Adonis Costume-Con - Superheroes; Spiderman Contest

++ Renny's Note: This is another prompt that began from the devious mind of @imaginary-muscle. ♥

It's important to remember that, just because the newer generations were getting absolutely slammed with muscle, doesn't mean the niches of particular interests faded into the darkness in exchange for working out and chugging supplements. Everyone always finds time for what they love, and those with the parents that had extensive comic book collections (mint condition, mind you) and movie libraries taking up a whole shelf of the TV stand bookcase were donned with the love for superhero culture just like generations prior.

Comic-Con was quickly replaced with a more all-encompassing "Costume-Con". There would still be competitions held at Costume-Con for best costume, look-alike, etc., featuring much more breadth of topics, but they just had to account for everyone being... a hell of a lot more swole.

Funnily enough, it started being the case that the superheroes just started being associated with more muscle by standard, drawings and new publications gradually stacking them up in weight classes until they started matching those that adored them in the nation of Adonis.

Viking Blood

December 28:  Heater/Sunrise and Sleepover (Nick Amaro x F!reader)

(From the winter prompts found here)

CW:  Named nationality; burgeoning love; fluff; no editing whatsoever.

Word Count:  972

AN:  Requested by anon!

It’s like Murphy’s Law:  just when New York City is going through its coldest snap in a decade, the furnace in Nick Amaro’s house decides to die.

Any other time, he’d suffer through it.  He lives alone in the house now that Maria and Zara have moved to D.C., so he only has to worry about himself.  Any other time, he’d wrap himself in layers and tough it out until morning when a repair person can come.

It’s dangerously cold though.  The space heaters he has barely touch the cold, and he moves them into the basement anyway to try and salvage the pipes, to keep them from bursting.

There’s no other alternative, then.  He calls his partner.  You’ve always had his back, and you’ve always extended the offer for anything he needs.

Tonight, on the coldest night of the year in New York City, what he needs is a warm bed.  Or at least a warm apartment.

-----

He gets the former, not the latter.

“Look, the couch is comfortable but it’s cold as hell in here,” you explain.  You rub the back of your neck, apologetic.  Embarrassed, maybe.  

“So?”

“So it’s better if we bunk up for the night.  That okay with you?”

“We’ve shared a bed before.  Remember when we were stuck in Newark?”

You grin at him.  “Yeah, asshole, and you complained to everyone that I snored.”

“You did snore.”

You huff at him.  Cross your arms.  “Didn’t.”

“Snored like a bear.  Snored like a muscle car.  Snored like—”

“You’re being awfully rude to the only person standing between you and hypothermia, buddy,” you interject, your grin turning sly.  “Unless you want to call Munch.  I bet he’s a champion cuddler.”

Nick holds up his hands in surrender.  “Alright, fine.  You didn’t snore.  You sleep like a dainty little princess.”

“Damn straight, guapo.”  You chuck him on the shoulder, then tilt your head in the direction of your bedroom.  “Get cleaned up.  Make yourself at home.”

-----

Make yourself at home.

He doesn’t, not really, not at first.  At home, he sprawls in his bed, but in your bed, he tries to be respectful.  Keeps to his side, keeps his arms and legs to himself.

But fuck if it isn’t still cold, even with your apartment building’s functional furnace.  Even with the small space heater you have set in the bedroom to help supplement the heat.  Even in his flannel pajama pants, Henley shirt, thick socks.  There’s a thick layer of frost on your window.  The wind outside shrieks, howls.  It makes the night seem even darker and colder.

He can’t help himself when he shivers.  Every shift in bed presses him against a new cold spot, and it takes all of his strength to not let his teeth chatter together.

You, though?  You seem…okay.  

You also notice his shivering.

“Want me to cuddle with you?” you ask.

He turns his head in the darkness, can just make out the shape of you beside him.  “How are you not cold?”

“Oh, I am.  Just not as cold as you.”

“Still…”

“C’mere.”  He feels you shift beside him, then feels your hand on him.  Turning him towards you, and then the warm embrace of your arms around him.  You rub his back briskly, then tuck the covers more firmly around him.  Hardly a manly moment for him, but Nick finds he doesn’t mind being babied a little bit, at least by you.  Of relinquishing control and letting you gently manhandle him to warm him up.

It does the trick.  Within a moment, his shivering stops, and a moment after that, the final bit of chill leaves his bones.  Between the two of you—you the warmer one—the bed is a cozy little haven on the coldest night in Nick’s recent memory.

“Better?” you ask, and you drop your voice low because he’s right there, but it comes out unintentionally sultry, nearly sexy.  

“Yeah,” he replies, and his near-whisper sounds sultry too.

“Why are we talking to each other like we’re phone sex line operators?” you ask in that same low, sexy voice, and it startles a laugh out of him, which makes you chuckle too.

He doesn’t answer, but he asks (in a more normal tone, he hopes), “why aren’t you colder?”

“Genetics.  My grandma was from Norway.”

Nick smiles in the darkness.  “So you’re built for this sort of weather.”

“It’s the Viking blood.”

He reaches out, wraps a comfortable arm around you and pulls you closer.  “I appreciate you looking out for me.”

“Anytime, partner.”

-----

Nick survives the night.  He wakes up once in the dead of night to use the bathroom, and it’s torture to pull himself from the cocoon of your bed.  He dashes to the bathroom, shivering the whole time, then dashes back to your bedroom, practically diving under the covers.

He doesn’t wake you, but the way you reach for him in your sleep, the displeased grumble you make until you have your arms back around him…it makes something tight go loose and lax in his chest, an unfurling that’s been threatening for a long while now.

When you start to snore a moment later, he only smiles and holds you a little tighter.

When he falls asleep, the last cognizant thought is how lucky he is to have found a warm place to stay for the night, in the arms of his partner and closest friend.

And when he wakes before you in the morning, the rosy sunrise casting your sleep-rumpled features in a soft light, his first thought is how lucky he is to have found a warm place to land after his divorce, because he recognizes the unfurling in his chest finally—the first sign of spring, of warmer weather.  The beginning thaw brought on by love.

Harnessing the Power of Calcium: Exploring Its Benefits and Plant-Based Sources

Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being. While many associate calcium with dairy products, there are numerous plant-based sources that provide this crucial nutrient. In this blog post, we will delve into the benefits of calcium for the human body and explore some of the best plant-based sources to incorporate into your diet.

