Red pill me on toothpaste
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
So ive just been wanting red pill after red pill, so whats the deal on toothpaste?what is it actually? Links please
Yah it sucks. I quit smoking by switching to vaping and now my tongue does this. In the past too much sugar would cause it. The vape juice has no sweeteners added
Side note, I’ve heard vapinf can dry your tongue.
Whenever I eat something sugary I get really thirsty for some reason.
Diabetes. Your body's attempt to flush out sugar.
Moral: cut out ALL refined carbohydrates or die a slow and painful death.
There is no difference between refined or unrefined carbohydrates when it comes to your blood levels.
It comes down to digestion and metabolism.
Refined carbohydrates tend to digest faster and therefore spike your sugar levels faster, which can aid in raising your insulin resistance.. but eating a massive amount of unrefined carbs will cause diabetes too.
Your body also isn't necessarily trying to "flush out" the sugar, either. This theory runs contrary to the function of sugars and insulin, which is to deliver everything -- good and bad -- to your cells.
Further, how you use those carbohydrates matter, not that you consume them.
If you have a heavy workout and consumed refined carbohydrates just before you started, those carbohydrates will deliver fats and protein and calories to your muscles, which repairs them and makes them stronger (and ultimately bigger).
You can do the same thing by consuming slower digesting unrefined carbohydrates further from your workout to achieve the same thing. It's not the type of carbohydrate, but how you use it.
When you aren't working out, insulin is released to store those calories, fats and proteins into fat cells, making them larger.
You're not going to die any faster by having refined carbohydrates in moderation. We are all, under every circumstance, dying a slow death.
You prolong your life by becoming physically active, learning your limits and understanding how to use your biology in your favor.
You can downvote me all you like; learning moderation is important, as is understanding the effects of carbohydrates on our body and how they are an important part of how it functions.
Even on keto, you synthesize glucose from protein for your brain via gluconeogenesis.
Your ketones burn fat, but don't do as good of a job delivering to muscle cells as insulin does.
Refined carbohydrates can be a very useful part of your diet for obtaining and maintaining strength and muscle density because timing your carbs creates the biggest gains.
I upvoted. I think this is a very solid post. But then again I would, considering it sounds almost identical to a monologue I said to a friend the other day.
The body prefers ketones, I think. But also functions on sugar. More sugar could be a good thing (temporarily), if there was something taxing the body that required response.
One other item: the consumption of cinnamon when one eats carbs can reduce the insulin spike. I am not even sure we fully understand why, but it works.
Most cinnamon isn't real cinnamon.
I’ve had tests for diabeetus and didn’t have it…
Which is odd. I thought it was that too.
Also I never ate a lot of high GI foods my life. Mostly eat meat 😂
I, too, had tests for diabeetroot and I don't have it. But I had a glucose tolerance test and failed it big time.
While I'm here, someone mentioned iodine. Here's a book: https://files.catbox.moe/de8xhh.pdf
Diabeetroot lol
I’ll read that thanks
Do i just ask for a glucose intolerance test?
Iodine eh? I had some but i never took it. Wonder if i should since this pdf claims it does a lot of good!
Edit: how do you treat glucose intolerance? What do you do?
A good rule of thumb is that if you ever get "suddenly thirsty", it's most likely that the body is demanding more water so it can flush out the thing you just ate. This is especially noticeable if you ever eat too much salt.
And a moment on my soap box, as a former smoker/vaper: The ingredients in vape juice are made by your good friends the Communist Party in China, who would never do anything to hurt you because they love you so. Got that? ... Consider ditching the vape, please.
It’s either vape or smoke cigs. It helped me get off cigs so I’ll continue for now but thanks for your concern.
And yeah I figured thirst was cause of that but even if I’m hydrated it’ll make me thirsty with really sugary food
I get it, I do.
I appreciate your concern. Also I don’t buy those non refillable devices. I order juice that’s made in USA. But I’m sure they get their flavors from China too.
I have read that both vaping liquid and mountain dew contain embalming fluid. So when we die we will already be preserved🤣
