LITTLE WAYS TO LIVE HEALTHIER IN 2025

INCREASE YOUR N.E.A.T. Neat stands for non exercise activity thermogenesis. So, basically any daily activities we do when not exercising or sleeping. It's important for you to have a high N.E.A.T because it can be the difference between having a sedentary lifestyle or being moderately active. 

Ways to increase NEAT is to do more heavier chores everyday (vacuuming, mopping, dusting), taking the longer routes when walking, stand for 10 minutes each hour, pace back and forth while calling someone, march while you’re brushing your teeth, etc. 

DRINK HERBAL TEAS. Herbal teas can help you in a variety of areas of life, and are a great substitute for other processed beverages. 

ADD SUNLIGHT IN YOUR MORNING. Exposing yourself to sunlight early in the day helps with resetting the circadian rhythm, which in return helps for waking up easier and going to sleep easier. 

EAT WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS. You’ll savour your food so much more and it’ll be easier to tell when you’re satisfied. 

CREATE A PLAYLIST FOR WHEN YOU WIND DOWN. Once you get into the habit of listening to this playlist, it’ll become like a trigger to your body that it’s time to sleep because listening to that playlist  should be followed by settling into bed. 

 REGULARLY GO TO YOUR GP. Especially if you’re feeling a bit out of it. It is always better to make those regular visits and catch something before it becomes out of hand. 

STOP WAKING UP SO EARLY. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but waking up at 5am is unnecessary if not required. While I do believe that waking up earlier does have benefits, that extra hour of sleep probably has more. 

IF YOU’RE STRUGGLING, TAKE IT SLOWER. In this day and age, we don’t have time to process a lot of things. Everything is so fast paced, that if we fall behind, we tend to feel less than. 

Especially if you’re someone who can’t keep pace with the crowd due to disabilities or mental health. Take things at your own pace, and do what you can will yourself to do. 

GET SPIRITUAL. Lots of studies show that people who commit themselves to their beliefs are a lot happier in life than those who don’t. This doesn’t mean that you have to commit to a religion yet, but I would explore your spirituality side and see what  resonates with you. 

WEAR YOUR SPF. Skin cancer is no joke, and our earth is only getting hotter. Protect yourself, including your body! 

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE. People who radiate love and are always looking for the goodness around them, that rubs off on you and in return you’ll develop similar traits. Being with them will stimulate growth in all aspects of your life. 

I'm not telling anyone to ‘fix’ anyone, but it means a lot to other people if you can be that person in their life. It's a very rewarding and fulfilling lifestyle.  

TAKE MAKEUP BREAKS REGULARLY. Give your skin a break from products, and ideally take a week off each month to spend it makeup free. You’re saving time and your skin. 

ADD IN FRUITS, HERBS OR LEMON IN YOUR WATER. This will help with extra hydration and improve digestion. 

PRIORITISE FIBRE. As much as protein is good for you, fibre has just as much importance but it's not as heavily prioritised. Ideally, half of your meal should be fibres. However, that can be a hard change for some people, so start with having it on the side. 

It's great if you can incorporate ‘hidden’ fibre into your meals as well!

CURATE YOUR SPACE TO SUIT YOU. Add in little notes of reminders or quotes, place around photos or awards of your achievements, remove anything that impacts you negatively. You want the area that you’re in 24/7 to support that growth, not stifle it. 

Keep your area clean and decluttered as well. Try to minimise the amount of stuff that you have. You only need one of each thing, two is one too many. Having too much clutter affects the clarity of your mind.

it is numbered oddly because of the way I pasted this from google docs to tumblr. apologies!

୨ৎ absolute necessities .ᐟ

if you're trying to glow up, get healthier, etc, these are the very basics that you absolutely NEED to follow!

01, WATER .ᐟ

Staying hydrated is crucial for your health and wellbeing. While the recommended daily intake is 8 cups of water, you can gradually increase your consumption over a few weeks if that seems too overwhelming. Drinking enough water provides numerous benefits, from clearing skin and flushing out waste, to boosting exercise performance and supporting weight loss. Despite being the very essence that sustains life, water is often underappreciated.

