Technique: Swarming Hurricane When both Dagon and Taifuu are using their CTs in tandem, the Maximum Technique: Swarming Hurricane is born.

Hanami

Maximum Technique: Woodland Landslide

Domain Expansion: Eternal Living Cyclone

When this DE is opened, both the user and opponents are brought into the center of a destroyed city filled with rubble while powerful winds are surrounding them. These winds only get faster as Taifuu uses her CT, reaching up to that of a category five cyclone (157 mph). Taifuu can also shrink the size of this cyclone, forcing opponents into close combat or be ripped apart by the intense winds. Furthermore, Taifuu can send out powerful wind attacks to either crush or cut opponents all while the opponents are having to worry about the ruble, the devastating cyclone, and Taifuu herself closing in on them.

2024.06.08 17:49 Jupiter177 My Simple Brain Fog Treatment Guide 101

Experts say we’re facing a silent pandemic called brain fog. This condition, often overlooked, affects countless people, making daily tasks feel like wading through mud. Brain fog isn’t just about occasional forgetfulness or mental fatigue; it’s a persistent issue that can drastically reduce your quality of life.
Understanding brain fog is crucial. It’s more than a nuisance—it's a symptom of deeper health issues, such as inflammation in the brain. By recognizing and addressing brain fog, you can reclaim your mental clarity and improve your overall well-being.
What is Brain Fog?
Brain fog is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that affect your ability to think clearly. Common symptoms include forgetfulness, lack of focus, confusion, and mental fatigue. It’s like trying to operate your brain with a low battery.
The root cause of brain fog often lies in inflammation in the brain. When your brain is inflamed, it can’t function at its best. This inflammation can result from various factors such as diet, stress, and underlying health conditions.
By identifying and reducing these inflammatory triggers, you can significantly improve your mental clarity and cognitive function. Understanding these mechanisms is the first step towards combating brain fog effectively.

Hidden Factors Causing Brain Fog

Gluten: Impact on Brain Health
Gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains, can trigger brain fog in sensitive individuals. For those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, consuming gluten leads to inflammation that can affect the brain, resulting in cognitive difficulties and mental fatigue.
Dairy: How It Contributes to Inflammation
Dairy products are another common culprit. Many people have sensitivities to lactose or casein, proteins in dairy, which can cause inflammation. This inflammation doesn't just affect the gut; it can also impact the brain, leading to symptoms of brain fog.
Sugar: Effects on Cognitive Function
High sugar intake can wreak havoc on your brain. Sugar spikes and crashes lead to fluctuating blood sugar levels, which can cause mood swings, fatigue, and mental fog. Additionally, excessive sugar can promote inflammation, further impairing cognitive function.
Caffeine (Over-reliance): Disruptions in Sleep and Focus
While caffeine can boost alertness, over-reliance can backfire. Excessive caffeine consumption disrupts your sleep patterns, leading to poor quality sleep. This lack of rest can significantly impact your focus and clarity, creating a cycle of dependency and brain fog.
Alcohol: Negative Effects on Mental Clarity
Alcohol is another factor that can cloud your brain. It disrupts sleep and dehydrates the body, both of which can lead to mental fog. Chronic alcohol consumption can also lead to long-term cognitive decline and memory issues.
Eliminating or reducing these hidden factors from your diet can significantly improve your mental clarity and overall health. By addressing these dietary contributors, you take a crucial step toward clearing the fog and enhancing your cognitive function.

Cutting Out Hidden Factors

Benefits of Eliminating Gluten, Dairy, Sugar, Caffeine, and Alcohol

Eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol from your diet can have a profound impact on your health and mental clarity.
Cutting out gluten and dairy can reduce inflammation and improve digestion, leading to clearer thinking and better energy levels. Removing sugar helps stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing mood swings and fatigue. Reducing caffeine can improve sleep quality, enhancing focus and concentration. Lastly, eliminating alcohol prevents mental fog and supports overall cognitive health.

Tips for a Successful Elimination Diet

Plan Ahead: Prepare meals and snacks that fit your new dietary guidelines.
Read Labels: Be vigilant about checking food labels for hidden ingredients.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body adjust and detox.
Find Substitutes: Replace gluten, dairy, and sugar with healthier alternatives like almond milk, gluten-free grains, and natural sweeteners.
Keep a Food Diary: Track what you eat and note any improvements in your symptoms.

By following these steps, you can effectively eliminate these hidden factors and experience significant improvements in your mental clarity and overall well-being.

The 5-Step Brain Fog Recovery Plan

5.1. Sleep: The Foundation

Importance of 7-9 hours of quality sleep
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep is crucial for mental and physical health. Sleep allows your brain to repair and regenerate, leading to improved cognitive function and reduced brain fog.
Tips for Improving Sleep Quality

Stick to a Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Create a Restful Environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
Limit Screen Time: Avoid screens at least an hour before bed.
Relax Before Bed: Engage in calming activities like reading or meditation.

