  • Do You Eat Red Meat Regularly?

Seagull Thank's Seagull... I'll try to give new devices a little more time to see if I get used to it. I'm already there on the red meat and dairy.

This gives me a lot of hope!

    qb74 I would probably add: Make sure you get good supplement from good natural ingredients, as those differ a lot in quality and price too.

    Also, treating an effect will not treat a cause. I bet most of people here suffer from some level of burnout, as those eye strainy macbooks will fast-track this condition for you.

      I will not debate whether this or that specific food is ok or not. I will quote that "one man's meat is another man's poison". I think far too many people blindly follow this or that advice, ignoring what their own body is feeling.

        photon78s True, but there is an overlap too, we are all humans after all, there are some fundamental laws that equally apply to everyone, regardless of differences.

            Agree. Speaking of fundamental laws, I should mention that I am reading the chapter called "culinary alchemy: herbal food, kitchen medicine" from this book which goes into some detail about making these kind of food choices but from oriental medicine perspective. Personally, I do sometimes eat red meat but maybe at most once a week, mostly less.

                photon78s Looks like interesting read, Chinese medicine is known to be following slightly different paradigm and producing good results. Yet, I do not want to label myself as sick yet 🙂 I truly believe my worst things started the moment I went all in into apple world. I feel like apart from hardware stuff, there is strong neuromarketing element, where you kind of almost forget your body signals when surrounded with addictive shiny objects 🙂 Almost could be related to King Midas story, even if originally it was about something else. And now while I'm using my lenovo laptop with windows 11 and no apps for dithering or other stuff, I have realized - I have no annoying eye strain, anxiety, but I have neck tension. Perhaps my posture is not right, perhaps I need to move my head around at some point in time during a day, perhaps there is a psychological element to my work etc. And it is a good sign, as I am not falling into mental bias of "the one and only cause" 🙂

                    i didnt eat red meat for most of 2022-2023. trying iron and taurine supplements now.

                    Donux slightly different paradigm

                    From what I'm reading, it is similar to the difference between chemistry and physics or particle versus wave perspectives. Both are useful/necessary paradigms and their is overlap. From the book, it describes the differences as viewing your body as mechanism with discrete parts like a car or computer that can be fixed by changing or replacing each part separately from the whole versus looking at body or health in general as a garden and complex ecosystem of relationships to be tended to holistically. If you change one thing, what other things are you also affecting?

                    Donux Yet, I do not want to label myself as sick yet

                    Same here. I'm glad you have this positive attitude! The role of stress and emotions is not to be discounted. Psychological element very likely some large X percentage factor. Also reading an actual printed book gets me away from looking at screens for everything as well as satisfying my curiosity.

                    Donux Perhaps my posture is not right

                    MIT made a monitor system that moves to research posture changes and health. How many people here use standing desks like the ones that can shift from sitting to standing mode automatically?

                    100% agree

                              I eat meat every day. Usually red meat, rarely chicken and on occasion fish.

                              sorry if OOT i get headache and migraine while use smartphone coincidencly when start eating oatmeal 2 times a day for my diet program,is there any connection ?i google alergies oat make headache or more light sensitive or maybe oat have gluten

                                async yes from today i will stop eat oatmeal and back to eat rice although recently i have pre diabet,do you have any experience with oatmeal with headache migraine while use phone ?or some one else ? but my headache and migraine only appear if i use phone that one year before i can use without headache but after upgrade android 14 headache migraine appear,i already downgrade it to android 13 but still make me headache and i have bought the new one with excatly same type and same android 13 original still make me headache migraine too but i have another one old phone that still i can use without headache,so confuse

                                i have read reddit link,op says its just make depresion and dhysporia not headache or migraine ?

                                    hansennnnn

                                    My screen symptoms can get a lot worse with food, though for me the triggers are primarily cooking oil and some spices.

                                      hansennnnn I got a ton of weird food stuff and allergies, so I don't really touch that at all. However the description there are rather similar to what happens when I consume milk, so I guess bioactive componds could be at play.

                                      Also there is everything related to migraines affecting vasodilation. Nitrities in particular. They no doubt cause visual symptoms in me.

                                      Tbh I mostly eat meat and spring water with some carbo sources. There are too many rabbitholes to go thru if you want to figure out how all diffuse symptoms and problems fit together. Better to just not stress about everything, and cycle things in and out of the diet if it seems like it might be a problem.

                                        wlmsn yeah but I've also been anemic since my early 20s and take cow liver iron pills. It's the only kind that helped me. My iron levels are totally normal now and have been for something like 15 years now because of that. At least, for me, I don't think iron deficiency is a link.

                                            Gwanatu that's interesting that you were anemic at one point, but you're probably right. Glad everything is going better for you there.

                                            Thanks for all the work you do at AC by the way!

                                              so in my case oat can make someone more light sensitive in this case phone screen,because there is my old phone that i can use without headache and migraine maybe this old phone my body can tolerate it right now but strangely i have another tablet that i never use suddenly i use become headache and this tablet never got upgrade,how long stop eating oat can make my body normal again ?

                                              However, some studies have shown that oat products can inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron. This is because oats contain phytate, an antinutrient that binds to minerals like iron and zinc, making it harder for the body to absorb them. The heat treatment used to prevent rancidity in stored oats can also inactivate the endogenous phytase in oats, which can further reduce iron absorption.