02, FOOD .ᐟ

I used to skip breakfast, thinking it would help me lose weight. However, studies show that those who eat breakfast tend to lose more weight and keep it off longer. The truth is, food is incredibly important. It's best to regulate your eating habits by consuming at least 3 meals per day, even if they're only small portions. Some food is better than no food. If you want to go on a diet, that's fine! but make sure you research healthy dieting methods. At a minimum, eat one serving of fruits and vegetables daily, and try to increase that to five servings per day if possible. Proper nutrition is key for your overall health.

03, HOBBIES .ᐟ

i have this previous post regarding hobbies you could try! It's so important to find fun activities that you genuinely enjoy and look forward to doing. Hobbies add fun to your life and pose as a nice break from technology and the stress of work and school. They also greatly improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. You could do some physical activity, such as a sport you like, or something more calm and creative, like painting or writing.

04, SLEEP .ᐟ

a lot of people struggle to fall asleep at a decent time. Try getting ready for bed early. Personally, I tend to take off my make up and do my skincare immediately after i come home for school/work so i don't have to worry about it before bed.

Technology is probably your sleeping schedule's worst enemy, as the blue light from the screen keeps your brain awake, so try to pause screen-related activities at least an hour before bed. Also, try not to snack 2 - 4 hours before you go to sleep. This is because lying down makes it harder for your body to digest food, which can result in sleeplessness.

Forcing yourself to go to bed super early isn't helpful either. Like I've mentioned in my other points, take things slow and gradual!

05, SOCIALIZATION .ᐟ

Engaging in simple social interactions, such as conversing with family, seeing friends, or greeting people on the street, is incredibly important. Isolating yourself in your room all day accomplishes nothing.

There was a time when I dreaded spending time with friends, convinced I lacked the energy or mood. However, once I forced myself to make plans, I realized how much I genuinely enjoyed their company. Other people are what make life truly worthwhile. So why not reach out to a friend right now and invite them to hang out tomorrow?

06, ACTIVITY .ᐟ

you don't need an exercise routine if you don't want one, but simple physical activity is still a daily necessity! At least 30 minutes is recommended. Personally, i most enjoy plugging in my headphones and going on a walk around my neighbourhood for an hour or two.

07, SELF TALK .ᐟ

Arguably one of my most important points, quit the self-deprecating talk. You never realize how much it affects you until you quit it. Yes, you can absolutely get that assessment done. Yes, you are a likable and amazing person. Just keep affirming and reminding yourself that you are worthy, and you will attract so many good things. Trust me, it will help you so much in the long run.

[adviceformefromme]

Investing in yourself isn’t always fun. And it isn’t always lip filler, new clothes, and botox. It’s getting the dental work done to the tooth that’s causing you pain. It’s working through your digestive issues. It’s making sure you’re hydrated throughout the day. It’s an inside job first and foremost. It’s an act of self love. As you write your new year lists of all the external upgrades to your life .. new shoes, new handbag etc etc check in and see what are the inner upgrades needed first. It might look like going to see the hygenist with the money you would use for your sculpting facial, trading in your nail appointment for acupuncture. Only you will truly know the investments you’ve made that no one see’s, and these are the most important.

having silly thoughts about human reader’s tummy grumbling and the cookies being able to feel it in the ground

then human reader being red in the face from embarrassment and cookies becoming wary of them like they’re a starving beast that can’t control themselves when hungry

does make me think about how long it’d take for a human in the cookie world to start to feel hungry or thirsty. like if time between human world and cookie world would be different 🤔

Hmm...that is interesting to think about too. I think someone once said that time for cookies passes differently because the ancients are still alive despite the dark flour war happening "years and years" ago. Plus, some of them comment about how they feel young again or how they are getting older but wiser. Someone said that maybe for the witches, a long long time is simply a few years. Like the witches banquet is 1 year in human lifetimes and 1,000 in cookie lifetimes. It's kinda similar how dogs live shorter lives in comparison to humans in a way. It also doesn't help when cookies can grow up in a matter of months, like with the "mycookie" character story. They go from being a baby, to a child, to a young adult in the span of a few months. They are still small in the story, but the obvious assumption that cookies age faster is still there. For the digestion and thirst question, I think the best way to speculate this theory is by utilizing something called the "size effect" and a difference to metabolic rates. Typically, large creatures tend to live longer than smaller ones, both in the way of the food chain and just survival altogether, but a larger body = more energy needed to run it. So, lets take the environment in for a moment that our human subject can eat. For that, the answer is everything.

