I have now lost access to crucial and necessary psychologist appointments that I have weekly due to no funding from the government or otherwise, am completely wheelchair dependent because I can’t afford physiotherapy, am trying to study, pay rent and weekly medical bills such as dietitian etc.

Am in desperate need of immediate help and can’t say how grateful I would be. I have tried every avenue for funding and support and can’t attain it. I am in crisis and desperate need of help. Please 🙏🏻

11 months ago I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and with Fibromyalgia earlier this year.I have also dealt with cPTSD and an eating disorder for the last 20 years.

I have been mostly bed bound for 12 months and have spent 6 months of this year in hospital. I cannot currently walk more than 20 metres without needing a wheelchair to mobilise. I have been unable to drive for the last 12 months due to continued non-epileptic seizures.

I am needing continued help to manage all of my medical bills, specialist appointments, medication, transport etc.

I am attaching a PayPal link if you feel at all inclined to donate to help me manage week to week as the pension I’m on doesn’t even cover basic expenses for each fortnight after rent and each of my medical team appointments.

I would be so grateful for any donations, reblog etc. Thank you in advance x

Eyeless Jack x reader who doesnt eat meat? Like at all? I feel like thatd be funny lol

Eyeless Jack x reader who doesnt eat meat

Chat wake up new ship dynamic just dropped: non meat eater x cannibal/j

Notes: reader can be seen as either vegan or vegetarian, reader is gn, short post, written on mobile

CWs: canon typical violence and gore

He already doesnt like eating in front of you or getting his food, so that's doesn't change- if anything he might even out extra effort to keeping that stuff away from you

Even if you're fine with others eating meat- or that the meat hes eating isn't... animal...

Does his best to keep snacks you can eat at his place, usually you bring them and he stores them for later

Doesnt mind your diet at all, it's far more normal than the one hes forced to follow

Plus hes never really cared what others did with their bodies as long as it's not affecting him

That being said he does try to find ways to get you any extra nutrients if you're lacking anywhere, hes no dietitian but he wants you to be healthy in any way possible

That being said, he physically cannot forego or change his own diet and will not tolerate you trying to force that- though to be fair your relationship wouldn't have become.. well, a relationship, if you did try to forcefully change that

[scarybabe]

You plan on losing weight after you reach your goal?

Obviously that is completely your choice and anyone who would deny you bodily autonomy can fuck right off.

That said, I hope you've done some research on this. Gaining and losing extreme amounts of weight takes a big toll on your body, and weight cycling causes a lot of the health issues that people regularly and incorrectly blame on fatness.

I don't say any of that as a feedist who just wants you to look a certain way - I'm saying it because I developed my ED trying to loose weight myself, and the dietitian I worked with has worked really hard to help me understand that I'm healthier staying fat than still trying to change my body.

I'm deeply sorry if this whole ask is intrusive and/or nothing you didn't already know - again, your body, your life, your choice no matter what. I just always feel obligated to say something just in case. I hope you're well!

I’m not losing an extreme amount of weight when I’m done with my gaining arc, not trying to lose weight quickly or even weighing myself while this is happening. I’m going to focus on building muscle and eating accordingly & still eating foods that make me happy and whatever weight my body settles at I’ll be happy!

If I’m feeling strong and happy and not having back pain or mobility challenges I won’t care about the number on the scale. I realize when I lost weight after gaining the first time, I put my health at risk and I do NOT want to do anything like that ever again. 🍓💕

Posting this just in case anyone else is ever in my shoes and needs ideas of how to go forward after focusing on weight gain for so long 🌸

Why Allied Health Is the Backbone of Holistic Healthcare Systems

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environment, the concept of holistic care has gained significant prominence. Holistic healthcare focuses on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just addressing specific symptoms or illnesses. At the centre of this comprehensive approach lies allied health, a vital but often underappreciated sector of the healthcare system. Allied health professionals form the backbone of holistic care, offering a wide range of services that complement traditional medicine and enhance the overall quality of patient outcomes.

What Is Allied Health?

Allied health encompasses a diverse group of healthcare professionals who are not doctors, nurses, or dentists but who work collaboratively with these primary care providers to support patients. This field includes roles such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, speech pathologists, radiographers, and paramedics, among others. These professionals are highly trained in their respective disciplines and focus on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, ensuring that patients receive well-rounded care.

