#metabolic process

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The dozens of variations discovered in hemoglobins, metabolic processes, and, in the structures, enzymes made it evident that human beings were infinitely differentiable in their biochemistry. No stigma could be attached to the impersonal substitution of a single amino acid that produced sickle-cell anemia.

in belated honor of weed's birthday I offer an addendum to my lexi-post-meteor-can-drink-like-a-fish-and-still-be-lucid hc, which is that post-meteor lexi can smoke the kinda kush that would make snoop dogg tweet "GOOD WEED" in all caps and vaporize lesser men and come out the other side perfectly fine

i'm so glad my resolution this year was to eat better, and that i had to stick my neck out by driving waaay further to try out an aldi where the prices are crazy better, and in a weird way i'm also glad that my parosmia means it's always easier to steam vegetables and cook some rice than to eat a ready to eat meal or cook something super elaborate.

like, so many things converged and now i'm eating much more reliably than i ever have before and much more steadily, nutritionally speaking. before it was usually an up-down diet of super nutrient rich elaborate meals when i first went shopping, then slowly petering out to "a 6 pack of ritz cracker sandwiches is a meal if you believe in yourself" by about the two week mark when i lost motivation to cook and ran out of frozen meals. now i can't rely on most ready to eat type meals because my parosmia makes the majority of them inedible so when i stop cooking it immediately becomes an emergency that has to be dealt with. and when i say dealt with, i mean i need to steam a vegetable and cook a grain, neither of which really require any attention. at worst an hour of waiting.

like, my diet is barebones as fuck 75% of the time and i'm still eating more overall. because that was the key thing i was always missing, steady easy meals as a constant backdrop to occasional exciting ones. i'm nearing the point where i need a big shake-up like a new grain or maybe a new vegetable in the rotation. but i'm eating so fucking much all the fucking time. i'm eating more now than when eating was a simpler task. i'm so proud of myself. 🥲

biggest (really only) negative part of being on adderall for me so far has been that my alcohol tolerance is now complete garbage. i used to have a really high tolerance especially considering my size (5'3", varying weight between 130-140 lbs, generally a fairly small and compact person overall) and could easily handle 2-3 drinks with no issue, barely felt it, but these days i have 1 drink and i'm immediately light-headed.

I tell people to drink water after a massage and people will be like "ah yes, for the toxins"

And my response is always "for the dehydration"

"This crystal is good for such-and-such organ!" oh yeah name 3 of that organ's functions

Faster Biological Aging Linked to Ultra-Processed Foods

Ultra-processed foods do more than just harm your health—they speed up the body’s aging process. A study involving over 22,000 people found that these foods, filled with additives and lacking fiber, can make your biological clock tick faster than your actual age. This means that while the calendar says one thing, your body may be experiencing the effects of aging much sooner. Scientists say it’s…

what is true is that the tobacco industry bought out the food industry when the gov cracked down on smoking and addiction, and then set their flavor scientists / addiction experts onto this new market to intentionally create addiction in an even greater population

dude not to be a bitch but starting my new job and spending every day surrounded by normies is really giving me a good long look at how fucked up the rhetorical landscape surrounding food and fatness is. the other week i overheard a guy confidently saying that the body doesn't actually require sugar and that if it wasn't for our dastardly perfidious taste buds we'd never crave it(???). just now my manager showed me this video of some dude scaremongering about pringles by saying that their ratio of sugar/salt/fat is CALCULATED to TRICK THE BRAIN into WANTING MORE. bitch you mean they made an effort to make their commercially produced snacks taste good? somebody phone the fucking fire department
