Dental/gum care routine (update)

Brush with Sonicare toothbrush 2x a day

Use a toothpaste with fluoride and xylitol (Hello toothpaste is my favorite, I've been using it for months and barely have any tartar buildup, my teeth are white and gums are pink).

Use woven floss 2x a day (Boka is my favorite, I also like Risewell and Cocofloss).

Tongue scrape at night (1x a day is fine because overdoing it can reduce the number of NO-producing bacteria).

Take an oral probiotic at night (they help increase the microbiome diversity though they can be expensive and not a replacement for brushing and flossing and diet, but they're a great alternative to mouthwash).

Supplement with D3/K2 and magnesium. Vitamin C, CoQ10 and omega-3 are great for gums.

Drink a lot of water daily (2-3 L).

Nasal breathe

Drink matcha instead of coffee/acidic and dehydrating drinks. Coffee won't do much harm besides staining and I usually just drink 1 cup, but I prefer a matcha latte because it is refreshing, hydrating, creamy and soothing).

Limit sugar and follow an anti-inflammatory low glycemic diet. Sweet foods like low glycemic fruit and dark chocolate are fine and have health benefits (low in sugar, high in vitamin C and magnesium). Treats here and there are fine, no more than 3x a week.

Eat foods that support oral health - veggies, cheese, chicken, fish, eggs, avocados, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. There are dentists out there who complain about phytic acid, but a lot of foods that contain it are very nutrient-dense.

Do an oral microbiome test (I do these out of curiosity for fun). This is one reason why I avoid mouthwash. Even if I don't regularly test, proper hygiene and diet, xylitol, avoiding mouthwash and tongue scraping 1x a day, and an oral probiotic here and there can help a lot.

wait, are the health claims from bone broth bogus? (genuine/good faith question). i’ve always heard that it’s high in collagen, which supposedly is good for you and better if you get it ‘naturally’ like from bone broth. is that another thing that’s not actually true, or wildly exaggerated?

Bone broth has been eaten for centuries in various cultures because it is easy to digest and believed to have healing properties. Chicken broth is highly valued by some as a remedy for the flu. In more recent years it has been promoted to help symptoms from psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity. [7] Claims that it detoxifies the liver, improves digestion, reverses wrinkles, builds bones, and relieves join pain have led some marketing analysts to predict that the bone broth market will approach $3 billion by 2024. [8] In reality, bone broth contains only small amounts of minerals naturally found in bone including calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, and copper. The amount of protein, obtained from the gelatin, varies from 5-10 grams per cup. There is some concern that bone broth contains toxic metals like lead. One small study found that bone broth made from chicken bones contained three times the lead as chicken broth made with the meat only. [7] However the amount of lead in the bone broth per serving was still less than half the amount permitted by the Environmental Protection Agency in drinking water. A different study found that bone broth, both homemade and commercially produced, contained low levels (<5% RDA) of calcium and magnesium as well as heavy metals like lead and cadmium. [9] The study noted that various factors can affect the amount of protein and minerals extracted in bone broth: the amount of acidity, cooking time, cooking temperature, and type of animal bone used. Therefore it is likely that the nutritional value of bone broths will vary widely.

Your body makes collagen; eating collagen will put the things that make collagen into your body to make collagen with, but so will eating things that go into making collagen (amino acids, basically).

There's not good evidence that eating a ton of collagen or supplementing collagen improves your body's collagen production, and studies on collagen supplementation tend to be done by companies that make collagen supplements or produce expensive bone broth.

Basically if you're eating the 9 essential amino acids by consuming complete proteins (which can be done on any kind of diet, vegan or vegetarian or including meat - this is NOT one of those things your body relies on animal products to produce) your body is going to make collagen and it's going to have the amino acids handy to make collagen; consuming more collagen may mean that your body has more of those collagen-forming amino acids on hand, but it doesn't mean that your body is going to be any more efficient at producing collagen (and your body is going to become less efficient at producing collagen as you age).

But yeah bone broth health claims are primarily bogus. If you want more collagen in your diet for whatever reason, it's probably about as effective to eat jello as it is to eat bone broth but also more collagen in your diet likely isn't doing anything special.

Aggression/ Danger to humans: Low - Very Low

Element/ Ailment: Fire  

The Northern Spotted Fire-Snout or Wazïgh Cj’erä (Wazyg Cherraugh) meaning “Fire Snout” in Dhënuvgöm is a small herbivorous 25–30-pound ungulate-like multituberculate living in the Temperate Rainforests and Taiga on the Northeastern Continent of Atterra.  Ten distinct varieties/species of the Fire-Snout have been discovered living in a variety of habitats from forests to swamps, wetlands, savannah, taiga, and montane habitats on the Northeastern Continent, Mid-eastern, and Eastern continents that are all connected via land bridges and mountain ranges.

The secret to this group’s success being a wide variety of diets depending on the species and a generalist behavior when it comes to foraging for food in the undergrowth, with a clear penchant to hard shelled fruits/ melons, wild fields of domesticated grain, and nuts. The Northern Spotted Fire-Snout is no different, often being spotted in groups around large nut trees, and grain fields, or scurrying mostly solitarily under the forest undergrowth. The fire snout supplements its vegetarian diet with insects that it manages to scurry up and devour, with some species in less lush environments having a mainly insectivore feeding focus, which is helped by the fact that all Fire-Snout species have teeth reinforced by crimson tooth enamel that is 3 percent iron. Allowing the animal added protection against hard nuts and abrasion while it cracks open nuts and insect shells while foraging.