The Role of Allied Health in Holistic Healthcare

Holistic healthcare requires a multidisciplinary approach, and allied health professionals are uniquely equipped to address the diverse needs of patients. Their specialised expertise contributes to physical, emotional, and social well-being, ensuring that no aspect of a patient's health is overlooked.

1. Addressing Physical Health Needs Allied health professionals play a critical role in improving physical health. Physiotherapists and occupational therapists help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and regain mobility. These services are not just about fixing a problem but also about empowering patients to take charge of their health through exercise, education, and preventive strategies.

2. Supporting Mental and Emotional Well-being Holistic care also prioritises mental health, recognising the connection between emotional well-being and physical health. Speech pathologists and audiologists, for example, help individuals with communication disorders regain confidence and improve their quality of life. Similarly, social workers and counsellors assist patients in navigating emotional challenges, fostering resilience and stability.

3. Promoting Nutritional Health Dietitians are another key component of allied health, offering tailored nutrition plans that address a variety of health concerns, from weight management to chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. By focusing on dietary habits, these professionals empower patients to make sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term well-being.

4. Bridging Gaps in Healthcare Access Allied health professionals often work in community settings, ensuring that healthcare services are accessible to all, including underserved populations. Paramedics, for instance, provide critical care during emergencies, while community health workers deliver education and preventive care in remote areas. This accessibility is a cornerstone of holistic care, as it ensures that every individual has the opportunity to achieve optimal health.

The Collaborative Nature of Allied Health

One of the defining features of allied health is its collaborative approach. These professionals work alongside doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers to create a unified care plan tailored to the patient’s unique needs. For example, a patient recovering from a stroke may require input from a physiotherapist, speech pathologist, dietitian, and social worker, all working together to support their recovery journey.

This interdisciplinary teamwork not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances the efficiency of the healthcare system. By addressing various aspects of health simultaneously, allied health professionals help reduce hospital readmissions, shorten recovery times, and minimise healthcare costs.

Allied Health and Preventive Care

Preventive care is a cornerstone of holistic healthcare, and allied health professionals are at the forefront of this movement. Through education, screenings, and early interventions, they help patients identify and manage risk factors before they develop into serious conditions.

For example:

Physiotherapists educate patients on posture and ergonomics to prevent musculoskeletal issues.

Dietitians provide nutritional counselling to combat obesity and related diseases.

Speech pathologists offer early interventions for children with developmental delays, setting them up for success later in life.

By focusing on prevention, allied health professionals not only improve individual health outcomes but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the healthcare system.

Challenges Faced by Allied Health Professionals

Despite their critical role, allied health professionals often face challenges, including limited recognition and funding. Many people are unaware of the full scope of services offered by allied health, leading to underutilisation of these resources. Additionally, workforce shortages in certain disciplines can strain healthcare systems and limit access to care.

Addressing these challenges requires increased investment in allied health education, public awareness campaigns, and policies that prioritise integrated care models. By supporting the growth and development of this sector, healthcare systems can fully harness the potential of allied health professionals to deliver holistic care.

The Future of Allied Health in Holistic Healthcare

As healthcare continues to evolve, the demand for holistic and patient-centred care will only grow. Allied health professionals are poised to play an even greater role in meeting this demand, thanks to their ability to adapt to new technologies, research advancements, and changing patient needs.

For example, telehealth has expanded the reach of allied health services, allowing professionals to provide care remotely and bridge gaps in access. Similarly, advancements in rehabilitation technology, such as virtual reality and robotic devices, are revolutionising the way allied health professionals deliver care.

Conclusion

Allied health professionals are the backbone of holistic healthcare systems, offering a wide range of services that address the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of health. Their collaborative approach and emphasis on prevention make them indispensable in creating a more inclusive, patient-centred healthcare model.

As society increasingly recognises the importance of holistic care, the role of allied health will continue to expand, transforming the way we approach health and well-being. By supporting and investing in this vital sector, we can ensure that healthcare systems are equipped to meet the diverse needs of individuals and communities alike.

Trying to pull myself out of a depressive episode by taking a walk in between thunderstorms around my neighborhood. At least the scenery is nice to look at.

This is just me ranting about why I’m depressed. Ignore if you want.