The Importance of Calcium:

Calcium is widely recognized for its role in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. However, its benefits extend far beyond skeletal health. Calcium is also involved in muscle contractions, nerve function, blood clotting, and the regulation of enzyme activity. It is particularly crucial during childhood and adolescence when bones are growing, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Additionally, adequate calcium intake throughout life may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. Furthermore, research suggests that calcium may play a role in managing blood pressure and reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.

Plant-Based Sources of Calcium:

For individuals who follow a plant-based or dairy-free diet, it's important to be aware of alternative sources of calcium. Here are some of the best plant-based sources to consider:

1. Leafy Greens:

Dark, leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, turnip greens, and spinach are excellent sources of calcium. These nutrient-packed vegetables not only offer calcium but also provide other essential vitamins and minerals.

2. Almonds:

Almonds are a versatile and nutritious snack that contains a considerable amount of calcium. Additionally, they offer healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making them a valuable addition to your diet.

3. Sesame Seeds:

Sesame seeds, commonly used in various cuisines, are a rich source of calcium. They can be sprinkled on salads, added to baked goods, or used in homemade granola for an extra calcium boost.

4. Tofu and Tempeh:

Tofu and tempeh, both derived from soybeans, are excellent plant-based sources of calcium. These versatile protein sources are widely used in vegetarian and vegan cooking and can be incorporated into a variety of dishes.

5. Fortified Plant-Based Milk Alternatives:

Many plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk, are fortified with calcium to provide a comparable amount to dairy milk. Be sure to check the labels to ensure adequate calcium content.

6. Chia Seeds:

Chia seeds not only provide calcium but are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or used as a topping for yogurt or salads.

7. Beans and Lentils:

Beans and lentils, including chickpeas, black beans, and lentils, are not only excellent sources of protein and fiber but also contain notable amounts of calcium. They can be incorporated into soups, stews, salads, or even used as a base for veggie burgers.

Calcium is an essential mineral that contributes to numerous functions within the human body. While dairy products are often associated with calcium, there are plenty of plant-based sources that can provide this vital nutrient. By incorporating leafy greens, almonds, sesame seeds, tofu, fortified plant-based milk alternatives, chia seeds, beans, and lentils into your diet, you can ensure an adequate calcium intake while enjoying a diverse and nutritious plant-based lifestyle. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized guidance on meeting your calcium needs and maintaining optimal health.

Patrol dogs are terrorizing and mauling prisoners inside the United States

Many men were prone or shackled when the dogs attacked. Several men said officers shouted racial slurs as dogs bit into their flesh.

In May 2004, then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld addressed Congress. The abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib "was inconsistent with the values of our nation," Rumsfeld said. "It was certainly fundamentally un-American." Yet the use of attack-trained dogs at Abu Ghraib appears to have been imported from the United States. A 2005 report from the Department of Justice's inspector general scrutinized the private contractors who helped to build and run Abu Ghraib, detailing the backgrounds of the eight corrections experts who selected the site, oversaw the rebuilding of the prison, and trained staff at Abu Ghraib: Lane McCotter, Gary DeLand, Terry Bartlett, Richard Billings, Larry DuBois, John Armstrong, Terry Stewart, and Charles Ryan. Each had been a high-level state prison administrator or corrections commissioner before arriving in Baghdad. All eight, Insider has found, previously started, expanded, or administered programs at US prisons that authorized the use of dogs to attack and intimidate incarcerated people. McCotter in New Mexico and Utah; DeLand, Billings, and Bartlett in Utah; Ryan and Stewart in Arizona; DuBois in Massachusetts; and Armstrong in Connecticut. Two decades after the human-rights abuses unfolded at Abu Ghraib, almost all of these state prison systems continue to use unmuzzled attack-trained dogs. Insider has identified 12 states that authorize their use against people in state custody. At least 23 prisons in eight states have deployed attack-trained dogs on prisoners in recent years — Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia. Over the past six years, hundreds of incarcerated people have been bitten or mauled. Human Rights Watch researchers wrote, in 2006, that they were unaware of a single other prison system in the world that used dogs to attack people in the confined space of a cell.

[...]

Police departments have long employed trained attack dogs to supplement the range and speed of officers in the field. But prison patrol dogs aren't deployed for chases; they are used inside the prison walls. In these tight, enclosed spaces, the aggressive barking and threat of attack terrorize people trapped inside razor-wire fences and cell doors. The use of dogs to attack people in the confined space of a prison cell has been described by Human Rights Watch as a "well-kept secret" — and a human-rights violation. The dogs' presence inside prisons, the organization found, "is intended to terrify and intimidate." Even witnessing a dog attack in close quarters is harrowing. One former Virginia corrections officer said watching a dog attack a person, hearing their screams and desperate pleas and seeing all that blood, was a "primal" experience and deeply traumatizing. "It's just not something you forget," he said. For those who are the intended target of the intimidation, witnessing a dog attack is devastating, multiple men told Insider. Many suffer nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and fear for weeks and months after seeing an attack. For the hundreds of men who are bitten or mauled themselves, the physical and emotional impact can last for years. Through public-records requests, court documents, medical records, and interviews with dozens of bite victims, Insider documented at least 295 incidents where attack-trained dogs bit incarcerated people over the six years from 2017 to 2022. Insider identified one attack in Connecticut, to break up a fight in 2020; three in Massachusetts, all in the context of forced cell extractions, in 2020; five in Indiana; 15 in Arizona; and 271 attacks in Virginia. The locations of the bites indicate that many of the men may have been prone when they were attacked; a 2006 study suggested that bites to the head, neck, and torso are more likely when the target is on the ground, hiding, or partially restrained. Several men described being cuffed or compliant, spread-eagled on the ground, when attacked; one incident report from July 2022 documents that a man in a Virginia facility called Sussex II State Prison was attacked by a patrol dog after he'd been wrestled into leg irons.

[...]

The severity of the wounds caused by the attacks betrays the tremendous force the dogs can wield. Medical records obtained by Insider contain evidence of deep puncture wounds, lacerations with torn edges, and crush injuries in which muscle, nerves, and bones were damaged from the pressure of the dog's jaw. A study using data from the 1980s and 1990s in Los Angeles found bites from attack-trained dogs were more medically serious than bites from domestic pet dogs. The authors found people bitten by trained law-enforcement dogs were more likely to be hospitalized and require surgeries for skin grafts or tendon and arterial repairs. Dog mouths are also loaded with bacteria. A 1994 dog-bite study found a correlation between the depth of the bite and an increased risk of developing serious infections. In at least 18 incidents, bite victims in Virginia were wounded so severely by attack-trained dogs that they were transferred to nearby hospitals to be treated for crush injuries, extensive muscle and tissue damage, or septic infections. Others were found to have symptoms of trauma.