Being a species that is near the bottom of the Atterran food chain, the Northern Spotted Fire-Snout has many predators that would happily make it into a meal, an issue that the Fire-Snout has found a bombastic solution to.  On it’s flank the Fire-Snout has two large fast-healing sacks filled with an inert phosphorus solution that should be punctured by a predator, will leak a strong smelling and foul-tasting fluid into the predator’s mouth. However, the phosphorus fluid truly shines when combined with a fluid secreted by a second set of glands located in the sinuses of the Fire-Snout that acts as an ignition fluid to turn the phosphorous fluid the animal produces into a highly flammable solution that ignites when it mixes with oxygen in the atmosphere.

When threatened, a Fire-Snout will make a display of flexing the fluid sacks on its flanks and stamping its front hooves before the sacks contract. At this point the phosphorus liquid will build pressure at the base of the long false snout of the animal causing it to visibly bulge as the ignition fluid is added; before being forcibly ejected from the darkly colored false nose at the end of the organism’s “snout” once it’s primary sinus passages seal to prevent excess oxygen mixing with the flammable liquid. The fiery ejection of this fluid can reach up to ten feet and is quick burning, making it able to singe fur and sear flesh without causing major damage to its surroundings, and once the solution has been ejected, the Fire-Snout will sneeze to fully clear it’s secondary sinus passage before resuming normal breathing.

It was once debated the purpose of the Fire-Snout possessing four nostrils when it was discovered that the pair of nostrils located at the base of its snout were the ones it used for breathing and the second “nose” and the end of its snout was a false snout/ nose made of flesh and cartilage for the sole purpose of spewing the flammable liquid for defense. Oddly enough, the sinuses of the two “noses” are connected and can be opened/closed as needed, allowing the animal to deploy its defense without blowing itself up. Additionally, the phosphorous solution it produces in its base form can be used as a natural fire retardant since it is inert and sticky without the ignition fluid. Fire-Snouts have been observed “dousing” smoldering spots/ budding fires that have been caused by the animal defending itself to smother and put out the fires before they become a major issue.

When it comes to reproduction, the brightly colored neck flap that the male Northern Fire-Snout is used in conjunction with dancing to impress females to be able to mate. Once impregnated a female will remain pregnant with one or two pups for up to nine months before giving birth and immediately being able to become pregnant again. This allows the young to be extremely developed when they are born and can run mere moments after they are born even if their phosphorus sacs are underdeveloped at this point, only able to produce a puff of flame until they’ve reached eight months of age. Female Fire-Snouts in the wild have been seen constantly raising young and being pregnant for their entire sexually mature lives to combat population decrease by excessive predation.

Domestication of the Northern Fire-Snout and several other populations of Fire-Snouts has been successful and has led to domestic fire snouts having larger phosphorous sacks and increased ignition fluid production to help them serve the purpose as living flint. Domesticated Fire-Snouts are often owned by restaurants, guild huntsman parties, and religious temples as a means of a natural way to start fires. This trend is prevalent in family restaurants in the SRA (Sovereign Republic of Alder’mane) owned by Ashian immigrants to have a spectacle as they ignite their Hearthstone Ovens and give a “special sear” on food on certain menu items or when requested by the customer. Which has the inadvertent affect of improving opinions of Northern Spotted Fire-Snouts inside the walled states where they are present in the SRA.

In the walled State of Malgori in particular, Native populations of Northern spotted fire snouts like the Vulpes, were nearly hunted to near extinction due to the danger of their fire (though the Vulpes was hunted for its luscious pink colored fur). This hunting by humans created an extreme pressure for Fire-Snouts born without functional ignition fluid glands, leading to the creation of a subpopulation and budding subspecies that only spews out the phosphorus fluid in defense. As consequence of this, the growing population of fireless Northern Spotted Fire-Snouts to be viewed with the same fear as skunks on earth as they have developed an ability to spray their phosphorus liquid up to twenty feet and have an uncanny ability to aim for the eyes and face of their aggressor. Making it so that instead of killing the Fire-Snout, citizens of Malgori and other walled states where these mutations are present would rather avoid the animal instead of aggravating it and getting a face full of sticky and smelly liquid.

Rollo gets itchy horns btw

There are a few reasons for ichy horns on goats.

Improper Nutrition: Goats on the wrong diet or with an overabundance of calcium may have brittle horns that chip or peel. To ensure proper mineral intake they need things like iron, phosphorus, calcium, copper, manganese, and magnesium. His thing about eating a croissant, a few grapes, and... I can't remember the third thing for lunch every day isn't going to be enough for the guy.

Mineral Deficiency: Providing a mineral lick can supplement their intake and prevent severe bone growth issues that might affect horn health. Tbh it prob really common for beasts in the AU to have those and some would think it's odd humans don't need them.

Growing Pains: Young goats’ horns are still developing, and some damage is expected during this process. As horns grow outward, the ends may crack or chip.

You might even catch him rubbing his horns against something, it's pretty common for goats to try rubbing their horns against their owners but I do wonder if Rollo could be that...bold. I don't think he would turn down scritches or rubs from you though.

Observations after sleeping:

Before everything hurt only when I tried to move and my muscles were too weak to move and I constantly was nearly dropping everything

Now it hurts less, but whether I move or not, and the muscle weakness is gone

I suspect this is because my nerves can signal properly again, and because I am currently dehydrated, because my cells are newly able to take in water properly.

Before, even though I was drinking lots of water, it did not feel like it was really getting into anything. Which is I think what irritated my fascia at one point, making them a target for my immune system, not being able to properly take in water and so effectively being dehydrated [which makes fascia sticky and sore] regardless of what I was actually drinking.

So I am not having any ibuprofen yet today. I am going to drink fluids and see what that helps first.

But the muscle weakness is gone and I am not struggling to move.

So how did someone who controls their iodine intake regularly like they are trying to nerf a perpetual potential thyroid storm manage to fuck up so badly?

Because of winter, and because iodine isn't fat soluble.