5.2. Move More

Benefits of Regular Physical Activity
Regular physical activity boosts blood flow to the brain, enhances mood, and reduces stress, all of which can help clear brain fog. Exercise releases endorphins, which act as natural mood lifters and brain boosters.
Simple Exercises and Routines to Incorporate into Daily Life

Stretching: A 10-minute stretch routine can help you feel more alert.
Walking: Take a brisk walk around the block or during lunch breaks.
Yoga: Incorporate yoga sessions to combine physical movement with mindfulness.
Mini Workouts: Do short, high-intensity workouts if you're short on time.

5.3. Good Food

Incorporating Anti-inflammatory Foods
Eating anti-inflammatory foods can reduce brain inflammation and improve mental clarity. Focus on a diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients.
Examples: Dark Leafy Greens, Berries, Turmeric, Ginger

Dark Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with vitamins and minerals.
Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in antioxidants.
Turmeric: Contains curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Ginger: Helps reduce inflammation and supports brain health.

Incorporating these foods into your daily diet can help combat brain fog and boost overall cognitive function.

5.4. Mind Training

Techniques for Training the Mind
Training your mind involves practices like mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive exercises. Mindfulness teaches you to stay present, while meditation can help calm the mind and improve focus.
Cognitive exercises, such as puzzles and memory games, challenge your brain and enhance cognitive function.
Benefits: Conscious Control, Thought Regulation, Emotional Balance
Mind training offers numerous benefits:

Conscious Control: Strengthen your ability to focus and make conscious decisions.
Thought Regulation: Improve your ability to manage and redirect thoughts.
Emotional Balance: Achieve a more balanced emotional state, reducing stress and anxiety.

5.5. Do What You Love

Importance of Engaging in Activities You Love
Engaging in activities you love is vital for mental well-being. Pursuing your passions can bring joy and satisfaction, making life more fulfilling.
How Flow States Contribute to Mental Clarity and Overall Happiness
When you do what you love, you’re more likely to enter flow states—periods of deep immersion and focus. Flow states enhance mental clarity, boost productivity, and contribute to overall happiness. These states are incredibly restorative and help reduce brain fog, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

More tips

Brain works like muscles. -More you give healthy acute stresses like resistance training in case of muscles the more healthy your brain will be .

Live a Life Mission-Oriented

Living a life mission-oriented provides a sense of purpose and direction, which can enhance motivation and cognitive clarity. This focus can reduce brain fog by creating a structured approach to daily activities and decisions, ensuring mental energy is channeled effectively.

Live a Life Goal-Oriented

A goal-oriented life emphasizes setting and achieving specific objectives, which can improve mental focus and discipline. Regularly working towards goals helps train the brain to stay on task, reducing instances of brain fog and enhancing overall cognitive function.

Share Emotions with Loved Ones

Sharing emotions with loved ones fosters emotional support and reduces stress, which can significantly impact cognitive health. Emotional expression and support networks help clear mental clutter, alleviating symptoms of brain fog by providing psychological relief.

Accept New Tasks and Try to Complete Them

Taking on new tasks and striving to complete them stimulates brain activity and promotes neuroplasticity. This constant mental challenge helps improve problem-solving skills and cognitive resilience, reducing the likelihood of experiencing brain fog.

Long Walks Frequently

Frequent long walks enhance physical fitness and increase blood flow to the brain, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery. This physical activity can improve mental clarity and reduce symptoms of brain fog by boosting overall brain health.

Read Books Even for 10 Minutes Daily

Reading daily, even for just 10 minutes, engages the brain in continuous learning and comprehension activities. This regular cognitive exercise helps improve concentration and mental acuity, which can alleviate brain fog over time.

Talk to More People

Engaging in conversations with others stimulates cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and language skills. Social interactions can reduce feelings of isolation and mental stagnation, helping to clear brain fog and enhance mental sharpness.

Learn a New Hobby

Learning a new hobby stimulates neurogenesis, the process of forming new neurons in the brain. Engaging in novel activities can enhance cognitive flexibility and mental resilience, reducing brain fog by keeping the brain active and adaptable.

Build an Audience on Social Media

Building an audience on social media involves creating content, interacting with followers, and managing online presence. This multifaceted activity can enhance creativity, strategic thinking, and communication skills, helping to combat brain fog by keeping the mind engaged and dynamic.

Learn Public Speaking

Learning public speaking improves cognitive functions such as memory, organization, and verbal communication. The process of preparing and delivering speeches challenges the brain, which can help alleviate brain fog by boosting confidence and mental clarity.

Plant Trees and Take Care of Them Initially

Planting trees and taking care of them involves physical activity, responsibility, and a connection with nature. This process can reduce stress and enhance mental well-being, thereby reducing brain fog by promoting a sense of accomplishment and relaxation.

Saturated Fat and Sunlight

Consuming healthy saturated fats and getting adequate sunlight can improve brain health by providing essential nutrients and promoting the production of vitamin D. These factors contribute to better cognitive function and energy levels, helping to alleviate symptoms of brain fog.