I am so fucking disappointed in myself right now. I have worked tirelessly to lose over 40 lbs in the last year (and I’m still like another 40 lbs away from my goal). This comes after I had lost a bunch of weight before the pandemic (which was the first time in my life I had any sort of confidence and actually liked the way I looked) then I gained it all back plus some during the pandemic. So, to jeopardize my progress as I have done in this past month is super triggering to me.

Between the whole car thing and a federal bill being passed that changed my pay frequency, I’m basically financially screwed right now. I also have an elderly cat with medical problems and I have my own medical problems hindering my ability to stay mobile and exercise but I can’t afford to see a doctor about any of it. I have gone to HUGE lengths to overhaul my ENTIRE diet in an attempt to lose weight, but more importantly, to get my IBS under control, then I just turn around and stuff my face with junk and fast food over the entire last month (after going HALF A YEAR without eating fast food! Thanks, eating disorder!). My other issue that is an on and off thing and I suspect to be piriformis syndrome has flared back up, also making it impossible to exercise which is always been a huge boost to my mental health. So, basically I feel like I’ve set myself back and now I’m struggling so hard to get back on track. I don’t even want to see my dietitian this month because I have zero good news to bring to her.

It just feels like everything is fucking against me right now and I’m like powerless to do anything. I now have to pick up a side hustle to help pay off debt so I can have some relief but that won’t come for a few more months. I live by myself and I’ve been taking care of myself just fucking fine. Then wham! Sick cat requiring thousands of dollars in vet visits, my pay frequency changing from monthly to biweekly (so most months of the year I’m now bringing in $200 LESS a month than before), and the cherry on top, a fucking tree falls on my car, forcing me to buy a new car I can’t afford cause used car prices are insane, and so now I have an extra loan payment AND my car insurance went up. I am not fucking kidding when I say that my budget is down to the fucking PENNY with no fucking wiggle room.

And I’m supposed to be able to adequately feed myself to maintain my healthy diet for weight loss and my gut health somehow and get the motivation up to exercise to keep myself active all while having a house to maintain, a sick cat to care for, and picking up a side hustle? How do I not manage to fall back into a depression through all of this bullshit? I am literally putting in my best effort, doing the most that I can possibly do, and it’s just not fucking enough. Like, what do you even do when you reach that point? Because I have no fucking clue, man. Life is such fucking bullshit.

How to Lose 5kg of Fat in 2 Weeks

Losing 5kg of fat in just two weeks might sound like a tough goal, but with the right approach and dedication, it’s possible to make significant progress on your weight loss journey. However, it’s crucial to remember that rapid weight loss can be challenging and may not be suitable for everyone. Here’s a practical guide on how to achieve this goal in a healthy way.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Create a Calorie Deficit

To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. Calculate your daily maintenance calories, which is the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight. Then, create a calorie deficit by eating fewer calories.

Pro Tip: A general rule is to aim for a daily calorie deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories, which can result in a weekly fat loss of approximately 0.5–1kg. However, consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist before drastically reducing your calorie intake.

Balanced Diet

Focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. Incorporate lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats into your meals. Reduce your intake of processed and sugary foods, as they can hinder your weight loss efforts.

Portion Control

Controlling portion sizes is vital for weight loss. Use smaller plates, bowls, and utensils to help you manage your portions better. Eating mindfully, without distractions, can also prevent overeating.

Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is essential for your body to function optimally. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Drinking enough water can help you avoid unnecessary snacking.

Regular Exercise

Incorporate both cardio and strength training exercises into your routine. Cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming can help you burn calories, while strength training can build muscle, which in turn boosts your metabolism.

Consistency Is Key

Consistency is crucial for any successful weight loss journey. Stick to your calorie deficit, exercise routine, and healthy eating plan. Keep in mind that it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Monitor Your Progress

Keep track of your progress by recording your meals, exercise routines, and weight. Use a journal or a mobile app to help you stay on course.

Get Enough Sleep

Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night. Lack of sleep can affect your metabolism and hunger hormones, potentially leading to overeating.

Manage Stress

Stress can lead to emotional eating, which can derail your weight loss efforts. Practice stress-reduction techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.

Seek Professional Guidance

Losing weight quickly can be challenging and may not be suitable for everyone, especially if you have underlying health conditions. It’s wise to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before embarking on an aggressive weight loss plan.