[...]

In response to Insider's findings, a spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry said the department was under new leadership and would be reviewing all of its policies and practices, including its use of dogs.  Other departments defended their current protocols. The Indiana Department of Correction said all its dogs were trained "using the appropriate K9 industry standards." The Delaware Department of Correction said department dogs "assist officers in meeting their safety and security mission." A spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Corrections said the department's use of patrol dogs was governed by operation procedures authorized by Virginia law.

[...]

An attack dog's bite is powerful enough to puncture sheet metal. On people, the bites rend skin and muscle. Department patrol dogs are trained to bite once and hold to minimize flesh tears and lacerations. However, in nearly 30% of the bite reports Insider analyzed, Virginia patrol dogs bit more than once or "readjusted" their bites to different body parts in response to a victim fighting or thrashing in pain. The dogs bit arms and legs most commonly but also bit stomachs, faces, hands, feet, hips, shoulders, and genitals. In at least 15 cases over the past six years, Virginia dogs mauled people all over their bodies, biting them three, four, or even six times and leaving wounds on their arms, legs, shoulders, faces, chests, and hands.

[...]

"A hundred years ago they used to put on a white sheet and use a bloodhound against Negroes," Malcolm X said in an interview not long after the protests. "Today they have taken off the white sheet and put on police uniforms and traded in the bloodhounds for police dogs." After the brutal crackdown on people protesting the killing of Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, a half a century later, the Department of Justice investigated the Ferguson Police Department and found a range of civil-rights abuses. These included the excessive use of dogs to attack people, including children, in routine police encounters. In every case where racial information was available, Ferguson police officers had sicced their dogs on Black people.

[2024.11.07] Yuzuru Hanyu x Ajinomoto VP Kurihara Hidefumi Interview

"Yuzuru Hanyu: Reminiscing about the 'culmination' of the Beijing Olympics and a behind-the-scenes look at his 4A challenge with Ajinomoto VP Kurihara Hidefumi / Interview 1"

Hanyu has walked a solitary path through three Olympic Games, exploring nutrition and refining both his mind and body. In the 2014 Sochi Olympics, he became the first Asian male skater to win gold. At the PyeongChang Games in 2018, he became the first man in 66 years to win consecutive gold medals. In Beijing in 2022, he made Olympic history by becoming the first to be certified with a quadruple axel. Alongside him, providing support, were Kurihara Hidefumi and the team from Ajinomoto's Victory Project (VP).

Kurihara: Someone told me that there was an athlete who was having some concerns about nutrition, body building, and health. That’s when I was introduced to Hanyu.

Hanyu: That’s right. It was before Sochi... before that. I was 17.

It was the end of April 2012. It was the summer after he had moved from Sendai to Toronto, Canada. At the time, he was a second-year high school student with no interest in food at all.

Kurihara: The first thing he told me was, "I don't really like to eat."

Hanyu: I don't have a strong stomach to begin with, so sometimes I can eat and sometimes I can't. It was right after I'd gone to Canada, and there were times when the local ingredients and cuisines "suited me" and "didn't suit me." In that situation, we started by thinking about what was easy to eat, then how and when to take in the nutrients. When I couldn't eat, I was taught a lot, such as how to eat supplements. In our sport, we need to restrict ourselves (for jumping), and I was afraid of my body becoming heavy. I had a strong image of food as a diet rather than nutrition (intake).

Ajinomoto has been supporting the Japanese national team since 2003, helping athletes with "food and amino acids." This year marked the 22nd anniversary of their partnership with the Olympics, starting from the 2004 Athens Games to the Paris 2024 Games. Hanyu has been receiving "exclusive" support from them for over 10 years in winter figure skating.

Kurihara: Until Sochi, we basically focused only on physical and mental “health” and took the step of “eating three well-balanced meals every day.  Figure skating in particular is a competition in which you express your emotions and worldview to judges and spectators through your performance. So, you absolutely had to be mentally healthy as well.

Hanyu: Leading up to Pyeongchang, the themes shifted to "weight" and "activity level." When did you start that?

Kurihara: It was two years after Sochi. While managing weight and body composition, I quantified daily training volume and intensity as 'load (stress)' and monitored changes in condition over time, aligning it with performance.

"Yuzuru Hanyu: The Dream of Achieving the Unprecedented Quadruple Axel... The Key Is 'Tendon Reflex,' Along with Carb Restriction and Pressure Training / Interview 2"

Hanyu has won every title on the ice, including the six major titles at world championships known as the Super Slam, but his final dream in competition was to successfully complete a quadruple axel.

Hanyu: In terms of nutritional management, the approach leading up to the PyeongChang Olympics became the basis. Around the ages of 23 or 24, after winning two consecutive gold medals, I started saying, 'I don’t think I like feeling heavy.' Like a marathon, it’s a sport where the damage to the internal organs is greater due to constant shaking, so I also took care of my internal organs (to prevent food from remaining in my stomach). We also discussed whether it would be better to stay at the weight when I was performing at my best, or whether it would be better to build up muscle strength, as I was aiming for a quadruple axel.

Kurihara: I could tell at a glance that you had trained your legs a lot before the Beijing Olympics, such as squats to strengthen the hamstrings (back of the thighs), so I was surprised and you said, “You can tell? But…” And then you added, "The muscle strength for jumping is looking good. Now it’s all about the tendons." I was just about to say that the key to jumping a 4A is "tendon reflexes." Apparently, you had been thinking the same thing.

Hanyu: In terms of global trends, research is progressing rapidly and some things are being scientifically proven.

"Tendons" connect muscles and bones and act like springs, storing and reusing elastic energy. To use this tendon reflex to jump the quadruple Axel, Hanyu actively took amino acids and worked to strengthen his body in preparation for the Beijing Olympics. This moment was one of synergy between Hanyu’s deep understanding of body mechanics and Kurihara’s suggestions.

Hanyu laughed, saying, "I’ve been brainwashed by Kurihara," and added, "I’m really hungry to know ‘how can I improve.’ My own knowledge was never enough. That’s why I asked Kurihara and also did my own research. We shared everything, and it helped us refine things."

On June 1, 2021, before the Beijing Olympic season began, he held an online meeting with his trainer. Everything was aimed for the success of the quadruple Axel.

Kurihara: We discussed everything from tendon reflex to intense glycolytic training and aerobic training. I also developed a new amino acid that makes the tendons healthier, so I designed my training with the hypothesis that it would definitely benefit the 4A.

