#(<- is lactose intolerant and has been consuming dairy their whole life)

[shibbledibble22]

Not me getting ready to give up entirely on milk bc I just consumed curdled milk 😭

[crypticenbug]

I'm a barista in my day-to-day life, and my brain is currently full of bees at the moment so I am subjecting you to what twitter already had to see:

All of the different Papas and what they get at their local coffee shop:

Nihil (Younger): He would get black coffee and insist he likes it but he actually thinks it's gross, but he refuses to get anything else cause it's cheap and he thinks it makes him look cool

Nihil (Older): Extra hot hot chocolate with 9 pumps of chocolate syrup, 3 pumps vanilla, no foam and a mountain of whipped cream (This is an actual order that a regular of mine gets. She's like 90 so her RN comes in for her). He's too old and dead to care about the amount of sugar he's consuming, that's Sister's problem now

Sister (Younger): She actually likes black coffee but only ever gets it out of convenience. If she's at a coffee shop, she's gonna get a latte, usually hot, and she will cycle through sugar free vanilla, mocha, hazelnut, and caramel. She's a classy lady who likes classy flavors, though she wouldn't mind a cold brew or shaken espresso from time to time.

Sister (Older): Her tastes on coffee kinda stay the same but she drinks a lot more tea now, goes for decaf more often and doesn't branch out as much. She starts enjoying cappuccinos as she gets older

Primo: He also drinks a lot of teas, but if he does get coffee it's gonna be black with a little room for cream and sugar but not a whole lot cause he enjoys trying to pick out the flavor notes of the coffee like he's at a wine tasting.

Secondo: His order will always be a hot french vanilla latte and if the shop doesn't have french vanilla he does hazelnut, idk why his coffee order came up so easily for me he reminds me of a regular I have

Terzo: Only brother who gets iced coffee year round, and he is NEVER consistent with his order besides the fact that it's an iced latte with some sort of flavored syrup. Loves asking his barista to surprise him and he always ends up loving the drink. Isn't lactose intolerant but doesn't like the texture of dairy milk so he gets a lot of alternatives and has gone through every one to pick one he likes. Right now it's almond milk

Cardinal Copia: Doesn't go to coffee shops very often but when he does, he gets something from the bev case and a cup of ice or he asks about any seasonals. Not a huge fan of coffee unless it is so sweet it would give someone a heart attack. Much like Terzo he hates the texture of dairy milk, he seems like the type to prefer soy

Papa Copia: Still enjoys seasonals, but so far his consistent order has been a pumpkin white mocha or a peppermint hot chocolate, both kids temp. Yes he wants whipped cream, what do you take him for?

Frater Imperator: Still hates bitter coffee, but has actually developed a taste for it now, enjoys whipped cream but keeps forgetting to ask for it until he gets his drink and takes a sip

Do you have any favorite and/or least favorite fanfic/fandom tropes or HCs for Donald Pierce or the Corinthian??

alright here’s my big long list of hcs

Donnie

• he/him, gay

• trans masc!! has a big cup size but his chest never really gave him dysphoria so he doesn’t see the need to get top surgery. or bottom surgery. really the only thing he’s done for his transition medically is take T shots. rarely wears binders and sticks to sports bras for support

• monster clit energy

• comfortable with some feminine terms as a way of reclaiming his past (ex: yes you can call him ‘queen’ and ‘miss’ he owns that shit now that he’s confident in who he is)

• ex military - mad scientist - engineer - mercenary combo. not really a headcanon but I feel the need to emphasize how much of a powerhouse he is

• reinforced metal spine and skull after an accident caused parts of his skin to be burned away (in addition to getting his arm amputated when he was in military service. different incidents). he made all of his cybernetic parts and manages them all himself, except in rare cases where he may need assistance. typical mad scientist things ykyk

• his type is huge, muscly, guard-dog men he can keep on a leash (Logan was the blueprint but we all saw how that worked out. he’s been a huge wolverine fan since he was in high school)

• gold fangs!!!!

• his hatred for mutants stems from jealousy. he knows he’ll never be one of them and in a rapidly advancing world that deeply scares him. he’s obsessive over keeping his cybernetic parts up to date and top of the line to combat his fear of being left behind. (-based on what boyd said in interviews about him)

• scariest power bottom you’ve ever seen in your life. miss pencil sharpener pussy

• size queen. will insult your dick size in broad daylight

• made a metal dick for himself once but honest to god it’s more of a weapon than a toy. do NOT let him use the strap

• all of the reavers want him so goddamn bad. why else do you think they’re so loyal to him they’re after that cyborg pussy

• he did NOT die and lives happily in his poly marriage with Kurt Ackerman (werewolf mutant oc) and Eddie Brock (yes, the venom guy) up in their cabin in Canada. he keeps them both leashed and wears the pants in the relationship at pretty much all times.

Corinthian

• pronouns up for debate honestly but I know he at least uses he/him. gay. faggot, even.

• not trans masc in the traditional ftm human sense but more so born genderless and consumes masculinity. it’s complicated but he’s somewhere close to male.

• his body is naturally androgynous (has a masculine frame but has feminine sex characteristics)

• has been dominant for most of his life but deep down wants to find someone he’s comfortable enough to be submissive with. being dominant allows him to avoid being too vulnerable and as a result he tends to default to that. the second Cori struggles very badly with this internal conflict and ends up avoiding sexual situations as much as he possibly can.

• paints his nails (this is basically canon fight me)

• his freckles have constellations hidden in them. a very good design choice on Dream’s behalf

• HE IS NOT RIPPED. HE IS PLAYED BY BOYD HOLBROOK HE IS SOFT AND SQUISHY. NO ABS.