See, normally the bulk of any dairy I eat is butter and heavy whipping cream, which, due to being more milk fat by percentage are actually low in iodine for a dairy product. I avoid milk for multiple reasons, but in general the watery parts of milk that contain lactose, iodine and the bulk of the calcium and phosphorus are the parts i avoid, and then I still get a moderated amount of that, but mostly milk fat to keep my liver happy and for the calories...

And normally I avoid most other food sources of iodine, which isn't too hard, until my iodine gets so low I develop goiter, and then I'll have a little nibble of seaweed or something and be fine again for a long time.

But then I decided to try evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk over this winter. And I switched to eating canned ham and canned tuna rather than more expensive and fattier meats...

And I thought I was in the clear because I didn't react to the added lactose. The added iodine didn't even occur to me.

Then the multi vitamin also contained iodine. Way more than I thought they'd put in a daily supplement.

And then some doctor and lab visits stressed me out and physically caused some damage and exposed me to enough virus that my immune system was set off again.

And then when I got a bit of swelling in my thyroid gland, I figured it was goiter from low iodine and had a couple nibbles of seaweed paper.

... And then I was so exhausted and stressed out I didn't notice the symptoms of thyroid storm because I had no fucking energy still, and I was getting other weird symptoms like gout that could be from my kidneys, which I just pissed off with the ultrasound prep.

Potassium is in everything. Becoming deficient is usually really hard unless one of 2 things:

-You are on a heavily restricted diet due to kidney problems or mcs or something

-Your metabolic rate is off and causing you to burn through electrolytes way fucking fast

And in all my time of doctors telling me to salt load my diet -for low blood pressure, pots symptoms and high heart rate- and not bothering to mention not to use iodized salt to do it [something I figured out myself pretty fast] not once did any of them mention potassium, or how it was also an essential electrolyte I would need extra of, despite that I have food restrictions due to sensitivities and allergies and needing to avoid iodine, and also have a problem with stupidly high thyroid hormone levels. I have every circumstance that could lead to a potassium deficiency acting on me, and the symptoms of one on a regular basis and not one fucking doctor MENTIONED it.

No one has been monitoring my levels of fuck all btw, not even my thyroid, not even after seeing the first thyroid storm the caught on paper and confirming it was not dying like they thought.

So there I am, diet restricted as hell to try to unburden my kidneys which are suddenly already dealing with a bunch of extra calcium and phosphorus, unbeknownst to me, drinking tons of water to try to flush out the gout and other kidney symptoms and not knowing I am mid thyroid storm.

And I figured it out fast when my sodium got dangerously low.

But no one had ever mentioned potassium to me.

And then everything kept harping on how potassium was so so so so so bad for your kidneys...

...

And then I just kept getting worse.

Except when I'd randomly get a bit better with changes to my diet, because have I mentioned, potassium is actually tricky to avoid?

But the autoimmune high thyroid thing actually explains how the symptoms were bouncing around between muscles, joints, fascia, and bones, and then my immune system seeming to attack things at random. The high thyroid levels signalling my body to break down and rebuild bone, and then causing the potassium deficiency and kidney stress that caused everything else... All while my immune system was already set off.

Even my skin problems... When your skin cells can't take in fluids properly, they get dry. Also high phosphorus can cause similar dry skin and hair growth problems.

So trying to figure out *which* problem it was, was fucking useless, because it was genuinely ALL of the problems all at once.

And I can't even be mad at me because no doctor I have ever had would have caught this either. No doctor did catch the problem any other time I went in for weird attacks and symptom sets like this. They always just try to force me into mental health counseling and deny even the symptoms they have proof of on paper, and conveniently leave out checking the thing that would prove me right, like checking one of my blood mineral levels or making me wait 3 months to check my thyroid levels, etc...

I'm not even on treatment for my thyroid despite that I by all accounts should be? It's a pill! A standard pill to control thyroid hormone that you give to people all the time! There's no abuse potential! It's not even like replacement thyroid hormone that some people abuse for weight loss reasons! It neutralizes those hormones! WHY!

So now I get to see if I can get the symptoms under control myself, or if I will be forced to go to a clinic and try to catch a doctor up on all of this fast enough for them to actually help me.

I lacked the mineral this whole time, and yet I persisted...

And yes, also your fav with the comic book level high metabolism should in fact need salt and potassium out their eyeballs, for the record. If you think I am annoyed watching them not eat, when I have 10k calorie days... Barry, Kevin, Logan, what the fuck are you guys doing? It's like they want to die.

Are Pumpkin Seeds Good For Men With Erectile Dysfunction?

Pumpkin seeds might be tiny but, they have gained attention for their role in enhancing the sexual health of men by improving conditions like erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a condition characterized by the inability to get and maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. While there are many treatment options available to cure ED, natural remedies like pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are gaining popularity. Many men refer to pumpkin seeds as "nature’s Viagra" due to their potential benefits for men’s sexual health.

Potential Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds for ED:

Boost blood circulation: Magnesium and zinc are essential for a healthy blood circulation, an essential factor in achieving and maintaining erections. Poor blood circulation is one of the leading reasons for ED.  Also, the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids present in pumpkin seeds help improve blood flow, which is crucial for getting and maintaining an erection.

Promote healthy testosterone levels: Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc and zinc plays a crucial role in testosterone production. Lower level testosterone levels increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. Consuming pumpkin seeds daily can maintain healthy hormone levels that support libido and erectile function.

Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory Properties: Stress is another major reason for ED. Pumpkin seeds are packed with antioxidants like vitamin E and carotenoids, which help reduce oxidative stress. The antioxidant properties reduce inflammation from the body. Studies show that antioxidant supplementation can be beneficial for many men suffering from ED. The anti- inflammatory properties in pumpkin seeds support overall wellness and reproductive function.