Hanyu: There was interval training, low-carb (sugar restriction) to pressure (blood flow restriction) training and heart rate monitoring, and both explosive and endurance training. By then, it was no longer just about 'health'; the foundation was already laid, and everything was built on top of that. (The Beijing Olympics) was the culmination of it all.

"Yuzuru Hanyu: A Touching Exhibition, ‘The best performance until the very end’ – Never-Before-Revealed Story / Interview 3"

"Life isn't all about being rewarded. But I’m happy now even though I wasn’t rewarded."

Such was the famous quote that emerged from Hanyu at the Beijing Olympics. He ended up in 4th place. He was struck by bad luck when his quadruple Salchow was blocked by a hole in the ice. Although he missed out on a medal in his third consecutive Olympics with a surprising 8th place finish in the short program, his challenge to focus all his energy on the men’s free skate on February 10, 2022, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, remains a vivid moment. The world’s first certified "4A" (quadruple Axel) was etched into Olympic history.

Kurihara: There’s something I’ve really wanted to ask you. The 4A was officially certified in Beijing… but it was still a disappointing result. Yet, you still contacted me for the exhibition (in 10 days), saying, "Kuri-san, I’ll gather energy again" and "I’ll do it." I think it was 3 or 4 days after the free skate. How did you feel during that process of replenishing energy and glycogen in the days that followed?

Hanyu: Honestly, I was really disappointed with my performance. Of course, I didn’t plan to do the 4A, but while some people see exhibitions as a kind of festival, for me it’s a place to showcase the qualities of an athlete. I thought that "all impressions would be decided" by how well I could show myself there. I was feeling down, and I thought to myself, "Why did I sprain my ankle again?" (He injured his right ankle before the free skate). But I couldn’t let my guard down. I thought, "I'll give it my best until the very last performance."

Kurihara: I was watching it on TV in the cafeteria of the athlete's village, and I was crying my eyes out. It was the best performance. It’s a moment I will never forget in my life, and I absolutely wanted to tell you that.

Even now, after turning professional and successfully performing the first-ever solo ice shows, that determination has not changed.

Hanyu: Even now, I’m still in that same mindset. How can I deliver the best performance until the very last moment? I’ve continued along that path. My right ankle was really hurting, but more than that, I wanted to show something amazing. Athletes compete in competitions with the support of so many people, including Kuri-san. In a way, I wished I could have given everything in the free skate, but I couldn’t, and it was frustrating. So, I wanted to put everything into the exhibition. I wanted to repay everyone who’s supported me by showing my best every time and producing results. That was both the pressure and a driving force for me.

"Yuzuru Hanyu: Insights from the Two-Time Olympic Champion – 'Research Based on Me' – Knowledge Accumulated as Guidance for Shows and His Juniors / Interview 4"

At the Beijing Olympics, Kurihara, who supported the entire Team Japan, entered the athlete village and worked with a chef based outside the village to provide Hanyu with 'victory meals.' He worked hard to maintain and even increase his lean body mass. Similar to the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, where the men's events were scheduled in the morning, Hanyu was required to wake up around 4 a.m., and Kurihara carefully coordinated the schedule with him.

Hanyu: The Olympics have a different schedule compared to regular competitions, so for example, there’s a routine for athletes, like 'meals must be eaten a certain number of hours before.' But often, it's not possible to follow that. We had many discussions about things like 'Should we have a snack here?' and other details.

Kurihara: We even went as far as discussing areas close to the science behind it in detail. All that’s left was to ensure that you were sent out onto the ice in the best shape. That was my role.

Hanyu: In figure skating, I was basically the only one at competitions (with exclusive support), so I think the tension while waiting for the results must have been different. It was always like, "I did what I had to do, now all I can do is wait" (laughs). I probably seemed "troublesome," but I learned a lot. I didn’t even know how many calories were in a bowl of rice, but they helped build the foundation for me to think about physical conditioning.

On the other hand, the insights gained from this support were fully accumulated on Ajinomoto’s side.

Hanyu: Every week, I would submit data on my training load and body composition and combine it with my activities to assess how my condition was. I think it probably became a part of the research as well. Did the formula match the intensity that an athlete actually feels? Even though I was only 19, I was already an Olympic gold medalist. So, over the course of more than 10 years, I think they conducted research using me as a base, examining body composition, activity levels, and calorie consumption.

After turning professional, he continues to shine in unprecedented ice shows, performing alone for over 90 minutes. His national tour, announced on October 4th, will begin on December 7th, the day he turns 30. He will once again prove his evolution. In the world of competition, the trial and error between Hanyu and Kurihara will be passed down as a success story. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Olympics, it will serve as a clear guide to light the way for his juniors.

"Yuzuru Hanyu: The Only Male Figure Skater to Achieve the Super Slam and His Career Highlights... Celebrating his 30th birthday, National Tour Kicks Off in One Month"

Professional figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (29), who won the men's Winter Olympic gold medal twice in a row, reminisced about the 2022 Beijing Olympics, expressing his gratitude for the support he received in terms of conditioning, which he described as the 'culmination of his training.' He recently had a conversation with Kurihara Hidefumi (48), team leader of the "Victory Project (VP)" by Ajinomoto, which supports the Japanese Olympic team. In the interview, Hanyu looks back at his journey to attempt the unprecedented quadruple Axel (4.5-turn jump), leading to a world’s first certified "4A." With the pre-season for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics now underway, the insights gained by supporting Hanyu’s two Olympic golds will continue to shine brightly for the next generation of Japanese athletes.

Yuzuru Hanyu (羽生結弦) Born December 7, 1994, in Izumi Ward, Sendai City. He began figure skating at the age of 4. He moved to senior level in 2010. He has won the All-Japan Championships 6 times. In 2020, he became the first male figure skater to achieve the "Super Slam" by winning all major junior and senior titles: Junior Championships (2 titles), the Olympics, World Championships, Grand Prix Final, and Four Continents Championships. In 2016, he became the first to successfully land the quadruple loop. He also set the world record for the highest score in the Short Program (SP), Free Program (FP), and Total Score (total 19 times). After returning to Japan from Toronto, Canada, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he honed his skills in his hometown of Sendai. He graduated from Miyagi Prefecture's Tohoku High School and Waseda University's School of Human Sciences (distance learning program). On July 19, 2022, he turned professional, and in February 2023, he held the first-ever solo skating performance at Tokyo Dome in history. This December 7, on his 30th birthday, he will kick off his national tour Yuzuru Hanyu ICE STORY 3rd – Echoes of Life – TOUR (3 cities) at Saitama Super Arena. He is 172 cm tall and has blood type B.