• has always wanted to be a father and hence has a tendency to steal children and treat them as his own. this is all Dream’s fault because he programmed Cori to be Daniel’s caretaker a little too intensely. as far as I’m concerned this is the canon explanation for why he’s like that

• fairytale princess. has a tendency to be assigned talking animals as his babysitters. once again not even a headcanon he’s just like that

• this whole post I made about the dangerous cavern of his pussy

• lactose intolerant but still consumes dairy anyway he just like me fr

• gave Matthew gay slur rights because he thinks it’s funny

• Morpheus didn’t originally intend for Cori to be as horny as he is that’s all Desire’s fault for fucking around in the workshop

• his eyes are very sensitive PLEASE be gentle with his eyes

• wiggles his whole body like a long wet noodle when he’s happy because he was tragically born without a tail. regardless he can purr

if that ain’t enough to quench your thirst my entire blog is here 24/7 we have an array of hcs scattered throughout the isles

[femmefatalevibe]

are you intolerant to any foods? I'm suspecting I'm lactose intolerant now because I've been having stomach problems if I have cheese or milk. idk what to do if I am because I've been consuming those foods my whole life and I'm getting a little panicky now. how do I survive when nearly all foods have dairy?????

Hi love! Definitely check with your doctor to see if you have an intolerance. In fact, studies have shown that up to around 75% of the world's human population is lactose intolerant after they're breastfeeding years (source here), so you're not alone!

I've been vegan for over 10 years, so I've learned how to navigate around being dairy-free while still effortlessly making enjoyable meals, snacks, and going out to eat at regular restaurants, attending work dinners, traveling, etc. Being dairy-free/vegan has been amazing for me in terms of keeping my skin glowing, my hair full and shiny, and helping me maintain my ideal weight/steady energy levels. Personally, I recommend at least making some substitutions where you can and seeing how you feel (approach it like an elimination diet).

Glad to share any of my favorite dairy-free alternatives to milk, cheeses, butter, ice cream, desserts, etc., recipes, general dietary substitutions, tips on how to order in restaurants/traveling, unlikely sources of dairy, etc., or any other vegan-related tips.

Hope this helps! xx

this is... a long one...

Heta: Have you heard of Murphy’s law? The one where if something can go wrong, it will go wrong?

Kree: Yeah, I have. Heta: Have you heard of Cole’s law?

Kree: Is this a joke about coleslaw?

Heta: …maybe.

Kira: Vul, I don't like you.

Vul: What did you say?

Kira: You heard me!

Vul, internally: And it turns out I actually didn't hear what the fuck you just said.

Vul: Oh gosh I wish I got more sleep I only got six hours!

Kira: Six? I only got three!

Rose: You guys got sleep?

Heta, comes stumbling out of their room and grabs a jug of coffee before saying: What year is it??

Rose, texting Heta: Roses are red, Tony Hawk is a skater…

Heta′s phone, auto-replying: I’m driving right now–I’ll get back to you later.

*Later*

Heta, texting back: Fuck you.

Heta: This is a bad idea.

Vul: Then why are you coming along?

Heta: Someone has to get your injured ass home.

Kira: I will beat all of you in Rock, Paper, Scissors. You go first.

Heta: Rock.

Kira: Paper.

Heta: Money... Is like president trading cards.

Kree: What can therapy do for me that screaming in my car for 30 minutes can’t?

Kree: In the past year you have managed to piss off the LAPD, ATF, CIA, FBI-

Heta: NBA.

Kree: …?

Heta: Snuck into a Cliffords game.

Vul: Everyone knows that Santa is an invention designed by the big five corporations to sell tinsel and video games to an unsuspecting public.

Rose: The whole “childhood wonder” stage just blew right past you, didn’t it?

Heta: People tell me I have a unique way of lighting up a room.

Kira: It’s called arson and those people are called witnesses.

Heta: I WOULD DESTROY THE WORLD FOR YOU!

Vul: Okay, can you do the dishes?

Heta: No!

Rose: I see the red flags, I acknowledge that they're there, and then I completely ignore them.

Heta, very tired: Can I sleep in your bed?

Rose: *half asleep* Heta, this is a queen-sized bed. That means it’s for *gestures vaguely to themself* the Queen.

Vul: I hope no one lowkey hates me.

Vul: Highkey hate me. Hate me with every fiber of your being.

Vul: Go big or go home.

Heta: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Kree: Several traffic violations.

Vul: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Rose: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Kira: Also, that’s not our car.

Vul: I know one person who finds me funny!

Kira: Okay, who?... and you can't say yourself!

Vul: Okay then I'm out.

Kree: *sneaking in through their window*

Heta: *turning in their chair and flicking the light one* You want to tell me where you've been all night?

Kree: I was with Rose?

Rose: *turning in their chair* Wanna try again?

(This is only here because I have no clue why Kira would be trying to sneak out to talk to Rose????)

Heta, peeling a banana: May I take your jacket, sir? Hahahaha.

Vul: Do you think other people can’t hear you?

Rose: Screw lactose intolerance! I will consume as much dairy as I want!

Rose 2 hours later, crying on the floor: WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?!

Heta, gently nudging Vul aside with their foot: Vul, move out of the way so I don’t trip on you.

Vul, their eyes enormous: You kick Vul? You kick their body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Heta! Jail for Heta for one thousand years!

Kira: Heta, I think we have a problem.

Heta: What, the fire?

Kira: No, the- wait, what fire?

Heta: Oh forget about it, this sounds more interesting.

Rose: Pardon the intrusion, but-

Heta: On this moment or just my life in general?

Vul: I'm not creepy.

Vul: I'm petty.

Vul: There's a difference, ya' know.

Heta: Unpopular opinion, not all dogs are good boys.

Rose: Blocked.

