avocado? really? how about this: canr.msu.edu/news/avocado_consumpt...
by contributing to "avocado" market you're contributing to killing this planet.
Same for basically any product we consume. You won't save planet by not eating avocado.
I can understand that sentiment, but that kind of fallacy isn't super helpful to help the discourse. The point isn't to never eat avocado again, but rather lower the consumption of avocado to a sustainable level. Same thing with eating meat, or using plastic products: one doesn't have to stop doing those things to help contributing with lowering our footprint in the planet, but lowering the frequency with which we do those things would certainly help, especially if everyone did it.
"As a result of the demand from the US for avocados, farmers in Mexico are influenced to increase the size of their farms, which is now leading to environmental issues"
So does the majority of the foods we eat.
"According to several news sources, avocado growers and pickers in Mexico reported being extremely unhappy with the wages they receive"
If this magical fruit is in such high demand, then I think the farmers ought to decide the value.
as others already stated, this is true for almost every kind of food. the problem is not "eating avocado", the problem is "overpopulation".
and all those environmental damages and high carbon footprint are results of just that.
stop eating avocados, stop using cars, stop making gadgets, technology etc., that targets the consequence, but not the cause.
the only permanent solution to that is colonization of other worlds. yes, i mean planets, moons, etc. dilute the population amongs more worlds. the earth will completely regenerate just by itself if we cut it's population in half.
we must focus all of our resources and efforts to colonization, not to that "green BS" which does not solve anything in long term.
What happened
When I read an article about boosting I have some questoins
by how much?
How much do i have to take?
How long do i ahve to take it?
Is it a significant change?
Should it ont be a mix of things I have to do? (In this case like enough sleep)
forget it, it's just another "buzzfeed" type of an article. Nothing to do with programming.
the only thing will work are nootropics look for this survey that was done in 2017 about the effect that some people noticed here:
darktka.github.io/
P.S PRL-8-53 is an experimental drug which is not approved by some medicine/health institute so I wouldnt even consider it since there arent studies about its MoA(outside the own lab's studies which were made in the 80s)
P.S2.
Some nootropic are offlabel prescription medicine while other might be considered suplements, in the list there are equivalent to amphetamines used for ADHD treatment(Adderal, methylpenidate) or medicine used to stay awake for prolonged periods of time (armodafinil,adrafinil)and overdosing could result fatal (probably amphetamines and caffeine along others in the list), also mixing some of them could result in problems like Arrythmia (those dopaminergic/epinephrine)
My advice would be research the MoA before buying and see if you dont have any problem that might get triggered by these compounds (caffeine and amphetamine related might trigger Arrythmia so those with Tachycardia might end up getting too elevated heart rate)
Came here looking for these answers. Left disappointed.
Foods wont help the amount of chemical compounds in every food probably wont be absorbed unless it is some extract (or plant) for example even if some of these had Thiamine (like B1) it wont be absorbed because it will be water soluble unlike Sulbutiamine which is fat soluble and has 2 molecules of thiamine, in this case taking sulbutiamine is effective and its effect will be noticeable
B12 is also really important for your brain, a good natural source is lamb/beef liver (huge amounts) and some fishes like salmon mackerel and other small fish. Most people though I guess would rather buy it as a pill.
But what about dietary supplements? Can you recommend some to increase brain functions? I already eat a lot of nuts and chocolate to help my brain function better, but I feel I need something more.
There is a Mind Lab Pro dietary supplement Review I read online, and it looks exactly like something I need. It helps to improve brain and memory functions, become more emotionally stable, and fight anxiety.
Does any of you have any experience taking such supplements? How long do they usually need to work? And can I mix it with other medications?
What kind of nuts would you recommend
I like almonds, peanuts and pistachio, but I just like them, I’m not sure you should eat these instead of another ones.
Wow that cool
In the words of Bill Gates, "that's the stupidest f-ing idea I've ever heard.".
Dark chocolate helps me, too, especially when I need to feel less sleepy. it works better than coffee
There really needs to be a law to require quoted scientific research before claiming anything has magical powers of "healing", "brain boosting", or similar.