Kurihara Hidefumi (栗原秀文) Born May 2, 1976, in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo. He devoted himself to baseball from elementary school until graduating from Rikkyo University. He joined Ajinomoto in 1999, working in sales and the "Amino Vital" division, before becoming involved in the "Victory Project" (VP) in 2004. His failure to properly manage his conditioning during his university days, when he aspired to be a professional baseball player, became the driving force behind his work in supporting athletes. He is now considered the engine of the VP. For the 2024 Paris Olympics, he was in charge of supporting athletes including the judo siblings Abe, Tashiro Miku, and Tatsuru Saito, as well as the swimming delegation.

Ajinomoto Co., Inc. "Victory Project" Launched in 2003 in collaboration with the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), the "Victory Project" is a nutritional and dietary support initiative for the Japanese national team.

Java Burn Ingredients

When examining Java Burn's formula, each ingredient is chosen because of its proven health benefits and its potential to help with weight management. This part of the review looks closely at the main components.

1

L-Theanine

This natural amino acid, known as L-theanine, is present in mushrooms and tea. It has the ability to create a sensation of fullness, aiding in weight loss efforts. Research studies have indicated that regular intake of L-theanine supplements can lead to improvements in attention, focus, sleep quality, mood, and relaxation levels.

2

L-Carnitine

This ingredient, known as L-Carnitine, is an FDA-approved drug that assists in weight loss, promotes heart and brain health, and enhances overall well-being. Additionally, L-Carnitine provides various other health benefits, including regulating blood glucose and sugar levels, enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. It can also help alleviate symptoms of insomnia, nervousness, muscle fatigue, and thyroid issues.

3

Chromium

This essential trace mineral, chromium, plays a crucial role in the body by enhancing lipid metabolism, as well as processing and synthesizing proteins and carbohydrates. It also improves insulin sensitivity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that supplements containing chromium can assist individuals in managing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. As highlighted in the SDGLN Java Burn review guide, chromium works naturally in the body to reduce body weight by breaking down fat.

4

EGCG

Epigallocatechin gallate, known as EGCG, is a plant-based compound that reduces inflammation, supports weight loss, and fights chronic diseases. Studies indicate that epigallocatechin gallate protects you from cell damage and oxidative stress. It even helps increase metabolic function and lower the risk of heart disease.

5

Chlorogenic Acid

Chlorogenic acid is rich in anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-obesity properties. It even supports preventing and fighting chronic diseases. Many studies on chlorogenic acid have shown that it helps lower glucose and insulin spikes right after food intake which results in a healthy way of losing weight. With the right amount of chlorogenic acid, you can lose more weight because it helps your body absorb less sugar.

6

Caffeine

Caffeine has been proven to boost the metabolic rate, making weight loss more achievable. Research indicates that caffeine has the potential to elevate the resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the rate at which the body burns calories while at rest. A study published in the National Library of Medicine demonstrated that caffeine consumption increases fat burning in obese individuals. Additionally, caffeine aids in regulating blood sugar levels, enhancing brain function, improving memory, and potentially combating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

How Much Does Cannabis Oil Cost?

Whether you’re a new or experienced cannabis consumer, you’ve likely wondered, “how much does cannabis oil cost?” This new therapeutic product has earned high praise from medical and recreational users. Each bottle of cannabis oil, also known as a tincture, comes with varying ratios of cannabinoids at relatively steep prices compared to other health- and wellness-related products.  Despite the high markup for cannabis oil, many consumers regularly use this delivery method to reap all of the mental and physical benefits of two major cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A number of factors affect the price of the oil. You can expect to pay anywhere from $30 to up to $200 for a single bottle. Here’s what you need to know about shopping smart for cannabis oil.

How Much Does CBD Oil Cost?

CBD oil has become widely accessible to the entire nation. It’s revered for its non-psychoactive and therapeutic effects on pain, anxiety, inflammation, seizures, and other debilitating symptoms. The health and wellness aspect of CBD oil commands a premium price for its symptomatic relief. Apart from its medical applications, there are plenty of other factors that determine how much consumers pay for cannabis oil in general. Katie Stem of Peak Extracts told Weedmaps, “When examining a cost analysis from a production perspective, you look at labor, materials, packaging, labels, potency/purity testing, marketing, and shipping distribution.” For manufacturers, bulk CBD can range from $3 to $15 per gram, which works out to be less than one cent to 1.5 cents per milligram. Consumers end up paying about $50 to $60 per 1,000 mg bottle, or about 5 to 20 cents per milligram.

Why Are People Paying Premium Prices for CBD Oil?

CBD oil products, in particular, offer many potential health benefits for medical and recreational consumers. People generally buy CBD oil to help them with inflammation, pain, anxiety, stress, depression, muscle spasms, fatigue, sleep disorders, and plenty of other symptoms. Furthermore, CBD doesn’t produce the negative side effects, especially if you take the appropriate dosage. Despite the popularity of CBD oil products, their efficacy has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Only the CBD-based drug, Epidiolex, has been approved for medical use. In fact, many hemp companies have received warning letters from the FDA for claiming unproven health benefits on its packaging and advertising. While CBD oil can help supplement a conventional treatment plan, it’s important to consult with your physician before starting a cannabis oil regimen.

How Much Does Cannabis Oil Cost?

Cannabis oil varies in price based on cannabinoid content, as well as the region where it’s sold. Seattle-based Headset published a report detailing pricing data for a variety of marijuana products in Washington State, California, Nevada, and Colorado. The price of THC oil varied by state. For example, Colorado had the highest price at 41 cents per milligram, which was 64 percent higher than Nevada’s 25 cents per milligram. California and Washington both had a 30 cent per milligram average price for THC oil. Here are just a few examples of THC oil prices in the Southern California market: - Mary’s Medicinals The Remedy THC has 1,000 mg of THC priced at $56, about 6 cents per milligram. - Raw 1:20 THC:CBD Focus tincture has 1,000 mg priced at $87, about 9 cents per milligram. - Select 1:1 Peppermint oil has 1,000 mg priced at $68, about 7 cents per milligram. - Care by Design 8:1 CBD-rich sublingual drops has about 240 mg priced at $40, about 16 cents per milligram. - Humboldt Apothecary Relax CBD 3:1 tincture has 250 mg priced at $65, about 26 cents per milligram. - Releaf 1:1 CBD:THCa tincture has 900 mg priced at $99.62, about 11 cents per milligram.