Heta: Sometimes, they’re good girls!

Rose: UNBLOCKED!

Kira: Rose, I want Heta gone ASAP!

Rose: If you say so… wait, shouldn’t we get someone to help us?

Kira: The only person that could help us is Kree and I don’t really trust them… *Looks over to Kree*

Kree: If you’re gonna hide a body, clap your hands! *clap clap* If you’re gonna hide a body, clap your hands! *clap clap*

(Once again, WHY AND HOW?! AND HETA'S JUST FUCKING DEAD?!)

I might do more later, but this is enough for now

How to improve your digestion? | Dr Kanupriya Khanna

The human digestive system is responsible for providing the body with all vital vitamins, fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids that help in keeping the cells functioning. But our digestive system is very complex, even small negligence towards our digestive system can put us on the verge of having digestion problems. Some occasional digestion problems are constipation, heartburn or reflux, nausea and vomiting, bloating, etc.

So, it becomes very important to take care of our digestive system to have a healthy life. You can do it by following some precautions and making small changes in your daily lifestyle.

Tips to improve your digestion

Staying hydrated

It is very important to maintain an adequate amount of water level in your body. Although there is no fixed quantity of water intake as it differs from one person to another, on average drinking around 2–3 liters of water, every day is recommended.

If you find it difficult to drink enough water daily, you can try other water-based options like herbal teas, coconut water and infused water. Fruits and vegetables rich in fluid like tomatoes, cucumber, watermelons, and oranges should also be consumed.

Managing Stress

During stress, your body releases some stress hormones like corticosteroids and adrenaline which indirectly affect your digestive system. Therefore proper management of stress is very important to save yourself from digestive issues.

It can be done by:

-Doing some yoga or exercise daily.

-Doing meditation

-listening to music

– Good quality and quantity of sleep

Eating fiber-rich foods

Consuming a high-fiber diet like vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains can reduce your chances of constipation. It not only helps you in improving your digestion but also helps in maintaining a healthy weight, managing cholesterol and blood sugar levels of your body.

Chewing food properly improve Digestion

Proper chewing of food breaks down the food into smaller pieces thereby improving digestion and subsequently absorption of nutrients.

Considering lifestyle habits

Unhealthy lifestyle habits that can affect your gut include:

-Late-night eating: Eating your meal late at night and then instantly lying down to sleep causes heartburn and reflux. Therefore it is very important to avoid eating late at night. It also leads to weight gain.

-Alcohol and smoking: If you already have digestion issues and have a habit of smoking and drinking alcohol then you should know that it may create more risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal cancers.

Lactose intolerance

Dairy products contain a natural sugar known as lactose. It is better to avoid lactose-based foods like milk and milk products if you are intolerant to it.

Limiting high-fat foods

To improve your digestion you must limit the foods that can trouble your stomach and digestive system. Avoiding soda and deep-fried foods (French fries, chips, fritters) can be of great help.

Taking gut bacteria-friendly foods improve digestion

Taking gut-friendly foods can also improve your digestion. These are also known as probiotics and prebiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria that occur naturally in the food and are good for your digestion. Foods that contain probiotics naturally are Kefir, kimchi, yogurts, sauerkraut, etc.

Prebiotics are dietary fibers that allow the gut bacteria to produce nutrients for the colon cells leading to a healthier digestive system. Garlic, onions, bananas, and chicory roots are certain foods that are the source of prebiotic fiber for your body.

Spices and herbs

Some spices and herbs can help in improving digestion by stimulating the liver and activities of certain enzymes responsible for the digestion of food in your body. You can add spices and herbs like ginger, cardamom, turmeric, fenugreek, and various others to improve your digestion.

Connect with Kanupriya Khanna who has been working in this field since 2003. She is regarded as one of the best dietitians in Delhi because of her unwavering commitment to making a difference in people’s lives by instilling good eating habits and lifestyles.

How to Break Free From The 9 to 5 Grind And Find A More Meaningful Life.

What did you do last week? Was each day about getting up, going to work and coming home exhausted?

Is your house filled with gadgets and toys meant to distract you from the dreadfulness of those 50-, 60- or 70-hour work weeks?

In case you haven’t realized this for yourself, there’s little happiness to be found in devoting your life to a job that only provides you with a paycheck. And to make matters worse, the meaningless things we buy to make the job easier to cope with only serve to clutter up our lives and cause more anxieties and distractions.

As these post points out, it’s time to reprogram our minds and bodies away from the corporate culture of fast-food, disposable goods and instant gratification. With some simple techniques and a bit of effort, you can reclaim your life, declutter it of all that’s hollow and useless, and refill it with meaning and purpose.

Money and stressful jobs are not keys to happiness.

Many people grow up with the expectation that getting “a good job” is everything. From this perspective, true “success” is based on how good the job is – which is largely dependent upon the size of the paycheck. But the truth is: money doesn't buy happiness.

Even rich people will tell you that more money comes with more problems, including being so stressed that you resort to comfort eating, waste money on meaningless gadgets and constantly think about the future while never enjoying the present.

Success often comes at another great cost: very few hours to spend with loved ones. Hired help raises many children from families of success-oriented adults, just so their parents can spend more time earning money.

So, more often than not, the thing that money really buys is unhappiness. Ask yourself this: Is any stressful job worth having?

Ryan Nicodemus asked this question while working at what many would consider to be a great job. He was even on the rise, getting promoted to a managerial position, but the role came with 80-hour work weeks and huge amounts of responsibility and pressure. What it added up to was debilitating anxiety, stress and depression.

Nowadays, Nicodemus believes there is no amount of money to justify the toll a stressful job has on your mental health. However, when you’re wrapped up in the job-is-everything mentality, it feels like you always need to make more and more money.