2024.06.08 01:45 torturedsoul29 I most likely have a horrible disease but am too afraid to go to the doctor

I have absolutely no idea why I'm making this post. I guess I just need to vent. I have no friends to talk to and my parents don't take any of my pain and concerns seriously. They think my pain is all in my head. Sigh.
Where to start? I wasted my entire 20s laying in bed, not doing anything with my life. I will turn 30 in september. I have been unemployed for years, don't know how to drive, barely graduated high school, never went to college, have no friends, never had a boyfriend, never even kissed a guy.... in other words, I'm a huge loser. Don't tell me I'm not. I know I am.
As if being a huge loser that never achieved anything isn't bad enough, I have now also developed chronic burning pain all over my body and my face which means that I will most likely never be able to work, I will never get a boyfriend (because what kind of man wants to date a woman with a ton of health issues?) and I will continue being a burden to my parents for the rest of their lives. My pain as of right now isn't that bad. It's decreased a lot these last 3 weeks but I know it's only a matter of time until it gets bad again. Honestly life has lost all meaning to me. The only reason why I'm still alive and haven't killed myself yet is because killing myself is hard and I don't wanna upset or traumatize my parents. If there was an easy and painless way to kill myself without upsetting my parents I would do it.
Maybe it's my fault that I'm in pain. I neglected my body for so long. I didn't take great care of myself. From the ages of 23 to 27 I barely brushed my teeth. Disgusting, I know. Then in late 2021 I eventually developed a horrible toothache. I went to the dentist and he told me that I had 2 big cavities. Got one tooth pulled out and another tooth filled. After my cavities got fixed the tooth pain eventually decreased a lot but it never fully went away. I continued experiencing mild, dull tooth pain. Went back to the dentist again who told me there was nothing wrong with my teeth and he had no idea why I'm still experiencing pain. Said that my gums look inflammed. Bought myself a toothpaste meant to decreased gum inflammation. Didn't do shit. I just decided to ignore my mild tooth pain and hoped and prayed it would eventually go away if I just brushed my teeth everyday.
Fast forward to late 2023. Woke up in the middle of the night because of a horrible toothache. Truly was the worst toothache of my life. 0/10. Wouldn't recommend. Felt a horrible electric shock like pain coming from one of my upper left teeth. The pain only lasted a couple seconds but it hurt like shit. I hope I never experience pain like this again. Went to the dentist the next morning. He told me I had a small cavity in one of my upper left teeth. I told him I couldn't believe small cavities could hurt this damn much. He said it happens sometimes. He fixed my cavity and the pain immediately vanished. Thank god. But then 2 weeks later I developed a severe hot and cold sensitivity in my upper left teeth and started experiencing a mild but annoying shooting pain coming from one of my upper left teeth. Went back to the Dentist again. He took an x-ray of my teeth. Said there is nothing wrong with my teeth but mentioned that I do have wear on my teeth. Said I most likely grind my teeth at night and that this is causing me pain. Got a custom made mouth guard made for me. Wore this mouth guard for like 3 days but it just made my pain worse so I stopped wearing it. My tooth pain was getting worse. It turned form dull to burning. I was at the end of my rope and didn't know what to do anymore. Went back to the Dentist again and told him my pain is getting worse and to please help me. He suggested a root canal. Said that my big filling in one of my upper left teeth is maybe irritating the nerves of that tooth. I agreed to a root canal. A couple days after my root canal treatment I was still dealing with pain and hot and cold sensitivity. I felt hopeless and didn't know what to do anymore. Then all of a sudden one month after my root canal treatment the shooting tooth pain decreased and my burning tooth pain turned into dull, mild tooth pain. I was finally starting to feel better. I was happy but still annoyed because the pain wasn't completely gone. Went to another dentist who told me I have severly inflammed gums and I'm in desperate need of a dental cleaning. And that my pain is coming from my gums. Also told me that I have very tight jaw muscles and that my jaw muscles have shortened. 3 days before my dental cleaning appointment I all of a sudden start experiencing a mild burning pain on my upper left cheek. This is a completely new kind of pain that I never experienced before. I type the words "burning facial pain" into google. (Big mistake.) Google tells me that I have trigeminal neuralgia (also nicknamed the suicide disease.) Atypical TN causes burning facial pain that can be quite severe. There is no cure for this disease. Only medication that comes with a lot of side effects and that may or may not work. I break down crying and cancel my appointment for a dental cleaning. My facial pain at the time was quite mild and went away after 2 days but I still convinced myself I must have tn even though my pain was not anywhere close to severe.
2 months later, at the beginning of april the burning facial pain comes back again and this time it's not mild anymore. On a pain scale of 1 out of 10 I would label the pain I experienced in april as a 4 to 5. Started experiencing burning pain on my upper left cheek then the burning pain traveled between my eyebrows and then it also traveled to the other side of my face. I found out splashing cold water on my face decreases my pain a lot and gives me a lot of relief for a couple minutes. After almost a month of experiencing constant burning facial pain, the pain all of a sudden decreases a lot, almost vanishes. As soon as the pain decreased I cried tears of joy. I was so happy and grateful. I experienced little to no facial pain the entire month of may but I did start experiencing random mild burning pain all over my body. That's when I started to get really concerned. Obviously there must be something wrong with my nerves. This can't be normal. Now we have june and the facial burning pain has come back but it's not as bad as it used to be. Most of the time my facial pain is mild and can be easily ignored but I definitely experience flare ups from time to time. Also experience random aches and tingling in my feet, hands, lower back...basically everywhere. My muscles in my body and my face also feel quite stiff and have felt stiff for years. I'm a couch potato that barely leaves my house so it's no wonder I have stiff muscles. Maybe I don't have a horrible disease, Maybe my neuropathy is caused by overly stiff muscles and not moving my body enough...I would like to believe that. But I can't help but think that all of this pain must be caused by something much more serious.
I can't put into words how much I hate myself for wasting my youth, my best years and now I'm dealing with chronic pain and I will never be able to live a normal life. I almost forgot what it's like to be pain free. :( Maybe this pain is my punishment for wasting my youth and neglecting my body for so long. Maybe I deserve all of this. I don't know. I know I should see a doctor but I'm so afraid of being diagnosed with something horrible like MS. I would not be able to handle that.
Big sigh. What I regret most is that I have never dated anyone. That I have never felt the touch of a man. That I have never been hugged and kissed by someone who truly loves me. I will never get to experience true romantic love and whenever I see couples holding hands, I try very hard not to cry because I know I will never experience this kind of love. I wasted my life. I'm truly the most useless, pathetic human being on this planet.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. I truly needed to get this off my chest.

