Why Omega-3 Fish Oil Capsules are Essential for a Healthy Life

Incorporating omega-3 fish oil capsules into your diet can provide numerous health benefits. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that our bodies cannot produce on their own, making it crucial to obtain them through diet or supplements. Omega-3 fish oil capsules are a convenient and effective way to ensure you get these vital nutrients. They support heart health, brain function, and much more.

Find below five reasons why you should consider adding omega-3 fish oil capsules to your daily routine.

Supports heart health

One of the most well-known benefits of omega-3 fish oil capsules is their positive impact on heart health. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. They also prevent the formation of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. By taking omega-3 fish oil capsules regularly, you can support your cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of heart-related issues.

Enhances brain function

Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain health. They support cognitive function, improve memory, and can even reduce the risk of mental decline associated with aging. DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil, is a major structural component of the brain. Regular intake of omega-3 fish oil capsules can help maintain brain health, enhance mental clarity, and potentially lower the risk of conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

Reduces inflammation

Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous health problems, including arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the body. This can alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and improve overall health. By incorporating omega-3 fish oil capsules into your diet, you can reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Promotes eye health

Omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in maintaining eye health. DHA is a major structural component of the retina, and a deficiency in omega-3 can lead to vision problems. Studies have shown that omega-3 supplements can reduce the risk of macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness. Taking omega-3 fish oil capsules can help protect your eyes and maintain good vision as you age.

Improves skin health

Omega-3 fish oil capsules can also benefit your skin. Omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain the skin's lipid barrier, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness. They can also reduce inflammation, which can alleviate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Regular intake of omega-3 can improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and give your skin a healthy, youthful glow.

Final thoughts

Omega-3 fish oil capsules offer a wide range of health benefits, from supporting heart and brain health to reducing inflammation and promoting eye and skin health. Incorporating these capsules into your daily routine can help you achieve optimal health and prevent various health issues. As with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting to ensure it is right for you. Embrace the benefits of omega-3 fish oil capsules and take a proactive step towards a healthier, more vibrant life.

How to Use Super Greens Powders

Incorporating super greens powders into your daily routine is straightforward:

Smoothies: Blend the powder with fruits, milk or yogurt, and other smoothie ingredients for a nutritious boost.

Water or Juice: Mix the powder with water, coconut water, or a juice of your choice for a quick and easy nutrient infusion.

Just added two scoops of preworkout and creatine to my protein smoothie where I also blended up the vitamins I missed yesterday, which is very Bruce Wayne core.

But it does make me think — I’ve seen debate on here about how someone with Bruce’s physique could survive on just smoothies/juices, so I’m here to tell you.

-fruits/vegetables for micronutrients and fiber are blended up

-anywhere from 60-100g of protein in each serving (there’s some debate as to how much the body can actually absorb in one sitting)

-two scoops creatine / other supplements (these are a fine powder and disappear into whatever you mix them in)

-multiple scoops of whey based protein powder (optimal type for muscle recovery)

-full fat Greek yogurt for protein and live cultures, and for calories

-liquid or powdered multivitamins

-liquid or powdered greens, other medications, more caffeine powder if needed

Between the massive protein load, caffeine from the preworkout, and nutrients from the other items, you’re looking at a 1) high calorie 2) nutritionally optimized 3) shake/smoothie that can be consumed in one sitting. It might even taste good, too.

I imagine you could make this anywhere from 600-1000 calories, depending on which ingredients you use. So yes, theoretically someone of Bruce’s bulk and activity level could survive on a few of these a day.

Do you have any tips on how to not lose hair? I’ve been watching my weight and eating less than 1000 cals for three weeks and have already lost a ton of hair. Is there anything I can do to minimize it?

hey! here are some tips

protein intake, even though you're eating fewer calories, you can also increase your protein intake by making sure that the food you're eating (that are low in calories) have enough protein. if you can't eat more food, you can take supplements like whey, or plant based protein powder

managing stress, stress can be the cause of hair loss, so focus on stress management techniques like yoga, meditation, and breathing excersises.

hydration, make sure to keep yourself hydrated. drink plenty of water to keep your body and scalp hydrated

hair care routine, use gentle, nourishing hair care products. avoid over-washining, excessive heat styling, and harsh chemical treatments. have scalp massages with oils like coconut or castor oil to improve circulation and promote hair growth

nutrient-dense foods, even with a low calorie intake, you should prioritise foods that are packed w/ essential nutrients. foods like leafy greens, berries, lean proteins, nuts, and seeds can provide you with nutrients without adding too many calories

feyneth (feyre x gywn) pls. they’re my recent obsession. lemon tarts are their thing if that helps

Feyre can't recall the precise moment she falls for her sister's best friend. In the haze of young adulthood, still so deep in the closet she was practically being strangled by scarves, she remembers liking Gwyn's hair.