Conclusion

Losing 5kg of fat in two weeks is a challenging but achievable goal. However, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and approach this goal with a realistic mindset. Make gradual, sustainable changes to your diet and exercise routines to see long-term results. The most efficient path to rapid weight loss involves marrying a calorie deficit with regular exercise. Still, it’s important to note that supplements can provide valuable support along your weight loss journey. Remember, the key to successful weight loss is patience, consistency, and making healthy choices for your body.

Weight loss can offer a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It's important to note that the specific benefits can vary based on individual circumstances, the amount of weight lost, and the methods used. Here are some potential benefits of weight loss:

Improved Health Markers: Losing excess weight can lead to improved health markers such as reduced blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and better blood sugar control. This can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

Increased Energy: Shedding extra pounds can lead to increased energy levels, making everyday activities feel easier and more enjoyable.

Enhanced Mobility: Weight loss can improve joint health and mobility, making it easier to move, exercise, and engage in physical activities.

Better Sleep: Weight loss can alleviate conditions like sleep apnea and improve sleep quality, leading to more restful nights.

Reduced Joint Pain: Less weight places less stress on joints, which can help alleviate pain and discomfort, especially in weight-bearing areas like the knees and hips.

Improved Breathing: Losing weight can lead to better lung function and easier breathing, particularly during physical activities.

Reduced Risk of Certain Cancers: Maintaining a healthy weight is associated with a lower risk of certain types of cancers, including breast, colon, and ovarian cancers.

Enhanced Mental Health: Weight loss can have positive effects on mental health by boosting self-esteem, body image, and overall self-confidence.

Decreased Risk of Stroke: Weight loss, especially in individuals with high blood pressure or other risk factors, can reduce the likelihood of stroke.

Better Digestion: Achieving a healthy weight can improve digestion and alleviate digestive issues such as acid reflux.

Increased Fertility: For individuals struggling with fertility issues due to weight-related hormonal imbalances, weight loss can increase the chances of conception.

Improved Mood: Weight loss and regular physical activity are linked to the release of endorphins, which can lead to improved mood and reduced feelings of stress and anxiety.

Enhanced Heart Health: Weight loss reduces the workload on the heart, leading to improved cardiovascular health and a lower risk of heart disease.

Long-Term Health Benefits: Sustaining a healthy weight can lead to long-term health benefits and a higher quality of life as you age.

It's important to approach weight loss in a balanced and sustainable way. Crash diets or extreme measures can be harmful and may not lead to lasting benefits. Consulting with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before embarking on a weight loss journey is advisable to ensure that you're making healthy choices and setting realistic goals for yourself.