The trees are roll cakes, the rocks are sugar cubes, and hell--even the building materials are edible! Plus, and the most obvious answer, the residents of the world are also edible. Be it cookies or cake monsters. The human is in a perfectly sustainable environment where they can pick and choose what they want to eat, as the world itself was created with the idea that humans/witches are on top of the food chain. Humans are omnivores, so we aren't shy about eating pretty much anything, if morals or personal beliefs don't restrict you from consuming certain things. So, as a result of this, the human would probably need to eat at least every other day to keep their metabolic rate in check, as they are also a warm-blooded mammal and we process food much faster than cold-blooded animals do. Drinking would be of little issue, as there are underground milk rivers, hydrating jellies, and (maybe) the waters themselves. Plus, berries are a good source of hydration too. In a way, staying hydrated would be more important, as dehydration is more likely to kill you than starving would. Food is pretty abundant and the human could just get up and leave for a while to go hunting on their own or just to forage if they feel pretty merciful/bad about eating any creature. Still, it doesn't stop the human from at least looking like this every once in a while when they get tired of eating the same thing and a rather aggressive cake monster decides to attack them...

During the healing process, Whumpee needed many things, both for physical and mental healing. What are they?

Rest. Of course. There is no need to explain anymore. A good rest would restore Whumpee's body and mind after all his stress and suffering.

Calmness. From the environment and the people around Whumpee. Apart from the hospital, an isolation house far from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic city would be a good place to support Whumpee's recovery. Maybe a Caretaker's house would be better.

Medical. Medication is consumed to support healing (antibiotics, vitamins, painkillers, etc.). Medical equipment was used during the treatment and healing period. Professional medical personnel will care for Whumpee until he is completely healed.

Foods high in nutrition. Of course, it's easy to digest. Healthy food usually doesn't taste good, but it's the Caretaker's job to make the food able to whet Whumpee's appetite.

Water. There is no need to ask. Hydration is very important for Whumpee's body as it recovers.

Snack. Taking medicine every day definitely makes Whumpee bored. A little snack will help. The cookies, candy, or chocolate that Whumpee eats after swallowing the bitter medicine will make him smile.

Fresh air and morning sunshine. Many people say that fresh air and morning sunlight are also good medicine for recovery. Taking a breath and basking in the cool of the morning would be great for Whumpee.

Clean clothes. Replace every two times a day.

Bathe. Bathing in the morning and evening makes the body fresh and clean. Maybe at first, Caretaker won't immediately pour water but will wipe Whumpee's body with soapy water.

Straighten hair. Maybe cut it when Whumpee starts to get better. Apart from making it look fresher, Whumpee will also feel comfortable.

Comfort items. Plusies, stuffed animals, pillows, blankets, photos, scent, or anything else that can keep Whumpee calm and comfortable during the recovery period.

A change of scenery during recovery will also be helpful. Occasionally moving Whumpee to the living room, sitting him in the dining room, accompanying him on the terrace, or taking him to sit on the grass in the garden will make Whumpee feel better.

Light and pleasant conversation. Don't expect to be able to interrogate Whumpee during the recovery period if you don't want to be shouted at by Caretaker.

Touch. Whumpee is definitely touch-starved. A holding hand, a caress on the cheek, a stroking of the hair, a light kiss on the forehead, a hug, or a backrest when sitting will be what Whumpee really needs.

Calming sentences. Simple sentences that make Whumpee feel safe, such as "It's okay, you're safe", "I'm here", "no one will hurt you anymore", "I will take care of you", "it was just a dream, it's all over", "just rest, don't think about anything", "go to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up", "you did a good job", "I'm proud of you", "thank you for coming back to me," "I'm happy you are here," "I love you," and others.

Caretaker. There is no need to ask. Caretaker is the "medicine" that Whumpee needs most for his healing.

🎀Diets And Challenges🎀

~how to reach your dream body~

There are hundreds if not thousands of diets. Some work better for your body, some don’t. I summed them up for you, so you can choose and try.