2024.06.07 20:36 cryogenicbeans Seeking help with supplements, feel like crap

Hoping for some help/advice from you lovely people regarding supplements. I was feeling great for a few months on Smartypants women’s multi (label in 3rd picture), but stopped taking them a couple months ago when finances became tight. A couple weeks ago I started on Double Wood’s methylated multivitamin (label in 4th picture) and did notice a difference, but after about a week my energy level dropped and I’ve been exhausted again with brain fog and muscle/joint pain.
I’m not sure if maybe I’m over-methylating with this higher dosage or if maybe I’m sensitive to the TMG? I’ve been reading on supplementation for mthfr but am having trouble understanding what I should be taking in terms of dosages and additional supplements aside from methylfolate/methyl b12
**Additional diagnoses in case it’s relevant: MDD, adhd inattentive, celiac disease, suspected ASD

2024.06.07 18:17 junebugug on a regular near death schedule and can’t see a rheumatologist until september

ever since december i (19F) regularly get a condition called rhabdomyolysis from my body attacking my own joints and muscles. my CPK (muscle enzymes) like to release into my body and poison me and at the levels i get and the rate i get them at it would relatively quickly result in death without treatment. the ER doctor has labeled it as myositis but i can’t see a rheumatologist until september, and even my primary won’t see me until late august now. my local E Hospital has me on a hospitalization/ steroids as needed plan until i can get official diagnosis and treatment. i see a neurologist soon and i think my migraines may be autoimmune so i’m hoping they can help me get into the rheumatologist sooner. all of my autoimmune blood tests are consistently off the charts and i am dreading feeling this way all summer.

2024.06.07 18:13 rdreamgirlsdreamgirl What if I’m not autistic?

I just keep wondering what if it’s all just trauma responses and I’m not actually autistic. I think I belong in the community regardless bc of the ways I experience life but I’m terrified of seeking diagnosis because my worst fear is being misdiagnosed with BPD. As a queer woman I’m worried I’ll be misinterpreted as crazy rather than having social and sensory difficulties causing me extreme anxiety, depression, and irritability.
I’m really trying to tell myself it doesn’t matter what I am or am not because it’s “not important” but like, it is important to me. My friends and family constantly say stuff like “well that doesn’t mean you’re autistic” or “do you think maybe you’re remembering it wrong?” and it’s SO invalidating. Sometimes I want to drop the mask and show them all how autistic I can really get since I “don’t seem autistic.” Like… DUH, my whole life I’ve been punished or ostracized or otherwise criticized for being myself. Of course I don’t seem autistic to you, I’ve worked very very hard to hide my autistic traits since an early age.
Idk what I’m asking tbh. I guess how do y’all handle your self-diagnosis (or even medical diagnosis) being invalidated by people who think they know you better than yourself? I feel like I can’t trust any experience I’ve ever had. I feel like I’m being dramatic or weak because I can technically muscle through but am “choosing” not to by claiming I’m autistic and using it as an excuse. But the thought of having no explanation for it other than “ig ur just crazy” is really upsetting.
Also just to be clear there is nothing wrong with having BPD, but it’s highly stigmatized and I fear that I’d be diagnosed with it due to gendered bias in psychology rather than because it’s the most accurate label.