Both Nicodemus and his friend, Joshua Fields Millburn, thought they would be happy once they hit $50,000 a year. But after reaching that milestone, the goal quickly crept up to $75,000, then $100,000 and so on. At no point did they feel satisfied.

Part of the reason for wanting more was that, as their paycheck grew, so did their financial commitments and responsibilities – in the form of loans, cars and mortgages. Eventually, enough was enough and they both quit their jobs and decided to live on less money.

It was at this point that Millburn and Nicodemus finally experienced happiness. All thanks to their decision to adopt a minimalist lifestyle of working and consuming less.

But as we’ll see, the minimalist ethos is about more than money and work; it’s about letting go of everything that holds you back.

To begin your shift to minimalism, pay off your debts and declutter your surroundings.

If you were to ask yourself “What are the anchors that are dragging me down?” the answer might not be readily apparent. But there’s a good chance that you have some form of debt, be it a mortgage, credit cards or student loans, that weighs heavily on your well-being.

That’s why the first and most crucial step to minimalist living is to pay off all your debts.

At some point, you may have been fooled by credit-card ads or a banker telling you to take advantage of a certain mortgage, but let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as “good debt.” All debt is bad, plain and simple.

As Joshua Milburn was preparing for a minimalist existence, he followed a strict budget and spent two years saving as much as he could to pay off his debts. This meant a hundred weeks of no vacations, no restaurants and no luxuries of any kind. But it was worth every minute for the relief he felt in finally paying off his debts. He was now free to live the life he wanted.

While you’re decluttering your finances, you should also turn your attention to reducing your material clutter.

First of all, it’s important to recognize that your possessions aren’t a meaningful statement about who you are as a person. Instead, you should ask yourself whether your belongings truly help you live in the present or if they prevent you from doing so.

For decades, Joshua Milburn’s mother had four sealed boxes in her home that she never opened. They contained every scrap of work John had brought home from elementary school, from handwriting tests to drawings.

Millburn understood that she was hoarding these things in an effort to hold on to her little boy, but the cherished and meaningful things in life aren’t objects, they’re our memories and relationships. This doesn’t mean you need to throw away everything, but Milburn’s mom could keep one meaningful drawing in a frame rather than four sealed-up boxes.

By decluttering, we not only give ourselves more physical breathing room, but we also provide more mental breathing room. Having objects everywhere vying for our attention can easily weigh us down mentally.

Minimalism is also about reducing the amount of junk you put into your body.

There’s no shortage of diets or fitness programs out there. In fact, the sheer amount can seem overwhelming. But you can avoid trendy diets and temporary fixes by reprogramming the way you think about your body.

From now on, think of it as a machine: when you give it high-quality fuel, you’ll allow it to perform at its maximum potential. With this frame of mind, it should seem obvious that junk food, like processed and prepackaged goods, should be avoided.

This kind of food is full of additives and preservatives that add zero nutritional value to your diet. All they provide are empty calories, especially sugar, which are terrible for your health. Sure, these foods may taste good in the moment, but they can often make you feel awful afterward. So any temporary pleasure is far outweighed by the long-term damage they can cause to both your physical health and your mood.

A good decluttering regimen should also include dairy and bread. We’ve been eating wheat and pasteurized milk for a relatively short period in human history – only since the invention of agriculture. Our bodies were never designed to digest the vast quantities of dairy and bread contained in the average modern diet.

So, whether you have a gluten or lactose intolerance or not, you can benefit from cutting back on these foods and replacing them with natural whole foods like vegetables, fish and beans. Once you’ve made this adjustment to your diet, you’ll soon find yourself with a surplus of energy. And this is a good thing to have for the next step: getting the most out of your body.

Fitness is something that works best when you have a constant growth mind-set, which means you’re always aiming for more than last time – whether it’s a faster running time, more repetitions or heavier weights.

To adopt this mind-set, you need to demand more from yourself. To help make this happen, you can reprogram your thinking away from “I should...” to “I MUST...”

Don’t tell yourself “I should go out jogging three times this week;” instead say “I MUST go for a run tomorrow at 8 a.m.” With some persistence, you can even make yourself accomplish new things.

Maybe you can’t do a single pull-up now, but you can probably hang from the bar for 30 seconds. So, do that and then tomorrow, hang for 40 seconds, and then continue doing more until you build up enough arm strength to do a pull-up.

Change and improvement don’t have to impact your authenticity; they can lead to better relationships.

Friends and loved ones are important. If you’re currently feeling isolated or unhappy with your relationships, it may be time for another round of reprogramming, this time to become more accepting of others as well as appearing more acceptable to others. The first step to making this happen is to have a willingness to change.

It’s hopeless to try and change other people – in fact, it’s cruel to even attempt to do so – but it is possible to improve yourself.

However, you may be resistant to the idea of change if you think that there’s nothing wrong with being your “authentic self.” But it’s important to take an honest look at your behavior and recognize when you’re doing something that upsets people or is a turnoff.

If you’re unhappy about being shy, a poor listener or overweight, don’t think “that’s who I am.” Instead, do something about it and be proactive in your self-improvement.

Changing yourself isn’t betraying your authenticity; it’s simply a way to attract better relationships. Would you rather be lonely or would you rather work on yourself so that you’re a better conversationalist and a more appealing person?

Another avenue toward self-improvement is to be more accepting of those with different opinions than your own.

Don’t think that you’re meant to find someone who thinks and shares the same opinions as you – this is just another fallacy. Relationships aren’t about hobbies and tastes; they’re about love, so you should accept that people are going to think differently than you.

If more people were open-minded about whom they hang out with, there would be far fewer lonely people in the world!

