A Time We Never Knew - by Freya India - After Babel

#society #youth #health

“This feels nostalgic despite me not even existing during this time.”

“The whole concept of a real ‘childhood’ is completely out the window at this point in time and that’s extremely sad to me. Btw I’m 15, born in 2003.”

“I’m 20 years old so I wasn’t even conceived at the time of this video but it leaves me feeling empty. My highschool experience was nothing like this. I remember short bursts of people living in the moment but EVERYTHING revolved around our phones, Snapchat/Instagram status. It almost makes me angry because I’ve never had simple straight forward interaction as shown in this video. Even looking at people in the background, they are completely present and not buried in their phones. Everyone seemed a lot more social. I’m jealous of millennials/gen x, yall experienced a golden time to be young and free.”

Research explores how a father’s diet could shape the health of his offspring

New research, published in Nature Communications, finds that the macronutrient balance in the diet of male mice affects the level of anxiety-like behaviour of sons and the metabolic health of daughters.

A Heretic’s View: Blaming Food for Obesity Is Like Blaming Water for Drowning

There is a politically expedient but problematic fiction that ‘consensus’ matters in science. Since a million matching opinions do not constitute a fact, a consensus — either real or apparent — is not a statement about evidence but an exercise in groupthink in which the status quo is made explicit.Thus, scientific progress requires conservative and heretical thinkers — conservatives protect the authority and continuity of science, whereas heretics put forth creative dissent in an attempt to push the limits of what we know.

[...]

Before the 20th century, obesity and cardiometabolic diseases such as type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were uncommon. Yet over the past 50 years, the prevalence of these maladies in horses, humans, dogs, cats, lab, and zoo animals increased to epidemic proportions. Given that these herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores have always consumed different diets, the claim that foods and beverages have suddenly caused parallel epidemics in different species is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence. Yet there is no valid evidence supporting this belief.

A very long read - its well worth it.
Interesting and challenging views on the topic of food and why people get fat.
There is a saying that goes:
Diet is Kilos - Exercise is Gram
What the saying does not mention is that the metabolic rate overrules it. Metabolism is the difference that make the difference.
Now, Robert Lustig has some powerful arguments when it comes to the sugar debate, and I think the article overlooked the role lack of fiber and mineral deficiency in food contributes to the general health status in people. But In general I do agree with the assessment proposed.

Here’s a #recipe for a very nutritious and immune-boosting juice:
‘Immune-Boosting’ Morning Cleanse Juice:
5-6 #oranges, peeled and diced
6-8 large #carrots, diced
1-2 inches (or more) sliced #Turmeric root. Note that adding more than this will make the juice more ‘tart’
enter image description here
1/2 inch sliced #ginger root

Serves approximately 4. You can store the excess juice in the refrigerator.

Prepare the items above and pass them through a slow (macerating) juicer. Collect the juice and drink within 24-48 hours.

If you don’t have a #slow #juicer, you can still make this in a standard juicer machine - just pour the #juice through a strainer to remove some of the pulp.

If you have a worm farm, the pulp will make an excellent food for the worms to break down.

OUCH!!
Spasms, or cramps, are involuntary contractions in the hands or feet. The most common sources of spasms include overused muscles and dehydration. Prolonged writing or typing can lead to hand cramping from overuse of the muscles. Other reasons for cramping are low levels of calcium and magnesium. Numerous things can affect your calcium level, but the usual culprit is vitamin D deficiency.
