Feels good man
... Until it's too lateHaven't checked it, but I got a pretty low resting pulse like 60-65 bpm
I probably drink a pot in a day
If you don't exercise, that suggests slower thyroid function. What about body temperature?
Cortisol is a stress hormone with anti-inflammatory capabilities in emergency situations. Not unlike how nitric oxide has vasodilating properties in emergency situations.
I haven't checked my body temperature unfortunately. I do exercise quite a bit but it was a long time since I did some serious cardiovascular work. I was into sports in my teens and remember I had a resting pulse in the low 50s back then.
That's interesting, I guess a lot of peoples lives are chronic emergencies
As inflammation is lowered during the fasted state, maybe they have excess. Also, cortisol lowers TSH (and therefore, prolactin). The fasted state is also associated with HGH, a mood booster.
Most people are, especially here in the North America and West Europe. Technically speaking I think the Asians were the last healthy population (nutritionally speaking) but several years back seed oils and PUFA intake started replacing things like beef tallow in their diets.
Makes sense, my body composition improved a whole lot during IF. But I've realised that a muscle toned body =/= health.
Not to rely solely on anecdotes but I live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood in NYC and I can’t help but notice how large and well developed their heads are. They have very dimensional and defined bone structure and are usually quite thin. I don’t think they engage in extreme exercise or that is it really a part of their culture.
Were you also exercising? I've heard about the composition changes. On the other hand, I've naturally intermittent fasted for most of my life and didn't see any changes.
Yeah I don't believe your average Asian is as metabolically damaged as Americans and Europeans. We started consuming elevated amounts of PUFA in the early 1900s, and since PUFA affects our offspring worse than us, there's a reason why younger generations of Americans and Europeans are increasingly becoming more and more unhealthy. Asia was the last continent to adopt seed oils and PUFA. Their 1st generation PUFA eaters are still alive, some of them. Our 1st generation PUFA eaters were back in 1900-1920 and they're all dead now, most of them anyways. They also typically walk everywhere they go too, so even though they don't really exercise you can't really say they're metabolically inactive either. NYC asians are probably the same, most NYC people walk a lot simply because it's easier travel than getting into traffic.
Yes, I was maybe going to the gym 2-3 times a week. But I had some muscle mass underneath already so just the drop in body fat from IF made a lot of change.