So, don’t just tolerate and accept your loved ones' peculiar habits; respect and appreciate them!

Let’s say your loved one has a hobby you find annoying, like collecting action figures. After all, isn’t a silly collection the opposite of minimalist living? Actually no, especially if they get a lot of meaning and pleasure out of that collection. So don’t deter them; understand that the collection enriches your partner’s life and therefore should be cherished as part of what makes them the person you love.

With this in mind, here are the four steps to help you better tolerate, accept, respect and appreciate the person you’re with:

Tolerate their unique hobby or passion;

Accept that it will always be there;

Respect the effort your partner puts into their pastime;

Appreciate the hobby as a part of your life because it is an important part of your loved one’s life.

Don't let work define you as a person.

Just as we saw the importance of breaking away from the idea that money and work are the most important things in life, so too should we avoid thinking that our jobs define us.

Think of it this way: You’re a complicated person with a variety of interests and talents, some of which make money, some of which cost money. So you’re far more than just your job. Nevertheless, it's easy to fall into the trap of letting your job title define you.

Many people will find a job in a certain industry and feel they should stick with that industry for the rest of their lives as if it's a part of who they are. But remember, a job is just a job. In fact, your job might even be an anchor that weighs you down.

Consider this: your job isn’t even one of the top five most important aspects of life. Those are: your health, your relationships, your passions, your personal growth, and your contribution to society.

These are the aspects of your life that make sense to measure yourself against, not your job title or how much money you make.

This is why you should avoid the annoying small-talk question of “So, what do you do?” This is often asked early on in a conversation as if it were the most important characteristic of someone’s life and not just a different way of asking, “So, how much money do you make?” Instead, why not ask them, “What are you into?” or “What are you passionate about?”

And if someone asks you, “What do you do?” you can redirect the conversation by saying something like “Oh, I do a lot of things, but my current passion is gardening. How about you?”

For more freedom, reduce your dependency on money.

One of the primary purposes behind minimalism is to spend less of your life working at a job. Naturally, this means finding ways to become less dependent on a big paycheck.

There are a number of ways to help with this, including learning how to make things yourself rather than buying them, and selling off the needless clutter in your home. But the next reprogramming you should learn is how to live on a small income.

The first step here is to create a monthly budget and stick to it. So start by making a list of needs, which includes all your fundamental household costs, such as food, pet food, gas, electricity, insurance and transportation. These are basic needs that have to be met, so there’s no getting around them.

Next, start a second list of wants, which might include categories like new clothes and entertainment. Now, at the start of each month, separate your extra money so that both of these categories are given a budget. And to make sure you don’t break the budget, you can separate them into different spending accounts.

Remember, every dollar in the budget should be accounted for. So, if you dip into the entertainment budget to buy new shoes, you’ll have to wait until next month to go out to that restaurant.

To reduce hard feelings and make things fair, get the entire household to agree on the budget. Since everyone has a say, there should be a feeling of mutual responsibility for making it work. For example, by making the kids part of the process, they’ll know not to bother trying to get extra money for video games when that money is being set aside for school supplies. But it’s still wise to set up a safety net.

Once you get yourself set up, you’ll find that it isn’t hard to live comfortably with less money, but that doesn’t mean life won’t surprise you with something unexpected, like an illness or the car breaking down.

This is why it’s smart and sensible to establish a safety net of at least $500 to $1,000 at first. You should not only do this as soon as possible, but you should also put the money in a place where it isn’t easy to spend.

Once you're out of debt, you can add to this safety net. And with your new found powers of budgeting, you’ll find that this fund can grow quite quickly.

Make life more rewarding and purposeful by taking on difficult work that contributes to society.

So you’ve cut all your anchors and are finally free from your dependencies. The only question now is: What are you going to do with your newfound freedom?

Sure, you have your new plans to get healthy, fit and friendly, but you won’t get far without a strong purpose in your life. And true purpose only comes from a meaningful life that allows you to actively contribute to society.

You might think that donating money to a charity means doing enough for society, but you can only have it be meaningful and purposeful if you’re directly involved.

What you’re sure to find is that the most rewarding activities are the ones that are the most challenging.

Some activities are easy, like reading in the park or swimming in the pool, and while easy activities are fun, they aren’t very purposeful.

Challenging activities, on the other hand, might make us feel uncomfortable while we’re in the middle of them, but afterward, they make us feel fantastic. This can include child rearing or running a marathon – there are a lot of difficulties involved, but the rewards make these efforts feel worthwhile, and they become the most significant experiences in our lives.

That’s why these are the kind of events we should seek and build our lives with, especially when we don’t just contribute to our lives but to society as a whole.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of charities looking for volunteers for this kind of meaningful work, whether it’s building affordable homes for the poor or turning vacant lots into community gardens. This is tough work, but it’ll be extremely rewarding when you’re looking back on it.

You can still make these tasks fun, too. If you’re building homes for the needy, there’s a good chance some days will be rainy or cold, and morale might take a dip, but you could rally together to sing songs. Or you could have an emergency supply of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

But unlike a cushy office job, where you may not even understand how your work contributes anything of value, this difficult work comes with a strong sense of purpose that will make your days a lot easier to get through – no matter how bad the conditions might get.

You are not your job, and you don’t need as much money as you think. You can restart your life by dispensing with all the “stuff’ you don’t need and the relationships that are dragging you down. Living simply will help you open up to and relish a more meaningful life.

UNLIMITED Advantage of Drinking Milk :

Adults of an exact age grew up hearing one factor regarding milk: “It will a body smart.” Advertisements featuring various celebrities, athletes, and superheroes helped sell the idea that milk was exactly what your body needed.

Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth. And milk can’t be part of a truly healthy diet until you know exactly what it does to your body.

