do you mean headaches? Those can be caused by a variety of things, what I've found in my practice among the most common causes are: stress, caffeine, dehydration and nutritional deficiencies (this is the biggest one). Also if you have a history of using a lot of drugs, then that may be a cause of headaches as your liver could still be struggling to detoxify all that stuff. It depends on what causes the pain: If it is inflammation, than some of the natural eicosanoid blockers are: turmeric, ginger, Boswellia, white willow bark of frankincense If the pain is caused by muscular tension you may look into magnesium glycinate supplementation, start with 200mg per day and up it to 400mg max. If you get a bit light-headed, reduce the dose. But these may only be managing the symptoms and the cause may be somewhere else Other than that look into: being well hydrated, reducing your stress, eating enough, avoiding artificial sweeteners, avoiding chemicals in food, reducing stimulants, being more active

yes with these jugs you have to filter around 2-3 litres before the sediment disappears. They are working on carbon binding base. All heavy metals you will find in water have high binding affinity to activated carbon (at least that's how I understand it but maybe everything I just said is nonsense) but it can get saturated in few weeks hence the need for changing.

Only if you do it wrong, if you enter any fertility or IVF clinic, 90% of those women won't be vegans. Veganism can be done beautifully where the person thrives on all levels but also horribly which is, I suppose, what the article is referring to. Just to break their points down: folic acid is EXTREMELY easy to get on plant based diet and most vegans know they need to supplement B12. B12 and folic acid deficiency are very prevalent in non-vegans even those consuming lots of meat. I do agree that many vegans ignore their Omega 3 requirements and this can be an issue so algal oil is an easy way around it.

Is that a hunting rifle?

@Preety_India I agree, jugs are not perfect but they are a good transition step when RO or other systemic filtration is not an option. In the ideal world you'd heat up your water with your own solar panels and that water would be filtered in both shower and kitchen but well....

@Strangeloop I assume as a taxi driver you spend a lot of time sitting. This will sap so much of your physical and mental energy. I was researching some consequences of prolonged sitting not long ago and it goes way beyond just back pain and obesity, the brain of sedentary person is becoming more like that of a depressed person. Definitely find opportunities to get out and do 10 burpees every time you don't have a client...or something of that sort Also check your vitamin D levels.

Something like this is a good start. It is not as effective as RO but if you are short on budget, this will do for the largest molecules like copper & lead which are the biggest problems in Europe in terms of contamination. Since we don't use glycophosphates as much, water in Europe is generally cleaner and also fluoride-free. What this won't do is filter microplastics, at least it has not been claimed by the manufacturer but I am not convinced that RO does either. Anyway, long message-short. if you are right on budget, start with a filtration jug and make sure to change filters on monthly basis, you can taste the difference.

Moving to health subforum. Seems like this topic is heading towards similar fate as the other ones.

you must be fun to be around

DEAR LORD ! She is absolutely stunning!!! .. Reminds of Joanna Jinton a bit.

@andyjohnsonman I think this is a good number to be at. You've just barely gone over the upper threshold. Basically, there is no benefit of being over 99, this is a cutoff point after which the protective effect of vitamin D from overall mortality and disease does not get any better. Still, better to be at the higher ends than the lower ends. I'd say take a month off supplements and vitamin D rich foods, let the values drop to low 90s and then maintain it with 1000 IUs till summer. Get retested in November or December again.

Can be temporary sensitivity caused by stress or short term spike of certain hormones if it lasts over 3 days probably good to get it checked

@ertopolice in addition to the lifestyle changes ,you could experiment with a combination of agnus castus (progesterone balance) black cohosh (LH/FSH balance) cinnamon (blood sugar balancer) and maybe something like nettle root (for excess androgens) But i am not familiar with doses so follow that on the bottle and definitely start with lifestyle and diet choices ?. Also if you are on ocp i wouldn't use those herbs. Good luck!

bad bad bad bad !! Talcum powder is a carcinogen. Johnson & Johnson had to pay few billions to women around the world for having their product linked to ovarian cancer. Maybe you don't have ovaries as a guy but I wouldn't touch this stuff...ever. The solution is not to use deodorants but to adjust your skin microbiome. Get a natural essential oil soap without chemicals and only use that to wash your armpits, you need to adjust your microbiome in this region and after some time the nasty smell will be practical gone. The more you use deodorants the worse it is because they are like antibiotics for your skin microflora. And if you afterwards still need to use some, buy a rock salt or something of that sort.

