#broccoli extract

sustaining myself with subway soup…

[localcryptideli]

My mother's nutritionist literally encouraged her to grill every vegetable instead of boiling it or just boiling it (even non-raw leafy greens, if they must be boiled, like broccoli, then they need to be pan grilled afterwards), with a bit of garlic and olive oil usually, and sometimes chilli. Apparently not only it doesn't make them less healthy, but it's overall more healthy to consume them that way than just boiling it, something something about the way of cooking it helping boost things and make sure your body absorbs all the nutrition and gets your organs well in motion to break everything down with less issues.

I also heard of multiple nutritionists who both teach you the right food combo to get the most out of a meal (taste included but also nutrients wise), as well as encouraging their patients to have a least a fried food meal (how friend depends on the person I think) a week, I think it has something something with activating the liver and intestine properly? These are also the same people who usually help patients who need to maintain a certain diet for health reasons (chemotherapy, surgery, colon disorders, allergies etc.)

But yeah, healthy doesn't necessarily mean boring or lacking taste, from my experience usually the opposite.

Broccoli Extract Powder

Broccoli extract is an active ingredient extracted from Brassica broccoli of the genus Brassica, which contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, carotene and other nutrients. In addition, it also contains isothiocyanate, flavonoids ( Flavonoids) and volatile oils and other pharmacological components. It can enhance the detoxification ability of the liver and improve the body’s immunity. The flavonoids contained in it can regulate and prevent hypertension and heart disease.

Not a sex question, not a horoscope question! You always share really good recipes, made any good baked goods recently? (You don't even have to share the recipe, you just talk about food in a way that's very fun to read even if it's short and simple, very fantasy author, 😊)

WOW what a cool and kind thing to say, thank you :3

I have two baked goods on the brain right now, both of which I'm still grappling with a bit re: recipe

I made some savory scones the other day to use up the last of some goat cheese and spinach, because otherwise both would end up getting tossed and that seemed a terrible waste. the flavor is unfortunately pretty underwhelming, I suspect because the portions of both spinach and goat cheese were too negligible to make much impact. such is life when you're baking to use up leftovers, I fear. not everything can be an instant winner like my bacon broccoli cheddar scones.

I do think they're pretty saveable, with some minor tweaks. more of the spinach and cheese, obviously, and make a contrasting third flavor. for some reason I can't help thinking some ham would be a good addition? or, in a wildly different direction, cranberries. a light egg wash to improve the color would also be nice on an aesthetic level, because they came out pretty damn sickly. if I went the ham route and really doubled down on the savory I'd probably work some garlic into the egg for a little extra flavor.

the other is more of an ongoing project re: improving a cookie recipe. a well-known internet chef shared a sprinkle-coated cookie recipe that's fun but wildly too sweet for me, personally, so I've been paring that down and trying to add a little nuance to the recipe beyond just SUGAR. I cut the chocolate candy, subbed in almond extract for vanilla to change up the flavor, and added oats pretty much entirely for texture because I, personally, like oaty cookies. right now my final hurdle is locking down exactly how long these things need to bake for a satisfying chewiness; the answer unfortunately keeps turning out to be "less time than I thought."

rest assured, that recipe will be posted up here as soon as I lock it down, because I'm pretty proud of this thing.

"Isn't it a bit early for this?" you asked, carrying a hefty bag of decorations while Eric managed two mini Christmas trees.

"Nothing's too early to get into the Christmas spirit!" Eric insisted cheerfully. He placed the two miniature trees on the floor, motioning for you to set the bag next to him. Retrieving his phone from his pocket, he began to play his Christmas playlist. "And besides, is it really too early to start decorating?"

"I suppose not," you replied, settling down beside him on the floor, sitting the bag of ornaments between you. As you began unpacking the decorations, it was evident that Eric had once again gone overboard with the purchases. You gave him a teasing look, prompting a chuckle from him. "Enough for next year!" he quipped.