Wondering what that glass of milk each night is doing to you? This comprehensive guide has the answers you’ve been waiting for.

Many people gulp milk down hoping it will help them live a healthier life. Why, then, does it make you feel bloated?

If you’re wondering how to tell if milk is bad for you, just check out what it does to your body. If it makes you feel painfully bloated, then you may have lactose intolerance or something more severe like IBS.

Keep in mind that your body’s digestive system changes as you get older. Milk may cause bloating now even if it hasn’t been a problem in the past.

When determining how healthy milk is, most folks just ask “how many calories in milk?” The answer, though, is more complicated than that.

For example, a glass of 1% milk has a little over 100 calories in it. While it’s possible to have too much of a good thing, milk by itself doesn’t have too many calories.

Furthermore, regularly consuming milk two or three times a day can help you burn fat. This is why it’s important to pay attention to your scale: even if you feel bloated from milk consumption, you may be shedding pounds!

You already have the answer to the question “how many calories in a cup of milk?” To better understand milk and overall health, you must understand more of the nutrition/calorie balance.

It goes like this: while you can count the calories for anything you consume, some of those calories are more nutritious than others. A balanced and healthy diet boils down to consuming more healthy calories than unhealthy ones.

The calories from milk are more nutritious than the calories from many other foods. And one of the reasons for that is because milk contains protein.

How much protein in milk is there, you ask? Generally speaking, you get one gram of protein per ounce of milk that you consume.

That protein helps you feel fuller faster, meaning you are less likely to eat too much. In this way, milk is a win/win: it helps you eat less while ensuring that more of your calories are healthy and nutritious.

For best results, milk should be relatively fresh because of the pH balance of the liquid. If you’ve ever asked “what is the pH of milk,” it’s only about 6.5. This means milk is slightly acidic.

Water has a neutral pH level of 7. The closer to 0 on the pH scale, the more acidic it gets. But the acidity of milk goes up as it gets sour — that’s why old milk tastes so nasty!

Still wondering why is milk bad for you when there are so many health benefits? Regardless of other health goals, everyone wants to have smooth skin. Sadly, milk may be disrupting this particular goal!

Dairy can be inflammatory, and some people are more prone to it than others. If you’re breaking out after drinking two or three glasses, this may be your body’s way of saying to lay off the dairy.

Inflammation may have you asking “what is in milk?” In this case, it’s something called D-galactose that is out to ruin your selfies.

You may have noticed that milk is popular with weight lifters. The simple reason for this is that it can help you maintain your muscle mass.

Milk contains a unique carb/protein mix that leads to stronger muscles. Whether you’re looking to add new muscles or maintain the ones you already have, milk is a great post-workout drink.

Of course, you can test this yourself. Start drinking milk after you lift and watch those gains grow!

Milk can strengthen bones

Everyone has heard about milk being good for calcium for the entirety of their lives. But how much calcium in milk is there, you ask?

A standard cup of 1% milk has a little over 300 milligrams of calcium. While the other nutrients are also good for your body, calcium, in particular, helps to foster strong bones. This is the primary reason so many parents encourage their children to start drinking milk from a young age!

Many worry about the sugar content of milk. How much sugar is in milk? Only 13 grams in a cup of 1% milk–just enough to give it a sweet taste.

Therefore, milk isn’t likely to lead to diabetes. Quite the opposite: the nutrients in milk can help to protect against diabetes and other health risks such as cancer and heart disease!

Furthermore, the chances of catching harmful bacteria from fresh (not spoiled) milk is nearly impossible because virtually all store-bought milk is pasteurized. By heating the milk to 165 degrees F for 15 seconds, companies kill disease-causing bacteria in the milk and extend its shelf-life.

But if you ever happen to buy raw milk from a farm and are wondering how to pasteurize milk yourself, you can heat it in a steel pot at 145 degrees F for half an hour. Stir constantly to keep the milk from burning and to make sure it is heated evenly. Cool it in an ice-filled sink and you are good to go!

Now that you know the benefits and drawbacks of milk, you can make the right diet choices for your body! Listen to what your body is telling you and you’ll know if you need to reduce or increase the amount of milk in your diet.

Face God and Walk Backwards Into Hell

Summary: Peter is lactose intolerant—and arguably masochistic—and this somehow becomes Tony’s personal cross to bear.

(In the same universe as Spider-Man’s Very Mundane Kryptonite, but the stories can be read independently) 

Word count: 1,763

Genre: Fluffy illness, humor, sickfic

Link to read on A03

After initially finding out that the kid was lactose intolerant, Tony started doing everything in his power to help Peter avoid dairy. He stocked three kinds of plant-based milks at the compound—soy, almond, and cashew. If he was ordering pizza for team training nights, he would always make sure to have non-dairy pasta and salad options on the side. Chips and pretzels were served with hummus or bean dips rather than sour cream based ones, and Tony even tried out a vegan cheese version of his mother’s beloved lasagna recipe.

All these precautions would have likely been very effective, if only Peter wasn’t such a little shit.

At first, Tony assumed the kid just made a mistake. That was what he figured when he shuffled into the kitchen at one a.m. on a training weekend to discover the teenager standing with his back to the entrance, rifling through his cabinets.

Tony stood in the doorway, arms crossed over his chest in amusement. “Looking for something?”

Peter startled and spun around, eyes wide. “Whoa, what are you doing up, Mr. Stark?”

“Insomnia’s a bitch,” Tony scoffed. “But I could ask the same about you. Shouldn’t you be wiped from your training session with Cap earlier?”

Peter’s stomach growled loudly in response, causing his unusually pale cheeks to flush slightly.

Tony raised his eyebrows. “Are you hungry? If you need a snack, try the fridge.”