These nutrient-packed pepitas are easy to incorporate into your daily diet. Here are some simple and tasty ways to include pumpkin seeds:

Smoothies: You can blend pepitas into your smoothies. They add creaminess and nutrition without altering the flavor.

Salads: If you like to indulge in salads, toss a handful of pumpkin seeds into them for added nutrients. They pair well with dressings and leafy greens.

Roasted seeds: Roast pumpkin seeds and sprinkle with salt or your favorite spices. This adds flavor, making them great for topping dishes or snacking.

Pumpkin seed oil: You can also drizzle pumpkin seed oil on your vegetables or salads. It offers the same health benefits as the seeds.

Granola: Add pumpkin seeds to granola. This creates a delicious, healthy snack mix for any time of day.

Oatmeal or Yogurt: Mix them into your morning bowl for added nutrients and texture.

Baking: Incorporate pumpkin seeds into muffins, bread, or granola bars for a nutritious twist.

Pumpkin seeds  are packed with essential nutrients. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a 28-gram serving of pumpkin seeds provides:

Calcium: 15 mg

Energy: 163 Kcal

Manganese: 1.3 mg

Zinc: 2.2 mg

Copper: 0.4 mg

Carbohydrates: 4.2 g

Fat: 13.9

Protein: 8.5 g

Selenium: 2.7 mcg

Phosphorus: 332 mg

Iron: 2.3 mg

Pumpkin seeds are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that benefit overall sexual well-being. However, it’s crucial to remember that addressing erectile dysfunction requires a broad approach. While natural remedies like pumpkin seeds can be beneficial, they work best with other treatments. Medications may be necessary for faster or more effective recovery.

Puppy Nutrition 101: The Best Diet for a Healthy, Happy Pup

Bringing home a puppy means lots of cuddles, playtime, and of course, ensuring they get the best nutrition for a strong start in life. A well-balanced diet is essential for healthy growth, strong bones, a shiny coat, and a happy, energetic pup. But with so many food options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about feeding your puppy the right way!

1. Understand Your Puppy’s Nutritional Needs

Puppies grow rapidly and need a diet rich in essential nutrients to support their development. Their food should include:

✅ High-quality protein – Builds muscles and supports overall growth (chicken, turkey, beef, fish). ✅ Healthy fats – Provide energy and promote a shiny coat (salmon oil, chicken fat). ✅ Carbohydrates – Supply energy but should come from wholesome sources (sweet potatoes, brown rice). ✅ Vitamins & minerals – Strengthen the immune system and bone health (calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, and E). ✅ Water – Always provide fresh, clean water for hydration.

2. Choose the Right Puppy Food

Puppies need food specifically formulated for their growth. Look for labels that say "complete and balanced for puppies" from reputable pet food brands.

🥘 Types of Puppy Food:

🔹 Dry Kibble – Affordable, promotes dental health, easy to store. 🔹 Wet Canned Food – More flavorful, high in moisture but can be expensive. 🔹 Raw or Fresh Food – Natural ingredients but requires careful preparation. 🔹 Homemade Diets – Can be healthy but should be vet-approved to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

For small breed puppies, choose food with smaller kibble sizes. Large breeds need food formulated to support joint and bone health.

3. Follow a Proper Feeding Schedule

Unlike adult dogs, puppies need multiple small meals a day to maintain steady energy levels.

📅 Puppy Feeding Schedule by Age:

6–12 weeks old → 4 meals per day

3–6 months old → 3 meals per day

6–12 months old → 2 meals per day

Once your puppy reaches 1 year old, they can transition to an adult dog feeding schedule (usually 1-2 meals per day).

4. Avoid Harmful Foods

Not all human foods are safe for puppies! Some can be toxic and even life-threatening.

🚫 Foods to NEVER Feed Your Puppy: ❌ Chocolate (contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs) ❌ Grapes & raisins (can cause kidney failure) ❌ Onions & garlic (damage red blood cells) ❌ Avocado (contains persin, which is harmful to dogs) ❌ Xylitol (a sweetener found in gum and candy, extremely toxic) ❌ Cooked bones (can splinter and cause choking or internal damage)

Always check with your vet before introducing new foods.

5. Transitioning to a New Diet

If you need to switch your puppy’s food, do it gradually over 7–10 days to avoid stomach upset.

📌 Food Transition Plan:

Days 1-3 → 75% old food + 25% new food

Days 4-6 → 50% old food + 50% new food

Days 7-9 → 25% old food + 75% new food

Day 10+ → 100% new food

Watch for signs of digestive upset, like diarrhea or vomiting, and adjust the transition pace if needed.

6. Monitor Portion Sizes and Weight

Overfeeding can lead to obesity, while underfeeding can stunt growth. Check your puppy’s body condition regularly:

🐾 A healthy puppy should have: ✔ A visible waist when viewed from above. ✔ Ribs that can be felt but not seen. ✔ No excessive belly fat.

Refer to the feeding guidelines on your puppy food packaging, but adjust based on their growth, energy levels, and vet recommendations.

7. Supplements: Are They Necessary?

Most high-quality puppy foods already contain essential nutrients, so additional supplements may not be needed. However, in some cases, your vet may recommend:

🔹 Omega-3 fatty acids (for brain development and a healthy coat) 🔹 Glucosamine & chondroitin (for large breeds prone to joint issues) 🔹 Probiotics (for digestive health)

Never give human vitamins or supplements to puppies without consulting a vet.

8. When to Switch to Adult Dog Food

Puppies need puppy-formulated food until they reach adulthood, which depends on their breed size:

🐶 Small breeds → Switch at 9–12 months 🐶 Medium breeds → Switch at 12 months 🐶 Large breeds → Switch at 12–18 months

Gradually transition them to adult dog food using the same 7–10 day transition method.

9. Keep Treats in Moderation

While treats are great for training, they shouldn’t exceed 10% of your puppy’s daily calorie intake.

