*sitting in the cold with one sock on and my other foot is barefoot with no shoes on, looking pathetic and holding a sign that says*

"It only takes a few seconds of kindness to make someone's day, you could make my day in less than that.."

I'm panhandling for grocery money, seriously anything helps.. give what you can, it really makes a difference. It does.. even just a dollar helps. I wouldn't be sitting out here in the cold begging for change if I didn't need it - cash app: $euesworld and Venmo: euesworld

5 Things You Should Avoid After Eating for Better Health

After enjoying a hearty meal, it’s common to feel a bit sluggish. Many of us might even lie down to relax or watch TV. However, certain actions after eating can negatively impact our health. To help you maintain good digestion and overall well-being, here are five things you should avoid doing after a meal. Sleeping Right Away One of the most common mistakes people make is going to bed right…

Laios saying he's stronger and better organized than Shuro because he eats 3 meals every day and sleeps properly is probably one of the most encouraging things a fictional character has ever said to me

i want to take the time to talk about a series of disabilities that no one takes seriously or even recognizes as a disability, which is food intolerances, and allergies. if a person can get sick if they eat the wrong foods, they are disabled, as this illness will make them unable to function all because they ate the wrong food. it's not okay to guilt someone for seeking foods that won't injure them.

in 2022, i began to lose my ability to digest land meats (pork, chicken, cow, etc.), animal milks, and eggs. it started slowly but quickly progressed to every type of land meat. i am only able to digest seafood, plants, nuts, seeds safely without becoming horribly sick. i tried to buy cow's milk because it is cheaper recently and became so ill it was genuinely traumatic. i have never been that sick in my life before. i cannot safely ingest cow's milk, the cheaper option, because it will injure me for several days or even weeks at a time. this happens to me with all land meats as well.

i cannot eat eggs. i cannot fried rice that has egg, i cannot eat most sauces like mayo or ranch dressing because of their high egg content. i cannot eat anything dressed in mayo as a sauce. anything that is baked or brushed or washed with egg is a risk. my digestive system really hates eggs in particular and they are inescapable.

people who can't digest or process lactose, gluten, meats, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, beans, fiber, certain fats, proteins or sugars don't have their needs considered very often, nor taken seriously, especially when that person is poor. people with digestive issues need to be able to eat foods that don't hurt us- it's not our faults that alternative milks, breads, pizzas, snacks, sauces, dips, spreads, meats and more are significantly more expensive. we still need to be able to eat foods that don't harm us regardless of how much money we make.

What Are the Benefits of a Mediterranean Diet?

It’s been widely recognised for some time that populations living in the Mediterranean area tend to have less heart disease than those of northern Europe and the UK. Health experts believe that this is connected to the traditional Mediterranean diet enjoyed in these regions.

What Is the Mediterranean Diet?

A Mediterranean-style diet is typically high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans, nuts, cereals, grains, unsaturated fats (like olive oil) and fish. Limited amounts of meat and dairy foods are also consumed. Those in the Mediterranean eat more seafood – especially oily fish – compared to their counterparts in northern Europe.

The Health Benefits of the Mediterranean

Proponents of the Mediterranean diet, such as Raihane Hassaine, are aware of the many health benefits associated with this style of eating. As well as being linked to better heart heath, research into the Mediterranean diet has suggested it can also help prevent the development of type two diabetes, raised cholesterol and high blood pressure. Furthermore, those who follow this diet are less likely to become obese and more likely to live longer.

Foods to Restrict on a Mediterranean Diet

Those wishing to follow a Mediterranean diet should decrease their consumption of foods such as margarine, butter and lard; cakes, biscuits, pastries and confectionary; and refined white versions of bread, rice and pasta. The amount of processed meat (such as sausages and bacon), red meat, and high-fat cheese, milk and cream consumed should also be limited.

Following a Mediterranean Diet

Meals should be based on foods such as noodles, pasta, bread, chapatti, rice and yams –ideally, wholegrain varieties should be used, which are higher in fibre. Followers of a Mediterranean diet should aim to eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day, which are low in calories and rich in essential nutrients. White fish is low in calories and can therefore help with managing weight. While oily fish such as salmon tends to be higher in fat, it contains vitamin D and important omega-3 fats, so it’s great to incorporate.

When choosing nuts and nut butters, which are rich in monounsaturated fats, opt for unsalted varieties. Aim to eat around a handful of nuts (about 30-35 grams) a day.

As part of embracing an overall Mediterranean lifestyle, make time to get out into the sunshine every day for at least 30 minutes during the spring, summer and early autumn, and remember to apply sun protection as necessary.