2024.06.07 03:00 infinite0sky Does anyone take klonopin?

My Dr prescribed me 30 to take as needed for pain. Does it help you at all? I realize there’s a risk of dependency so I want to be careful. Would love to hear some insights.
Edit: a lot of people are saying it's not for pain, however, it is actually lol. It is used off label for muscular TMJD and there are studies that show it is effective. It acts similar to a muscle relaxer.

2024.06.07 01:13 cowboy_mothman seven weeks on T??? 👹👹

this is late bc i feel like things have leveled out a lot?? unless something dramatic happens this will be a joint seven/eight weeks update since i take my ninth shot tomorrow i think (i can’t count though. don’t quote me on this)
THINGS IVE NOTICED:

voice fluctuations over days and weeks. its higher or deeper depending on??? the atmosphere?? the stars?
guys my lowest singing note has dropped like a full octave
speaking of: singing is marginally easier. i could be cracking less or i could just be getting used to how my voice works? who’s to say
So Hungry. though i’m off my appetite-suppressing adhd meds for the summer so that could be a factor. i am devouring though.
i can’t stop making “I’m a growing boy” jokes. (T symptom)
also: Hangry. it’s shocking to me actually. i’m rude to someone and think wtf was that?? just to notice i’m hungry again. crazy.
hair on legs, back, stomach etc. as usual.
my rat stache has grown back to how it was two weeks ago and instead of shaving im just going to see where it goes methinks
some muscle tone in calves, arms, back etc.
can’t mimick my cat anymore😢😢 guys the rumors are true. i can’t hit those piercing “let me outside” meows anymore
back/chest acne is stable quality but spreading lower along my spine (presumably where i’m getting more hair?? i can’t see me back so hypothetically i guess)

THINGS THAT MIGHT BE MADE UP:

irritability (separate from hangriness). i put this the maybe category even though i’ve been perhaps noticing this for weeks?? i am not one to accurately label my emotions unfortunately, T or not.
not to be the millionth person to make this comparison but i sound like john mulaney APPARENTLY!?? i wasn’t even the one to say it my mom told my i did out of the blue 🥸

ok that’s all for now see you later 👹👹👹👹👹

2024.06.06 23:40 Free_Can_1899 Aches, hypersensitivity all over body, paired with anxiety, "fight or flight" feels

I am 48 and having some symptoms that are really interfering with my life. I'm not sure if it's perimenopause related, or a drug reaction, or something unknown. Halp! For the past week, it feels like there is a dial on body sensitivity and mine is turned up to eleven. It hurts to walk barefoot, open jars or peel stubborn plastic labels. Feels like normal pressure on my body is painful, as if I lost all padding around my bones! I feel anxious and kind of "fight or flight" like with odd cold rush sensations in my body.
Background: Last summer, I started having irregular periods. After two months without having one, I had a week of these weird flu-like symptoms (entire body felt too sensitive to touch to the point of pain in walking, typing, doing normal body things), chills, and even a low fever. With some mental emotional stuff too... anxiety especially. I found out it could be something called "hormonal flu" that some women experience in peri. I started my late period and the horrid symptoms went away.
I joined Maven through a wonderful employer benefit, got a menopause specialist obgyn, and got on Slynd, a low dose progestin pill to stabilize my hormones / prevent ovulation and the crazy spikes in hormones. I have had ocular migraines, so the doc will not start me on HRT until full menopause.
Progestin mini-pill seemed to work great aside from a full month of bleeding! Slept great, felt good...
Until 10 days ago. Trying to treat the night time version of Restless Legs which is called PLMD (periodic limb movement disorder), since a sleep study showed it was killing my sleep, a sleep doc started me on low dose Pramipexole. I do have low ferritin, and am working on that, since it can cause RLS / PLMD. Pramipexole is a dopamine agonist given to parkinsons patients, but also to Restless Legs folks at much lower doses. It does not agree with everyone. That night, all my weird symptoms came on--aches, body hypersensitivity, bad sleep, anxiety.
I stopped taking the Pramipexole after 2 nights, tried Ropinirole (another dopamine agonist) for 3 nights, stopped that, and now 3 days later, I am still feeling these symptoms and really at a loss of where to turn.
Has the progesterone low dose just stopped working and I'm back in hormonal flu and it's nothing to do with the RLS drugs? Is it a prolonged reaction to the drugs? Do I have fibromyalgia?
What doctor do I even go and see who knows about all these things?? I woud love to take a muscle relaxer or something right now to just feel comfortable, but more than anything want to know what's happening in my body. The anxiety it has brought seems to in turn make it worse, in the way that focusing on bodily sensations can instensify them, especially "stress response" type feelings. But in my gut I think I know that this is not caused by anxiety.
Thanks for reading this far! Would love your thoughts.

2024.06.06 13:41 Unable-Transition-66 Why don’t we have a class in school dedicated solely to Nutrition? Why did I have to learn these basic, potentially life-saving things by myself?

