Stealth Health Wealth
April 20th, 2024
Health is most important.
Just came to realization I probably had inflammatory arthiritis since childhood. Joints get sore in depressive episodes, especially in response to biologically-taxing foods.
Came to the realization the facial features are natural signals of hormonal state. Not that any set of hormones are more ideal than another---with the exception of high cortisol levels (stress) being worse for beauty---but it is key to note that hormonal health during development probably influences face shape more than the general population realizes. To have beautiful children: optimize hormonal health!
If I do have children, I'd probably do the following bullet points:
- Reduce biological-taxing, stressful foods to zero (burgers, pizza, greasy foods, sugary foods, candy, boba tea, sweet tea, dairy, etc.)
- Increase biologically destressful foods (dark leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, high anti-oxident foods, fruits, roots, tubers, vegetables, garlic, etc.)
- Eat whole foods that my great-great-great-great-grandma would know of
- Encourage regular sleeping time by controlling household light exposure (automatic light dimming towards 9PM.)
- Running with them after school and getting more park/green-space exposure for cardio and microbiome health
With my philosophical musings and tirades, I think I'd refrain from any moral teachings. It's obvious to me at this point that children don't listen to lectures. They model behaviour and execute from then on. Any failure on character of the child is likely due to understimulation/overstimulation of diet/exercise/sleep or a lack of a strong role model.
My mother would always---and still does---complain about my moral character. The funny thing is, whenever I fixed my metabolic health the pieces just fall in place. Things become okay.
Schizophrenia - A close call?
Was I going down the path of schizophrenia? Considering I have heard voices before, especially in times of distress, I'd say yes.
It's so strange how these things happen. But luckily, I think I fought hard enough to figure it out for myself. I am no longer hearing voices at all.
I am 100% anti-sugar! Pro-keto, but not following a keto diet. I think my body already uses the fat when I run long distance, anyway.
Metabolism before Socialization
To me, metabolic health comes first before being granted social benefits. For example, autism and ADHD symptoms are exaggerated when I am anxious and inflammed. This causes me to say the wrong things, miscommunicate, and for there to be general awkwardness connecting to others. A total disconnect.
Wealth
Health is wealth. Stealth health is wealth. Stealth wealth is health. You need wealth to be healthy. I am blessed.
It's funny how we are in such an agricultural revolution, famine has been eliminated, yet we are still so sickly.
Remember the Words
And... remember the nature of words. And senses. Just kind of... relax, yeah? The words aren't the truth of the matter. The words aren't the reality; the map not the territory.