Begging for a chance to play hairdresser for the seniors going to their house parties and formals, knowing she'd get a chance to run her hands through strands of copper and rust, and drown in the sweet scent of strawberry shampoo.

Gwyn, all smiles and bubbly laughter, freckles and sunlight would hug her. Nothing like her sister's awkward one armed embraces, these were hugs that warmed her from the inside out.

And when Nesta's gang would stumble into the night in a haze of vodka and Victoria Secret bodyspray, Gwyn would always turn back to wave at Feyre, a secret smile and flutter of manicured nails that would sustain that hidden part of her until their next encounter.

***

When her sister left for college things were quieter in Velaris. She was gone too, brilliant Gwyn, off to study Medieval History with her pretty boyfriend, Azriel Scatha, following her.

He was a model. They met at the lake, the hangout of Velarian youth since the dawn of time. He was handsome, Feyre supposed, in that clinical symmetrical way. Each angle accounted for, each feature blending perfectly with the other. Not exactly exciting to look at, not with Gwyn beside him, she who made sunflowers turn towards her over their namesake.

She loses Gwyn but finds herself in the years that follow. Grows into a body that never felt like hers in ruffles and skirts. Between bench presses and deadifts, creatine and whey protein she starts to like what she sees in the mirror.

Her mother despairs. Too big, too muscular, too much. She finds quiet acceptance in the way Elain cuts her hair, says nothing when she requests it short, her sister who has relished plaiting her hair since she was five simply asks for a Pinterest reference and picks up a scissors, bearing their mother's proceeding hysterics with saint-like patience. Nesta takes her clothes shopping on the holidays. Her sister, still sarcastic and so different to her, never comments on her sartorial choices and shuts down any festive family criticism thrown her way. In their own ways they tell her again and again she is enough.

***

She is half-way through her undergraduate degree when she meets Gwyn at a Christmas party. Drunk on eggnog and kisses from Mor, a casual college fling at her favourite hook-up spot, the old willow by the green, she doesn't recognise the lithe frame of Gwyneth Berdara splayed on the counter, pale legs blocking passageway to the gin.

'Hey gorgeous, mind moving please?'

She says, texting Lucien as she does, more focused on finding the exact emoji to convey her disgust with the Vanserra than another drunk body in a veritable sea of them.

'Little Fey!'

Glancing up, she feels the instinctual blush rise to her cheeks at the unappreciated childhood nickname. Gwyn, in sequined glory is scanning her from tip to toe in disbelief.

Coughing she murmurs, only just audible in the relative quiet of the kitchen,

'Not exactly little anymore, G.'

Gwyn blinks, pupils widening and teeth digging into her full lower lip, before giggling nervously, jumping from the counter. Now standing, she is just shorter than Feyre in her kitten heels. She extends her arms and Feyre engulfs her in a hug that tastes of long ago, warmth and sunshine.

That's where the comparison to the old embrace ends because now, with their bodies pressed close, her breath on Feyre’s neck, electricity spikes and singes her nerve endings. Judging from how Gwyn tenses before digging her nails in, just slightly, to Feyre's flanelled side and releasing a quiet whimper she feels it too.

Bolstered by that one small sound and the insatiable need to show Gwyn exactly how much she's grown from that awkward gangly freshman Feyre takes her sweet time letting go.

It wouldn't make sense when Gwyn fits so well in her toned arms. It is Gwyn who finally disentangles herself, but stays standing far too close to Feyre for polite company, so that the constellations of freckles that smatter her pretty upturned nose almost overwhelm the power of her gaze.

'I..I..haven't seen you around.'

Gwyn stutters, gaze fixed on Feyre’s mouth before she blinks and studies the tiled floor like it contains the meaning of life.

'I live off-campus.'

Feyre shrugs lazily, pathetically hoping Gwyn notices her traps as she moves. It was chest and back day today after all.

'Nesta mentioned you're living in that PhD accomodation on campus right, little G.'

That gets Gwyn's attention, her head darting indignantly up before she laughs at the teasing grin plastered on Feyre’s face.

'Yes I am, you brat.'

Her lip is being worried by her sharp teeth again, a job Feyre would happily volunteer to do.