So I've been at a normal weight for most of my life. I recently returned to normal weight range after learning about nutrition and I'm only a couple months away from reaching my goal weight. I have a very common story which I'm sure many people here can relate to.
I was at a normal weight until I left home, gained weight during Covid lockdowns and while doing a Law degree. The reason is obvious. Since I no longer had other people deciding when and what I will eat (parents, school cafeteria) and did not have any education about calorie counting, strength training, etc... I kept eating the foods I liked from my upbringing (especially carbs such as pasta and rice) while dropping other ones that I did not enjoy so much (vegetables, fruits except bananas, also very high in carbs).
I kept being active (10k steps a day is just my regular commute and errands; I'm European) so I gained weight very slowly. I estimate retroactively that I was probably averaging 2200-2300 calories a day.
At some point, I started disliking the way my legs looked and generally felt, not fitting in the pants (and especially underwear) I've been wearing since high school so I decided to look up my BMI. I was 89kg (196 burger units) then which put me solidly in the overweight category.
I then took to learning about calories and strength training. I didn't like how I was so bottom-heavy while having skinny arms and chest and with a noticeable belly. I learned very basic things such as "do this exercise for this muscle, 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions and then go up in weight once that's no longer challenging". Something never mentioned in PE class but which has literally changed my life.
I also felt greatful for nutrition activists for the first time once I realized that basically everything that I eat has a very straightforward calorie label on the back. Before I started researching, I didn’t even know that a young adult like me needed 2000kcal worth of energy to maintain weight. My biggest scare as a southern European was seeing how many calories olive oil had (over 800 per 100ml!!). I never even thought about olive oil as anything more than "what we cook with” and now I’m steaming and boiling everything rather than frying it. Instead of oily fats, I make my food taste good using regular spices (no mayo, no sauces!) and hot peppers (very good micronutrient profile) and immediately, basically effortlessly, got my daily routine into a calorie deficit.
I then swore off chocolate and peanut butter, the only sweets that I consumed somewhat regularly and became a bad habit once I started college. With these things done, I took to walking and lifting even more than I was. I now have a net 1500kcal diet. I only count calories expended by walking, never by lifting, and I always take the lowest estimate.
I've become much more scientific with counting calories but I also got a lot of success out of consistently overestimating calories consumed whilst underestimating calories expended. So when calculating a meal's calories I would round up 623 to 700 whilst I would take my calories spent on my phone with a grain of salt, rounding down 387 to 300, etc...
Now, I have an app, a kitchen scale and a few other methods to more accurately measure these things but I still set myself a low-ball calorie goal so that any potential overestimate is still a deficit. Since I’m now getting my macro and micronutrients in the right amounts and proportions, I actually feel great despite not being at maintenance level for months at a time!
My arms and chest look very good now and I can see my abs coming in. My legs are no longer a source of shame and I love going outside, walking for hours of my free time and knowing that nobody will look at me and think "he's in bad shape." Vanity and shame are both motivating. Make proper use of both of them!
My only problem is that I had to learn all these things by myself. We don't let people drive without a license so why are we giving people control over their food choices without teaching them a lot of basic stuff about calorie counting, macro and micronutrients? You literally should be required to pass a full-course exam before you can enter certain aisles at the supermarket.
Why doesn't nutrition get a whole class by itself like PE? Everyone knows that 'exercising is good for you' but fewer people know that an hour of exercise can be thrown into the trash in 5 seconds with a teaspoon and a jar of peanut butter, or a little too much olive oil, or a handful of gummies that surely can't contain a pound of broccoli's worth of calories, right? They're so much smaller!
Nutrition is not intuitive. Even less so than PE. Our curricula are outdated. PE classes came in vogue in the late 19th and early 20th century when hardly anyone was able to sustain consistent caloric surpluses so nutrition should be a class of its now. Furthermore, strength training should be emphasized. Every Junior and Senior High School should have a fully-equipped gym with instructors and attendance should be mandatory instead of just having all of us run around a circle.
Now that highly caloric food is fast and cheap even in many developing countries (look at Latin American and Arabic obesity rates, for instance), why aren't we dedicating an entire class to teaching kids from kindergarten to graduation about nutrition? Why aren't we calling our respective equivalents of CPS on parents of obese children? Why are we letting two-thirds or more of our population(s) lose decades of their lives (in general) and of their enjoyment of it in so many ways?
I'm really happy that I figured out how to lose weight and properly feed myself before I became obese or had children to pass bad habits onto. I'm only 21 and, reading many of these posts here, especially from Americans, has made me feel like I dodged a hail of oncoming machine gun fire for later in life.
But now I'm angry looking at the trend-lines for the overweight and obese population in developed and semi-peripheral countries, watching documentaries about Coca-Cola taking control of entire Mexican towns' water supplies, and realizing that so many of my friends, family and neighbors are harming themselves every day because the older generations did all of us a disservice in not properly educating us when it came to these matters.
Very rambly post, I know, but I think I left some good advice to balance out the dooming about the state of the world in general.