"We've got plenty to work with," you remarked, extracting the last package. "So, what's the plan after we finish decorating these?"

"Hmm... how about we each decorate one for the other? You can take mine home," suggested Eric.

"That's a good idea," you replied, grabbing a silver ornament and smirking at Eric. "Mine will definitely outshine yours."

"Really? We will see about that," Eric chuckled. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Eric reached for a vibrant red ribbon and playfully waved it in the air. "Let's see who can make the most eye-catching tree."

You both instantly were focused on trying to make the best trees, playfully bickering when the other would take an ornament the other person wanted. As the trees began to take shape, you stole a glance at Eric's tree and couldn't help but stifle a silent chuckle.

“What are you laughing about?” he asked, raising his eyebrow slightly.

“Why does your tree look like a broccoli?” you teased.

"A broccoli?!" Eric exclaimed in sheer disbelief, his reaction making you double over in laughter as you clutched your stomach. You nodded in affirmation, causing Eric to vehemently disagree with your observation. "It doesn't—wait, now that you say that..."

"See!" you interjected, a playful grin on your face.

"Listen, it's not done yet! Just trust the process!" Eric defended his tree with a laugh, determined to transform the broccoli-like appearance into a splendidly decorated miniature Christmas tree.

Amid the banter and laughter, you both finally completed your miniature Christmas trees. However, as you admired your finished creations, Eric's eyes widened in realization.

You turned abruptly to face him as the sound of rustling decorations caught your attention. Eric frantically rummaged through the piles, only to pause, meeting your gaze with a nervous expression. "I think I forgot the stars."

"No way," you responded in disbelief.

"Yes way," Eric confirmed, a blend of disappointment and amusement coloring his face.

"How could you forget the most important one? See, buying all of this without going through them wasn't a good idea," you chided, scouring through the piles once more, hoping that he was just joking.

Confirming that there were no stars, you stopped and looked at him again. “Looks like we won’t have trees with stars on them.”

“It’s fine—you’re my star anyways,” Eric casually said, the words slipping out without much thought. A brief pause ensued; he stared at you with slightly widened eyes, then slowly covered his mouth in mild surprise.

"Huh?" you questioned, curious about his sudden reaction.

"Nothing," Eric attempted to dismiss it.

"No—continue," you pressed.

"You're my star…" he repeated, his words trailing off, a tinge of warmth in his voice.

"The reason?"

Eric sighed inwardly, hating how you could make him so nervous within a matter of seconds. "You also shine brightly in my life—like a star. And I wish for you every day…" he trailed off on the last part, mumbling it under his breath, yet you managed to catch it and chuckled.

"Is that a confession?" you teased.

"Maybe," he replied.

"That was so corny," you remarked.

"You're smiling though!" Eric insisted.

"No, I'm not!" you countered, trying to hide your amusement.

After a few more moments of playful banter, the two of you stopped and shared a tender gaze. Before either of you could say anything, you suddenly requested Eric to take some pictures for Instagram. He was a bit confused, hoping you would have given him an answer instead, but he still complied.

Following your instructions, Eric stood behind your tree while you stood behind his, pretending to be stars for each other’s tree. After taking a few pictures, you quickly uploaded them to instagram, tagging Eric, who saw the notification on his phone.

After liking the post, his eyes shifted to the caption, which read, “You’re my star too 🩷”.

He smiled at the post, adding it onto his story—what an unexpected but charming way to reciprocate a confession.

Plants with defense mechanisms against mammals do not consent to be killed and eaten by humans! They have made it clear that they do not want that!

Phenols are intended to irritate mucous membranes and act as toxins. Tannins are anti-nutrients that prevent absorption and inhibit digestive enzymes. Extra-floral nectar and many volatile organic compounds are the rape whistle of the plant world, a desperate attempt to attract allies that will defend them from predation. Terpinoids, alcohol, alkaloids, and cyanogenic glycosides are all defensive compounds. These are all a clear statement of non-consent!