a little @ertopolice inositol is actually really good for PCOS. There are two types. Myo-Inositol and chiro-inositol. So get the one that is cheaper as there isn't really much difference in efficacy at least from what I've read. Other things you may try with PCOS: * Regular exercise to improve your insulin sensitivity and blood sugar (This is absolutely key in PCOS) especially strength bearing and a lot of lower body stuff like biking, running, squats, etc * do not skip meals, do not follow fad diets and do not intermittent fast. Definitely start your day with good breakfast * do your best to eat a LOT of fibre - that means a lot of vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains * add brassica vegetables (cruciferous vegetables) they are exceptional to help you detoxify excess oestrogens * flax seeds may be helpful as well, lignans have great phytoestrogenic effect * if you have digestive problems definitely find someone to help you fix those as that could be a big factor here * get your diet as close to 100% plant-based as possible * remove as many oils as possible (cold pressed olive oil is fine) and as much sugar (fruits are fine) as possible * caffeine can also be problematic. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to discuss. @soos_mite_ah may be able to share a bit more, she has a lot of post on this, check out her journal.

That would depend on your overall health but bear in mind that those tests are not free so the doctor won't request anything unless you have specific symptoms

Take care Hopefully see you around later this year.

This is a great info! Basically you want to hit 3 levels of Omega 3 Family. From the top-to-bottom these are: 1. ALA/Alpha-Linolenic Acid (not to be confused with Alpha-Lipoic Acid, an endogenous antioxidant) You can find ALA in flax-seeds, lineseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, lineseed oil and walnuts. Generally, ALA is easy to get just add 2tbsp of ground flax seeds to your breakfast every day. If you grind them in advance, store them in freezer, up to 3 months 2. EPA / Eicosapentaenoic Acid - Slightly harder to get on a vegan diet. You can find it in linseed oil and if you consume enough ALA sources and are otherwise healthy and have great insulin sensitivity you can convert that ALA to enough EPA. 3. DHA/Docosahexaenoic Acid - This is the hardest to get if you are vegan and want to avoid supplements. There are no natural vegan sources of DHA. Algae Supplements are the only way to get this or if you consume sufficient amounts of cold-pressed lineseed oil maybe.....maybe. What harms conversion from ALA to EPA and DHA gender (males convert around 8% while women up to 20%) sugar alcohol zinc, B-vitamin and magnesium deficiency inflammation stress certain diseases excess Omega 6s in the diet other things (can't think of anything else from the top of my head) genetic polymorphisms of certain genes such as FAD or DI5D (and other)

@fridjonk you are jogging in world's cleanest environment bro, you are not entitled to comment ?

If jogging is not an option, buy a skipping rope, a pair of 1kg dumbbells and TRX and you don't need a gym. Then perform 60 minute workout divided into 10 min warmup 10 minute rope skipping 20 minute shadow boxing 20 minute TRX training You can find videos on all on Youtube Good luck!

What is the point of this thread? What are you not addressing @Ibgdrgnxxv ? Please try to raise higher-quality topics or at least be more specific in your statements so that they can be addressed.

Not in those amounts. I assume that's a soy protein powder which is not the best thing in the world (tofu is preferable) but I wouldn't worry about it. If you ate a bunch of raw beans, you could end up with extremely severe lectin poisoning due to high PHA content, I totally agree with the harmful effect of those in that sense. But this is well-known information and no company will sell you product that contains raw legumes. I assume these in the pasta have been boiled, dried, ground & powdered by which time 99.99% of the PHA is gone. For example, it takes only about 10 minutes of cooking to destroy the majority of the PHA in kidney beans. And then if all of that failed, I assume you will cook them for at least another 10 minutes, maybe even more as non-wheat pasta generally requires more time. SO we are looking at 5+ stages of processing. Yah Steven Gundry's production is a joke, he vilifies most of the plant food and promotes a palaeolithic diet while we, to this day, have no data that paleo diets are safe in the long term. If legumes were toxic and killing people we would have known that long ago considering that majority of Indians survive on legumes and have survived for probably a couple thousand years. A large portion of south-Americans are living on them and I know in Eastern Europe certain strains of legumes have been grown for at least half a millennia because it has been the protein source of the poor. These antinutrients are a modern invention to sell you garbage supplements that "protect you" from them. It is based on very little scientific evidence. I took a deeper dive some time ago, into things like Oxalates, lectins, phytates, goitrogens, lignans, phytoestrogens etc and to this day am to find one that is toxic for humans in rational amounts.

@mmKay haha true! There is a brand here called Very Lazy selling prechopped garlic, ginger and onions in jars. They seem to be doing well.

@fridjonk Sweet! Explore are also in UK, good brand with a great variety of wholegrain pasta. About time we stop seeing only trashy white pastas on the market My only complaint is that they can be expensive as f in some places
