Insights into the COVID Pandemic

Weed is certainly a better option for stress than other drugs

However, it’s a quick fix and not a long term fix. Any attachment to anything leads to suffering in the long run

I’d say, running, walking, yoga, meditation for stress.
Weight lifting if you want to build the body and feel strong

It’s amazing how now the media and the masses are accepting that fat is beautiful. What I see is someone who eats their way to misery. They would rather escape with food instead of waking up, proud example of a clown world

The masses always love a quick fix, anything that takes time is shunned. The best thing one can do if one is seeking optimum health is not vitamins or anything complex. It starts with being at the optimum weight a concept long forgotten and one that most will not embrace because it means you have to make some hard choices. Once you are close to your optimum weight then other measures work very well, but no one (masses) will listen because it's a simple strategy but one that takes a bit of work. One thIng i have noticed among individuals that live long and live well is that they are at or very close to their ideal weight.

Indeed, I’d say aim for ideal bodyfat percentage. 10-15 percent for males is pretty good. Below that I find my cognitive ability slows down so I keep it around there.

The only solution is being extremely disciplined with weighing your food and understanding how your body responds to foods.

Also not to lose weight quickly, but rather slowly since the body always wants to maintain homeostasis

My personal way of doing things is using macro calculators, having a target calorie goal everyday and also counting my protein, carbs and fat. This and along with weight lifting, cardio and yoga leads to long term success

The great quote from Socrates himself says it best
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”


It’s true, the masses think this is too much or that I need to live a little. However being in peak physical condition leads to more living and more smiles

Sol,
What is your definition of optimum weight ?

AstuteShift,
How does one measure bodyfat percentage ?

Calipers or dexa scans. Or using the eye test. Mostly fitness enthusiasts do this

Let's inject some humour as well as facts into this discussion

If you can't see your toes you have a problem
if you can bend over and tie your laces from a standing position you have a problem
If you walk up 4 flights (of stairs) and can barely breathe then you have a problem

Now optimum weight is based on your height and body structure, so its only a fool would state that every one that is 6 feet has to weight X amount. One guy could have a skinny build which means that 185 to 199 pounds might be his limit. Another guy might have a muscular build which means he could weigh up to 230 pounds and still be agile.

Optium weight refers to you being close to the weight you were at the fittest point in your life. So lets assume we are talking about a normal person, then the average person is usually in the best condition of their life from 18 to 27 (one could push it to 30 in some cases. at this poInt i am referring to weight only). So if you are 5 11 and you weighed 190 at the optimum point in your life, then you should try to maintain your weight around that range (plus or minus a few pounds). Again the assumption is we are dealing with a normal person, that ate normally that was not overweight during the prime period of their life.

In my case at one point, i was up to 35 pounds over my optimum weight. So i made one major change and some minor changes. No diet, for diets kills you. Remove the T and you get DIE. I removed all wheat from my diet. I don't eat anything that contains wheat in it 99% of the time. I might break the rule for special occasions. Other than that I never watch what i eat, never measure the calories. I eat huge amounts of sugar-based on the fruits, honey and sugar i use in my coffee, I love ice cream (but only real ice cream, meaning it has to have no more than 4 ingredients in it and no corn syrup). I make sure there is no corn syrup in my diet. I try not to eat after 7. Usually, my last meal is at or before 7. And i lost all the excess weight with ease and no stress and I am now at my optimum weight. There are small things that I do like I try to have an anti-inflammatory diet, which is one of the main reasons I eliminated all wheat-based products. I love cheesecake, so i will eat the cheese part and throw the wheat-based crust away. People look at me and say what are you doing. I say saving myself and having fun at the same time. I drink a lot of coffee, consume lots of coconut oil, some supplements when i eat a lot of meat I supplement with Gelatin as the meat has inflammatory amino acids such tryptophan, cysteine, methionine which gelatine can help counteract. Gelatine is anti-inflammatory.

I also consume no PUFA oils. I only use coconut, palm oil, or butter ( or ghee but I prefer butter and only grass-fed butter). I don't care about organic meat or butter. I only care about Grass-fed. The same applies to chickens and eggs. I prefer free-range to organic.