Especially now that there are many people trying out challenges like '75 days hard' it is important to find a diet and follow through

First: what is 75 days hard?

~2 workouts a day: one inside, one outside

~read 10 pages of a non-fiction book

~certain amount of hydration (2-3,5l of water, depending on height etc)

~progress pictures

~and most importantly, to follow a certain diet strictly

So here are several diets for you to follow:

1. Clean Girl Diet

~my absolute favorite

This diet is about mindful and balanced eating. It includes nutrient-rich and minimal processed foods and it’s mostly about a whole lifestyle, rather than a strict diet

Here are the key principles:

~whole, unprocessed foods (fruits, veggies, lean protein, whole grains, healthy fats. Avoid processed or packaged food with added sugars, preservatives and artificial ingredients)

~hydration

~balanced meals (protein, healthy fats, complex carbs, fiber)

~Portion Control

~minimal sugar

!~consistency over restriction

2. High Protein Diet

~mainly for muscle build and recovery after training, as well as fat loss

~eat eggs, chicken, turkey, lean beef, fish, Greek yogurt, tofu, lentils

~Limit simple carbs, sugary foods and excessive fats

3. Vegan Or Plant-Based Diet

~improve your digestion and loose or maintain your weight

~avoid: all animal products (that’s it)

~pay attention to the calories, because vegan alternatives can be high in calories, they might make you gain weight when you’re not careful

4. Carnivore Diet

~weight loss, mental clarity, tho it can be restrictive. It’s high-protein, high-fat and consists of animal-based products only

~allowed: Meat, fish, eggs, butter and some dairy (optional)

~avoid: vegetables, fruits, grains and sugar (!)

~Stricter Diets~

-I avoided talking about these because they can reach the wrong community. Yet sometimes there are people who need to loose a certain amount of weight in a short period of time.

~they are meant for a few days only (3 days to 1 week, max. 2 weeks). Make sure to take vitamins to not face hair loss, break outs and other symptoms

1. IU‘s Diet

~breakfast: 1 Apple

~lunch: 1 sweet potato two, depending on size

~Dinner: 1 Protein Shake

2. Suzy‘s 'Time-Limited' Diet

~breakfast: chicken breast and sweet potato

~lunch: brown rice and salad

~Dinner: two sweet potato’s

+avoid eating after 6/7pm

3. HyunAs Detox Diet

~breakfast: a salad with light dressing

~lunch: steamed chicken breast or fish with veggies

~Dinner: smoothie or detox juice

💗these diets focus on clean eating, low calories and high-protein foods. A quick weight loss can cause a regain of the lost weight afterwards or trigger your emotionally.

So I ALWAYS will support building healthy habits and becoming disciplined without insane restrictions.

💗my first advice will forever be the clean girls diet. It’s simple, effective and cleans everything in your life, not only your diet.

!!!become the best version of yourself and for that, your body must be healthy. Food is fuel. It’s not bad and not a treat.

~love you

⚕️Post-Regeneration Management

Regenerating can be extremely confusing for the helper. Here’s a guide for monitoring and management following this rather traumatic experience. When in doubt, just WHAM it out!

BIGGER - Google Drive: PDF / Image JPG / Image PNG

This guide is for use on Gallifreyans and Time Lords only. Always seek your human advice from human health providers.

❓Why is Post-Regeneration Care Important?

Regeneration puts immense strain on the body. Supporting a Gallifreyan through this adjustment period ensures a smoother recovery and reduces the risk of complications like hyperartronosis, prolonged PRT, or a couple of limbs in the wrong places.

So when in doubt, just WHAM it out.

✨ What is Post-Regenerative Trauma (PRT)?

Post-Regenerative Trauma (PRT) is one of the most common complications faced by Gallifreyans immediately after regeneration. While a lot of regenerations are smooth and require no intervention, PRT can introduce a messy mix of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that need careful monitoring and management.

📝 How to Perform Post-Regeneration Management

🩺 Step 1: Work the Environment

Creating a calming and supportive environment is the foundation of post-regeneration care:

Position: Ensure the patient lies flat on a comfortable surface with their head slightly elevated. This promotes circulation and minimises strain.