'Where's Azriel?'

The words come out more gruff than the light and casual Feyre was aiming for.

'Not on the scene. Not for a while. Any girlfriends?'

Gwyn throws back.

'Not for a while.'

Feyre's smile sharpens, becoming all canines, when she spots Gwyn fixated on the hickey on her tanned neck.

Mor was a biter.

'Any girlfriends for you, little G?'

Feyre leans in a hair until she can smell the same strawberry sweetness, until Gwyn's lips are so close, divine temptation.

'Not...not yet.'

The words are breathless as manicured nails trace Feyre's bare forearm until like long ago she is utterly consumed by Gwyneth Berdara. Each atom of her straining to be closer, fizzing with excitement at the prospect of further touch.

When Feyre presses her thumb to those glossed lips to rub the faint teeth marks imprinted on plush pink, Gwyn's sooty lashes flutter shut.

She is loveliness incarnate in the harsh unforgiving light of the back kitchen.

Feyre swallows and gathers her courage

'How about I show you the willow tree, love?

The Harvest is in the Freezer, and life is a process.

This is 3/4 of this years Wild Berry Juice, we make 12 gallons a year and ferment about two fluid ounces a day in our Kefir ( yogurt ).

It makes the Polyphenols more available by cutting them into smaller bits and binding them to peptides that are cut from the milk protein.

We started picking in July when the Mahonia aquifolium aka Oregon Grape began ripening. Spring was early but Summer was a bit late here. When we had cleaned out most of the Oregon Grape we went to the coast for Gaultheria Shallon aka Salal Berry. I don't know that you can ever get enough Salal, but as the Black Berries started coming on we grabbed as many Blackberries as we could before a much needed rain ruined the rest to the crop. By then Vaccinum Ovatum aka Evergreen Huckleberry was on out at the coast. Besides picking this berry for Juice we also pick it for cooking goodies and garnishing this and that and salads too.

It is a fiddling lot of work to clean for cooking. You have to destem about 2/3 of the harvest That bucket full can take two people working together three days to clean. Don't worry about the leaves and green berries. The leaves are collected for Tea, It is almost as good for you as the berries, and the green berries will ripen off the vine when left out doors in good light.

We also cut our local Sambucus aka Elderberry. The glove is more about the brush I'm working in rather than the Elderberry it's self which is thornless on its own.

When I’m feeling depressed, it can be nearly impossible to take care of myself, and that includes eating. Here’s a list of some foods that require little to no effort (aka: can be eaten right out of the package or just need to be microwaved), mainly for my personal reference, but also so others can find easier alternatives when they’re struggling.

Water bottles or canned water - stay hydrated!!

vegetables - green beans, peas, corn, black/kidney/pinto beans, chickpeas (all canned or microwaveable frozen bags) - I’ve also tried Harvest Snaps, which are baked snap peas & they’re v good

Fruit - grapes, raisins (or any other dried fruit like apricots/dates), mandarin oranges, apples, applesauce cups, bananas, pears, peaches, etc. (most fruits require no prep anyway, but especially if they’re canned - you can also buy frozen bags)

Canned soup or chicken, beef, or veggie broth

Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, mac and cheese, chow mein) or instant rice are my go-tos. You can buy these in individual cups or bulk packs.

Any microwaveable food - frozen/tv dinners, burritos, toaster strudels (they make an egg bacon & cheese version too!), mini pizzas, breakfast sandwiches… there’s a lot you could do here :)

Dairy - Yogurt, cheese sticks, (or just straight up eat cheese slices, there are no rules here), cottage cheese, almond/oat/soy milk, powdered milk (if you want something shelf-stable)

Grains & carbs - cereal, crackers, chips, popcorn, toast or bagels (I’ve eaten plain bread before tbh and it kinda slaps), Oatmeal (these packets are dinosaur themed & have little sugar eggs!! - https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs)

Nuts - peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, walnuts, trail mix, etc.

Meat - deli turkey, trail bologna, spam, jerky, frozen chicken strips or nuggets, Morningstar vegetarian corn dogs, canned tuna

Eggs

Fast food or take-out is also a good option if you don’t feel like making anything yourself.

A little tip - most foods you would take on a camping or hiking trip are great! for some, all you need to do is add water & heat it up. they are usually on the expensive side, though!! here’s some I’ve found that are decent:

https://mountainhouse.com/

Things to keep on hand for particularly bad days:

⁠Boost/ensure/Soylent - liquid meals for when the idea of chewing or mixing anything is too much.

