If your body were a car...
If your body were aĀ carā¦
Imagine that your body is a car, with a powerful V8 engine. It is fully optimised to run on diesel fuel and has a large capacity tank, however, for diesel only. But, unlike a car, it can adapt to run on different fuels, for some time. For example, most people eat carbohydrates that the body converts them to glucose in order to utilise as fuel. Glucose is a very explosive fuel and can be likenedā¦

You can't detox by adding more toxins
You canāt detox by adding moreĀ toxins
The popular saying āfight fire with fireā does not apply here. All ailments are caused by toxicity. Toxins are everywhere and as they accumulate, the body is trying to get rid of them. Unfortunately, the process of cleansing is not pleasant and we usually call them some disease. For example, body expels some toxins through the mucous tissue and doing so creates mucus. To speed up the process,ā¦

Does dehydration cause headaches?
Does dehydration causeĀ headaches?
Yes, and, no. Or, should I say, indirectly it does. Let me explain. The brain itself doe not feel the pain. Itās usually the sinuses, or meninges. When the meninges, which is the membrane around the brain, inflames or swells up, it presses on the nerves around and causes a pain sensation. But why does it swell up? Thatās a good question. Because of chronic dehydration. The body tries to undoā¦

ā¦ or even 3 times, we would not have survived as species. Just imagine, youāre on a hunt, tracking a deer through a forest for the third day in a row without a single meal. Maybe you had some jerky with you, but thatās long gone. Itās winter, snow all around, at least you can melt some in your mouth when thirsty. But itās freezing, and going is tough through the deep snow. You have family backā¦

Big muscles are not just for the looks
Big muscles are not just for theĀ looks
Well, looks are important, especially if youāre over 50 and donāt want to look like a statistic š Also, youāre less likely to be picked on by bullies if you look muscular.
Of course, there are other benefits, like functional strength which can help with independence and mobility. Muscles can also be thought of as storage of energy. However, hereās a kicker ā muscles have now been linked to aā¦

Sardines, sardines... why I like sardines
Sardines, sardinesā¦ why I likeĀ sardines
For me, sardines are keto food. They are full of protein and, if you like them in oil, full of fat. In other words, pure goodness š
However, I want to point something entirely different in this article. Something more to do with the current pandemic and itās side effects. No, not the fact that sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial in fighting inflammation.
Also, not theā¦

Stay safe
Iāve been a bit slack lately and havenāt written anything in over a year. I have thought about writing and have had many ideas, however, Iāve re-discovered Sid Meiers Civilizationand thatās been taking up most of my time. Iāve been going to the gym, though, just not writing. Now, during the virus outbreak, and staying home, Iām playing even more. Gyms are closed but I have some basic equipment inā¦

Make it count
Every time Iām in the gym I see dead people š Or, zombies š
What I mean is people who come in for the sake of coming in. They sit there on the stationary bike moving their legs with with an enthusiasm of a fly covered in molasses while checking Facebook on the phoneā¦ Itās like they think that just turning up to the gym will make a difference. Maybe it just gives them a warm feeling in theirā¦

How safe is fluoride?
How safe isĀ fluoride?
A controversy about it has been raging even since fluorideās been being added to the drinking water. And toothpaste, and other dental products.
For generations we have been told how good this poison is for our teeth. Well, not everyone agrees with this narrative.
And now we have the authorities (CDC) slowly backing outof what they were saying for such a long time. This article basically says thatā¦

First (recorded) case of Vegan Rage?
First (recorded) case of VeganĀ Rage?
Warning ā this may upset some people!
Well, it can be thought of this wayā¦ The story of Cain and Abel, as told in Genesis book of the Bible, tells us that Cain killed Abel out of jealousy due to Lord rejecting his offering of fruits of the land while accepting Abelās offering of meat. So the Lord punished him by banishment.
The point Iām trying to make, is that if God preferred meat over plantā¦

Surprise! Cows live on a high-fatĀ dietā¦
This is something that blew mind! I have always been under the impression that herbivores, like cows, would derive their energy from carbohydrates. After all, grass is a carb, right? Well, itās mostly cellulose and is indigestible by humans. Maybe good as fiber.
While I was aware that their digestive systems are different from carnivoresā ones, I thought that due to different enzymes/microbesā¦

One year with no carbs - my personal journey
One year with no carbs ā my personalĀ journey
Iāve now hit 12 months into this experiment of living without carbs. Well, almost without carbs as it is very hard to cut them out completely. I still allow myself some minimal amounts once or twice a week. For example, a glass of wine with lunch on Thursdays since itās a company lunch and I might have some rice on other occasions. Nevertheless, the amounts are minimal when compared withā¦

Does a keto diet work?
Does a keto dietĀ work?
Again, there seems to be all-out media attack on a diet that people lived on before the advent of farming. Farming is generally accepted to be about 10,000 years old. Humanity, on the other hand, at least 300,000 depending on your sources. So, if the keto diet is so dangerous and shortens your lifespan, it must be a bloody miracle that we even survived for 290,000 years to invent farming. All theā¦

It would be logical to take A and thoroughly investigate it since it looks like a culprit. But that is not what is happening in the scientific world. Take for example this latest news article linking obesity to Alzheimerās.

Are wearables useful?
That depends for who ā user, or the manufacturer (or associated owner/marketer/distributor etc).
There are many variants of these devices on the market, from strap-ons to the more popular watches. There is no doubt that they offer a number of conveniences to the users, like showing notifications, location services, music playing and even making calls. All these, plus a range of others, from aā¦

Scare tactics?
The popularity of low and no carbs diets has really shot up lately. The reason behind it is that they work. The results can really be seen almost immediately. From my personal experience, I canāt say anything bad about ditching carbs. I have more energy and itās constant ā no more ups and downs during the day. Furthermore, it does not matter how much sleep I got the night before, I function theā¦