Environment: Reduce sensory input by minimising noise and dimming lights.

Room Temperature: Maintain at 17°C, a temperature close to Gallifreyan norms, to reduce the need for homeostatic mechanisms.

Nutrition: Offer light, easily digestible food and hydrating fluids. Avoid overly rich or sugary foods.

🌟 Step 2: Highlight Concerns

Before diving into care, establish the patient's condition using the GASS tool. The GASS tool not only helps assess the patient's immediate condition but also highlights conditions like sepsis or healing coma onset.

Act according to the protocols outlined by GASS before assessing for PRT.

📊 Step 3: Analyse Symptoms

Symptoms include:

Mild: Energy bursts, energy deficit, food cravings, weakness, lethargy, mild pain.

Moderate: Fainting, spasms, confusion, amnesia, impulsiveness, moderate pain.

Severe: Delirium, energy expulsion, seizure, coma (not healing), severe pain.

Count the symptoms and categorise them using the following traffic light system:

GREEN (1–2 mild symptoms)

ORANGE (3–4 mild or 1–2 moderate symptoms)

RED (3+ moderate or 1 severe symptom)

Breaking down symptoms by severity ensures caregivers can act quickly and appropriately to prevent escalation.

⚠️ Step 4: Move to Action

Once the level of concern is determined, take action:

GREEN

There is no escalation required. Reassess every 2-4 hours. If there are any changes, reinstigate GASS monitoring and recognition of PRT symptoms.

ORANGE

Increase GASS monitoring to every 15–30 minutes, or as deemed clinically appropriate.

Start eyes-on observations for the patient's safety and to monitor and track changes.

Supervise the patient during activities, but actively encourage rest.

Administer mild to moderate pain relief if needed.

RED

Continue frequent monitoring, eyes-on observations and strict supervision at all times.

Encourage a healing coma if the patient is lucid and able to selectively do so.

Consider securing the patient to prevent injury or choking during spasms or seizures.

Consider supplemental oxygen at 10L/min, titrated carefully according to need.

If available, move to a Zero Room or their symbiotically linked TARDIS for advanced stabilisation.

Escalate care to a Gallifreyan medic if symptoms persist for 12+ hours or worsen.

🌌 Advanced: Additional Notes on Moulding

The first 8 weeks post-regeneration involve a process called moulding, during which the new body adjusts and stabilises. You may see changes in hair length, skin details, or even eye colour. This is normal.

📌 Key Points to Remember

Customised Care: Every regeneration is unique. Tailor your approach to the Gallifreyan's needs.

Monitor Closely: Use GASS and the traffic light system to guide your decisions.

Minimise Stimuli: A calm environment is critical for recovery.

Escalate When Needed: Severe symptoms require immediate attention and possibly external support.

The foods you eat provide essential nutrients that your body needs and the right choices can help protect against digestive health issues such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Key Aspects of a Gut-Healthy Diet:

Fiber-Rich Foods: Foods high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, support healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation.

Fermented Foods: Including foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir in your diet can introduce beneficial bacteria (probiotics) to your gut, supporting a balanced microbiome.

Lean Proteins and Healthy Fats: Opt for lean protein sources like fish, chicken, and legumes, and healthy fats from sources like avocado, nuts, and olive oil. These foods are easier on the digestive system and can help maintain digestive balance.

Foods for a Healthy Digestive System:

To prevent gastrointestinal disorders, it's important to focus on nutrient-dense foods that nourish the digestive tract. Include the following in your diet:

Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli for their high fiber content.

Berries, which are rich in antioxidants and fiber.

Ginger and turmeric, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to soothe the stomach.

Coconut and olive oils, are gentle on the digestive tract and help absorb nutrients efficiently.

A healthy, well-balanced diet with these gut health tips 2025 can ensure a strong, resilient digestive system and help you reduce the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.

2. Exercise and Gut Health Connection

Physical activity does more than just keep you fit; it also plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy digestive system. Regular exercise helps promote healthy gut motility, meaning food moves through the intestines more effectively, reducing the chances of constipation and improving overall gut health.

How Exercise Benefits Digestion:

Increased Blood Flow: Increased Blood Flow: Exercise boosts blood circulation, allowing better nutrient absorption and helping the digestive organs work more efficiently.