⁠disposable cutlery/bowls/utensils so you don’t have more dishes to worry about.

Multivitamins

Liquid IV, Gatorade, or some other form of electrolytes. It’s too easy to get dehydrated!

If you do have a little energy to cook or make something, here’s some ideas:

If you have a blender: frozen spinach + frozen banana + shelf stable almond milk + peanut butter makes a great smoothie.

frozen fruit + frozen spinach/kale for smoothies

Adding whey protein makes it more filling.

⁠dried pasta + jarred pasta sauce (Rao’s is low sugar and awesome, but pricey) + frozen meatballs

Boil tortellini on hand. Its as easy as boiling water. You can eat it plain, add a spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with a little olive oil or butter and some garlic salt, or pour it back in the pan after draining and add a little pasta sauce

⁠frozen fried rice + frozen stir fry veggies

⁠favorite frozen protein and veggies for sheet pan meals

⁠canned refried beans with a tortilla and some cheese to microwave, can add extra toppings too

⁠oatmeal + pb + dried fruit of choice

⁠rice cakes + pb + jam (or substitute bread if you have it)

Rotisserie chicken in a salad, soup, sandwich or wrap

Frozen salmon with some veggies

air fryer foods - chicken nuggets, tenders, fries, etc. You can also toss different vegetables (baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in a little olive oil and throw them in there

chicken broth & frozen dumplings - you can dress it up a little with some miso, soy sauce or other seasonings. You could also add some frozen vegetables.

snack type food - a combination of canned Garbanzo beans and black olives. The olives are salty enough that you can get low sodium beans and it will still taste good.

A lot of these ideas I stole from the good people of Reddit (particularly r/depressionmeals)!Here’s the post I referenced if you’d like to look further into it:

What is the number 1 fastest way to lose weight?

Combining a calorie deficit with frequent exercise remains the best way to lose weight quickly. However, supplements can play a supportive role in your weight loss journey, but they are not a magic solution on their own. Here's how supplements can help:

Appetite Suppressants: Some supplements, like those containing fiber or certain plant extracts, may help you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie intake. However, they should be used as part of a balanced diet and not as a sole means of weight loss.

Metabolism Boosters: Certain supplements claim to boost metabolism, which can lead to increased calorie burning. Common ingredients include caffeine, green tea extract, and capsaicin. While they may have a modest effect, their impact on weight loss can be limited.

Fat Burners: Fat-burning supplements often contain ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract, or L-carnitine, which are claimed to enhance fat oxidation. Again, their effects are generally not dramatic and should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Vitamins and Minerals: Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can hinder weight loss efforts. Taking a high-quality multivitamin can ensure you're getting essential nutrients while on a calorie-restricted diet.

Protein Supplements: Protein is essential for maintaining lean muscle mass, and protein supplements like whey protein can help you feel full and support muscle preservation during weight loss.

Meal Replacement Shakes: Some people find it convenient to replace one or two meals a day with a low-calorie, nutrient-dense shake. These can help control calorie intake and provide essential nutrients.

It's important to note that supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. They should complement your overall weight loss plan rather than be the primary focus. Furthermore, the effectiveness of supplements can vary from person to person, and not all supplements are safe or suitable for everyone.

Ultimately, successful and sustainable weight loss is achieved through a combination of lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and healthy habits. Supplements should only be considered as part of a comprehensive approach to weight management.

Winter, unloading groceries from the bags: Chicken breast, chicken breast, thighs, thighs, spices spices-

Cinder: The spices have names it would benefit you to learn the difference between them all

Winter, nonchalantly: Why when I have a personal chef like you… Cabbage, cabbage seeds, cabbage seeds, cabbage seeds— why do we have forty packs of cabbage seeds?

Cinder: As your chef I want you to stop asking so many questions and just trust that I know how much nutrition your dump truck ass needs

Winter, suddenly flushed: I’m losing weight!

Cinder, gently clapping Winter’s shoulder with a smirk: Indeed and that’s great but more green things less whey and protein will help you all the more

[faggotcitosis]

i figured out the perfect protein packed snack: one scoop of a cream flavored whey protein (it can be vanilla, cream, custard), add some water until it's creamy + seedless green grapes

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

I typed in “highest protein foods ever” and — aside from whey protein and other things like fresh haddock and pollock which are extremely expensive — it turns out tuna has the highest protein content per calorie, followed somewhat closely by chicken breast. It looks like oats and brown rice have a decent amount of protein as well so I’ll have to get some in bulk.