✅ Healthy Puppy Treats: ✔ Small pieces of boiled chicken or turkey ✔ Baby carrots ✔ Blueberries ✔ Plain, unsweetened yogurt

Avoid overfeeding treats, as it can lead to weight gain and picky eating habits.

10. Consult Your Vet for Personalized Advice

Every puppy is different! Your vet can provide the best guidance on choosing the right diet, portion sizes, and supplements for your puppy’s unique needs.

Regular vet check-ups will ensure your puppy stays healthy, happy, and thriving!

Final Thoughts

Feeding your puppy a nutrient-rich, balanced diet sets the foundation for a long, healthy life. By choosing high-quality food, following a feeding schedule, avoiding harmful foods, and monitoring their weight, you’ll give your furry friend the best start possible.

Speaking of special diets (because my stupid elimination diet is constantly on my mind for obvious reasons)

What if some of the powered teens in the Pollution Powers AU need special diets, or can eat things they wouldn't normally be able to?

I'm thinking maybe Fiddleford has to take nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (the classic three elements of fertilizer) supplements, as his power drains those from his body.

Maybe Ford gets a taste for spicy food because he can explode things. It feels like that just fits. Meanwhile, Stan loses any ability to withstand spice because he's oil and could catch fire, so his body kicks in to protect him from something that simulates fire. Angie becomes especially fond of vegetables and fruits, perhaps even becoming a vegetarian, because her power originates from an herbicide, aka a plant killer.

And Jimmy Snakes, who gets a power from exposure to battery acid...just straight up eats batteries. He doesn't need to. But he can. So he will. It's a power move.

The Secrets of Heavy Cream: The Magic Ingredient

Have you ever pondered the secret behind the silky, rich texture of your favorite creamy soup or foamy coffee? Heavy cream, a simple food, holds the key. A dairy product with high-fat content is heavy cream, commonly referred to as heavy whipped cream. Due to its lightness, the thick, high-fat portion of milk floats to the top.

The Making of Heavy Cream

Heavy cream is the most costly cream out there in the market. Also known as whipped cream, this heavy cream is used in a lot of home and commercial products including cakes, bakery items, etc. Our agricultural forefathers originally tamed animals for milk, and it was them who also discovered cream. They saw a thick layer forming at the top when they kept the fresh milk. The basis for many of our favorite foods, cream, was created at this time. This cream was subsequently developed into several forms throughout time as kitchen skills advanced, one of which was heavy cream. Its high-fat content, which is normally between 36% and 40%, is referred to as being "heavy."

Detailed Nutritional Analysis of Heavy Cream

Macronutrients A tablespoon of heavy cream has about 51 calories, with 5.5g of fat making up the majority of those calories. Additionally, it has 0.4g of carbs and 0.3g of protein. Macronutrients play a vital role in the functioning of our body. Minerals and vitamins Additionally loaded with essential vitamins and minerals including Vitamin A, calcium, and phosphorus, heavy cream is a crucial component of our meals. Vitamins and minerals keep you nutritious and healthy. Uses for Heavy Cream in Food Baking Nowadays people are inclined towards bakery items that they use in their lunch, supper, and sometimes for dinner as well. The key to flaky pastries in baking is heavy cream. Additionally, it is whipped to make fluffy whipped cream, a popular dessert topping used all over the world. People also like: Hiya Vitamins: Revolutionizing Children’s Nutrition And Supplements Sauces and Soups It is used to add richness to soups and sauces in savory recipes, turning everyday foods into delectable creations. Beverages And don't forget the drinks! Without foamy, whipped heavy cream, your favorite coffee or hot chocolate wouldn't taste the same. One of the biggest examples is cappuccino, espresso, etc.

Making Your Homemade Heavy Cream

Ingredients Milk and butter are the key ingredients that you need to make a delicious heavy cream. Step-by-Step Direction You may make your homemade heavy cream by combining milk and melted butter. Keep in mind that your cream will be richer the greater the milk's fat content.

Heavy Cream Alternatives

Butter and Milk If heavy cream isn't available, milk and butter can be used as a stand-in. Although the consistency won't be the same, the flavor will be comparable. Coconut Milk Coconut cream is a fantastic substitute for individuals who are vegan or have a dairy allergy that offers your meals a distinctive flavor.

The Effects of Heavy Cream on Health

Positive Features When used in moderation, heavy cream is abundant in vitamins and minerals and may be a component of a balanced diet. Negative Features It should be taken in moderation, especially by people with specific medical problems like diabetes or heart disease, due to its high fat and calorie content.

Why is heavy cream so beneficial?

In the realm of food, heavy cream is praised for a variety of reasons, including: Rich Flavor and Texture: Heavy cream is renowned for its flavor-enhancing properties as well as its rich, creamy texture. Few ingredients can equal the richness of flavor it gives. Versatility: Another thing that makes it so amazing is its versatility in the kitchen. A wide range of meals, from sweet to savory, can employ it. Heavy cream always seems to take a meal to the next level, whether it is whipped into cream for desserts, used to thicken soups and sauces, or added to coffees and lattes. Dense in nutrients: Despite having a high-fat level, heavy cream is nutrient-rich. It contains a healthy quantity of vitamin A and is a rich source of calcium and phosphorus, among other vitamins and minerals. It also has a good healthy fat ratio that is good for your health. Heavy cream is perfect for dishes that call for boiling at high temperatures because of its high-fat content, which avoids curdling. So, Heavy cream can boost feelings of fullness due to its high fat and calorie content, which may aid with weight management when used properly. Heavy cream provides many advantages, but it's vital to keep in mind that it also contains a lot of calories and saturated fat. It should be consumed as part of a balanced diet, just like all other foods.

