No-Brainer Supplements

Resveratrol, sulforaphane, turmeric, milk thistle, garlic, magnesium, chlorella, glutathione.

Resveratrol because of its intense antioxidants and because it is linked to longevity — a longer life span, probably because of the antioxidants.

Sulforaphane because of its proven ability to fight cancer cells. The pharmaceutical industry has poured billions into the study of sulforaphane for this very reason.

Turmeric because of its proven ability to suppress chronic inflammation, which is so common.

Milk thistle because of its proven benefit to promote the health of the liver. You are only as healthy as your liver.

Garlic because of its proven antiviral impact.

Magnesium because of its proven ability to create calmness — a natural sedative.

Chlorella because of its unique mineral content from the sea.

Glutathione is the body’s main antioxidant — the body produces its own glutathione to suppress oxidative stress, but you can also buy it as a supplement in order to boost this defense against cancer and inflammation.

For those people who say that supplements are useless, I say nonsense.

Food Choices

People don’t realize how decisive food is in terms of promoting either stellar health or horrible disease.

If you are very selective in giving your body truly superior nutrition, chances are that you will experience great health, high energy, and a long life.

On the other hand, if you have a diet with poor nutrition, particularly if your diet includes a high percentage of processed foods with all their crazy ingredients that the body doesn’t know how to digest and many of which are carcinogenic, chances are you are opening the door to a wide spectrum of diseases and a much shorter life span.

All this because of your food choices. So take food choices more seriously. They matter.

Survival

Dealing With Insanity

If you dig deep enough into the current circumstances of the world you are living in, chances are pretty good that it will appear to be rampant insanity.

So the question becomes, how does one keep one’s balance under these conditions? That’s where a philosophy like Stoicism provides it value.

Survival

Would the human race survive a nuclear war? Probably. But it would be another very dark ages, with a lot of starvation.

The ones who would survive would be primitive cultures used to surviving off the land. But more modern types, dependent on electricity, who survived the radiation, would all perish, probably from starvation.

Culpable

Repulsive

When you eat something you crave the taste of, the first bites are the most delicious, but if you eat a lot of it, your taste for is diminishes with each bite, to the point where it actually becomes distasteful. I’m curious to know how this actually works? Can’t seem to find an explanation for it. How is it that your taste buds for what is a delicious food turn against it? Definitely happens. Eat enough chocolate at one sitting and it will become almost repulsive to the point you can’t eat another bite.

Food, Not an Enemy

Don’t

Don’t forget how to smile.

Temporary

Food, Not an Enemy

When you know how to eat for nutrition, food is an ally, not an enemy.

Fat Complexity

Culpable

The ones who paint Trump as another Hitler-like dictator are as culpable of these assassination attempts as the ones who pull the trigger. Gutter politics.

Harris

Temporary

How temporary everything is! You realize this when you are old. When you are in a particular circumstance in life, you think it is more or less permanent, but it never is. Never.

Which?

Fat Complexity

There are certain types of saturated fat that are harmful, because they reduce the LDL receptors on the liver, and so cause an increase in blood cholesterol because the HDL returning LDL to the liver to be disposed of can’t get in. This causes a buildup of blood cholesterol in the blood vessels.

On the other hand, there are certain types of saturated fat — like that found in dark chocolate — that don’t have this effect, and so do not pose a threat to promoting clogged arteries.

Sorry, but nutrition is complicated.
