  1. cmon man, you cant have possibly said that
  2. Steaming is probably a bit better than cooking because you lose less vitamin C. Kale is quite rich in C. Spinach has a lot of oxalic acid that some people are very sensitive to and it may contribute to oxalate stones in kidneys and deposition of uric acid in gout. So don't go too crazy on spinach but kale should be fine at any amounts.
  3. Actually the podcast needs people like Leo to start lifting the Orange veil. Perhaps couple hundred people will be swayed and few of them turned into full time actualizers. This world needs more conscious humans
  4. This needs to be addressed first. The need to be busy all the time is increasing your cortisol, reducing your melatonin and killing your sleep. Few tips that may help you out Read "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker to understand the horrific consequences of not getting enough sleep. Start going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Aim for solid 8 hours. (ideally 8.5) Quit all electronic devices 90 minutes prior to your bed time. Blue light from these blocks secretion of melatonin drastically and prolongs time required to get into REM sleep Dim all lights as much as possible 60 minutes prior to your bed time. Only keep enough light to avoid bumping into object. Ideally light a candle in your room instead of using lamp. Artificial light blocks secretion of melatonin just as blue light from electronics. Consider purchasing blue light blocking glasses and start wearing them around 2 hours prior to your bed time. Do not exercise 2 hours prior to your bed time Do not go to bed neither hungry nor full..something in between. Have a few pistachios before your bed time, they contains highest known amount of natural melatonin. Remove any clock visible from bed that will induce "sleeplessness anxiety" If you can't fall asleep, get up and do a very light relaxing activity such as yoga or meditation. (consider doing these prior to bed time ideally) Make sure your room is as close to 100% dark as possible, all lights that can go, have to go. Good luck EDIT try staying away from caffeine after 2pm if possible avoid alcohol consumption altogether. It is a sedative preventing your body from entering REM sleep.
  5. In order to appreciate joy, you have to experience sadness. In order to be able to cry, you would have to know what happiness feels like. Life is a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs. These are natural cycles in everybody's lifes and emotions are what differentiates living from existing. All the words such as: sad, happy, afraid, nervous, tense..etc are just projection of human mind to judge individual stages of the emotional cycle but in the essence all of this is just different chemical signalling. None of it is bad or good and by acknowledging whatever you feel without sticking a label on it, you will come to appreciate your body for sending you these signals. Thank your intuition for its willingness to communicate with you in this way. Learn to embrace the emotion, feel it with your entire body and then let it go so that new emotions can appear. Never run away from your emotion, never try to hide them, cover them with physical stimulation or enhancing substance and you will be able to enjoy everything this short but plentiful live on this planet has to offer.
  6. @MikeB oh Yes!! I've been meaning to read that one for ages. Thanks for the reminder !! @Marc Schinkel love this devilish idea
  7. make sure you don't end up with appendicitis like Vegetable Police upon breaking fast with raw eggs
  8. @Shin haha you are right, I didnt even realise that . As much as I think Charlotte is really nice girl, I have been in happy relationship for past 8 years so no intentions here, don't worry mate, no need to get all fussy.
  9. @akilaneck what does "fitness life" mean for you?
  10. @Charlotte nice! Wondering if you feel any changes from it. I recommended it to a classmate of mine who told me she had less menstrual pain in her next cycle. An (anecdotal) warning though: in one of his educational videos Dr Morse mentioned that some ladies actually got pregnant with this over taking OCPs ..hard to say if thats truth . Also most of all, depends on your current relationship status I guess
  11. @Marc Schinkel good idea! I might do that sometimes thanks for sharing. wait, even with books you have already finished? @Joseph Maynor thanks, on the to-read list it goes!
  12. @RichardY @Hellspeed @Shiva @iTommy @Karla @Waves @Anton Rogachevski @Sahil Pandit thanks a lot for all your input guys. Lots of really cool advice. @Arman for me the primary reason to try audiobook is that I just can't find enough time to sit and read the usual way as I'd like to. Perhaps my time management is just shit and the day is filled with a lot of pointless crap called 9-5 job unfortunatelly...not ready to move away from it just yet. But seems like an interesting idea to try for someone who only reads physical books to get a dual intake.
  13. check the "Nofap" topic below, lots of benefits have been discussed there.
  14. @Colininteresting point...but would kinda make sense from the evolutionary point of view when all knowledge was often traded by word of mouth.
  15. @RichardY Thanks dude! I wasn't aware, this is indeed a good deal considering the average cost of books can go as high as 25£. Will start with the free trial month and see how that work. Cheers!
  16. Thanks for sharing your opinions guys. Might give audible a try and see if it works for me.
  17. Magnesium + B-Vitamins (B1,B2,B3,B5,B6 + B9,B12) All support the running of Kreb's Cycle, the core of fat and carb metabolism into energy (ATP) in cell mitochondria, your body's powerhouse. Any of these gets low, your energy levels will suffer. Getting sufficient magnesium and B vitamins in can fix many cases of chronic fatigue...that it those that are not caused by adrenal fatigue, hypothyroid etc... Ofcourse, intake from food is preferable to supplements !
  18. I've graduated from business uni at 24 and re-entered college to study naturopathy at 28 after I decided that the uni was pretty much a time lost pursuing wrong path. Can absolutely understand the struggle, it is not an easy decision, just be sure that this is setting on a correct path for your life purpose and don't do it because you "feel the need" or just feel bored.
  19. Seems to me more like Orange decision. Blue will not wait to be fully materially secured before having a kid as long as there is sufficient familial /cultural pressure the baby will happen sooner than later.
  20. hope its your ex? Otherwise sounds like a pretty messed up situation.
  21. @pluto guess there isn't a single (longer-term) member on here who would not agree
  22. once you make it past taking your gym bag and getting outside of house, the rest is easy. Convincing your lazy body to go is the hardest part.
  23. @Hellspeed I see you promoting carni diet all over this forum, don't remember you doing so in your past posts. To me, this is EXACTLY THE SAME as vegans promoting their agenda. You found your religion, found new experts and saw some benefits, now you are spreading it all over the forum like cancer. So technically, carni diet is your RELIGION guess you just don't see it that way yet.
  24. agreed, there is some solid evidence on toxic properties or spirulina and damage to central nervous system. Chlorella from pure controlled environment is way way better option.