Conclusion

Heavy cream is a treat in any home. Because of its flavor and creamy texture, it is a common ingredient in kitchens all around the world. However, attentive eating is advised because of its high calorie and fat content. Kids love heavy cream as they can eat pastries, and bread with extra heavy cream toppings. FAQs What distinguishes heavy cream from whipped cream? Whipping cream and heavy cream are comparable, however heavy cream is thicker because of its increased fat content. Is it possible to use milk for heavy cream in recipes? While milk cannot match the richness of heavy cream, it may be substituted in many recipes with a milk and butter mixture. Is heavy cream unhealthy for you? When used in moderation, heavy cream, like any other food, maybe a component of a healthy diet. It should only be consumed in moderation because of its high fat and calorie content, especially for people with specific medical problems. Is there a heavy cream substitute that doesn't include dairy? Coconut cream is a well-liked dairy-free substitute for heavy cream. Still not delicious like heavy cream but still they can work if it isn’t available. Am I able to create heavy cream at home? Yes, you can make heavy cream at home by combining butter and milk. With some help of frothing machines, it will be easier to make. Read the full article

Provisional Diagnosis: vitamin D deficiency

Clinical Notes: Vitamin D deficiency is the most common deficiency in developed nations. Unlike other vitamins which must be consumed, the body can make its own vitamin D. The reaction requires UVB light for one of the steps, so sun exposure is a part of the process. Vitamin D deficiency occurs when someone both does not get vitamin D from food (mushrooms, fortified cereals, etc.) and does not get much sun exposure. Vitamin D is needed for absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gut into the body, so a deficiency can lead to a variety of bone problems such as osteoporosis, osteopenia (osteoporosis but less severe), osteomalacia (soft, unmineralised bone), Ricketts, etc. It is also worth noting the possibility that when the patient says "vitamin D" they may not mean calciferol, but instead this may be a euphemism for penis (vitamin Dick). Ask follow up questions, as this will change management.

Differential Diagnoses: Vitamin B1 deficiency (patient notes alcohol use. Overuse of alcohol can lead to B1 deficiency), zinc deficiency (zinc comes from foods such as beans and nuts. And in males, is used in the sperm making process. Someone said to me "a handful of nuts has as much zinc as a handful of nut" and that lives rent free in my head. I don't think anyone has ever jacked themselves off into a zinc deficiency but we can check in the blood sample to be safe)

Recommendations: Obtain blood sample and test for vitamins, calcium, and phosphate levels. Vitamin D deficiency leads to calcium deficiency and this should be monitored. If osteoporosis/osteopenia is suspected, consider a DEXA bone scan. A diet deficient in one vitamin may be deficient in others. Obtain a dietary history: how often and easily does the patient consume various vitamins and minerals? Socioeconomic factors may limit access to healthy foods. Consult a dietician to consider foods that are nutritious, delicious, and affordable given patient's current circumstances. Obtain social history: use of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances can affect/cause deficiencies. Occupation can affect food habits and sun exposure. Consider vitamin supplementation if dietary vitamin D and/or touching grass is not realistic. Advise patient that vitamin D is fat soluble, meaning it cannot be absorbed unless they consume something fatty with it (this is why oil-based salad dressings are awesome). Ask about their use of the term vitamin D, and if it indeed is a euphemism, refer patient to hottest, horniest colleague.

don’t worry I didn’t listen to either of them

Is Goat Milk for Dogs a Good Source of Essential Nutrients?

Every dog owner wants to give their pet the best—whether it's the best dog food, regular exercise, or a cozy place to rest. But when it comes to dog nutrition, one superfood is often overlooked: goat milk.

Used for centuries in natural diets, goat milk is more than just a tasty addition to your dog’s bowl. It's a powerhouse of essential nutrients that support digestion, immune function, joint health, and more. But how good is goat milk really? And should it be a regular part of your dog’s diet?

Let’s explore the science behind goat milk for dogs and why it’s earning its place in modern feeding routines.

What Is Goat Milk and How Does It Differ?

Goat milk is the liquid milk produced by female goats and is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and healthy fats. Unlike cow’s milk, goat milk has smaller fat globules and less lactose, making it gentler on the digestive system—especially for dogs with food sensitivities or digestive issues.

Many commercial dog foods—even those labeled as healthy dog food—lack some of the raw, easily digestible nutrients that goat milk naturally offers. That’s where it steps in as a powerful supplement.

Essential Nutrients Found in Goat Milk

So, what exactly makes goat milk nutritious? Here's a breakdown of the most important nutrients and what they do for your dog:

1. Calcium and Phosphorus

These minerals are essential for strong bones, teeth, and muscle contractions. Whether your pet is a growing puppy or a senior dog, calcium supports skeletal health, while phosphorus aids in cellular repair and kidney function.

2. Vitamin A

Supports eye health, immune defense, and skin repair. Goat milk contains a natural form of vitamin A that is highly bioavailable—meaning your dog can absorb and use it more efficiently than synthetic versions.

3. Vitamin B Complex

B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, and B12 in goat milk promote healthy metabolism, nerve function, and red blood cell production. These are especially important for active dogs or those recovering from dog illnesses.

4. Magnesium and Potassium

These minerals regulate hydration, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Potassium also supports healthy heart function, which is especially beneficial for senior dogs or pets prone to cardiovascular issues.

5. Probiotics and Enzymes

Raw or fermented goat milk is rich in natural probiotics and enzymes, which enhance gut flora and support digestion. This helps with feeding dogs who experience bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or flatulence.

6. Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs)

Goat milk contains MCFAs that are easier to digest and offer quick energy. They��re also known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, helping dogs with skin issues, joint discomfort, and immune weakness.

Goat Milk for Puppies, Adults, and Seniors

Goat milk is one of the few supplements that benefits dogs at all stages of life:

For Puppies

Goat milk is gentle and nutrient-dense—ideal for feeding puppies, especially when transitioning from mother’s milk to puppy kibble or puppy food. The high calcium and enzyme content aids early bone development and gut health.