The clamps are designed for pipes with the same outside diameter, ensuring a snug and secure fit. It comes with 2 blocks and 4 pieces, giving me enough flexibility to work with different pipe sizes.
However, one minor drawback I noticed was that the clamps are a bit tight at first, requiring some extra effort during installation. Regardless, the LEDAUT clamps have proven to be reliable and efficient in my exhaust system, earning a high rating from me.

Its ability to dampen vibrations while keeping my exhaust secure makes it a must-have for any car owner looking to improve their vehicle's aesthetics and performance.
However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks worth mentioning. First, the installation process can be quite challenging due to its tight fit. Make sure you have the right tools and a good amount of patience before attempting it.

I recently had the chance to try out the SYKRSS Narrow Exhaust Clamp, and I have to say, it's made my vehicle maintenance routine a whole lot easier! As a regular user of clamps for small automotive repairs, I was intrigued by the brand's emphasis on user solutions and their promise of rust-resistance.
Using these band clamps was a breeze, thanks in large part to the special aluminum I-shape block. This feature ensures that the pipe remains uniformly compressed while minimizing the risk of crushing damage. The semi-circular gasket and I-block work together seamlessly to create a tighter seal, effectively preventing any pesky leaks.
What I love most about these clamps is their superior thickness compared to similar products on the market. This additional thickness not only lends to better overall performance but also contributes to the clamps' reusability. In my experience, there was no sign of leakage or rust after using these on my exhaust system.
As with any product, there were a few minor drawbacks. The installation process did require some muscle power and took a bit longer than I initially anticipated. Additionally, the aluminum material can be quite cold to touch, which may be unpleasant for some users.
Overall, I have to recommend the SYKRSS Narrow Exhaust Clamp to anyone in need of reliable and leak-free pipe repair! This product has truly enhanced my clamping experience and made automotive maintenance a less daunting task.

Unlike traditional clamps, these are already shaped to fit most common exhaust pipes, which makes installation a breeze and saves me loads of time. Plus, they come in a neatly packaged box of 10, making them perfect for both DIY projects and professional usage.
On the flip side, these clamps are a bit on the heavier side compared to some other options out there. While this does add to their durability, it may not suit everyone's needs or preferences. However, for me, the trade-off in strength is worth it in the long run.
Overall, I've been incredibly satisfied with the Automann 562. U3105ABK Exhaust Band Clamps. Their preformed design and high-quality material make them a reliable choice for anyone looking to replace or install new exhaust clamps.

Providing a secure and leak-free connection between pipes and hoses
Being easy to install and remove
Being less expensive than other types of clamps
Offering greater flexibility in terms of the radius of the pipe or hose they can accommodate

How do I choose the right size Exhaust Band Clamp?

The size of the Exhaust Band Clamp you need depends on the outer diameter of the pipe or hose you want to clamp together. Measure the diameter, and choose a clamp with an opening that's slightly larger than the diameter. This will ensure a snug fit without overly compressing the pipe or hose.

How do I install Exhaust Band Clamps?

Clean both the pipe or hose and the clamp to remove any dirt or debris
Place the clamp around the pipe or hose where you want it to grip
Compress the clamp onto the pipe or hose using pliers or a screwdriver
Ensure the clamp is tight and secure, and that the teeth or ridges are gripping the pipe or hose firmly

How do I remove Exhaust Band Clamps?

Use pliers or a screwdriver to gently pry the teeth or ridges of the clamp away from the pipe or hose. If necessary, twist the clamp back and forth to loosen it further, and then slide it off the pipe or hose.

🔗Solaray Phytoestrogen One Daily Softgels for Women's Hormonal Support

https://preview.redd.it/b1ao8db56w4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73c314498576985fd313a0a50805f7fe26988400
I've been using Solaray's Phytoestrogen One Daily supplement for a few weeks now, and I must say, it's been quite the journey with them. Upon starting my journey with this supplement, I was initially skeptical about its efficacy, and how it would help my overall health. But boy, was I in for a treat!
The first thing that really stood out to me was the special blend of soy extract, Mexi Yam, Dong Quai root, and Black Cohosh root. This combination seemed like it had been carefully crafted to provide the most benefits possible. I was excited to see how it would affect my overall health.
One of the main things that I've noticed since starting this supplement is how much more energy I have. I used to feel sluggish and tired all the time, but now I feel like I can conquer the world. I'm not sure if it's purely due to the supplement, or if it's a combination of other factors, but either way, I'm absolutely loving it.
On the other hand, there's one thing that I did find somewhat disappointing about this product. The dosage is a little larger than I had initially anticipated, and I sometimes have trouble swallowing the capsules. It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but it's definitely something that I'll keep in mind in the future.
Overall, I'm very impressed with Solaray's Phytoestrogen One Daily supplement. It's definitely helped me to feel more energized and healthy, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their overall health. So go ahead and give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!