Stop eating these plants immediately:

Fruit: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates, grapes, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, apples, persimmons, quinces, wild cherry, pineapple, bananas, goji, cassava, apricots, plums, peaches

Vegetables: spinach, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, onions, garlic, potatoes, eggplants, okra, bamboo shoots

Nuts/seeds: walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, flaxseed, almonds, sunflower seeds, guarana, kola

Grain/grass/legumes: oats, barley, rice, lentils, chickpeas, wheat, sorghum, beans, peas

Other: tea, coffee, cocoa, tumeric, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, lemongrass, rosemary, yerba mate, paprika

This isn't an exhaustive list. Grocery aisles are full of violated plants. A strong scent is a sign of elevated volatile organic compounds and sour or tart flavors are often due to defense compounds. So that can be a hint. But check the species you normally eat to be sure.

Caffeine is a defensive toxin and the caffeine in other things is extracted from plants, so beware of caffeinated snacks and drinks that seem otherwise safe. Also watch your vitamins and supplements for nonconsensual extracts. And don't forget cosmetics and skincare! Many plumping formulas contain caffeine and/or other defensive compounds like capsaicin.

This is just another step in moving toward an exploitation-free life. If a living thing has expressly denied consent, it's unethical to kill it and consume its remains. Just bc their screams are at ultrasonic frequencies doesn't mean they fall on deaf ears.

Can certain foods or supplements help with weight loss?

Certain foods and supplements can support weight loss, but they aren’t magic solutions. Here’s the scoop:

Foods

High-Protein Foods:

Chicken & Fish: Lean meats are great because they provide high-quality protein without too much fat. Fish like salmon also provide omega-3 fatty acids, which can promote fat loss and improve metabolic health.

Tofu & Legumes: These are excellent plant-based protein sources. They help maintain muscle mass during weight loss and keep you full for longer periods.

Fiber-Rich Foods:

Whole Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, and oats are packed with fiber. They take longer to digest, keeping you full and reducing the urge to snack.

Fruits & Veggies: Apples, berries, broccoli, and carrots are low in calories but high in fiber and nutrients. They help maintain steady blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes and hunger pangs.

Beans: Black beans, lentils, and chickpeas are great for adding bulk to your meals without adding too many calories. They are also high in protein.

Healthy Fats:

Avocados: Rich in monounsaturated fats, they can help regulate appetite hormones.

Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios provide a good balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making them perfect for snacks.

Olive Oil: Using olive oil in moderation instead of butter or other fats can support weight loss by providing healthy fats that help with satiety.

Green Tea:

Contains catechins, which may help boost metabolism and increase fat burning, especially during exercise. Drinking a few cups a day can contribute to overall calorie burn.

Water-Rich Foods:

Foods with high water content can help you feel full with fewer calories. They are also generally low in energy density, which means you can eat larger portions without

Supplements

Green Tea Extract:

This supplement contains concentrated doses of the beneficial compounds in green tea. It’s often used to increase fat oxidation during exercise and enhance metabolic rate.

Glucomannan:

A natural dietary fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant. It absorbs water and expands in your stomach, making you feel full and reducing calorie intake.

Protein Powder:

Useful for people who struggle to get enough protein through food alone. It helps with muscle repair and growth, which can boost metabolism since muscle tissue burns more calories than fat.

Caffeine:

Found in coffee, certain teas, and supplements. It can enhance fat burning and boost metabolic rate in the short term. However, it’s important to consume it in moderation to avoid negative side effects like jitteriness and sleep disturbances.

Probiotics:

These beneficial bacteria can improve gut health, which is increasingly recognized as playing a role in weight regulation. Some strains of probiotics may help with weight loss by improving digestion and nutrient absorption.