Why You're Not Seeing Results: Understanding the Causes of Slow Weight Loss

Weight loss can be a challenging and frustrating process for many people. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to slow weight loss, and it's important to understand what might be causing your particular struggle in order to address it effectively. One common cause of slow weight loss is a calorie imbalance. This can happen if you are consuming more calories than you are burning through exercise and daily activities. To lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit by burning more calories than you take in. If you're not seeing results, it could be because you're not accurately tracking your food intake or overestimating how many calories you're burning through exercise. How To Accurately Track Your Food Intake Tracking your food intake is a crucial step in achieving weight loss because it allows you to monitor your calorie intake and ensure that you are creating a calorie deficit. Here are some tips for accurately tracking your food intake: - Use a food diary or mobile app: Keeping a food diary or using a mobile app like MyFitnessPal, can help you track what you're eating, when you're eating it, and how many calories you're consuming. This will give you a clear picture of your eating habits and make it easier to identify any areas where you may need to make changes. - Measure your food: Using measuring cups, spoons, or a food scale can help ensure that you're accurately tracking the amount of food you're consuming. This is particularly important when you're eating foods that are high in calories like nuts, oils, and avocado. - Be honest with yourself: It's important to be honest with yourself when tracking your food intake. Don't leave out any snacks or cheat meals, as this will skew your results and make it harder to achieve your weight loss goals. - Track nutrient intake: Along with calorie tracking, it's important to track your nutrient intake as well. Keep an eye on your macronutrient intake, such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats, and micronutrient intake like vitamins, minerals and fiber. - Plan ahead: To make tracking your food intake easier, plan your meals and snacks in advance. This will help you to avoid impulse eating and ensure that you're consuming healthy, nutrient-dense foods. - Get an expert's help: Consulting a registered dietitian or a nutritionist can be beneficial in tracking your food intake accurately. They can assess your diet, suggest changes, and provide guidance on how to make sure you are getting the right nutrients to support your weight loss goals. Another potential cause of slow weight loss is a lack of muscle mass. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue does, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn throughout the day. If you're not engaging in strength training exercises to build muscle, your weight loss may be slowed. How To Maintain Muscle Mass While Losing Weight Maintaining muscle mass while losing weight is important because muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue does. This means that the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn throughout the day, even when you're not actively exercising. Here are some tips for maintaining muscle mass while losing weight: - Strength training: Strength training exercises such as weightlifting, resistance band exercises, and bodyweight exercises are crucial for building and maintaining muscle mass. Aim to strength train at least two to three times a week, focusing on all major muscle groups. - Progressive overload: To continue building muscle, you need to challenge your muscles with increasing resistance. This is known as progressive overload, and it can be achieved by increasing the weight, reps, or sets of your exercises. - Adequate protein intake: Protein is crucial for muscle recovery and growth, so it's important to make sure you're consuming enough protein to support muscle growth and maintenance. Aim to consume at least 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. - Don't cut calories too low: When trying to lose weight, it's important to create a calorie deficit, but cutting calories too low can lead to muscle loss. Make sure you're not consuming too few calories, or you risk losing muscle mass along with fat. - Avoid crash diets: Crash diets that involve drastic and rapid weight loss are not sustainable and can lead to muscle loss. Instead, aim for slow and steady weight loss through a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise. - Prioritize compound exercises: Compound exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench press, are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once and are great for building muscle mass. - Rest and recovery: Adequate rest and recovery are essential for muscle growth and repair. Make sure to get enough sleep and allow your muscles to recover between strength training sessions. Hormonal imbalances can also play a role in slow weight loss. For example, low levels of thyroid hormone can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Certain medical conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can also affect your hormones and make it more difficult to lose weight. Stress can also contribute to slow weight loss. When you're under a lot of stress, your body releases the hormone cortisol, which can cause weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area. Stress can also lead to emotional eating, which can cause you to consume more calories than you need. Minimizing Stress Level Is Important When You’re Trying To Lose Weight Minimizing stress can help you achieve weight loss by reducing your cortisol levels (stress hormone) and preventing emotional eating. Here are some ways to minimize stress in order to lose weight: - Practice mindfulness techniques: Mindfulness techniques such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Practicing mindfulness techniques on a regular basis can help you manage stress more effectively. - Exercise regularly: Exercise is not only beneficial for weight loss but also for managing stress. Exercise releases endorphins which are often referred to as "feel-good hormones" that can promote feelings of happiness and well-being. - Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that you enjoy and that make you feel good. Whether it's reading a book, taking a bath, or practicing a hobby, taking care of yourself can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. - Connect with others: Social support is important for managing stress. Connecting with friends and family, joining a support group, or seeking help from a therapist can all help reduce stress. - Learn to manage time: Often, stress can come from feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. By learning to manage your time more effectively, you can reduce stress and feel more in control of your life. - Practice stress-reducing techniques: There are a variety of stress-reducing techniques such as Progressive muscle relaxation, aromatherapy, and journaling that can be effective in reducing stress. - Avoid triggers: Identify the situations or things that trigger your stress and try to avoid them as much as possible. Another factor that can contribute to slow weight loss is lack of sleep. Lack of sleep can negatively impact weight loss in several ways, one of which is through its effect on hormones. When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, and decreases the hormone leptin, which suppresses appetite. This can cause you to feel hungrier and make it harder to control your food intake, leading to overeating and weight gain. Here are some ways in which lack of sleep can affect hormones and impede weight loss: - Ghrelin and Leptin: Ghrelin and Leptin are two hormones that regulate appetite and energy balance. Ghrelin is known as the "hunger hormone" and it stimulates appetite, while Leptin is known as the "satiety hormone" and it suppresses appetite. When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases more ghrelin and less leptin, which can cause you to feel hungrier and make it harder to control your food intake. - Cortisol: Cortisol is a stress hormone that can cause weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area. Lack of sleep can increase cortisol levels, making it harder to lose weight. - Insulin: Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Lack of sleep can disrupt insulin sensitivity, making it harder for your body to use insulin effectively. This can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. - Testosterone: Testosterone is an anabolic hormone that plays a role in muscle growth and metabolism. Lack of sleep can decrease testosterone levels, making it harder to build muscle and burn fat. - Human Growth Hormone: Human growth hormone is responsible for muscle growth and metabolism. Sleep plays a crucial role in the production of this hormone and lack of sleep can decrease its production leading to muscle loss and slow metabolism. Lastly, genetics also play a role in weight loss. Some people may have a harder time losing weight due to their genetic makeup. In conclusion, slow weight loss can be caused by a variety of factors including calorie imbalance, lack of muscle mass, hormonal imbalances, stress, lack of sleep and genetics. It's important to identify the specific causes of your slow weight loss in order to address them effectively. If you're struggling with slow weight loss, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to help you determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized plan to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Matcha - Perfect for Your Everyday Health and Wellness