Marijuana vs. Hemp-Derived Cannabis Oil

Cannabis oil products can be derived from either marijuana or hemp plants. Both belong to the same Cannabis sativaplant species. Marijuana plants are primarily bred for a THC-rich resin, while hemp plants produce high-CBD resin with only trace amounts of THC. Hemp-derived oil tends to be more affordable than marijuana-derived oil. When shopping for cannabis oil, consumers may run across terms such as full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or distillate. Each comes with varying price points depending on many factors, including its source. Full-spectrum products contain the original chemical profile of a strain, including THC, CBD, and terpenes. Broad-spectrum contains everything in the plant but the THC, for a non-intoxicating experience. Distillates only contain one cannabinoid, either CBDA or THCA. The compounds in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum cannabis oil not only add to the aroma, but also the effects and the price. Research into cannabinoids indicate that the interaction between different cannabinoids and terpenes produces an “entourage effect.” This synergistic effect of the plant’s compounds is thought to enhance the therapeutic benefits of a cannabis product. For this reason, many medical consumers look for full- or broad-spectrum cannabis oil. However, someone who doesn’t want the aroma of intoxication of cannabis, may stick with a CBD isolate. Hemp-derived CBD oil is more widely available than cannabis-derived tinctures. Ever since the 2018 Farm Bill passed, hemp-derived CBD is legal all over the country. If you’re hoping to buy cannabis-derived tinctures, you must live in a state that allows medical cannabis (at the very least). In these states, cannabis-derived tinctures tend to be pricier because hemp isn’t as expensive to produce.

Factors Affecting Cannabis Oil Costs

A bottle of cannabis oil can vary in price based on an assortment of factors from production to marketing costs. For example, cannabis oil made from organically grown hemp from Colorado will have a higher price than oil made from a plant grown in a state with a newer market. Besides quality, potency also affects the price of a product. Cannabis oil with 1,000 mg of cannabinoids will be more expensive than oil with fewer cannabinoids per milliliter. The cannabis industry has unique costs and challenges that can drive up the price of cannabis oil. For example, lab testing requirements can force companies to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars testing their oil for contaminants. Lab testing can range from $100 to $400 per sample tested. In many cases, cannabis must be tested various times throughout the supply-chain process. Furthermore, the cannabis industry can’t write off business expenses because according to the US federal government, the marijuana plant is a Schedule I drug with no medicinal value. Dispensaries and producers may hike up their prices to offset some of these overhead costs. Industry experts believe that full legalization will help build a stronger regulatory framework for the industry to benefit both companies and consumers.

Is Cannabis Oil Lab Tested?

Certified laboratories can provide a complete analysis of licensed cannabis product samples. Third-party labs can test for potency including its cannabinoid and terpene profile. Labs also test for pesticides, microbial contamination, residual solvents, and other harmful chemicals that can remain after the extraction process. Essentially, lab testing ensures the product you are buying has the potency listed on the label. More importantly, lab testing ensures the product you are consuming has no harmful contaminants that can offset its therapeutic effects. Lab testing can significantly increase the price of cannabis oil products. However, it’s up to you to make sure your product is actually lab tested. Most companies who lab test provide a certificate of analysis (COA) on its website. Simply type in the batch number found on the packaging into their lab results page. Buying from a licensed cannabis retailer is one of the only ways to ensure you are getting a product tested by a third-party lab. While buying hemp-derived CBD oil online without lab testing may be cheaper, we recommend you spring the extra few bucks for peace of mind and security.

How to Find Reliable and Cost-Effective Cannabis Oil

Finding the right cannabis oil at the right price point can seem like an impossible task. Luckily, there are a few ways you make sure you get the most for your dollar based on your desired results. It can take a few hours, days, or weeks of research to find the right cannabis oil. While price matters, some affordable cannabis oils can be just as effective as the most expensive cannabis oils. Here are a few ways to save money on cannabis oil. - Buy cannabis oil in bulk. Larger quantities mean more upfront costs, but the product often comes with considerable savings of up to 40 percent per milligram. Manufacturers pass their savings on packaging onto you. Buying in bulk can also earn you free shipping with most hemp-derived oil companies. - Follow your favorite cannabis oil companies or retailers on their social media channels to scope out special discounts, promotions, and giveaways. - Sign up for low-income, veteran, or other financial assistance programs if you qualify. Not every company offers this perk, but the ones that do may give you a discount of more than half off if you can send qualifying proof or apply for a spot in their program. - Buy based on price-per-milligram. In order to calculate the price per milligram of a cannabis oil bottle, divide the total price of the product by the milligrams of cannabinoids in the product. - When searching for bargains, always make sure you buy cannabis oil that has a certificate of analysis (COA) from an accredited third-party laboratory ensuring you have a safe and pure products.

Will CBD Prices Ever Come Down?

Industry insiders believe the price of cannabis oil will eventually go down, but not anytime soon. The industry’s strict regulations place an enormous burden on cannabis companies in terms of testing, taxes, and other rules on the plant’s production. A variety of factors serve to limit the amount of cannabis production possible. Whether it’s commercial cannabis bans in your town or excessive licensing costs, it takes a lot of money to start up a cannabis company. Cannabis oil may never be the most affordable natural medicine available, at least compared to pharmaceutical or herbal supplement products. However, prices are expected to go down as lawmakers become more supportive of the industry. Once they remove the harsh limits imposed on weed companies, maybe then will the prices become accessible for those who truly need it. As you can see, the price of cannabis oil varies widely based on the source, quality, potency, location, size, and other manufacturing and marketing costs associated with the product. The novelty of the industry and a lack of regulation have contributed to cannabis oil’s high prices, but consumers are hopeful that one-day cannabis oil can reach an accessible price point for everyone that needs it.

RDA – The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is 600 international units (15 mcg) daily for adults through age 70 years and for children 1 to 18 years of age. For adults 71 years and older, 800 international units (20 mcg) daily is recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Vitamin D intake and effective sun exposure are often inadequate in older adults. In older adults, particularly those with osteoporosis, we suggest supplementation with vitamin D. We administer 600 to 800 international units daily.

●Causes of vitamin D deficiency and resistance – Vitamin D deficiency can be caused by unusually low sun exposure combined with lack of vitamin D-fortified foods or malabsorption. Alternatively, impaired hydroxylation of vitamin D in liver or kidney can prevent metabolism into the physiologically active form. Rarely, genetic defects may cause the end organs to be unresponsive to vitamin D, as in hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR).

●Vitamin D intoxication – Vitamin D intoxication generally occurs after inappropriate use of vitamin D preparations. Prolonged exposure of the skin to sunlight does not produce toxic amounts of vitamin D3, due to photoconversion of previtamin D3 and vitamin D3 to inactive metabolites. Symptoms of acute intoxication are due to hypercalcemia and include confusion, polyuria, polydipsia, anorexia, vomiting, and muscle weakness. Long-term intoxication can cause bone demineralization and pain. In children, the hypercalcemia can cause brain injury.