Key Points to Remember

Balanced Diet: No single food or supplement can replace the benefits of a well-rounded diet. Incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods is essential.

Exercise: Physical activity is crucial for burning calories, building muscle, and improving overall health.

Consistency: Sustainable weight loss comes from long-term changes in diet and lifestyle, not quick fixes.

Medical Advice: Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Combining these foods and supplements with a healthy lifestyle can help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals more effectively.

Celebrating Ingrid Pitt

Ingrid Pitt (born Ingoushka Petrov; 21 November 1937 – 23 November 2010) was a Polish-British actress and writer best known for her work in horror films of the 1970s.

Ingoushka Petrov was born in Warsaw, Poland, one of two daughters of a father of German Jewish descent and a Polish Jewish mother. During World War II, she and her mother were imprisoned in Stutthof concentration camp in Sztutowo, Free City of Danzig (present-day Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland) but escaped. In Berlin, in the 1950s, Ingoushka married an American soldier, Laud Roland Pitt Jr., and moved to California. After her marriage failed she returned to Europe, but after a small role in a film, she took the shortened stage name "Ingrid Pitt", keeping her former husband's surname, and headed to Hollywood, where she worked as a waitress while trying to make a career in films.

In the early 1960s, Pitt was a member of the prestigious Berliner Ensemble, under the guidance of Bertolt Brecht's widow Helene Weigel. In 1965, she made her film debut in Doctor Zhivago, playing a minor role. In 1968, she co-starred in the low-budget science-fiction film The Omegans, and in the same year, played British spy Heidi Schmidt in Where Eagles Dare opposite Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.

Her work with Hammer Film Productions elevated her to cult figure status. She starred as Carmilla/Mircalla in The Vampire Lovers (1970), based on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novella Carmilla, and played the title role in Countess Dracula (1971), based on the legends about Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Pitt also appeared in the Amicus horror anthology film The House That Dripped Blood (1971) and had a small part in The Wicker Man (1973).

During the 1980s, Pitt returned to mainstream films and television. Her role as Fraulein Baum in the 1981 BBC Playhouse Unity, who is denounced as a Jew by Unity Mitford (Lesley-Anne Down), was uncomfortably close to her real-life experiences. Her popularity with horror film buffs had her in demand for guest appearances at horror conventions and film festivals. Other films in which Pitt has appeared outside the horror genre are: Who Dares Wins (1982) (or The Final Option), Wild Geese II (1985) and Hanna's War (1988). Generally cast as a villainess, her characters often died horribly at the end of the final reel. "Being the anti-hero is great – they are always roles you can get your teeth into."

In the 1980s she also reinvented herself as a writer. Her first book, after a number of ill-fated tracts on the plight of Native Americans, was the 1980 novel, Cuckoo Run, a spy story about mistaken identity. "I took it to Cubby Broccoli. It was about a woman called Nina Dalton who is pursued across South America in the mistaken belief that she is a spy. Cubby said it was a female Bond. He was being very kind."

In 1999, her autobiography, Life's a Scream (Heinemann) was published, and she was short-listed for the for her own reading of extracts from the audio book.

The autobiography detailed the harrowing experiences of her early life—in a Nazi concentration camp, her search through Europe in Red Cross refugee camps for her father, and her escape from East Berlin, one step ahead of the Volkspolizei. "I always had a big mouth and used to go on about the political schooling interrupting my quest for thespian glory. I used to think like that. Not good in a police state."

Pitt died in a south London hospital on 23 November 2010, a few days after collapsing, and two days after her 73rd birthday, from congestive heart failure.

Seven months before she died, Pitt finished narration for Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest (2011), an animated short film on her experience in the Holocaust, a project that had been in the works for five years. Character design and storyboards were created by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Bill Plympton. The film is directed by Kevin Sean Michaels; co-produced and co-written by Jud Newborn, Holocaust expert and author, "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose"; and drawn by 10-year-old animator, Perry Chen.
