Just Say No!

When this quarantine ends, 
I’m not looking forward to A-types 
Eye-balling me in public restrooms 
To offer up corrective hand washing techniques: 
“Uhh, yer doin’ it wrong,” 
“Eww, gross. You call that clean?” 
“That wasn’t 20 seconds, dude,” 
“You tryin’ to kill us all!”...
On the other hand, 
Let’s all agree to call out those 
Who flush then rush out the door!

My WFPB Diet: Day 261–Sugar Bombs

-
Me: What’s the deal with grapes? Are they a healthy part of a balanced diet or I they sugar bombs to be avoided, as I heard one health expert say? ChatGPT: Grapes can be a healthy part of a balanced diet, but like all foods, their value depends on context and moderation. Let’s break it down: Nutritional Benefits of Grapes 1. Rich in Antioxidants:  Grapes are packed with polyphenols, including resveratrol, quercetin, and flavonoids, which have been linked to heart health, reduced inflammation, and protection against certain chronic diseases. 2. Vitamins and Minerals:  Grapes provide vitamins C and K, as well as potassium and small amounts of other nutrients. These support immune health, blood clotting, and muscle function. 3. Hydration:  Grapes are about 80% water, which makes them a refreshing and hydrating snack. 4. Fiber:  The skin and seeds (if eaten) provide fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. 5. Low Glycemic Index (GI): ...

My WFPB Diet: Day 273–Anatoly Strength Training

-
Me: How is the weightlifting professional Anatoly able to lift 400 lbs easily compared to more muscular weightlifters who struggle. Clearly, he works out to develop his strength over large bulging muscles. What is his regimen for himself? What does he recommend for beginners? ChatGPT: Anatoly’s ability to lift 400 lbs while being less muscular than others demonstrates the distinction between strength training and hypertrophy training. While muscular size (hypertrophy) is often associated with strength, the two are not perfectly correlated. Anatoly’s approach likely emphasizes developing neuromuscular efficiency, tendon and ligament strength, and functional movement patterns rather than just increasing muscle mass. Key Elements of Anatoly’s Strength Training Regimen 1. Focus on Neuromuscular Efficiency Anatoly’s regimen likely centers on improving the connection between the brain and muscles, training the nervous system to recruit more muscle fibers efficiently. This allows him...

My Fruitive Challenge: Day 112 — What the Health on Protein

-
 I’ve been watching the documentary what the hell Health I’m Netflix. It’s pretty disturbing. It’s an exposé on how much money big Meat and Dairy pour into lobbying Congress to protect them from lawsuits from people dying of heart disease. The evidence is very convincing that medical ethical standards have been seriously corrupted to accommodate the propaganda that meat and dairy are healthy for us. I’m open to reading pushback about the documentary, but considering how much healthier I look and feel after just three and a half months of my WFPB SOS-free lifestyle, I would have to be hard-pressed to change my opinion! Quotes on Protein from What the Health Greens, beans, vegetables are loaded with protein All protein is initially made by plants. All of it. And it is not necessary to eat animal tissue in order to get protein. Only plants have the ability to actually take nitrogen from the air, break those molecules apart, and incorporate that nitrogen into amino acids and then make ...