Promotes Healthy Bowel Movements: Regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or yoga, can help regulate bowel movements and reduce bloating, which can prevent discomfort and digestive issues.

Stress Reduction: Exercise is also known to reduce stress levels, which can have a significant impact on digestive health. High stress can contribute to conditions like acid reflux and IBS.

Ways to Improve Digestion Through Exercise:

Aerobic activities such as brisk walking or cycling can stimulate the intestines, promoting regular digestion.

Yoga offers a great way to relieve stress while improving digestion through specific poses that massage the abdominal organs.

Strength training can also support digestive health by improving muscle tone and reducing bloating.

Making exercise a part of your routine is one of the best gut health tips for 2025, and it helps you maintain gut health naturally while reducing the risk of gastrointestinal disorders.

3. Avoiding Stress for Better Digestion

Stress is a common culprit behind many digestive problems. The gut-brain connection is a powerful link that can either help or hinder your digestive system. When you're stressed, your body enters a "fight-or-flight" mode, which diverts energy away from digestive functions, leading to problems like indigestion, acid reflux, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

How Stress Affects Your Digestion:

Slowed Digestion: Stress can cause your digestive system to slow down, leading to issues like constipation and bloating.

Acid Reflux: Stress can increase acid production in the stomach, leading to heartburn and acid reflux.

Increased Inflammation: Stress contributes to inflammation in the digestive system, which can worsen conditions like IBD and gastritis.

So I found out today that not everyone knows about breathing steam when you have a bad cough (especially bronchitis) or congestion. I talked to two or three people just today who didn’t know about it.

All you do is fill a bowl (like a soup bowl) with hot water (boiling or near boiling - pour carefully) and then sit with it at a table and drape a kitchen towel over your head and the bowl to trap the steam. Breathe deeply for about 10 minutes (or 3-5 minute chunks if that’s uncomfortable for you)

Bonus: if you have bay leaves, throw one or two in the bowl before adding the hot water. They really help clear you up.

This is best done at night before you go to bed, especially if you have a cough that gets worse at night or when you’re laying down. The steam helps soothe irritated tissues and clears out your sinuses.

It’s also really important to stay hydrated, and drinking warm or hot water can be much more soothing than cold water. Warm water can even aid in digestion if you’re having stomach issues with whatever bug you have.

Bearded dragon substrate, humidity, and diet.

Inspired by @kaijutegu's recent post, let’s talk about calcium sand.

So, calcium sand, and substrate in general, has been attributed to impaction in bearded dragons (and other reptiles, but for this post, we’re just focusing on dragons.) However, while some substrates are more natural choices than others, and as such are more digestible, substrate itself is typically not the root cause of impaction. Improper husbandry such as dehydration, improper lighting, diet and supplementation all negatively impact the digestive system as well as the body in general, and the problems only compact when these factors are stacked together.

Firstly, lets look at a bearded dragons natural habitat. This video courtesy of the veterinarian Jonathon Howard, known online as the Beardie Vet, shows the texture of the substrate that wild dragons live on. The sand is loose on top but packed underneath. The grain size is about 96% fine sand.

Next, lets look at this map.

This map courtesy of Claire Jaworski overlays wild bearded dragon sightings from iNaturalist over a soil composition map of Australia. Note how many of the sightings are found in Calsisol zones. Calsisol (also known as calcarosol) zones are characterized by containing 15% or more calcium carbonate. We know that bearded dragons engage in geophagy, or intentionally eating substrate. This is likely a natural behavior that they would perform in the wild to fulfill their biological need for calcium. We provide calcium as a supplement so that they do not perform this behavior in captivity (however this is not the only vitamin we should be providing!!!)

Next we should consider humidity, as there is not much standing water in their natural habitat, as well as diet, which they also obtain water from.

Contrary to popular belief, the natural habitat of bearded dragons has a very wide range of humidity, both throughout the day and throughout the year. When they are found basking, the humidity typically ranges between 10-30%. However, the morning after rain can be around 60%.

According to these maps, which measured the humidity of Australia over the course of 30 years, many dragons would be found in areas that range between 50-70% humidity in the morning and 20-40% at 3 in the afternoon.

