NO! This is terrible science reporting! The study doesn't say it MAKES you sad, the report said it's ASSOCIATED with being sad. There was NO causation in this study. It could just as easily be that sadness leads to eating processed food, which seems at least as likely as the other way around. And it could equally as likely be that some 3rd factor is what's causing both the junk food eating and the sadness.
OP if you care at all about being honest and not spreading misinformation then you should delete your blog post and this lemmy post.
Your body gets stronger during the recovery period AFTER exercise, not during the exercise (technically). During recovery your body builds back a little stronger than before the exercise so that you’re more capable of handling the same effort next time. After your body has had time to recover, you start detraining slowly.
Keeping your body in a more consistent state of recovery (within reason, you don’t want to overdo it of course) is more beneficial than allowing your body time to fully recover and then slide back a bit before your next effort. So moderate exercise more regularly can be said to be more beneficial because you have just enough time to recover with minimal backsliding.
Note: I’ve simplified and left a LOT of science out of this explanation in the interest of brevity. Please don’t come for me. I’m just a guy who likes to exercise and learn about exercise.
Evolutionarily, it makes sense if you’re pushing a muscle to 100% exertion, even for only a few seconds a week.
Otherwise, animals would have to spend a large amount of energy to maintain or increase muscle mass, which is wasteful and inefficient — the species who needed more energy to maintain muscles are likely extinct or limited in number.
There's another element to this. Muscle tissue is metabolically expensive, so it's beneficial for an organism to limit muscle mass to only as much as it needs to succeed, thus reducing how much food is necessary. There's actually a protein, myostatin, that directly works to inhibit muscle growth. Some specific breeds of cow lack this; search up Belgian Blue cattle for a look.
Yes. The key difference is the near 100% exertion. If the muscles are used to they’re maximum on a regular basis, the body will consider them necessary for survival.
If you suddenly dropped the weight by 20%, so that you exert those muscles less, you would expect them to gradually weaken by a similar margin over time; eventually, to the point that lifting the 80% weight would require near 100% exertion.
All of these questions are very relevant. And I even tried to deal with them in my thesis. It took me some time to do it. And in order to complete it, I asked a literature review helper to do a review for me. And I got a good paper.
Massive amounts of meat are produced globally. It’s contributing to climate change and will be a significant piece of the puzzle that destroys the human species. So, don’t let that go to waste. Eat up! We’re all dead in a few years anyway.
I was raised vegetarian, and as such it was normal to me and my brother. My mom did it for environmental reason because she is fucking awesome and I have decided to stay vegetarian as an adult.
It was around 10 when I started encountering this oddness. I would be at a friend’s house, they would offer to give me food, I would say I’m vegetarian, and they would act like I was an alien or make comments about my parents being abusive to me. And then as I got older I got all these comments about me not being a man because I don’t eat meat.
For fucks sake, being a man doesn’t mean conformity. As far as I can understand, it means being brave enough to not give in to stupid gender norms and to find out who you are for yourself.
Of course the people who made the most asshole type comments were always right-wingers, too. What a surprise!
Man, I love Lemmy so much, just look at the comments, this will be the total opossite in the alien site, meta site or bird site, for sure. Feels good man 😊
I grew up watching ‘The Rockford Files.’ Great show if you’ve never seen it. The star was James Garner, who later became the spokesman for the beef ranchers’ association. He gave up that job after he had to get a quadruple bypass.
