This brother can swim enough to survive for a little while. But I have never been able to figure out the breathing where I can enjoy it. Otherwise I think I might like it a lot… And I try on occasion to figure it out.
I think plant based is the way to go. That said I am no where close to it. My wife is much closer. She is probably 80% which I would love to achieve.
We have two actually. We use them almost daily. Live off of Ninja products. We use their Air Fryer, Blender and their Coffee maker every day. Love all 3!
My wife too. She never eats red meat but does like white meat chicken/turkey and seafood. Shes probably 90/10 plant based actually. I eat seafood almost daily...I stick with mostly salmon and tuna. (Just watch the portions for mercury reasons.) Chicken once or twice a week and red meat a couple times a month. She is much more on point than me though.
I mean it is and it isn't. Essentially, the top level people are usually qualified and often at least somewhat motivated to do a good job, even if it isn't for the best reasons (there are exceptions like the EPA chief under any Republican administration). For example, if you look at things like the head of the FDA, they have generally been academic doctors from top places, amazingly even under Trump. There are usually questions with how cozy they are with pharma companies, but they generally aren't coming directly out of their board rooms, but rather from academic research centers (which are often funded somewhat by those companies). The career people are bureaucrats, but are often pretty motivated by their topic of interest. For example, I know a few people doing terrific economic research in the Department of Ag. The second and third level of political appointments are where you tend to get the regulatory capture, where people go in with unofficial conflicts of interest. It is an area where campaign finance reform would be very helpful, but no way the current Supreme Court lets that happen.
Fortunately, mine handle it well so far. They are both healthy and one is extremely fit, basketball and weightlifting, and the other is basketball, softball, golf. Basketball and softball 4 out of 5 weeknights. I do get him to eat before and mostly protein after ( can’t pass on those wings after a game)
When teaching my kids how to swim, I started them off with the backstroke, you can perform this type of swimming while your head remains above the water.
I thought I’d gain a lot of weight once I stopped doing IM’s (thanks to a bike wreck during a race. Dog walked in front of me and I completely separated my shoulder) but I’ve stayed the same weight. Almost daily walks and body weight exercise. Eat whatever I want but am generally disciplined there.
Google side stroke. It’s used for long distances and very easy to do. It’s called the life saving stroke.
anything in this link https://support.cleanprogram.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031177711-Approved-Foods-to-Enjoy The website has really good recipes too.
Sounds like our place. Though I do less salmon. Publix salmon has not settled well recently (though I can handle their sushi). I am more Mediterranean but working to be more plant with beans.
I could probably get to a back stroke and breathing once I figure out the core and how to keep the legs up enough. Good idea!
With the the push to plant based foods in the past decade, maybe why we see a rise in adolescent depression and suicide. Meat and mental health: a systematic review of meat abstention and depression, anxiety, and related phenomena - PubMed Conclusion: Studies examining the relation between the consumption or avoidance of meat and psychological health varied substantially in methodologic rigor, validity of interpretation, and confidence in results. The majority of studies, and especially the higher quality studies, showed that those who avoided meat consumption had significantly higher rates or risk of depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors.
the study probably highlighted that those who consumed avoidance “meats” already had preexisting conditions
It was a review of studies that researched the abstention of meat "vegans/vegetarians" not the consumption of avoidance meats. Basically if you don't eat meat you have a higher rate/risk of depression, anxiety etc. Eighteen studies met the inclusion/exclusion criteria; representing 160,257 participants (85,843 females and 73,232 males) with 149,559 meat-consumers and 8584 meat-abstainers (11 to 96 years) from multiple geographic regions. Analysis of methodologic rigor revealed that the studies ranged from low to severe risk of bias with high to very low confidence in results. Eleven of the 18 studies demonstrated that meat-abstention was associated with poorer psychological health, four studies were equivocal, and three showed that meat-abstainers had better outcomes. The most rigorous studies demonstrated that the prevalence or risk of depression and/or anxiety were significantly greater in participants who avoided meat consumption
You shouldn't imply causal results from that study, as their results were explicitly not causal. The causation could easily go the other direction or be a result of some sort of third variable that jointly causes both.
Nice, I just made it as well. I did a 36 hour one and added some beef/lamb bones. I put in Ball jars and freeze for when we get sick or bring to friends when they are sick. This broth was used by a few doctors connected to the Garden of Life and was in the New York Times best seller The Maker's Diet. Doctors were having their patients with Crohn's & colitis to just eat this broth until their symptoms began to wane. It's a gut healer. I have a few friends that swear by it. The Garden of Life's CEO is a Gator (and good friend) and they sold to Nestle about 2 years back for 2.3 billion dollars. They basically started out with a 1 great product called Primal Defense and now have hundreds of top notch whole food products. If you want to fix your gut, the broth and the Primal are a great start.
