Traditional when people actually needed and used the extra calories, not when they were doing sedentary jobs all dsy

Certain foods in south east Asia are considered primarily breakfast foods and are rarely eaten at other times. Rice porridge for example.

@Otboprthhu Peoole didn’t eat the paper thin strips of bacon they do now. They had thick cut pieces that would be more like 8 of the ones you have now, along with bread. And yes, it’s extra calories. Any calories you consume in a day that you don’t burn in that day is extra when you live in a modern society where you have 24/7 access to food

I don’t see it as ironic at all. He never cared about what impact his propaganda had on society and what works, works, so of course others would use it.

Uh, drinking is ingesting, but yeah, there’s a difference between consuming a large, concentrated amount of something vs a smaller amount thinned out by fiber.

Still no reason to drink fruit juices unless you’re treating it as a desert. Lots of sugar, digests faster without the fiber leading to even high insulin spikes and more endothelial inflammation. And various vitamins will oxidize rapidly on contact with air.

Makes sense to target the largest lucrative market for advertising to.

The US military starved countless Germans in the internment camps. They really weren’t all that much better than the Nazis. To say nothing of trading looking the other way for information, Truman cowardly backing down from taking the Soviets out, who were far worse than the Nazis.

Literally anything can be an “assault weapon”

Carbs are cheap, that’s why so many places pass off a bunch of bread and refined sugar as breakfast.

Well, it’s not OG, just a remake of it. Not really sure why it’s so popular, there’s so many variations of Thai chili sauce and the real OG Si Racha sauce from Si Racha I think tastes better as it’s less runny and less vinegary and the Mexican chilis used in Sriracha (no idea why he misspelt the name of where it came from), is no substitute for Thai Birds Eye chilis which are more spicy. I guess he did that because he was using what was around but its odd any first gen south East Asians would have wanted it over sauces made with Birds Eye chilies as they’re pretty adamant about using those. Seems it only really got popular when white hipsters and Americanized Asians started to use it and found it more robust in flavor than the typical Tobacco and other jalapeño only sauces that were popular at the time. Even though they sell Sriracha in Thailand, it’s rare to see anyone use it because it’s not the original and isn’t really considered spicy.

Hawaiian people aren’t even Hawaiian, they were colonizers from another island who sailed to the Hawaiian islands and killed/enslaved the people who were there first. Keep that in mind the next time Hawaiian “natives” whine about how Americans colonized them.

@timeliebe There’s nothing liberal about the Left. They e simple misappropriated that and many other terms to put a false positive spin on the totalitarian nature of their agendas.

Leaner meats are still better unless you’re going to go do hire of hard physical labor and actually need all that fat for energy

RIP deep sleep. You’ll end up with Biden Brain in your 70s

Salmon was peasant food and nearly all of it now is farmed and unhealthy

I do the same in Thailand as they last a lot longer and I’ve had eggs that were supposed to still be good go bad and had to be thrown out when kept at room temp. Same with bread, rice cakes, anything that shouldn’t be in warm, humid air.

For sure it’s raising your blood pressure. Even though it can act as a vasodilator outside your brain (where it’s restricting blood flow), it also raises cortisol increasing heart rate and directly stimulates the heart muscles increasing how hard your heart beats which can overcompensate for any drop in blood pressure to to vessel dilation. It also ruins your sleep and increases your odds of dementia as a result. You might get to sleep despite the caffeine but blocking the adenosine receptors prevents one of the three stages of sleep, and a pretty critical one at that.

@ Consuming the caffeine in 25-33 cups of coffee a day is going to have a bad effect on your BP, heart rhythm, and for sure your brain. There are people genetically sensitive to caffeine but never heard of anyone genetically desensitized and 3-4g per day is well past what you can build a tolerance too with no ill effects. Either you’re not consuming nearly as much as you think, or something very strange is going on. An infection like you had can certainly raise BP but 3-4g per day for sure will cause an abnormal BP, potentially high cranial BP and low everywhere else. Just 1.2g over a couple of hours can cause seizures in most people.

Lol, what? The Nazis were allied with the Japanese and Hitler even considered them a superior culture to the Germanic ones.

@happydepresso3606 What’s wrong about it? It’s literally just some Japanese. It wasn’t all of the, wasn’t most of them, was some of them.

@ No, that’s the communists

Just the unimportant parts of the world 😂 And it’s not like any of this info is really useful, or that you’ll remember it halfway through the next video.

Not if you have an arrhythmia, one you might not know you have, or have high blood pressure, which a crazy number of people have, or an aneurism waiting to happen. Quite a few people find out the hard way that even 400mg or 500mg can be bad for them.

@madbradfreeman Farmed salmon is not only bad for the planet, it’s considered to generally be the most toxic food you’ll find at a supermarket.

@ Yeah because you’re giving yourself a steady stream of fructose all day. The fiber might help keep you full so you don’t over consume and that’s helping you lose weight but it’s not just about weight. A third of people with type 2 diabetes are normal body weight or even skinny. Maybe if you’re only using low sugar berries like cranberries and raspberries or something like avocados, but most fruit is high in sugar and not something you want to be consuming all day. Especially fructose which is metabolized in the liver and puts you at higher risk of fatty liver disease. I’d stick to protein, avocado, the lowest sugar berries, and maybe some veggies. Just skip veggies that are high in oxalates like spinach, kale, and don’t use too many almonds for the same reason. Hemp protein is low quality. Only like 15% is bio available to be converted into muscle and other tissues. Better off with the fiber from the berries, some veggies, add in some acacia Senegal for soluble fiber, then use a better protein source like a clean brand of whey. You can go with cow or goat milk whey. Cows milk is fine if it’s grass fed and ideally lactose free as well. There’s no value in the lactose, it’s just unneeded sugar and the potential for an upset stomach. Goat and sheep’s milk is far easier to digest but sheep’s milk is pretty gamey tasting and more expensive and harder to find. Goat milk has a similar taste but less intense. And you know it’s grass fed since that’s how they’re all raised. Goat milk also has a good amount of omega 3s, although if you use goat milk whey powder it doesn’t matter as you’ll only end up with the protein.

@ Most people become more lactose intolerant as they get old. There’s zero benefit to lactose anyhow, just unnecessary sugar. Better off without it
1
@amazinggrapes3045 Yes, you still get the fiber but blending breaks down some of the insoluble fiber and frees up the carbs so they’re a lot easier and faster to digest. This can cause blood sugar to spiked faster and higher than eating the fruit whole. And the more it spikes, the more inflammation to the arteries, the more your body can over produce insulin causing a more dramatic glucose crash, and the more it can be an issue for diabetics who need to keep their glucose within a certain range. If the fruit is used in moderation or is low sugar then it’s not really an issue. But people tend to load up smoothies with too much fruit and don’t really consider how much sugar is in it

@Tora-no-shi Hawaiians aren’t even Hawaiian. The so called “natives” came from other islands and killed the people who were there first, and yet they pretend “their” land was stolen by Americans lol
