As we move towards the summer months, this is a healthy reminder that:

BMI is misapplied at best and pseudoscience at worst.

That genetics have far more affect on body type than any other factor.

That a "healthy weight" varies wildly from person to person.

That your body's actual healthy weight shouldn't require constant dieting to maintain.

That some studies have shown that being slightly "overweight" based on BMI actually makes you more resilient against injury and illness.

That unless your weight is actually directly causing you mobility issues or pain, it isn't a problem.

That movement and food should be a source of joy, not self discipline and stress.

That everyone looks better in clothes that fit properly.

That being hydrated and well fed is far more important to your health than you realize.

That fed is best.

That chiseled abs are only really visible if you are dehydrated.

That feeling the sun on your skin and bird song can heal the parts of you that years of dieting and weight watching and self criticism has injured.

That you have no obligation to be sexy or beautiful.

That you should never say things about your own body that you wouldn't say about a friend's or a partner's.

That it is not a moral imperative to be healthy or mobile or skinny.

That the people who judge you for your weight are fighting their own demons.

That People are absolutely terrible at guessing a person's weight. How you dress and carry yourself has far more impact on perception.

That You don't have to be beautiful to enjoy a beautiful day.

Better happy than skinny.

Feeling good is better than looking good.

how much should you eat? (the science)

understanding how much to eat and what types of foods to include in your diet is crucial for maintaining health and well-being. it’s all about balance, variety, and moderation. here’s a breakdown:

how much you should eat:

the amount of food you need depends on various factors, including age, gender, activity level, and overall health. the general guideline is to follow the daily caloric intake recommendations. on average:

women: approximately 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day.

men: approximately 2,200 to 3,000 calories per day.

these ranges can vary significantly based on individual needs. notice how it says approximately!! it's important to consult with a healthcare provider or a nutritionist for personalized advice, -or do your own (backed) research for your lifestyle, current weight/height and body type.

types of foods:

fruits and vegetables:

recommendation: aim for at least 5 servings per day.

why: they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which are essential for overall health. fiber aids digestion and helps prevent constipation. antioxidants in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

whole grains:

recommendation: make at least half your grain intake whole grains.

why: whole grains like brown rice, oats, and whole wheat provide more nutrients than refined grains. they contain fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes digestive health. they also provide essential nutrients like b vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

protein:

recommendation: include lean protein in every meal.

why: protein is vital for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. sources include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, and seeds.

dairy or dairy alternatives:

recommendation: aim for 3 servings per day.

why: dairy products and fortified alternatives provide calcium, vitamin d, and protein, essential for bone health. choose low-fat or fat-free options to reduce saturated fat intake.

fats:

recommendation: consume healthy fats in moderation.

why: healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, are important for brain health, hormone production, and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. avoid trans fats and limit saturated fats.

the science behind it:

energy balance: the concept of energy balance is central to weight management. if you consume more calories than you burn, your body stores the excess energy as fat. if you consume fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight.

macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the three macronutrients that provide energy (calories). each plays a different role in the body:

carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of energy. they should make up 45-65% of your daily calorie intake.

proteins are crucial for tissue repair and immune function. they should constitute 10-35% of your daily calories.

fats are essential for brain health and energy storage. they should account for 20-35% of your daily calories.

micronutrients: vitamins and minerals are micronutrients needed in smaller amounts but are vital for numerous bodily functions, including energy production, immune function, and bone health.

personalized approach:

everyone’s nutritional needs are different, and what works for one person might not work for another. it’s essential to consider your lifestyle, health conditions, culture, and personal preferences when planning your diet. consulting a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian can provide personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs.

remember, a balanced diet not only supports physical health but also enhances mental well-being, energy levels, and overall quality of life. happy eating!

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing symptoms like pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, pain during sex, and infertility. Treatment for endometriosis depends on the severity of the symptoms, your overall health, and whether you want to have children in the future. Here are the main approaches that can help manage endometriosis:

1. Pain Management

• NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis.

• Prescription Pain Medications: For more severe pain, doctors might prescribe stronger painkillers or opioids for short-term use.

• Heat Therapy: Applying a heating pad or warm compress to the abdomen can help relieve pain and muscle spasms.

