STOP These 5 Habits Destroying Your Brain
Dr. Daniel Amen - 5 Habits Destroying Your Brain
Summary:
1. Care about your brain health. It is insane to care about looks more than brain.
2. Do not let your thoughts control you. Examine your thoughts: are they valid/true?
3. Avoid social media addiction and the cycle of dopamine addiction.
4. Comparing yourself with more successful others with bring unhappiness.
5. Do not postpone your happiness until you achieve your goals. Live in the present.
6. Have balance in your goals for Health, Spirituality (purpose/meaning), Work, and Relationships. By being balanced you avoid burnout.
7. Avoid undue anxiety. But some anxiety is necessary to avoid doing wrong things.
8. Stanford study found the people who live longest are the conscientious people, that is the people who show up on time for their call of duty.
9. The same study show people who live longest are not the happiest people or the "don't worry be happy" people, or the constantly worrying people.
10. "Everything in moderation" is a terrible idea because it implies it is ok to do harmful inappropriate stuff in moderation. Why would you knowingly engage in bad things such as unhealthy food, alcohol, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and other bad things, even in moderation?
11. Overweight people have less healthy brain.
12. Alcohol and drugs are poison to brain.

Creatine Non-Athletic Benefits
Part 1 of 2
The Non-Athletic Benefits of Creatine.
Creatine, the unexpected ally for brain health and depression mitigation? Let's dive in.
While we often associate Creatine as a must-have in your supplement regime for improving strength and increasing muscle size, its role extends far beyond those boundaries. The massively overlooked component of creatine is its role in the brain as a potent energy source.
Our brain, much like our muscles, relies on ATP for energy. When brain cells don't have enough energy, they can't function as effectively, potentially leading to various problems, including mood disorders like depression. However, introducing Creatine may address this concern by producing and storing phosphocreatine, which offers the brain a readily accessible energy reserve.
What's the connection to depression? Our brains use approximately 20% of the body’s energy at rest and therefore depend on cellular metabolism (the process by which energy is provided in the body for optimal functioning).
If the brain has impaired cellular metabolism, it can cause one to feel emotionally and mentally exhausted, potentially leading to depressive symptoms. Creatine acts as a buffer and stores phosphocreatine in the cells providing a stable energy source.
In a placebo-controlled dose-ranging study, 34 adolescent and young adult women with major depressive disorder that were unresponsive to standard antidepressant treatment were given either 2 grams, 4 grams or 10 grams per day of Creatine Monohydrate for 8 weeks.
The study revealed that phosphocreatine levels in the frontal lobe were inversely correlated with depression scores. Each creatine-treated group, at all dosage increments, had lower depression scores than those treated with a placebo.
Although these results and studies could be promising for those suffering from mental illness, we are not recommending forgoing standard treatments. However, it’s great to see more research conducted surrounding the ever-expanding benefits of an already excellent supplement, and we’re excited to see its utility surrounding mental health in the future!

But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

Climate Change Bombshell!
Knowledge is the food of the soul.
~Plato
New data has emerged that directly conflicts with claims by the United Nations about so-called “climate change.”
The globalist UN claims that “97 percent” of scientists agree that climate change is caused by humanity.
According to the UN and its allies, the remaining three percent of scientists who don’t support that “climate crisis” narrative are “science deniers.”
However, according to Gregory Wrightstone, the executive director of the CO2 Coalition, a lot more than 3% of scientists are skeptical of the party line on global warming.

Rant 'n' Blaze "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY!"
Join me as I opine about what people need to address within themselves.
An Ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contradiction of what is. An ideal prevents direct action upon what is. To have peace, we will have to love, we will have to begin not to live an ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them.

HISTORY LESSON ON THE WORD CUNT
What is Etymology?
Etymology (/ˌɛtɪˈmɒlədʒi/ ET-im-OL-ə-jee[1]) is the study of the origin and evolution of a word's semantic meaning across time, including its constituent morphemes and phonemes.[2][3] It is a subfield of historical linguistics, and draws upon comparative semantics, morphology, semiotics, and phonetics.
Why this word?
The History of the word “cunt” is at times a surprisingly interesting one. Contrary to what you might think the word has not always been used as an insult to the female gender.

It is time now to realise the nature of the universe to which you belong, and of that controlling Power whose offspring you are; and to understand that your time has a limit set to it. Use it, then, to advance your enlightenment; or it will be gone, and never in your power again.”