For Adult Dogs

When added to adult dog food, goat milk helps fill nutritional gaps and supports overall vitality. It can also improve appetite, which is great for picky eaters or dogs recovering from illness.

For Senior Dogs

As dogs age, they may lose interest in food or struggle to digest dry dog kibble. Goat milk softens food and boosts nutrient absorption, helping to maintain energy, mobility, and organ health.

Helps Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs

Many dogs have trouble digesting certain types of dog food, especially those with artificial additives or low-quality protein sources. Goat milk, thanks to its enzymes and probiotics, soothes the gut lining and encourages proper nutrient absorption.

It’s also helpful for:

Dogs recovering from antibiotics

Dogs with recurring upset stomach or IBS

Dogs with chronic dog ailments

Dogs with food intolerances

Unlike cow’s milk, goat milk rarely causes bloating or gas and is better tolerated in dogs with mild lactose sensitivity.

Can Goat Milk Replace Regular Dog Food?

Goat milk isn’t a replacement for balanced dog meals, but it’s an excellent supplement. Think of it like a multivitamin in liquid form—adding a nutrient boost to whatever your dog is already eating.

You can pair goat milk with:

Dog kibble (to add flavor and moisture)

Wet food (to increase nutritional variety)

Homemade meals (to improve balance)

Treats or toppers (for enrichment)

Whether your dog is on a raw diet or senior dog food, goat milk adapts easily.

How to Serve Goat Milk to Your Dog

Most dogs love the taste of goat milk. It’s creamy, mildly sweet, and easy to incorporate into daily feeding. Here are a few simple serving ideas:

Pour it over kibble as a meal topper

Freeze it into cubes as summer treats

Mix it with dog treats or bone broth

Serve it solo as a light snack

Blend it with pumpkin or oats for a homemade meal boost

Start with small portions—1 to 2 tablespoons for small dogs, up to ½ cup for large dogs—and observe for any changes in digestion or behavior.

Choosing the Right Goat Milk Product

Not all goat milk is created equal. Look for:

Raw or fermented goat milk: Highest in probiotics and enzymes

No added sugar or preservatives: Keeps it dog-safe

Pet-safe labeling: Indicates the product is processed and handled for animal consumption

Some premium options even include added herbs like turmeric or ginger to support dogs with inflammation or joint issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all dogs have goat milk? Most dogs tolerate goat milk well. But if your dog has a severe dairy allergy or a diagnosed digestive condition, check with your vet first.

Is goat milk safe for puppies? Yes. It’s ideal during weaning or for underweight puppies. Make sure it's plain and pet-safe.

Can I give goat milk daily? Yes, when used in moderation. It complements most dog diets and provides daily nutritional support.

Final Thoughts

So, is goat milk for dogs a good source of essential nutrients? Absolutely. It delivers a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and probiotics—all in a highly digestible form. Whether you're supporting a growing puppy, nourishing an adult dog, or caring for a senior with special needs, goat milk is one of the simplest, most natural ways to boost your dog’s health.

From gut health and immune support to bone strength and hydration, the benefits go far beyond basic nutrition. As more dog owners seek functional, whole-food options, goat milk stands out as a time-tested solution that meets both biological and practical needs.

If you’re ready to elevate your dog’s meals with something both delicious and nutritious, goat milk might be the missing piece in your dog feeding routine.

Looking to incorporate goat milk into your dog’s current diet? Let me know their age, size, and health concerns—and I’ll help you create a balanced plan that fits.

The serious effects of mineral deficiency during dieting on the body and countermeasures

Types of minerals that accelerate fat burning and effective intake methods

I'm focusing on daily dietary restrictions and exercise, but for some reason it's hard to get results. There may be a lack of minerals behind such problems. In this article, we will explain in detail the effect of minerals on dieting and creating an efficient and healthy body that combines simple exercises that can be done while walking.

1. What is a mineral?

・Definition and role of essential minerals

・The importance of minerals in body balance

2. Mineral deficiency that is likely to occur during a diet

・Risk of nutritional deficiency due to dietary restrictions

・Body abnormality caused by mineral deficiency

3. Mineral intake methods for successful dieting

・Mineral food that is easy to incorporate into everyday life

・Cooking and combination for efficient absorption

4. How to practice abdominal exercises that can be done while walking

・Basics of exercise to focus on the stomach

・Physical changes that can be achieved through continuity

5. The senergistic effect of mineral supplementation and walking exercise

・The relationship between improved basal metabolism and fat burning

・Stress reduction and stability of physical and mental balance

1. What is a mineral?

・Definition and role of essential minerals

Minerals are inorganic substances that are essential for maintaining the normal functioning of the body and cannot be synthesized in the body. There are 16 types of minerals that humans need, which are divided into main minerals and trace minerals. The main minerals include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine, and sulfur. These are deeply involved in bone and tooth formation, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, etc.

・The importance of minerals in body balance

When the mineral balance in the body is disrupted, the metabolism and hormone function are also affected. For example, if there is a lack of potassium, the water balance inside and outside the cells will be disrupted, causing swelling and increased blood pressure. If there is a lack of iron, the ability to carry oxygen will decrease, and you will suffer from chronic fatigue. This condition lowers the motivation of dieting and hinders the continuation.

2. Mineral deficiency that is likely to occur during a diet

・Risk of nutritional deficiency due to dietary restrictions

It is important to reduce the intake of calories in dieting, but if you reduce the quality of your nutrition, you will fall into a serious mineral deficiency. In particular, if you tend to avoid vegetables and seaweed, it will be difficult to consume magnesium and iodine. When it comes to a processed food-centered diet, sodium becomes excessive, and on the contrary, potassium continues to be insufficient. This reduces metabolism and makes it difficult to burn body fat.

