I have a disease called leaky gut and I have to stick to strict diet otherwise ill experience inflammation all over my skin. I have not been doing this. I've been eating pleasurable, indulgent foods and it's hard to stop.
However, I want to change and I want to do it for you guys. As silly as this sounds, I feel like this movement merits me to make sacrifices. People fighting for our nation are making sacrifices, so I should be able to make sacrifices too.
This is gonna be hard, but I'm going to stop eating the pleasurable foods I shouldn't eat for the rest of this month. Wish me luck.
It's not crazy, at all. When you get the birds eye - it ALL falls into place. Like a big heureka, aha moment.
Blue light ruins melatonin release at night and unopposed blue light also ruins your eye and your dopamine production. (Melatonin is needed for autophagy and apoptosis - the control programs for your cells. If they don't work = disease, cancer etc.). Melatonin is made in the daylight by sunshine - just like vitamin d is synthesised by certain frequencies of light - then not all, but a lot of melatonin is produced that way too.
The thing with sunshine is that it's NOT unopposed specific frequencies. It's a spectrum with high entropy. There's ALWAYS red light in sunlight, so bluelight is never existing without red light in nature. Same with UV light. It's never existing without red or blue light in nature. (when I say never, it's not true - because cells release low frequencies of UV light for example..) But for the sake of the argument about sensible light exposure.
Red light therapy can ALSO just be lots of am sunlight. That's where you have most red in the sun compared to other times of the day. If gadgets - you can get cheaper panels, that aren't full sizes. Just don't skimp on quality, otherwise the sun is the better option. Always.
Wim Hof breathing is an issue. Not the cold, but the breathing is an issue because of the Bohr Effect and hypocapnia. So it seems good in the short term, but ends up not being good in the long term. Wim's strength is not his breathing but his cold exposure. (and his ability to access his nervous system). On the other hand the breathing is a hack to get to more cold exposure faster which is brilliant.. So ONLY use it for more cold exposure and not just on its own, if that makes sense. Use it as a vehicle to get places. Not just for a scenic drive.
Enjoyed the read again, thank you.
I'll do more research on the wim hof. I found out about tummo breathing today, which seems like another way to go about the wim HOF to get yourself exposed to the cold. A month into it and I think it's more about the cold than the breathing. But like you said, the breathing is a hack to handle the cold.
I hope others have read your posts and go down this rabbit hole. You definitely dropped some knowledge here and people should integrate these things into their lives.
Appreciate that. It's always nice when the horses drink the water you drag them to. :D
