Salad is cool. Salad saves time. Salad saves you money. Salad is good for footprint. Ready prepped in the fridge is awesome for health, exec function, good choices & quick meals. Salad is good rebellion, in lots of ways.
Consider just how many nudges you get in shows, on social, endless ads, pushing towards unhealthy, high profit, low nutrition, high cost, highly processed, high environmental impact, food.
Industrially processed pizzas, cereals, and convenience foods are responsible for a host of diseases. Policymakers and doctors need to lead the food fight.
New Yorkers don't know where our nearest automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are, so when someone has a heart attack, more people die. A new City Council bill would change that. Help improve it & get it passed! Submit written testimony by 10am ET, April 2nd.
Not a New Yorker? We need expertise in #health education & #data. Or do 30 minutes of research about AED public data in your area. You don't have to write a lot! A paragraph is fine.
#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Since the #SupremeCourt overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum #Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.
#37c3 is over and now it is probably the right moment to ask how you #health status changed because of travelling to/from the event and/or joining the congress in person. #mask#ffp2#ffp3
Please note, it's not about #COVID only. At my last Congress, I missed 1½ days because of #Congressseuche and this was long before COVID.
I need help with #covid#information that I can use with trying to educate a few friends who I can't be around physically because they are referring to covid as seasonal. I know it's not. Please help me with finding some easy to understand links or graphics that I can send to them so they can learn why it is not like seasonal cold/flu. Search results had too many disinformation links; need help on links & graphics without disinfo.
Today is the final day, the transition out day, of the five day “Longo Inspired Cancer Avoidance Fast” . I didn’t sleep well at all. While I technically got more than seven hours of sleep it was pretty fragmented I’m down a yet another 2.5 pounds. My night time heart rate looked normal as does my heart rate variability and my morning blood pressure. Like the previous days I woke up feeling a bit hung over and dehydrated but once I started having some decaf coffee and water I felt much better. #health#longevity#fasting#cancer#CancerAvoidanceFast
How can we possibly expect folks to understand the emergence of new #COVID variants given most lack a basic understanding of evolution? #science#health
Just made a sort of combo stir-fry/stew that will serve for multiple meals. This is another of those recipes that I improvise from what I have on hand.
Way back when, I wrote a thread on house rabbits, and how they're different because they are prey animals, not predators like cats and dogs. That thread starts here: https://mindly.social/@cazabon/109882459730036423
One thing I didn't mention is that, like many other prey animals, they are extremely good at hiding health problems. You've heard how the jackals will separate the weak or sick member from the herd; prey animals evolve to disguise being sick or weak.
Any one have some suggestions for health/fitness/longevity podcasts of that are interesting and not full of woo woo? Now that I'm in more of a fitness mindset and I've dropped some tech podcasts that I just wasn't enjoying any longer I've been trying to find more high quality fitness podcasts. I'm coming up somewhat empty though. The top results in my podcast app, Downcast, seems to be full of the usual trendy, influencer, pseudo-science laden crap. "Superfood" this and "what 'they' don't want you to know" that. Carnivore diet this, raw food vegan that, and again "the things 'they' don't want you to know" BS again. I lost a few back in my last fitness focus days of 2012-2014 to their parroting of anti-vax nonsense, buying into whacky stuff about magnetic fields, and pushing bizarre unfounded supplementation strategy. A few others seem to have regressed into the above categories since then and others just don't exist any longer. The only ones I have right now in regular rotation is Marathon Training Academy and probably 1/3 the episodes interest me from No Meat Athlete, and Rich Roll. I just add "Docs Who Lift" after seeing one of them on a Youtube video that I thought they did a good job on. Any others you all love? #health#fitness#running#podcasts#MarathonTrainingAcademy
Today is day two of five of the "Longo Inspired Cancer Avoidance Fast" that I've devised. It is the first "real" fast day, IOW nothing more than non-caloric beverages and ideally none with artificial sweeteners. As with yesterday I'm intending to live blog here with the same details being echoed at the below blog post throughout the day. #health#longevity#fasting#cancer#CancerAvoidanceFast Fasting Day 2
Not sure how much of it can be addressed with money, but some of it can. We need to find ways of sustainably funding the existing fediverse, and not just that, all the innovations we need and want in the future. Donations isn’t it. Heroic efforts by individuals who then burn out isn’t it either. Constructive suggestions?
Today is day four of five of the "Longo Inspired Cancer Avoidance Fast" that I've devised. It is the third and final "real" fast day, IOW nothing more than non-caloric beverages and ideally none with artificial sweeteners. I definitely woke up feeling more brain fog than yesterday and this time I got plenty of sleep. I definitely felt more dehydrated when I woke up too. No headaches or anything like that though. And as I’m sipping my morning cup of coffee I’m feeling less of both. I’m down a bit over another 2.5 pounds. My night time heart rate looked normal as does my heart rate variability. Even though it hasn’t been awful I’m glad today is the last “real” day of fasting too and tomorrow is a transition day. #health#longevity#fasting#cancer#CancerAvoidanceFast Fasting Day 4