I recently started using Solaray's PhytoEstrogen supplement after hearing rave reviews from friends who were experiencing similar menopause symptoms. As someone who has struggled with hot flashes and mood swings, I was intrigued by the idea of trying a natural solution.
Solaray's supplement is packed with plant-based compounds like Mexican yam, black cohosh, soy, and dong quai that have been proven to support healthy hormone levels. The easy-to-swallow capsules make it simple to incorporate into my daily routine.
One thing I really appreciate about this product is how quickly it seemed to work for me. After just a week of taking four capsules each day, I noticed a significant reduction in hot flashes and mood swings. It's also worth mentioning that the natural ingredients in Solaray's formula don't cause any unpleasant side effects that I've experienced with other hormone supplements.
However, there have been a few hiccups along the way. The packaging could use some improvement; my bottle arrived open and torn on the top, which was frustrating. Additionally, I experienced an issue with a duplicate order being sent to me, even though I had spoken to someone on the phone about the mistake.
Overall, I'm pleased with how well Solaray's PhytoEstrogen supplement has worked for me in managing my menopause symptoms. While there were a couple of minor inconveniences with packaging and ordering, the positive effects of the product outweigh these cons.

As a reviewer who has been using the Happy Sisters Supplement by Magdalena, I can't begin to express how much of a difference this product has made in my life. Before discovering this supplement, I suffered from terrible breast pain and swelling, especially before my period.
The blending of herbs, minerals, and oils in this supplement has been incredibly effective in balancing my estrogen levels and improving the function of my lymphatic system. The combination of science and herbal traditions not only provides relief from pain but also addresses inflammation and other issues commonly experienced by women.
One major highlight of this product is its exceptional quality. With non-GMO ingredients and being free of gluten, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, and artificial colors, I trust that I'm putting only the best into my body. Furthermore, the fact that it is formulated by Magdalena Wszelaki, a hormone expert, women's health advocate, and certified herbalist, gives me even more confidence in its effectiveness.
On the other hand, a minor issue I encountered was that it took a few weeks to notice significant improvements in my condition. However, once the supplement started working, the results were undeniably impressive.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Happy Sisters Supplement by Magdalena for anyone seeking relief from fibrocystic breasts or other menstrual-related issues. Its natural ingredients and trustworthy formulation make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being.

I recently gave Natural Factors' WomenSense EstroSense a try, and I must say it has been quite impressive. The supplement is designed to help support hormone balance, which can be a game-changer for many women. Formulated with a blend of herbs and nutrients such as indole-3-carbinol, DIM, turmeric, green tea extract, and milk thistle, EstroSense offers a comprehensive solution to hormonal health.
One of the standout features of EstroSense is its vegetarian capsules, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions. Furthermore, the packaging is both hygienic and informative, which contributes to the overall user experience. I appreciate the fact that the supplement is backed by a reputable brand, Natural Factors, known for its commitment to quality and rigorous testing processes.
During my trial period with EstroSense, I found that it was generally easy to incorporate into my daily routine. The recommended dosage instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I didn't experience any adverse effects or discomfort while taking it.
However, it's important to note that individual results may vary, as the effectiveness of hormonal supplements can be influenced by various factors such as lifestyle, diet, and overall health. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medications.
In conclusion, EstroSense appears to be a well-formulated hormone balancing supplement. Its combination of natural ingredients, the endorsement from healthcare practitioners, and its focus on promoting healthy estrogen metabolism make it a compelling option for individuals seeking support in this area. However, as with any supplement, it's essential to consider personal circumstances and consult with a healthcare provider to determine if EstroSense is the right fit for you.

🔗Christopher's Original Formulas Nourish Female Tonic Supplement Capsules

https://preview.redd.it/ma6gldp66w4d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03e941f568c92fc0a34a1e1387872414f691a102
As a woman in my mid-40s, I've always been conscious about keeping my reproductive health at its best. That's why I started using Christopher's Original Formulas Nourish Female Tonic, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. This wildcrafted and organic supplement promises to support vitality, energy, balance, and overall health of the female reproductive system.
One major highlight for me is the combination of herbs. It's got a mix of traditionally recognized herbs known to promote women's health. The fact that it comes in vegetarian capsules also makes it suitable for people with dietary restrictions.
Now, I can't say I've experienced all the benefits mentioned, such as increased estrogen levels, but I have noticed some noticeable changes. I feel more stable emotionally, and any cramping discomfort I used to feel during my period has been significantly reduced. Plus, my cycle seems to be more regular since starting this tonic.
On the downside, I wish this came in a bigger bottle. With the recommended dose of 2 capsules 3 times daily, this bottle lasts about a month, and that can get a little pricey. But I guess you pay for quality, and when it comes to my health, it's worth every penny.
All in all, I'm grateful to have discovered this Nourish Female Tonic. Despite its small size, it definitely packs a punch when it comes to supporting women's reproductive health.