So I went to Aldi (I’m from America and we have Aldi Sud, which is different than Aldi Nord; Aldi Nord is on the boycott list) and purchased six cans of albacore tuna, one can of chicken breast, two cans of French-style green beans, two cans of potatoes, and one can of carrots. I also purchased two dozen eggs (in cardboard; not styrofoam, of course) and a giant container of vinegar for use as a multipurpose cleaner and laundry detergent which will probably last me at least half a year.

$18.85 hell yeah AND I didn’t break the eggs on the way home despite getting irritated with the stupid “press to cross” button because it DOESN’T FUCKING WORK and basically rushing in front of a car because I wasn’t about to wait for it to turn when it didn’t turn last time after two full cycles. I knew I could make it if I swerved left a little and I did. I didn’t get hit. I’m not dead. This is not my ghost speaking. It didn’t faze me at all; I know the driver is probably shaken though. Sorry, man.

Once I get the brown rice I can make tuna and vegetable stir fry with an egg scrambled in. I’m sure my neighbors will appreciate the smell SJDBJDJDNDNDJDJNDNSNSN that’s what they get for making the heat vents smell like weed. Tuna attack. Suck it. I’ll need to ride my bike for 45 minutes straight over “gentle hills” (gentle my ASS) soon so I’ll cook that meal the night prior and have it for breakfast. I have a small can of orange soda I saved from the staff break room when we had treats, which I will take with me in case I need sugar on the road.

Other things I’m noticing from riding a bike around all the time:

The webbing between my thumbs and forefingers feels raw from rubbing on the handlebars all the time

Riding into a strong gust of wind IS THE LITERAL DEVIL

”Push to cross” buttons don’t work half the time. They do the BEEP beep but they don’t change the picture to the little white walking man. Yay for pedestrian safety! /s

I am not as in shape as I thought

Ride as hard as you can on dips then stop pedaling when going back up to conserve energy and not kill yourself

Selecting Your Food Supplements – Quality Matters

Are you tired of scouring the web, looking for the best food supplements or nutritional supplements? The internet is flooded with countless flooded with numerous dietary supplement options. If you are looking for the food supplements for the first time and you are new to this then you are likely to be confused with the options available. Most of us do not know how to select our food supplements and as a result, we make mistakes.

One of the most common approaches when screening hair skin and nails vitamins is to limit oneself to the cost factor. People tend to settle for the lowest priced supplements available online without paying attention to the other crucial aspects. Health supplements promise a wide range of benefits but all the benefits promised could be enjoyed only when the supplements you choose work exactly the way they promise to work. In reality, that is never the case. Not all brands are made equal. So, if you are going to look for the lowest priced supplements then it may not be the best way to select your food supplements.

You should instead make quality your priority when ordering your omega 3 fish oil capsules. Only by sourcing the finest quality food supplements you can be sure of getting the promised results or else you would be wasting whatever money you spend on them. When we take a quality-based approach it is important to find out whether the food supplements you are selecting are made of natural ingredients. Supplements made of non-GMO ingredients and natural ingredients are considered safer as opposed to chemical-based supplements. The nutritional supplements you take must fill the gap in your diet and help your overall health. It must not undermine your health.

Food supplements can be ordered online conveniently. However, you need to first screen your online suppliers. The quality of the supplements you order will depend on the suppliers you choose. Before placing the order, you must check the reputation of the supplier. You must also ensure that the supplements you order are delivered on time. When you pick reputed suppliers, you do not have to worry about such issues. You will get excellent quality supplements delivered on time.

You do not have to be paranoid, there are many reliable suppliers of dietary supplements. It is just a matter of time that you spot them. If you are going to rush through your orders without adequate screening of the suppliers and without checking the customer feedback then it would be your fault. All the information you need are just a few searches away.

Once you establish the credibility of a supplier, you will be able to go back to that supplier for all your subsequent requirements. Therefore, it is worth investing time in the screening process. Screen multiple suppliers before you narrow down on your choices. This will simplify your food supplements sourcing process down the line as you will not be required to screen your supplier for every order.