Well, that's a good start and its now almost 10 years and regardless of how much I eat I won't go past my ideal eight by more than 5 pounds and it will balance out to back to the optimum weight. In simple words, when you are eating correctly (forget about healthy as that is a misnomer) you eat a lot less without even trying.

1,618, the golden ratio discovered by ancient Greeks. No matter you are tall or little or big, you have to apply the golden ratio between your shoulders and your waist. And you will be fit and healthy. Everybody can attein this objective by a rustic training. The best rustic training is given to us by Galius of Pergame.

We can profit of the experience of the ancient world, like yoga that also comes from the ancient world. The ancients used a lot of isometric exercices( exercice without moving), I use the kettlebell, also a very ancient tool, to do farmers walks and waiters walks, ropes and rings to do isometric holds......

Try it and you will have a rustic body like a Roman, because Romans we were and Romans we are !!!!!!!

[AstuteShift]

Indeed, vigorous exercise to me is part of me so to speak

SOL in a way is right, you don’t need to go nuts counting calories and all this work if it is cumbersome for you.

However, for me it’s another passion of mine. I wake up usually always around 430am consistently then do yoga. Then take my nootropics, go straight to the gym at 5am until usually 6am

Meditations after with a combination of cold showers depending how sore I am. Perfect time here to let go and be grateful that your body is not falling apart

Then I start reading old market updates and SOLs recommended books, which usually challenges my old train of thoughts.

Investing in your health and wealth, great combination

It's been a bit since anyone has discussed the Covid hoax. This video is pretty spot on considering I have used these type of meters in my career and recognize what this individual has documented.

We have a large portion of society that has become duped and drugged but will not recognize the condition.

Many towns in Sweden banning the use of masks. No scientific proof they prevent corona virus transmission plus the health angle.

Um, that's why you breath through the mask to bring in fresh air and not his blatant creation of a pocket of exhaled air. Have to actually use most of your diaphragm range instead of just shallow breaths.

[SOL]

The bigger story is that people will get so used to wearing the masks especially young kids and say those under 30, that they will not want to stop wearing them because as in the lord of the flies, having a mask gives you a degree of anonymity and we all know what happens when people think no can see them, their behaviour becomes more aggressive, belligerent, etc

From a higher-level perspective, the mask-wearing experiment is a genius albeit nefarious way to implement Pavlovian style training globally.

A new study published in the journal Aging-US reported that high-CBD cannabis has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a non-psychoactive compound in cannabis and is legal in all 50 states.

“Cannabis sativa, especially those high in the anti-inflammatory cannabinoid cannabidiol, has been found to alter gene expression and inflammation and harbour anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties,” the researchers at Health Canada concluded.

More recently, a Colorado State University study showed that CBD extract can slow growth and kill cancer cells in aggressive brain cancer.

“Our experiments showed that CBD slows cancer cell growth and is toxic to both canine and human glioblastoma cell lines,” said Chase Gross, a doctoral student participating in the study. “Importantly, the differences in anti-cancer affects between CBD isolate and extract appear to be negligible.”

That’s not all, CBD has shown potential for treating a variety of other ailments such as arthritis, seizures, chronic pain, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s and more – with little to no severe side effects that are common with leading pharmaceuticals.

..And so, it has to be banned. Just like all the ancient remedies - vilified - until big pharma can reformulate and patent.

[Triplethought]

..And so, it has to be banned. Just like all the ancient remedies - vilified - until big pharma can reformulate and patent.

CBD was invented in the 1940s. Hardly an ancient remedy.

The trend is to legalize marijuana, not the other way around. If we don't believe that is a trend we shouldn't be investing in Apha and MJ. Don't let cynicism of big pharma obscure the reality of what is happening. Pot stocks are UP my friend. Way up.

Also I like to remember that those who created the "ancient remedies" were largely evolved cavemen who wiped their asses with leaves. (because toilet paper was only recently invented). I say this as a way to try to communicate that "ancient remedies" are largely horse shit created by ancient people who didn't understand confirmation bias, the placebo effect, double blind studies, or for that matter what thunder was. You can hate big pharma but still acknowledge an aspirin works pretty well.