●Tolerable upper intake level – The Institute of Medicine (IOM, now called the National Academy of Medicine [NAM]) has defined the "tolerable upper intake level" (UL) for vitamin D as 100 mcg (4000 international units) daily for healthy adults and children 9 to 18 years (table 1). The UL for infants and children up to nine years old is lower. (See 'Excess' above.)

Dietary supplements for weight loss

Melt your body fat. And lose weight in a natural way. These may be catchy slogans, but are they really yielding results?

It can be difficult to counter the temptation to promise to lose weight quickly. Won't weight loss supplements lose anything but your money? Are these products safe?

What are supplements?

Dietary supplements are sold as health aids. It is an oral product. Its common components include vitamins, minerals, fiber, caffeine, herbs and other plants.

Some of the most well-known supplements claim to be able to improve nutrition, increase energy level, build muscle, or burn fat.

Supplements are not seen as medications. They are not produced to treat or cure diseases.

How to organize dietary supplements?

Companies that manufacture dietary supplements are responsible for the safety of their products. Such companies must ensure that their products are free of contaminants and labeled with accurate information.

Dietary supplements do not need to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But if the supplement is found to be unsafe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may issue warnings or request that it be withdrawn from the market.

The FDA may take action against companies that publish false or unsubstantiated claims to sell their dietary supplements.

Interpreting Weight Loss Claims

Perhaps it surprises you to learn that supplement makers rarely conduct clinical trials on them. This is part of the reason why there is little scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of supplements in weight loss.

For example, raspberry ketone supplement is marketed as a clinically approved weight-loss product. This claim is supported by one clinical trial.

The trial involved 70 obese adults. And all of them in this experiment underwent a strict diet and training regime. Participants were then randomly divided into two groups, one receiving a placebo and the other receiving a supplement containing raspberry ketone, caffeine, bitter orange extract, ginger and garlic root extract.

The 45 participants in the experiment underweight:

The average weight loss in the supplement group was 4.2 pounds (1.9 kilograms).

The average weight loss in the placebo group was 0.9 pounds (0.4 kilograms).

While these results are interesting, the small size of the trial and its duration of only eight weeks means that the results cannot be reliably generalized in practice. Most importantly, a short trial like this may overlook side effects that only appear after long-term use.

Furthermore, the experiment used a dietary supplement containing many active ingredients. That is why it is impossible to determine which of these components was responsible for weight loss.

Ideally, these preliminary results are tested in much longer trials involving hundreds of participants closely monitored for side effects. The results of such trials would allow for an informed decision as to the safety and efficacy of that product.

Until trial data are available and ready, claims about supplementation and weight loss should be treated with caution.

Understand safety concerns

Just because a product is natural doesn't mean it's necessarily safe. Some supplements are associated with serious problems such as kidney damage, although these accidents are rare.

Supplements may have powerful effects. Ephedra (Ma Huang) was previously used for weight loss. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now blocked it because it is associated with some negative effects such as mood changes, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, stroke, tremor attacks and heart attacks.

Some weight-loss supplements have been shown to contain hidden ingredients, such as prescription drug ingredients, that may have harmful effects.

Search before you buy

If you're considering supplements that help you lose weight, it's important to do your part. Check credible websites, such as those operated by the U.S. Bureau of Dietary Supplements and the National Center for Complementary Medicine and Integrative Health.

Also, be sure to talk to your doctor before taking any dietary supplement. This is especially important if you're having health problems, taking prescription medications, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Daily Vitamin D3 Dose: How Much Should You Take?

Vitamin D3 is vital for immune system support, bone health maintenance, and controlling the body's calcium levels. Although the skin naturally produces it when exposed to sunlight, vitamin D3 supplements are frequently advised because many people do not obtain enough from food or sun exposure alone.

But what is the recommended daily dosage of vitamin D3? This post will go over the suggested daily intake of vitamin D3, what influences your needs, and the possible consequences of taking too much or too little of it.

What is vitamin D3?

There are two primary types of vitamin D: vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). When exposed to sunlight, the body naturally produces vitamin D3, which is more efficient than vitamin D2 at increasing overall vitamin D levels. Additionally, fortified meals and supplements frequently contain it.

Suggested Daily Level of Vitamin D3

The amount of vitamin D3 that should be consumed daily varies depending on age, lifestyle, geography, and general health. Based on suggestions from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the following general advice is provided:

0–12 month olds: 400 IU (10 mcg)

Children (ages 1 to 18): 600 IU (15 micrograms)

Adults (19–70 years old): 15 mcg or 600 IU

Adults over 70: 20 micrograms (800 IU)

Women who are nursing or pregnant: 600 IU (15 mcg)

These guidelines aim to avoid vitamin D insufficiency and preserve average bone density. However, some individuals could require higher amounts due to certain medical disorders or other circumstances that affect their ability to absorb vitamin D.

Factors Influencing the Need for Vitamin D3

1. Exposure to Sunlight

Geographical Location: Due to their year-round lack of sun exposure, those residing in northern latitudes or places with less sunlight may need to take larger doses of vitamin D3.

Skin Type: People with darker skin may require additional supplements because they create less vitamin D from sunshine.

Lifestyle: You should naturally increase your vitamin D intake if you spend most of your time inside or wear apparel covering much of your skin.

2. Consumption of Food

Natural sources of vitamin D3 are scarce in dietary items. Some of the limited sources are egg yolks, dairy products with added nutrients, and fatty seafood. You could require supplements to achieve your daily needs if these foods aren't a part of your diet.

3. Age

The ability of your skin to produce vitamin D decreases with age, and older persons may also have decreased intestinal absorption. For this reason, it is recommended that those over 70 take a greater daily dosage of vitamin D3.

4. Medical Disorders

Vitamin D supplements are necessary because several medical problems, like Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or kidney illness.

How to Determine Your Optimal Daily Dose

While the general guidelines are an excellent place to start, your optimal daily intake of vitamin D3 may change depending on your unique situation. To ascertain the ideal dosage, take into account the following:

1. Hematologic Testing

A straightforward blood test measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D can determine your present vitamin D levels. Most people's ideal range is between 20 and 50 ng/mL. Your healthcare practitioner can then suggest a customized dose based on these findings.

2. Speaking with a Medical Expert

See a doctor if you don't know how much vitamin D3 you need or have any underlying medical concerns. They can check your levels and suggest the correct dosage to avoid toxicity or deficiency.