With a small groan, Peter snaked an arm around his middle. “Uh, no thanks,” he said with a grimace. “I’m not feeling so great, actually.”

“Stomach ache?” Tony guessed.

Peter looked embarrassed, but nodded anyway. “I didn’t mean to bother you, I just was seeing if you had anything down here I could take for it.”

“You mean like Pepto, or…?” Tony asked with a frown.

Peter shook his head. “That doesn’t usually work very well. May has these like, enzyme pill things that sometimes help...?” he said hopefully.

Tony quirked his head in thought. “Pepper might have something,” he mused. “She’s fully on the herbal supplement bandwagon.” He crossed the kitchen over to a drawer next to the fridge and opened it to reveal a few dozen small bottles.

With some assistance from FRIDAY, he quickly identified the most-likely-to-be-helpful candidate—some kind of natural probiotic—and dosed out two pills for the kid.

“Thanks,” Peter muttered before knocking them back with some water. “Ugh. I’m never eating ice cream again,” he moaned.

Tony’s forehead wrinkled up in confusion. “When did you get ice cream?”

Peter gave him a pained smile. “Uh… after training? Clint took me out—he said someone should celebrate the fact that I laid out Cap twice.”

“Yeah, I thought so too,” Tony said with a huff. “Which is why I served everyone those vegan eclairs that I special ordered because, you know”—he shot Peter a pointed look—“they don’t have dairy.”

“He, uh, he said someone should celebrate it with a real dessert,” Peter mumbled.

“I’m hurt, Pete,” Tony mocked.

Peter’s gaze dropped to his feet. “If it makes you feel any better, I got Stark Raving Hazelnut.”

“Why would it make me feel better to have my name attached to your gastrointestinal distress?” Tony asked sarcastically.

Peter huffed out a quick laugh. “Sorry.” Suddenly he winced and pressed a hand to his stomach. “Ah. Cramp.”

“It’s alright, kid,” Tony scoffed. “I think you’re being punished enough.”

At the next Avengers team dinner, Tony stood in the buffet line behind Peter, watching in horror as the teenager covered his pasta in Alfredo sauce. “What the hell, Peter. I got the marinara one especially for you.”

“I had some of that already and it was great, Mr. Stark!” Peter said earnestly. “It’s just been like, forever since I had actual alfredo sauce.”

Tony blinked at him. “Right...” he said slowly “...That would be because you’re allergic to it.”

“Technically it’s not an allergy,” Peter argued, sprinkling parmesan on top of his Fettuccine Alfredo. “An allergy would require an autoimmune response. We learned that in freshman year bio.”

Tony rolled his eyes. “Fine, intolerance, whatever. You’re still gonna get sick.”

“I’ll be fine if I only have a little bit.”

A mere thirty minutes later, Tony was having déjà vu.

“Peter, I swear to God…” he began.

Peter gave him a sheepish grin. “Okay, I know what you’re gonna say, but—”

Tony spread his arms out dramatically. “There is literally half the dessert table here full of things you can eat, and yet you pick the cheesecake? Why?” he demanded.

Peter gave him an incredulous look. “Because it’s cheesecake, Mr. Stark,” he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Tony scoffed, “Yeah, key word there, cheese.”

Peter gazed longingly at the towering fluffy white dessert balanced on the serving spatula in his hand. “But it’s so good.”

Tony ran an exasperated hand over his face. “Kid, think this through. I’m begging you.”

Peter let out a resigned sigh as he let the piece of cheesecake tip onto his waiting plate. “I have. I’m sorry.”

Tony raised his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, it’s your funeral. But I don’t wanna hear about it later.”

“You won’t—I promise,” Peter assured. He picked up a fork, and, making eye-contact with Tony the whole time, brought a bite to his lips. “But I gotta do it, Mr. Stark.”

A few hours after dinner, Tony spied Peter emerging from the restroom, pale and sweating, arms wrapped around his obviously cramping stomach.

“Uuugh Mr. Staark…” Peter whined upon seeing his mentor. He was making a pouting face, but the tiniest hint of a smile playing at his lips. “My tummy huurrts...”

“I’m sure it does, kid.” With a snort of amusement, Tony held out a bottle of water to the teen, who took it gratefully. “Was it at least worth it?”

Peter thought for a moment as he sipped the water. “Almost,” he finally decided. He hummed to himself. “Now if the cheesecake had had whipped cream on it…”

Tony let out a long sigh. “Why? Why do you do this to yourself?” he implored.

Peter locked eyes with his mentor. “Mr. Stark,” he said solemnly, “some nights you just gotta face God and walk backwards into Hell.”

“NO YOU FUCKING DON’T, PETER!”

Tony was just finishing some updates on DUM-E when FRIDAY alerted him to the fact that Thor was urgently approaching the workshop doors. Given he wasn’t a usual visitor, Tony looked up curiously.

“Stark, you must come quickly!” Thor’s voice boomed. “The Falcon and young Man of Spiders seem to have ingested some kind of poison.”

Tony’s heart dropped. “What?” Peter and Sam had been poisoned? “How?” he asked sharply. He dropped his tools on the workbench and immediately hurried toward the door. “What kind of poison?”

“I am not certain,” Thor replied. The two men strode quickly down the corridor. “But it appears only to affect mortal men as I myself have consumed the same beverage and yet I remain unscathed.”

“Did you call in a med team?” Tony demanded.

“A healer?” Thor questioned. “Nay, but Banner had arrived just as I left to seek you.”

Tony instantly breathed out a sigh of relief. Sure, Bruce may not be an actual medical doctor, but his seven PhDs are certainly worth something. “Okay, good. What symptoms are we talking about here? When did this start?”

