Me: Since I was young and still today ( 25 yrs old and male ) I remember my knees always pop when I squat down. During my first walk to the rest room in the morning my knees will pop quite loudly just by walking, but wont the rest of the day ( except when I have to squat down ). Also sometimes when I squat down and my knees dont pop, it will hurt a little until I can get them to pop. My wrists always crack/pop when I move my hand in a circular motion, or flex from one way to the other. I was wondering if these popping joints indicate something is wrong? If you have any thoughts I would appreciate it! Thank you!
Ray Peat: Sometimes slightly low thyroid function can cause the cartilage in joints to swell, and sometimes to accumulate fluid. Slight nutritional deficiencies can contribute to it. Having some seafood once a week often helps, and having enough protein (80 to 100 grams) and calcium (about 1500 mg) is important.
i think that already started when I was around 13 years old (1998). It's not a bone issue, but a tendon issue.
I also have bad back and neck tensions since 16 y.o.
What could be the reason for that?
Trace minerals that might be lacking in land based foods.... oh and... DHA!!!!Why sea food?

Lmao I was gonna ask about the dha component but it's quite the hot button topic lol one member wanted to chew me up because I posed the possibility it's essential in small amounts lol.
Lol who knows, but good luck to anyone avoiding it or its precursor while consuming a nutritious diet. Many fruits, have a "good" ratio of n-3 to n-6, oranges are one example, so we cant avoid it even eating just land foods.Lmao I was gonna ask about the dha component but it's quite the hot button topic lol one member wanted to chew me up because I posed the possibility it's essential in small amounts lol.
lol what point are you are you giving me?

Bro, hook me up with the studies showing mammals can manufacture DHA from sugars/protein please! Oh nevermind, you are saying from its plant precursor 18:3. OopsLike i mentioned in the previous post. Its impossible to avoid it. Ray peat isnt about avoiding it. Its about to minimizing it.

What am I wrong about? I thought you were arguing we can make DHA from scratch, like from sugars/proteins, read my previous posts, its evident I know we can convert n-3 18:3 into n-3 22:6BRO!
Lol im not ur bro dudezilla broski but sure bro
Is docosahexaenoic acid synthesis from α-linolenic acid sufficient to supply the adult brain? - ScienceDirect
Whole body synthesis rates of DHA from α-linolenic acid are greater than brain DHA accretion and uptake rates in adult rats
DHA Throughtout Life - Venketesh Biosciences
It converts ALA to both DHA and EPA
So bro your wrong. The contreversy in science today is if the body can synthesize enough or if its even necessary
What am I wrong about?
Lol no, my original post to jon is unedited and proves what Im saying.Nice post edit when u googled and realized you didnt know