It is also important to note that dragons are frequently found in burrows when not out and about. In these burrows, the humidity can be higher than the surrounding air.

As far as diet, this entire post is just a fantastic resource, again, courtesy of the Beardie Vet. In the wild, adult female dragons would be ingesting 48% plant matter in their diet, with males ingesting 68%. As far as moisture content, “Most plants/herbs are around 85% water – herbage 80% water, flowers observed eating >90% water; Insects are about 65% water – Termites 60% water, crickets 67% water.”

Bearded dragons, while they do not spend a lot of time drinking, are dependent on both the natural humidity cycle and their diet to stay hydrated. It is not natural to maintain a humidity of 30% or lower all year round, and compounded with poor diet and lack of access to water, can lead to dehydration, which in turn disrupts the digestive system’s ability to do its job.

So let's bring it back. Bearded dragons are naturally found on substrate with calcium in it. If you look at Zoomed or Fluker’s calcium supplement, for example, you will see that they are calcium carbonate. If you look at the ingredients for T-Rex, RepTerra or Komodo’s calcium sand, all are made with the exact same calcium carbonate.

So what’s the problem? The problem is, in the absence of poor husbandry, the ratio. Remember that Calsisol is 15% or more calcium carbonate. Well, most bags of calcium sand are 100% calcium carbonate. They should not be used straight, instead mixed together with other safe substrates such as children's play sand, excavator clay, and pesticide and fertilizer-free topsoil to create a natural and safe substrate mixture. The proper substrate will not only allow them to create burrows like they would in the wild, it will allow females a safe place to lay eggs (which they can do even without the presence of a male), help retain heat, and keep humidity at normal levels, as well as provide natural enrichment.

Here's my most doable method to stop a TRUE b¡nge in the middle 🧡

(aimed at victims of BED, not restricters who are disappointed in themselves for consuming a thing or four - although it might help you too 🤷🏼)

If it feels like you CANNOT stop eating yet, don't, but start doing something else to stimulate and soothe yourself. Take a bite large enough to keep you occupied so you can set up, and take breaks to take another if you need.

1: Gather a little more food, ideally on a dish.

2: Get a drink, ideally water.

3: Carry your food and drink to another room, close the door, settle in.

4: Put on music, a video or show, audiobook, start reading, perform a stim, reach out to a friend, WHATEVER you want to be doing instead of binging.

5: Continue eating from the food you bought while you get into your activity. Try to focus more on the activity. That's right, abandon mindful eating for now!!

6: Hopefully, as you take your last bites, you're feeling calmer and at least partly distracted now.

7: Rinse your mouth with water and drink a little, but not a lot. You'll keep sipping on it here and there for a bit, because hydration is so important to help you digest and minimize discomfort, and keeping your mouth fresh and cleaning out the taste of food will help you get eating more out of mind.

8: You can also chew some gum now! If you need extra stimulation from it, you can chew multiple pieces to fill your mouth more.

9: Focus on your activity, and seriously, shift gears mentally! No €D media, edblr, mukbangs, anything like that, and DON'T try to track your cals from the binge yet. It can wait.

It will be ok. You will be ok.

An 800 cal binge is better than 1,500. 2,000 cals IS better than 3,000. 3,000 is better than 5,000. And so on. I'm proud of you for trying and stopping when you were able to, and you SHOULD BE TOO, because it is NOT a small feat.

And for the record? I am writing this with two pieces of gum in my mouth, a bottle of water next to me, a project open on my desk, and a minor binge behind me. You are not alone, and neither am I, even if we feel like it, we are not alone. It will be ok.

Fasting tips for longer fasts.

Someone requested tips for people who do longer fasts. Idk if this will help or not I might add more later, hope it helps. <3

Before the Fast

Hydrate well: Drink plenty of water the day before.

Eat whole foods: Choose high-fiber, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense meals before the fast to help you feel full longer.

Avoid sugar and refined carbs: These can spike your hunger later.

During the Fast

Drink water constantly – Helps with hunger, energy, and staying focused.

Herbal teas (peppermint, green tea, or ginger) – Calm the stomach and reduce cravings.

Black coffee or matcha – Can suppress appetite, but don’t overdo caffeine, and use low cal milk or no milk.

