Fasting can offer numerous health benefits when done correctly. Here are some tips and tricks to help you fast effectively and safely:

Before the Fast

Plan Ahead: Choose the right type of fasting (e.g., intermittent fasting, extended fasting) and schedule it around your lifestyle and commitments.

Gradual Start: If you're new to fasting, start with shorter periods and gradually increase the duration.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before starting your fast to ensure you're well-hydrated.

Eat Nutrient-Dense Meals: Prioritize meals rich in protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you satiated longer.

Avoid Sugary Foods: Consuming high-sugar foods can lead to rapid blood sugar drops, making fasting more difficult.

During the Fast

Stay Hydrated: Drink water regularly. Herbal teas and black coffee are also good options.

Stay Busy: Engage in activities to keep your mind off food.

Listen to Your Body: If you feel dizzy, excessively fatigued, or unwell, break your fast and consult a healthcare professional.

Electrolyte Balance: Consider adding a pinch of salt to your water or drinking electrolyte solutions to maintain balance.

Gentle Exercise: Light activities like walking or yoga can be beneficial, but avoid strenuous workouts.

Breaking the Fast

Ease In: Start with small, easily digestible foods such as broth, smoothies, or fruits.

Avoid Overeating: Reintroduce food gradually to avoid digestive discomfort.

Balanced Meals: Include a mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs in your post-fast meals.

Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink water to help with digestion and rehydration.

General Tips

Consistency: Regular fasting can help your body adapt, making the process easier over time.

Monitor Your Health: Keep track of how your body responds to fasting and make adjustments as needed.

Consult a Professional: If you have any health conditions or concerns, seek advice from a healthcare provider before starting a fasting regimen.

Mindful Eating: When you do eat, practice mindful eating to enhance your relationship with food and recognize hunger cues.

Seniors are at a higher risk of malnutrition and dehydration, especially as their body goes through changes. Vitamins and supplements can boost and support their health, but some seniors refrain from taking oral medications as they may affect their sense of taste. Fortunately, IV infusion therapy offers a convenient alternative!

Achieving Harmony: The Vital Role of Electrolyte Balance in Your Body

Introduction: Enter the realm of electrolyte balance, where the delicate dance of ions orchestrates harmony within your body. As you embark on this journey, prepare to uncover the secrets of electrolytes, understand their pivotal role in maintaining health and vitality, and discover the key to achieving optimal balance. Join me as we dive into the world of electrolytes and unlock the pathway to wellness.

Content: Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, regulating nerve function, and supporting muscle contractions. Achieving and maintaining electrolyte balance is crucial for overall health and well-being, as even slight imbalances can lead to symptoms ranging from muscle cramps and fatigue to more serious complications like dehydration and electrolyte disorders.

Sodium: Sodium is the primary electrolyte found in extracellular fluid and plays a key role in regulating fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve function. However, excessive sodium intake can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems. Achieving a balance between sodium intake and excretion is essential for optimal health.

Potassium: Potassium is the major intracellular electrolyte and is essential for maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and heart health. Adequate potassium intake is associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risk of stroke and heart disease. Consuming potassium-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and legumes can help support electrolyte balance and overall health.

Magnesium: Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle function, and bone health. Adequate magnesium intake is essential for maintaining electrolyte balance and preventing symptoms like muscle cramps and fatigue. Consuming magnesium-rich foods like nuts, seeds, whole grains, and leafy greens can help ensure optimal magnesium levels.

Calcium: While calcium is often associated with bone health, it also plays a role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and hormone secretion. Maintaining adequate calcium levels is essential for electrolyte balance and overall health. Consuming calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods can help support calcium intake.

Conclusion: Electrolyte balance is essential for overall health and vitality, playing a crucial role in fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. By prioritizing electrolyte balance through a balanced diet and hydration, you can support optimal health and well-being. As the American author and entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." So nourish your body with electrolyte-rich foods and hydration, and let the symphony of electrolytes harmonize within you.

