    Health Problems

    I've used probiotic vsl3 twice, once after a colonoscopy and once after my yearlyish food intoxication, it's surprisingly good. But certainly not something I'd used in normal situations (2/3 fermented food do the trick).

    No I'm talking about intra cellular melatonin. Melanin is another mecanism through which your skin will adapt to sun exposure. Plenty of shit happening when you expose yourself properly to the sun, all year round, multiples times a day, that no pill will fully compensate. Vit D supplement is...

    Or just walk or do some gardening or whatever but expose yourself to the sun more. Physical activities and the sun will both boost testosterone. That being said, it's next to impossible for most people to get enough sun exposure, a comparable amount to what pre-industrial folks had, so vitD is...

    Life extension- let’s play EQ1 and keep socking into 2100

    I drink mostly coffee, sometimes I'll go a few months without coffee, sometimes I'll go green tea. Pretty sure green tea is a bit better for the health, and I do find myself having more energy when drinking green tea. But I don't like tea nearly as much as coffee... Pretty much every single...

    It's nice, and definitely a lot better than sitting all day long (basicaly, sitting 8+ hours a day is as bad for your health as smoking... Still, it's even better if you can manage to walk 1 hour a day outdoor in the wild, to get the various other benefit associated to it.

    Well this thread is about living to 100, it seems, you aren't likely to achieve that by eating frozen pizza and trying to compensate with pills. It does take some effort though, you're right. While 100 years ago it would have been difficult to buy shitty food and to not get the proper amount of...

    Taking a pill of caffeine will increase your cortisol level. Green tea is a proven adaptogen, lowering cortisol level. It's precisely what I'm talking about, by trying to pick and choose nutriments from whole food you usually end up in a bad place. Caffeine is bad, ecgc is bad. But packed in...

    I meant 3,4 and 5 sorry Well even 2, it depends on what you mean by probiotic, if it's fermented food sure, a supplement, why? Supplement can be nice here and there, but taking a dozens pills daily, I doubt it's going to do anywhere near as good as adapting your food. It's quite documented that...

    I would never do 2,3 and 4 daily. Either take the whole damn green tea, or don't. That's a kind of retarded 'hack' which there is no proof it's better than just green tea, which is known to be great. Trying to avoid a bit of theine and ending up taking a supplement which can be harmful..

    Spring 2024 Anime Thread

    Spice and Wolf is one of the few anime i've watched more than once. This new one doesn't seem very different from the first one, which isn't necessarily bad. The OP isn't nearly as good as the original though.

    Maybe add some k2? Should help calcium going to the right place: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4566462/ With a gallblader removed, it's rather easy to be déficient in k2.

    I'm on board with the.people saying she isn't withholding but faking insanely high mana. After all, she wasn't a match for the Demon, she cannot be significantly more powerful than Frieren, she's even possibly weaker in combat.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Like every single study showing that "meat is bad", the most likely reason that Buddhist live longer (do they? can't find for sure) is that they eat less calories (I've seen 150 to 300 less calories per day). But even then, living a bit longer isn't such a great thing if you're frail, the older...