Perfect for your everyday Health and Wellness with matcha .Green tea powder called matcha tea is high in antioxidants. For traditional green tea, the leaves are steeped in boiling water before being discarded. The dried leaves are really ground into a powder when using matcha, which is then added to the tea and consumed.The tea is thought to be the most aromatic type of green tea because of its distinctive, non-bitter flavour and vivid green colour.

Benefits of Matcha for Health?

Many individuals are switching to matcha, a caffeinated substitute well known for its brilliant colour, as more and more people attempt to reduce their consumption of coffee. It's a form of green tea, but it's not the hot water-infused loose-leaf variety. A powder called matcha is created by grinding up green tea leaves. The advantages of matcha are much greater than those of the traditional type since it contains a larger concentration of nutrients.

It's packed with vitamins and antioxidants: Both catechins and polyphenols, another class of antioxidant found in green tea, are present. Jenna Gorham, RD, dietitian and founder of the RD Link, says that matcha powder provides a megadose of these potent antioxidants, which can help lessen cell damage and prevent chronic disease.

It might enhance the radiance on your skin:If you have skin issues, Miyashita advises switching to matcha for a week rather than coffee. According to a 2017 study that was published in the journal Nutrients, the vitamin C in matcha boosts the formation of collagen when consumed. Additionally, a study published in the journal Advances in Skin & Wound Care suggests that vitamin B may aid in the promotion of healthy skin cell turnover.

It can make your bones stronger: Most individuals don't consider actively taking steps to strengthen their bones, yet doing so is crucial for health and mobility, especially as you age. By lowering the oxidative stress that causes inflammation in the bones, polyphenols, the antioxidant-rich substances in green tea, may increase bone mineral density (i.e., how solid your bones are). According to a number of earlier research, this can subsequently reduce your risk of getting osteoporosis.

Compared to a cup of coffee or boiled tea, it may be more filling: Due to its potent, earthy flavour, matcha powder is most frequently blended and served with milk or a non-dairy substitute, such as almond or oat milk. The milk's additional calories make the beverage more filling than your typical espresso-based latte.

It might safeguard your brain: A tiny study from 2020 that was published in the journal Nutrients suggests that drinking matcha every day may help halt cognitive decline. That's because matcha contains plenty of lutein and vitamin K, both of which have been linked to enhanced cognitive abilities including attention and memory.

Matcha tea has many health advantages, excess consumption may have negative effects.

Like most things, drinking too much matcha tea can be harmful to your health. Excessive matcha use may have negative side effects such as headaches, sleeplessness, and upset stomach. Matcha also includes a lot of caffeine, so consuming too much of it may also cause jitteriness and other caffeine-related adverse effects, such as a faster heartbeat. It is usually advised to consume food and beverages in moderation.

How can Matcha be used?

Matcha has several applications, some of which are as follows:

Drinking: Matcha is typically taken as a tea, which is the most popular way to consume it. To make a frothy and tasty beverage, the powder is customarily whisked with hot water.

Cooking and baking: Matcha powder may also be used in cooking and baking to give desserts and savoury foods a distinctive green tea flavour. It's frequently used in baked products including cakes, cookies, and bread as well as smoothies, matcha ice cream, and other baked goods.

Due to its high antioxidant content, which can help shield the skin from free radical damage, matcha powder is also utilised in various cosmetics and skincare products.

Supplements: Matcha powder is also offered in capsules, pills, and powdered supplements.

Matcha is traditionally used in Japan's traditional tea ceremony, where it is regarded as a sign of deference, friendliness, and harmony.