・Body abnormality caused by mineral deficiency

Early symptoms of mineral deficiency include irritation, decreased concentration, muscle cramps, rough skin, and decreased immunity. Especially in women, iron deficiency can easily lead to anemia, and coldness, headaches, and fatigue appear on a daily basis. Chronic mineral deficiency also affects visceral function, causing a decrease in liver function and a deterioration in the intestinal environment. These are all factors that are dragging down weight loss.

3. Mineral intake methods for successful dieting

・Mineral food that is easy to incorporate into everyday life

Minerals can be easily incorporated from daily meals. Seaweed (seaweed, kelp, hijiki), nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts), and green and yellow vegetables (komatsuna, spinach, broccoli) are rich in minerals. In particular, komatsuna is a very good ingredient because it can consume iron and calcium at the same time and has low lipids. Just adding dried seaweed to the miso soup will replenish iodine and magnesium.

・Cooking and combination for efficient absorption

To increase the absorption rate of minerals, it is effective to take them with vitamin C and protein. For example, iron is increased by consuming it with ingredients containing animal protein and vitamin C (lemons, peppers). Also, be careful because excessive caffeine and alcohol promote the excretion of minerals. When supplementing with supplements, it is a good idea to choose one that contains a balanced number of nutrients, not alone.

4. How to practice abdominal exercises that can be done while walking

・Basics of exercise to focus on the stomach

This exercise method is extremely simple to consciously contract the abdominal muscles while walking. However, if you do it incorrectly, the effect will be drastically reduced, so it is important to know the correct form. First, straighten your posture and straighten your spine. When the pelvis is tilted forward or hunched back, the movement of the abdominal muscles is limited, so it is necessary to be aware of lightly stretching your chest. In that state, tighten your abdominal muscles so that your navel is close to your back while exhaling. Keep it for 5 seconds and continue to walk without slacking down while continuing to breathe.

By consciously focusing on the abdomen, stimulation is transmitted to the rectus abdominis muscles, transverse abdominal muscles, and even the pelvic floor muscles. This is similar to a technique called draw-in, and it is also used for rehabilitation and postpartum trunk strengthening. By incorporating it into the daily movement of walking, you can easily train your inner muscles. Once you get used to it, you can further increase your exercise effect by expanding your stride and using slopes.

・Physical changes that can be achieved through continuity

This exercise method is not to enlarge the muscles, but to awaken the deep muscles. After a few weeks, your posture will naturally improve, and your standing and walking will be beautiful. Improving posture also affects the quality of breathing, and increases oxygen intake, which also improves basal metabolism. By stabilizing the trunk, back pain and stiff shoulders are reduced, and a body that is less tired will change.

In addition, the horizontal abdominal muscles also play a role in supporting the internal organs, so by strengthening this muscle, you can eliminate the feeling of plumpness in the lower abdomen. Because you don't have to go to the gym and don't need special tools, you don't have much time and financial burden, and it's easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. Daily accumulation brings about a definite change in both appearance and health.

5. The senergistic effect of mineral supplementation and walking exercise

・The relationship between improved basal metabolism and fat burning

Minerals are a key element that supports energy metabolism. For example, magnesium is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids and acts as a cofactor in enzyme reactions. If this magnesium is insufficient, the biochemical reaction to promote fat burning will not proceed smoothly. At the same time, by focusing on the stomach while walking, muscle activity increases and energy consumption increases. By combining these two, the efficiency of fat burning is greatly improved.

Iron and zinc are also essential minerals for oxygen transport and muscle repair, and a synergistic effect can be expected when used with exercise. Not only diet, but also improved blood flow through exercise increases the efficiency of mineral use in the body. In partly women are prone to iron deficiency, so consciously consuming hem iron, which is well absorbed in the diet after exercise, leads to both physical condition and diet results.

・Stress reduction and stability of physical and mental balance

Magnesium and calcium have the effect of suppressing nervous excitement and work to keep the secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone, normal. Being aware of deep breathing and muscle contraction while walking has the effect of balancing the autonomic nervous system and has a positive effect on the secretion of serotonin. Mental stability is an important factor in preventing overeating and increasing the continuity of dieting.

When physical and mental stress is reduced, the quality of sleep improves and the secretion of growth hormone becomes active. Growth hormone has the effect of promoting fat burning and increasing metabolic activity at night. By supplementing minerals and making exercise a part of your life, health is built from the inside of the body, and good changes appear in beauty and mentality.

Lastly

The key to a successful diet is not to reduce the amount of food, but to adjust the internal function of the body. Minerals are not just nutrients, but are the backbone of life activities that are deeply involved in metabolism, hormones, and nerve transmission. By consciously consuming this and adding abdominal training to the most natural exercise of walking, you can achieve a healthy and sustainable diet.

If you feel that you can't lose weight even though you're doing your best, please try taking minerals and walking with core consciousness from today. A positive effect should spread not only on appearance, but also on physical condition and mood. While listening to the voice of the body, developing habits that can be continued without difficulty will lead to a truly beautiful and healthy way of life.

I ate plain rice all of yesterday, but today I decided pretty much immediately that getting enough potassium that was wasn't going to happen even with supplements, So I am having beans and corn in sauce.

Trying to actually avoid calcium and phosphorus, rather than just not having too much, as I said, probably won't accomplish much if my hormone levels are telling my body to get them from my bones.

And if I don't actually have to worry about my kidney function short term... I really just have to focus on avoiding vitamin d and iodine to control the problem, and making sure I get enough potassium and salt.

I don't think I have to worry about cardiac spasms from blood calcium spikes starting up again if I am fixing the electrolyte imbalance at a reasonable rate and have enough magnesium in my body/diet.