Stay busy – Distract yourself with light activities, reading, walking, painting nails, cleaning your room, or a hobby.

Low-intensity movement – Gentle walks or stretching can ease restlessness.(Yoga/ meditate)

Salt or electrolytes – A pinch of salt in water or sugar-free electrolyte tablets can prevent headaches, lightheadedness, or fatigue during longer fasts.

Mindfulness or journaling – Writing down your reasons or how you’re feeling can help manage urges and stay focused.

Important Notes

Don’t ignore dizziness or nausea – Break the fast if you feel faint, sick, or too weak.

Don’t force it – If you’re feeling unwell, it’s okay to eat. Listening to your body is more important than hitting a number.

Fasting isn’t for everyone – Some people experience increased stress or obsessive thoughts. If that’s the case, other gentle habits might be more helpful.

Break the Fast Gently

Start with a small portion (e.g., broth, fruit, steamed veggies).

Avoid a large, heavy meal — it can shock your digestive system and cause serious discomfort or illness.

Gradually work back to normal meals over 1–2 days.

how to create a good morning routine

in comparison to a night routine, a good morning routine should be a bit more intensive. the morning should be the time of day where you get the most important or off-putting tasks on your to do list out of the way. there's two different approaches i would take to creating a morning routine, depending on if you're used to waking up on time, or if you have trouble getting out of bed.

the big question:

what do you want to get out of your morning routine? do you want more productive hours in the day? do you want more time to spend with yourself? find your answer and make sure it's a good one. if you don't have a reason that's good enough to get you out of bed, you won't.

the benefits of a morning routine:

starting the day off on the right foot. you have time to regulate yourself and get ready without missing any steps. feeling organized and prepared for the day will help your overall mood as the day goes on. a good morning routine should reduce the stress you feel in your daily life.

punctuality. you know what you need to do, what order to do it in and you're leaving the house on time. many of us have a habit of running late. it's rude and gives the impression that you're unreliable. being on time should always be a priority.

more free time later in the day. you could have more time for self improvement, leisure or picking up new projects if you set up your morning properly.

how to plan a morning routine:

how much time do you have? make sure you have a clear picture of how long you have to run through your morning routine and how much of that time it takes to get ready.

choose what your first activity of the day is. once you've turned off your alarm, you need to stay out of bed. if you have faith in your discipline already, exercise or chores should be first on the list. if you're still adjusting to early mornings or you just prefer a more laid back morning, make yourself an easy breakfast and watch a show or a youtube video. make sure your first activity is something that will get you out of bed, and is not so overwhelming that you're tempted to press snooze.

choose what the last activity of your morning routine is. this needs to be something that will take pressure off the rest of your day. it can change from day to day too, as long as you know what it is by the day before. if you're behind on emails, this is your chance. if you have a speech that's not well enough practiced, practice it. use this time slot to change the mood of your day for the better, get the worst out of the way.

write out a schedule. this can always change later, but you need an idea of what you're aiming for. be realistic in how long it takes to get things done.

example morning routine:

6.00am - 6.30am: yoga

6.30am - 7.30am: shower, skincare, get dressed, do hair and makeup

7.30am - 8.00am: breakfast

8.00am - 9.00am: revise for quiz

9.00am: leave house

other tips:

try to stay off your phone for the first hour of the day. this is to minimize distraction and to make you less dependent on social media. you don't need a rush of dopamine first thing in the morning.

try to drink a glass of water before you go for coffee. being well hydrated helps you stay awake and alert and is a lot kinder to your digestive system than coffee. in addition, caffeine is a diuretic so it's important to drink a lot of water with it.

make sure your breakfast is satisfying in order to maintain energy levels throughout the day. go for protein and fats over carbs first thing in the morning (fats especially if you're taking supplements, several nutrients absorb better when taken with fat). that being said, don't avoid carbs. add a low gi option such as fruit, steel cut oats or certain breads (most grocery stores have low gi options for bread).

most importantly, cater your morning routine to you. being productive might be less important to you than curling your hair just right, or taking your dog for a walk might improve your mood better than getting ahead of your emails. it's your day and you know what will make it good. honour yourself and enjoy your morning.
