My dog will live forever!….her breath will continue to stink but she’ll live forever! 😳

dr green thumb

When you have antibiotic your healthy bacteria are killed and takes up 3 to 6 months using fecal transplant to restore beneficial bacteria. This study shows that a person's own gut in fecal mattercan be frozen to restore patients healthy gut eco system. Jj

BarbelHunter

Valid research finding, despite strong RCT’s. But for ease, and “less grossness” (😂), not that I mind grossness if necessary.
Why not supplement with pre&pro-biotics and increase fibre for increased gastro motility?

Maybe we re-live until we don’t make the same mistakes and transcend to a more enlightened level of being/energy?

i wonder though, will i ever be again? what was all this for? will i repeat this forever like groundhogday? was all this and accident? like was i the quick sperm?

windiest

I think we've all had a go at being dead, pre being born. Can't recall much from then so reckon best I can hope for is to be food for worms.

we will all die someday

someday is not a fixed number and has been extended over the course of human knowledge.

Yes, and a necessary part of the course/journey/learning?

any fasting biggaz out there?

i've started to dabble with holding out to dinner. it has been positive overall, there's surely a high, maybe also a little anger too though. anyone else trying this?

NinaNugget

I love fasting! Clear my head better than any meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️
Lately I’ve been doing OMAD (One Mea a Day) and it’s amazing, such a hassle free way of living plus it makes easier to choose something healthy to eat.

The only thing that makes me go OUT OF CONTROL is the munchies 🥴 I would eat the legs of the chairs if i could ha

greencigar

I've replaced most munchies with strawberries. Great results. Exceptionally clean teeth too!

HashGuru

Good work

illirum

this is my second year on a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. fantastic results!

Bigbum

We need before and after pictures;)

ganjaflava

Did a ten day fast with only water few months ago..Had the occasional bit of salt and lemon to suppress appetite. Cleared pimples ive had for years, black marks on my skin. Still smoked weed during it..called it my "weed and water" fast
but wow was an amazing experience days 2-3 are the hardest, after that u get a natural body high and u feel intermittent bursts of energy which u should use to do light exercise....was losing over 0.8kg a day..would defo recommend!!
Dr Berg on youtube for more info helped me alot!

PISTACH 9.6/10

It is a very amazing experience to fast. I’ve tried it a few times. Disciplines the mind

hippy50s

done this for years found it a bit harder latley though. id wake up 8am and wouldnt eat till 4pm to 7pm never felt hungry to a point ide suffer so didnt have any issue doing it. since covid i have been eating earllyer due to feeling starved by 1pm will i get back to old self probabby not since having covid twice now eating in general is not what it used to be like taste and texture not the same anymore.

chefboyardee

I've been on and off 17/7 for the last year and I feel I reached a plateau.. I wonder if I should try OMAD or one day on, one day off.. Any one have any tips on how to not stuff your face once your fasting time is up?!

since71

You wind up saving a lot of weed I find :)

ike

i actually use the weed (sativa) to suppress appetite

illirum

ha! in my case it is not so. my metabolism went up. and I can now drink and smoke more than before ;) with much less bad side-effects

HBiz

Yeah, I do it once a year. Did do it for detox and lose some weight but recently it's been a more spiritual experience.

First few days or week are always tough. No caffeine, nicotine or cannabis makes me cranky as f......

greencigar

I generally don't eat until about 5pm. Still overweight due to munchies. But have halved sugar and doubled cardio and weights with really impressive results.

LEGACYUKDANK 9.7/10

Just starting Out my own fast, just water only for the last 48 hours.

Going to try it once a week (for the health benefits)

No bad side affects so far, just not able to eat socially can be a downer when your on it.

ike

48 is right when it starts feeling a wee bit psycho. like you're going to eat a side of beef or nothing ever again.

that said i find the hardest part is compatibility with others and meal times

chefboyardee

I agree, a big portion of connections with other people is around dinner time. Hard to miss.

The Kurgan

How are you getting on? I’ve been intermittent fasting (16:8) for a while, always tempted to do a 48 or 72 hour fast, so like a full body reset

ganjaflava

Do it bro.. its amazing..but must say first 72 hours are usually the hardest..after that your body starts using its own fat reserves more efficiently.. so would suggest 7-10 days if u can.. everyday after the 3rd ull see benefits and increased energy levels..

The Kurgan

Wow! That’s a long one haha Do you experience much muscle wastage in that time? Burning a bit of fat is never a bad thing though haha

LEGACYUKDANK 9.7/10

I stopped for now, but honestly I felt much more healthy when I was doing the fast and need to jump back on or at least reset my diet yet again… too many Greg’s tuna baguettes at 10 am during the week plus weekend take away has ruin my diet.

Too much processed foods.