Vitamin D3 Deficiency Risks

A lack of vitamin D can cause several health issues, such as:

Children with rickets have weak, mushy bones.

Adult osteomalacia (weakness in the muscles and bones)

Fragile bones, or osteoporosis

higher susceptibility to autoimmune disorders and infections

For a brief period, high-dose vitamin D3 supplements (up to 5,000–10,000 IU daily) may be recommended to deficient individuals to raise their levels rapidly.

Does Too Much Vitamin D3 Make You Sick?

Even though vitamin D3 is necessary for good health, excess use is possible. For most adults, the NIH recommends an upper safe limit of 4,000 IU (100 mcg) per day; however, chronically high intakes can cause vitamin D toxicity, commonly called hypervitaminosis D.

Vitamin D poisoning symptoms include:

vomiting and nausea

Deficiency

recurring urination

Damage to the kidneys from high calcium levels

It's critical to adhere to your healthcare provider's recommendations about vitamin D3 supplementation and not exceed suggested dosages to minimize these dangers.

FAQs

1. What is the recommended daily dosage of vitamin D3?

Depending on age, different daily doses of vitamin D3 are advised:

Young children (0–12 months): 400 IU

Children (ages 1 to 18): 600 IU

Adults (ages 19 to 70): 600 IU

Adults above the age of 70: 800 IU

Women who are nursing or pregnant: 600 IU

2. Can sunlight alone provide me with adequate vitamin D3?

Sunlight can provide sufficient amounts of vitamin D3, but its production can be restricted by skin type, location, amount of time spent outside, and use of sunscreen. Supplementation is frequently required.

3. What signs and symptoms indicate a lack of vitamin D?

Fatigue, bone discomfort, muscle weakness, and an elevated risk of infections are signs of deficiency. Severe deficiency can result in rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

4. Is it possible to take too much D3?

Consuming more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day can indeed cause toxicity, which can include nausea, weakness, frequent urination, and elevated calcium levels that could harm the kidneys.

5. How can I determine if I require a vitamin D3 supplement?

To determine whether you require supplements, a blood test evaluating your 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels can be performed. If your values are less than 20 ng/mL, a vitamin D3 supplement may be recommended.

Summary

An essential vitamin for immune system support, calcium regulation, and bone health is vitamin D3. A person's age, lifestyle, and health circumstances all influence the recommended daily dosage, although most adults require between 600 and 800 IU daily. Higher doses might be necessary for some people, though, particularly if they have particular medical requirements or little exposure to the sun.

Get tested for vitamin D3 levels and speak with a healthcare provider for individualized guidance to ensure you get the recommended dosage. By taking the right supplements, you can maintain good health and minimize the dangers of deficiency.

This time, all members of the U.S. swimming team turned into "purple sweet potato spirits" after the competition, and their entire faces showed an unusual purple color. It is not that one American swimming team member has a dark purple face, but that all the American swimming team members have a purple potato color on their face. Not only the white people in the team have abnormal facial colors, but also the yellow people in the team. Outside of the American team, no matter which country they are, white people and yellow people in the same swimming pool have normal faces, even the European team has normal faces. And these same members of the American team did not have abnormal facial expressions after swimming in the international competitions last year and the year before. In the medical field, if a human's face appears such a terrible color, it is either a severe lack of oxygen, a heart attack, or the use of drugs.

All the members of the US team are obviously not severely hypoxic, so they must have taken drugs. Therefore, it can be concluded that the drugs taken by the US team this time are definitely not on the list of banned doping substances in the Olympic Games. Therefore, it can be concluded that the US team is doping. The urine test results were satisfactory. This does not mean that it is a violation if you take stimulants, but it is a violation if you take stimulants that are on the list of banned substances of the Olympic Organizing Committee. The origin of doping. The country that invented doping is the United States. The reason why the Olympics has strict doping rules is because the Americans made "unique use" of their strong drug research and development capabilities.

For the 2024 Paris Olympics, there are 391 types of "Doping List" explicitly promulgated. As long as you take one of them, you will be considered to have taken doping. This means that humans have discovered a full 391 drugs that can improve human physical functions, within just a few decades after the concept of stimulants emerged. It is very expensive to develop a new drug, and even the strongest drug research and development companies in mankind do not have the strength. This is a miracle that can only be created by the cooperation of all pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States. What the Olympic Organizing Committee can do is to follow these teams of European and American athletes who continue to take new drugs and continue to supplement and expand the doping list.

In the United States, not to mention athletes, even ordinary fitness circles are crazy about using drugs, and there are many types of drugs. There are drugs that can expand muscles at specific points, drugs that can enhance muscle recovery speed, and drugs that can enhance aerobic capacity. There are all kinds of drugs. Yes, those bodybuilders whose muscles are so powerful that they are obviously different from ordinary people usually rely on taking drugs to get into shape. When they need to be tested for competitions, they can stop taking the drugs in advance and that's it. Because of the wide application of drugs and their unique "national strength advantage" in drug research and development, the United States and Europe particularly like fields where performance can be improved simply and crudely through doping, such as track and field and swimming.Therefore, with the cooperation of Europe and the United States, the number of gold medals in track and field and swimming has been greatly expanded, which is obviously different from other events. The U.S. swimming team is called the "Asthma Team" because a large number of its members have been identified as "asthma patients" by the Olympic Organizing Committee and need to take asthma drugs regularly. If these drugs are tested positive, they cannot be regarded as taking doping.

Almost all gymnasts in the United States suffer from ADHD and require regular medication. For example, Phelps, who once created swimming miracles, is an asthma patient and epilepsy patient certified by the Olympic Organizing Committee. He can be exempted from the corresponding drug testing, allowing Phelps to take asthma and epilepsy drugs when competing.

Just such a patient suffering from all kinds of diseases broke the world record of human swimming and won 8 gold medals in one Olympic Games. But after retiring, Phelps' asthma and epilepsy miraculously improved, and he no longer needs to take medication regularly. However, Phelps, who was as strong as an ox during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is now in shape at the age of 39. His bones are broken and he is as weak as an old man.

In 2015, 653 U.S. athletes applied for drug exemptions, and the Olympic organizing committee approved 402. The number of approved players in Russia is less than 20, and the number of approved people in the Chinese team is less than 10, which is dozens of times less than the number of people in the American team. Therefore, Europe and the United States are absolutely confident in the fields of swimming and track and field. Not only do they have racial dominance, but the right to use and interpret doping is in the hands of Europe and the United States.