Due to the calming effects of the L-Theanine, some people use matcha as a way to improve their yoga and meditation practices.

Does matcha have caffeine?

Yes, caffeine is present in matcha. The Camellia sinensis plant, which also yields green, black, and oolong tea, is the source of the leaves used to manufacture matcha. Matcha contains more caffeine than other types of tea because the leaves are grown and processed specifically for this purpose.

Matcha's caffeine concentration varies depending on the powder's quality, although it is typically thought to be higher than that of other kinds of tea. Matcha typically includes 35 mg of caffeine per serving, or about the same as one cup of coffee. According to some research, matcha has up to three times as much caffeine as a typical cup of green tea.

Method for making Matcha?

Here is a  recipe for classic matcha tea:

Ingredients:

Matcha powder, 1 teaspoon

2 ounces (or 60 ml) of hot (between 175 and 180 °F) water

Optional: 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or sugar (if desired)

Instructions:

To get rid of any lumps, sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer.

Matcha powder, hot water, and sugar or honey (if used) should be whisked together in a small bowl until foamy.

Matcha mixture should be whisked in a "W" motion with a bamboo whisk while holding the bowl with one hand until a thick froth has formed on the tea's surface.

You can use a little electric whisk or a small metal whisk if you don't have a bamboo whisk.

The tea is ready to be served once it has frothed up and been thoroughly blended. Take some time to savour the distinct flavour and scent of your matcha tea.

do you feel tired? eat more. if you eat more and it gets worse, try to eat something different or in smaller portions but more often

do you struggle to move around in a way you find irritating, uncomfortable, or debilitating? (make sure you don't have a mobility disability first) exercise more. if you exercise more and now you're in pain and still can't move, do a different exercise (also check again that you don't have a mobility disability)

do you have reactions to foods or your gut seems to really not like you? talk to a doctor. you may have an allergy or intolerance, and if you can't pin it down, a doctor or experienced dietitian can help you follow a treatment plan to figure out if your gut problem is food or organ related

as op stated, humans as a group are built to adapt to just about nearly anything. so the species has no ideal anything. but that doesn't mean you don't have a optimum balance that works best for you. As I am attempting to elaborate on, that balance could literally be anything and it will change over time and with any other circumstances in your life.

You might work best at a heavier weight, or with more muscle, or with less carbs, or with more protein, or in colder temperatures, or in more weather change, or with more movement, or more sleep. Extreme diets and wild lifestyle changes hurt your body, and the last thing anyone should be subjected to is guilt for being alive in a meat suit their pilot jello needs to make comfortable for approximately 70-80 years

eugenicists make a lot of money off making you feel like you couldn't possibly understand what it is like living in your own body, so they're motivated to get really good at getting in your head and twisting it around. every time you advocate for yourself and buck a generational curse, eugenicists loose a little ground

if ur confused about why animal people advocate for keeping your pets at a "healthy weight" but sometimes also in the same breath will advocate against human diet culture, its because we know what body condition a cat is supposed to be at optimally. but literally there is not one for humans as far as we can tell.

humans are a weird, opportunistic, hyper-adaptable and variable primate and we have evolved to have a LOT of variety in size, shape, metabolism, and weight retention. this has been essential to survival in hard times and easy times. you know the thing people talk about sometimes how about half the population are night people and about half are morning people so we'd be better able to watch at night as a group? yeah, weight variation is like that: there's a lot of latent variation in human populations because as a community we survive significantly better if some of us are fuckin ready to not die during the longass winter of death and some of us can eat their weight in fish and then run a mile immediately after. this is also why some people gain muscle crazy fast and some people don't: muscle requires a lot of energy, so some people are built to gain a lot during a plentiful season and be really efficient then and some people are built to use less energy over time and be more useful during a long hungry period. cats and almost all other vertebrates simply don't have this kind of complex community variation built in, and tend to be much more uniform in build and weight. humans tend to be really variable in body and brain, and that's one of the biggest factors that's made us so successful! there are just a LOT of ways to be a human being.

all of the "science" on "ideal human body condition" we have at the moment is almost entirely bullshit and was done by white supremacists for eugenics purposes. it's just not something we know, and right now there's significantly more evidence that there is no ideal body type for everyone to reach. recent research indicates that humans are healthiest at a variety of weights and builds, and dieting is almost universally bad for you. even if the culture hasn't caught up yet.