“It came on about an hour after consuming the beverage. They both appear to be in a fair amount of pain, and their bodies seem to be working to expel the contaminant,” Thor reported. “There is a foul odor about them as well, as though something inside is dying.”

“Jesus…” Tony swore, breaking into a jog for the rest of the way to the common area.

When he arrived, the scene wasn’t quite the picture of imminent peril that Thor had painted for him. On one couch, Sam was laying flat on his back, one arm hugging a pillow to his stomach while the other arm was extended upward so that his forearm rested over his eyes. On the couch next to him, Peter was half sprawled out, half propped up against the cushions so he could sip from a can of Sprite. He looked a little green.

Bruce, looking calm as ever, was lining a small trash can next to Peter with a fresh plastic bag.

“What’s going on here?” Tony demanded, stepping into the room. “Thor tells me they’ve been poisoned.”

Bruce let out a quick snort of laughter. “You could say that. Self-inflicted, but sure.”

“Excuse me?” Tony raised his eyebrows.

“Mr. Staaark…” Peter moaned from the sofa. “Did you know there’s no such thing as a milkshake on Asgard?”

Tony just blinked at him.

“I mean, imagine going your whole life without ever tasting a milkshake,” Peter went on, his tone just bordering on a whine.

“That’s just not right, man,” Sam groaned in agreement.

Tony glanced at the three, large, empty tumblers on the table nearby, their insides coated in what appeared to be milkshake residue. He looked back over his shoulder to the kitchen area and spied a blender sitting out on the counter.

“I can’t believe I’m seeing this,” Tony deadpanned. He shot Sam a glare. “And now you too?” he accused.

“Blame genetics,” Sam grumbled. “Did you know seventy-four percent of African Americans are lactose intolerant?”

“Rhodey isn’t,” Tony quipped back.

“Well hooray for Rhodey then,” Sam muttered irritably into his arm. “Lucky bastard.”

“I do not understand,” Thor spoke up, frowning in confusion. “Have these men been poisoned or not?”

“Yes,” Peter groaned, clutching his stomach.

Tony rolled his eyes at the dramatic kid. “It’s… complicated,” he replied to Thor. “They’ll live, and with any luck, they’ll be deterred from future idiotic behavior for about a week. Or five days if I order pizza on Friday.”

“This was about justice for the Prince of Asgard,” Peter mumbled. “We die like men.”

“Men with tummy aches,” Tony pointed out.

Eyes still covered by his arm, Sam held up his middle finger. “We die like lactose intolerant men,” he amended.

With a hum of agreement, Peter promptly leaned over and vomited into the trash can.

As Bruce moved in to rub Peter’s back while he heaved, and Sam got up to make another trip to the bathroom, Tony threw his hands up in the air and turned on his heels.

“That’s it,” he muttered as he walked out. “I have officially given up.

How to improve your digestion? | Dr Kanupriya Khanna

But our digestive system is very complex, even small negligence towards our digestive system can put us on the verge of having digestion problems. Some occasional digestion problems are constipation, heartburn or reflux, nausea and vomiting, bloating, etc.

So, it becomes very important to take care of our digestive system to have a healthy life. You can do it by following some precautions and making small changes in your daily lifestyle.

Tips to improve your digestion

Staying hydrated

It is very important to maintain an adequate amount of water level in your body. Although there is no fixed quantity of water intake as it differs from one person to another, on average drinking around 2–3 liters of water, every day is recommended.

If you find it difficult to drink enough water daily, you can try other water-based options like herbal teas, coconut water and infused water. Fruits and vegetables rich in fluid like tomatoes, cucumber, watermelons, and oranges should also be consumed.

Managing Stress

During stress, your body releases some stress hormones like corticosteroids and adrenaline which indirectly affect your digestive system. Therefore proper management of stress is very important to save yourself from digestive issues.

It can be done by:

-Doing some yoga or exercise daily.

-Doing meditation

-listening to music

– Good quality and quantity of sleep

Eating fiber-rich foods

Consuming a high-fiber diet like vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains can reduce your chances of constipation. It not only helps you in improving your digestion but also helps in maintaining a healthy weight, managing cholesterol and blood sugar levels of your body.

Chewing food properly improve Digestion

Proper chewing of food breaks down the food into smaller pieces thereby improving digestion and subsequently absorption of nutrients.

Considering lifestyle habits

Unhealthy lifestyle habits that can affect your gut include:

-Late-night eating: Eating your meal late at night and then instantly lying down to sleep causes heartburn and reflux. Therefore it is very important to avoid eating late at night. It also leads to weight gain.

-Alcohol and smoking: If you already have digestion issues and have a habit of smoking and drinking alcohol then you should know that it may create more risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal cancers.

Lactose intolerance

Dairy products contain a natural sugar known as lactose. It is better to avoid lactose-based foods like milk and milk products if you are intolerant to it.

Limiting high-fat foods

To improve your digestion you must limit the foods that can trouble your stomach and digestive system. Avoiding soda and deep-fried foods (French fries, chips, fritters) can be of great help.

Taking gut bacteria-friendly foods improve digestion

Taking gut-friendly foods can also improve your digestion. These are also known as probiotics and prebiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria that occur naturally in the food and are good for your digestion. Foods that contain probiotics naturally are Kefir, kimchi, yogurts, sauerkraut, etc.

Prebiotics are dietary fibers that allow the gut bacteria to produce nutrients for the colon cells leading to a healthier digestive system. Garlic, onions, bananas, and chicory roots are certain foods that are the source of prebiotic fiber for your body.

Spices and herbs

Some spices and herbs can help in improving digestion by stimulating the liver and activities of certain enzymes responsible for the digestion of food in your body. You can add spices and herbs like ginger, cardamom, turmeric, fenugreek, and various others to improve your digestion.