• TENS Therapy: A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit, which delivers electrical impulses to the skin, can sometimes help with pain relief.

2. Hormonal Treatments

Hormonal therapies are often used to reduce or eliminate menstruation, as periods can worsen endometriosis symptoms.

• Birth Control Pills: Combined oral contraceptives (the pill) can help regulate periods and reduce pain by suppressing ovulation.

• Progestin-only Treatments: Progestin injections, implants, or intrauterine devices (IUDs) can help control the growth of endometrial tissue.

• GnRH Agonists: These drugs, such as Lupron or Zoladex, work by shutting down ovarian hormone production and inducing a temporary menopausal state, which can help shrink endometrial tissue and reduce pain. However, they often have significant side effects, including hot flashes and bone thinning.

• Danazol: This synthetic male hormone can reduce estrogen levels and shrink endometrial tissue, but it has side effects like acne and weight gain.

• Aromatase Inhibitors: These medications decrease estrogen production and can be used in combination with other treatments.

3. Surgical Treatment

Surgery can be considered for women with severe symptoms or if other treatments haven’t worked.

• Laparoscopy: This minimally invasive procedure allows the surgeon to remove or destroy endometrial tissue. It’s commonly used to treat endometriosis when other treatments aren’t effective.

• Hysterectomy: In cases where endometriosis is severe and other treatments have not worked, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be considered, sometimes with removal of ovaries. However, this is typically only recommended for women who no longer wish to have children.

• Excision or Ablation: Surgeons may remove endometriotic lesions or use laser or heat to destroy the tissue.

4. Lifestyle and Complementary Therapies

• Diet: Some studies suggest that a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods (such as omega-3 fatty acids from fish or flaxseeds, and antioxidants from fruits and vegetables) may help alleviate some symptoms. Reducing intake of red meat, trans fats, and processed foods may also be beneficial.

• Exercise: Regular physical activity can improve overall well-being, reduce inflammation, and potentially help manage pain.

• Acupuncture: Some women report pain relief and improved symptoms with acupuncture, although more research is needed to fully support its effectiveness.

• Stress Reduction: Practices like yoga, mindfulness, or meditation can help manage stress and may contribute to pain relief.

• Supplements: Some people find that omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, curcumin (from turmeric), and magnesium help reduce pain and inflammation, though it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider before starting any supplements.

5. Fertility Treatments

If endometriosis is affecting fertility, treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended. Fertility-preserving options like egg freezing may also be considered for women who want to preserve their fertility before pursuing aggressive treatments.

6. Alternative Therapies

• Herbal Remedies: Some women explore herbal treatments like chamomile, ginger, or vitex (chaste tree), which are believed to help with menstrual regulation and pain. However, their efficacy is not well-established, and some herbs can interact with other medications.

• CBD Oil: Some women report relief from pain with CBD oil, though more research is needed.

7. Support and Counseling

• Support Groups: Connecting with others who have endometriosis can provide emotional support and practical advice on managing symptoms.

• Counseling or Therapy: Chronic pain conditions like endometriosis can lead to mental health struggles, such as anxiety or depression. Therapy or counseling can help you cope with the emotional impact of the condition.

Managing Endometriosis in Daily Life

• Track Your Symptoms: Keeping a symptom diary can help you and your doctor understand your condition better and tailor treatments accordingly.

• Work-Life Balance: It can be challenging to manage work, school, or social activities when you’re in pain. Finding accommodations at work or school and giving yourself permission to rest is essential for managing the condition.

• Educate Yourself: Knowledge is empowering. Understanding your condition and the available treatment options can help you make informed decisions about your health.

Consultation with a Healthcare Provider

Since endometriosis varies widely in its severity and impact on different individuals, it’s important to work closely with a healthcare provider to find the most appropriate treatment for your specific case. In some instances, a specialist in gynecology or reproductive health may be necessary for optimal care.

Edit: Apparently his name is Yuuta, 16 yo. Maybe his surname is Mito, from what I heard in Reddit. I also read there that his family owns a Chinese restaurant, until you have better sources or find where it says that yourselves don't take it as official.