Call to Action: Ready to prioritize electrolyte balance and unlock the pathway to wellness? Start by incorporating electrolyte-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains into your diet. Additionally, stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks, especially during periods of increased physical activity or heat exposure. Whether you're striving for peak performance or simply aiming to feel your best every day, achieving electrolyte balance can be the key to unlocking your full potential. So embrace the power of electrolytes, nourish your body from within, and embark on a journey towards optimal health and vitality.

[galen-the-technomage]

Please do take care…🩷🤍🩵 They say (according to peer reviewed scholarly papers) not to push yourself when being hit with the long COVID fatigues.

Hydrate well with things like coconut water, watermelon juice, and electrolytes, if available, and perhaps try some supplements and remedies? I know you’re not looking for advise but my heart goes out to you. Please take it easy, and I hope your body will restore itself. Sending love and care.

ty friend! I've had suspected long COVID since the start of the pandemic (I never confirmed COVID because testing wasn't widely available yet) but unfortunately I get worse with subsequent reinfections. my most recent round was in early April and I annoyingly had a bad rebound about a month later.

I take a lot of vitamins and I sometimes try supplements that other people have found helpful but I think in cases like this I just have to wait it out. x.x unfortunately I have to keep working but I can do a lot of it from bed (and have been). I really need to learn that even sitting in my chair and watching/playing things is draining now though, even though it seems like a lazing activity under normal circumstances.

#he says he’s not lying or wouldn’t lie about that #do we need to clarify THAT into words again or … #idk I love him too man #he isn't lying about that #good omens tags by @justmori

This may very well get lost in the flood, but if you see this, I just wanted to say that there were a lot of things I thought I wanted for good omens 2 (a happy ending for one, of course!)

But my favourite thing that a writer can do to my experience of a story is to make me go "okay forget EVERYTHING I said before, this is the outcome I didn't know I needed." This show took my hopes and said "no u don't actually :) i got something better" and it had the audacity to be SO RIGHT.

The finale I *thought* I wanted would have probably had me giggling and kicking my feet and then moving on with my day while in a bright mood for a bit.

The finale I got had me absolutely devastated, inconsolable for maybe an hour, and then just...immediately rewatching. And talking about it behind a fortress of spoiler tags. And writing, and drawing, and being invested in theories and trying to find all the easter eggs and just...falling in love with the story and the characters all over again. And I can tell that feeling will stay with me for a whole lot longer than a couple days.

I'm bad at brevity, I apologize! This is just a very long-winded way to say thank you (and thank you to everyone else on the team) for giving us these idiots (affectionately) to have Way Too Many Feelings about!! Thank you for sharing them with us.

I'm running GO in the background, crossing my fingers and looking forward to a season 3—whether or not it'll be what I'm *hoping* for, I am just beyond excited for whatever story it is that you want to tell us, and I trust that whatever it is, it will be wonderfully told! 🩶🩶

(But also, please, for your consideration...I am in fact soft and innocent, I can only take so much damage before I cry myself to critical dehydration—do with that what you must, I shall leave my electrolyte balance in your hands and hope for mercy. You did say everything would be okay, and thankfully we all know a writer would never lie!)

I wouldn't lie about that, anyway.

Good information.

Also. Be aware that many medications and some vitamins and supplements mess with your electrolyte balances.

Be especially aware if you’re medicating for chronic migraines.

If you take magnesium supplements, especially higher doses, you will almost certainly need to supplement yourself with potassium and most likely sodium.

If you’re on migraine meds or magnesium and you find yourself incredibly thirsty but water isn’t helping, coconut water is a pretty good, easily-accessible source for potassium. Salt substitutes can also work. Adding a couple pinches of no-salt salt and regular salt to water can go a long way.

Sodium gets super vilified, but if you sweat a lot, you might need to increase your intake. I absolutely have had to.

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!

regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!

regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.

gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!

no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!

Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!

honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
