“We are a guinea pig generation"

Science catches up with what we already knew

This dark side of the Internet is costing young people their jobs and social lives--Washington Post

“We are a guinea pig generation." Couldn't be more true. The previous generations, the Baby Boomers and Gen X, were guinea pig generations for toxic industrial food systems that gave them heart attacks, diabetes, and cancer. The current generation is a guinea pig generation for toxic media.

I'm positively baffled by parents who give their kids iPhones and let them sit around all day on the laptop. Basically training them to be addicts. I'm still more baffled by parents who model internet addiction to their kids by their own behaviors.

Today parents need to use every possible means to get their kids off of internet and live regular lives. I have a flip phone and don't own a computer, still manage to function just fine.

No laptop cafe

A great idea. Let a café be a café, not a computer lab.

Good ideas for boosting SIRT1 through training

New Ideas About Nutrition and the Adaptation to Endurance Training

"a) Once or twice a week, start an 'adaptive' session in a caloric deficit (i.e., in a fasted state such as in the morning before breakfast). This will make sure that SIRT1 activity would be high.

....
d) Train at a low absolute intensity for a long time to maximize the amount of time all of these signals are on while minimizing the mechanical strain on our bodies.

e) Alternatively, use double sessions where the first session depletes glycogen and the second session is performed at a high intensity in a glycogen-depleted state."

Good breakdown of why intermittent fast might not be good for you

Good breakdown by the brothers at the ME Diet of why intermittent fasting (IF) might not be good for you. IF works great for some people, other not. I've tried it several times now including 24 hour fast, but it was very hard never could settle into a pattern. Always massive hunger at the end.

Lymphedema is aided by systemic proteolytic enzymes

Proteolytic enzymes used systemically (taken on empty stomach) "Can effectively resolve lymphedema in upper and lower extremities because it removes fibrin and improves lymphatic flow."

Examples of proteolytic enzymes for systemic use include old-school pancreatin, serrapeptase, or nattokinase. They also destroy blood clots.

This is huge for many people with lymphedema, and really costs nothing except a few $15 bottles of serrapeptase or even cheaper pancreatin to try.


Systemic enzymes and also chelation are two of the most powerful weapons against modern diseases.