The fast is an easy way to reset body and diet and just great for the mental.

going to go for a half day fast on Monday and steadily creep up to a 48/72 hour fast over the next couple weeks

The Kurgan

yeah that’s the downfall of our diets these days, everything is just so easy to get our hands on. Access to food constantly, I always have a bit of a relapse at weekends haha deadly case of the munchies 😂 I will most definitely do a 48 hour one soon I think, I seem to get on quite well with 16:8 and like you said you feel healthier

Aging is Reversible

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/aging-is-reversible-at-least-in-human-cells-and-live-mice/

Epigenetic reprogramming is proving to be the most fundamental aging switch around.

spiceX1

Also some other noteworthy switches here:

He says they currently think the brain’s hypothalamus—known as the seat of control for hormones, body temperature, mood, hunger and circadian rhythms—may also act as a regulator of aging.

Other approaches that have been discovered to have anti-aging benefits in animals include calorie restriction, the drug rapamycin and parabiosis—the practice of giving old mice a blood supply from younger ones. The fact that these diverse strategies all seem to work suggests there may be more than one way to age, and that multiple complementary therapies may be needed to significantly extend longevity,

UKCannaFarm 9.6/10

'Parabiosis' - also known as vampire facials in Hollywood. Yes that's right, Kim Kardashian has aborted fetus blood rubbed on her face. This is common practice. Loreal also a whole range of more expensive products with this in it. Also 'Blood boys' are a profession. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down as usually the source of this blood is disturbing.

24601

yes very creepy when money is traded for life itself but it seems an ethical market is possible as healthy people have a surplus and all the means for extraction and testing are really well established.

Unsubordinate

Andrenachrome?

A vampire facial is carried out using a person's own plasma that's separated in a centrifuge from their extracted blood

Also did you know that you can slow down your biological aging by eating right, exercising right and your mindset plus environment by up to 3 times

Health hacks

So tell me people, what little tips have you all picked up along the way?!
For instance, I swear by using apple cider vinegar for basically everything? Surely I'm not the only one.... One shot every morning to start my day why not!

MycoMattic 9.8/10

Go for a walk somewhere peaceful every day.

Not texting, nor gramming, or catching up with phonecalls.

Give your brain back the space and peace that the early 21st century took away, even if just for 20 minutes.

Benidorm

Drink a lot of water. It's crazy how little people drink. I go through 2 L before noon (you're almost always dehydrated after sleep - drinking coffee/tea dehydrate you even more). Then another 2-3 L for the rest of the day.
Besides occasional coffee in the morning (once or twice a week) I don't drink anything besides water.
I can't see a difference in my own health anymore (because I live like that for over 5 years now), but when I see my old pictures and how my skin looked like when I was constantly dehydrated - the change is huge. 14 years of acne went away without drugs or expensive creams. Only cream I use now is "fifty:50" (50% liquid paraffin, 50% white soft paraffin). So much money and stress saved.

Remember - skin is the largest organ in the body, but we tend to forget about it. It's the first and largest barrier against toxicity of your environment and keeping it in 'good shape' is very important for overall health (not only for cosmetic reasons).

afc89green

Agreed on this completely. I drink so much water but I'd add it shouldn't be tap water. Nothing in life is free not even water

Benidorm

Good quality tap water is a start and better choice than plastic bottled water.

For filtering I would suggest reverse osmosis filter (just for drinking water, don't install it for your boiler). Brita filters, if properly maintained, are good start as well.

afc89green

I would love a reverse osmosis filter but to pricey for me at the moment so highland spring it is.

PISTACH 9.6/10

Agreed. Water is powerful. Stay hydrated biggaz <3

5chan

and an extra glass for every joint

coldspurs

tea over coffee

bevbevan1

Totally agree we should all drink more and think about what we’re putting in our bodies but tea and coffee have been proven to be hydrating and found towards liquid intake cudnt not defend my coffee sorry :)

afc89green

I do love both tea and coffee as well, the problem is most people put milk and sugar which then probably ruins it

pollypuff20

Despite watering it right down, ACV gives me gut ache. Shame as there are so many potential benefits and for people who need help balancing their blood sugar levels it’s fantastic.....

afc89green

Yeah that's a shame for you but you should try it on your skin it works wonders also

cryonics requires religion

cryonics is a fragile storage strategy: a constant fresh supply of liquid nitrogen and electricity is required for centuries.

how can a profit making entity be expected to align with the interests of a bunch of corpses that appear as a liability on their balance sheet?

you can try to develop incentives but economics change over time, even environmental conditions do; to say nothing of technology.

if a non profit got this all right somehow how could they reliably remain competent over a period like this? very few entities of any kind survive this long.

what's needed is a compact between generations, like that which exists in families. in a decentralized body preservation scheme each family can store it's own and we have our custodial solution.

but technology cycles never remain in decentralized, fragmented phases for long. centralization is inevitable in any system just as another wave of de-consolidation follows that.

something meta to families is required. what we call religious organizations have always fitted this bill: a common belief shared horizontally across living people as well as vertically amongst the dead and unborn.