Are Canada's food labeling laws really lax? @thetabirb 's mom brought us a variety of these "hot chocolates"

[Image Description: a torn and empty packet of drink mix. The packet is green, with a cartoony dancing green T-Rex. The torn top is branded "Gourmet Village", and the packet is labeled "Green Color Changing White Hot Chocolate Mix", with it repeated on the bottom in French ("Mélange Pour Chocolat Chaud Blanc Qui Devient Vert"). In the bottom corners it says in tiny letters "Artificial flavor/Aromes Artefciels". End I.D]

from the northern border but the interesting thing is, uh

[Image Description: the white back of the packet, showing the ingredients (and two seals, one declaring it gluten free and the other declaring it vegetarian). The ingredients are: sugars (sugar, corn syrup solids), modified milk ingredients (whey protein concentrate, dairy product solids), coconut oil, salt, dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, cellulose gum, guar gum, artificial flavours, silicon dioxide, turmeric, annatto, tartrazine, Sunset Yellow FCF, Brilliant Blue FCF. Contains: Milk". Beneath that the ingredients are repeated in French. End I.D]

There's no actual chocolate in it. And not even in a white chocolate way, where there's cocoa butter but no cocoa powder and cocoa solids. There's no cocoa anything, meaning it's not chocolate. Which works for me because cocoa powder and solids give me vomiting migraines (the cocoa butter in white chocolate is fine), and it bypasses the ethics of supporting the consumption of slave-made chocolate, but. I'm baffled

In the U.S this would have to be called something like "chok'lit drink" or something. It's why we have "cheez" or "kreme", because they can't legally be called cheese or cream given their ingredients and/or formulation, or vegan foods are called "chik'n" and the like. There's even a push by the dairy industry to ban the marketing and calling of calling plant-based milk, "milk". And I know the E.U is even more anal about food designations. Theta and I were in disbelief that it didn't have any cocoa anything in it last night. Out of six different packets, only one of them had actual cocoa product in it.

(Also I drank my "hot chocolate" already, but one thing it was honest about was that it actually did turn my milk green.)

[selfpositiveundertale]

Another update, hopefully less bleak than the last one.

So on Wednesday I broke down in front of my chiropractor telling him what's going on with me. I apologized for breaking down and he said it's okay, he knows that blood sugar dropping can make a person very emotional. He was surprised to hear that I'd had a green smoothie consisting of whey protein powder, a cup of mixed greens, a ripe banana, and a cup of oat milk immediately before coming to the appointment and not even an hour later I already felt famished like I hadn't had anything all day, but he suggested that getting more fats in my diet might help me hold onto my food longer and keep my blood sugar at a reasonable level longer, so I should be consuming more butter, nut butters, avocado, coconut oil, etc. Putting peanut butter or avocado in my green smoothies, having avocado on whole grain toast like the millennial I am, and I think I'll go back to the special way I was making coffee a while back that involved heavy cream and MCT oil powder. I'll post how I do that in a separate post. I also mentioned to him that I was seriously considering purchasing liver and bones from the butcher shop to get more protein and iron in my system, and he approved of that idea as well.

After my husband picked me up from my appointment, we got food from our favorite local Chinese restaurant, and the orange chicken, fried rice, egg roll, and crab rangoon actually lasted longer in my system and kept me stable longer than anything else I'd had in the last week or two. Lots of fat in all that Chinese food. It was great. The chef seemed to have gotten a little enthusiastic with the spiciness of the orange chicken but I definitely wasn't complaining.

The next day I made a green smoothie and added a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter and that did help it to stay in my system a little longer, but it didn't have enough sugar since I only had half a banana to put in it.

So I'm thinking when we go grocery shopping this weekend, I'll get extra bananas, maybe apples, avocados, some whole grain bread, two jars of peanut butter, and heavy cream along with our usual items. And when we go to the butcher shop I'll see how much liver costs, I already know bones are sold at a reasonable price, and I'll ask the butcher if he can recommend how best to cook the liver, and if I can put it in the slow cooker.

I did more googling and found that low blood sugar isn't uncommon in people who have fibromyalgia, so I'll send my rheumatologist a message and ask about that.

Things are looking less hopeless, and it looks like I have some solutions almost within reach. Just have to make the grocery trip tomorrow.

Right now I feel my blood sugar dropping, so I think I'll go try to make something to eat. I had a bowl of greens loaded with butter, garlic, and salt pork earlier and it was very good and lasted a while but now I need more food. Might cook some more greens and see if I can make some mashed potatoes as well because I might need carbs. Might even cook the rest of the bacon we got from the butcher shop last week since I'm sure it needs to be cooked asap. Hopefully I can stand up long enough to cook. I'm in a lot of pain rn that's going to make being on my feet difficult.

Wish me luck, and stay determined.

Also @ the person who replied to my last update: thank you so much for your kind words. I needed that. ❤️❤️❤️
