Stand With Barbells Functional for The Sims 2

As requested I created a functional workout station for your sims (teen to elder) to exercise.

I used Lil Diva Weight Lifting Animations (you need to download the animations from her page) and the Barbell and Dumbbells from that post too but I edited them in order to be used with this object so if you want to use it but you have the old meshes in your download folder, you need to delete them and use these ones instead.

The stand is based on an accessories posebox; when the accessory spawn you need to wait a little for it to appear. Then sims will perform the actions and gain fun, body skill points, fitness enthusiasm and lose weight.

The original object is a 4to2 conversion from Severinka, low poly. Found in Hobby-Exercise

oh yeah forgot to share but yesterday I FINALLY BEAT RINGFIT AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO (and nearly passed out fighting the final boss lmao)

Honestly, Ringfit is such an underrated gem of a game, when I first started borrowing it from a friend I never expected it would become a nearly daily routine for me and yet here we are. The amount of care and thought put into this game shows and I can't be thankful enough that it exists.

If you're looking for a way to exercise even just lightly in a fun and engaging way and you have a Switch then please get this game it's so worth it

Can't wait to go into ng+ :)

Carb Counting for Type 2 Diabetics: How Many Carbs Should You Eat?

Managing your carbs is a crucial part of living with type 2 diabetes. It helps keep your blood sugar levels steady and can improve your overall health. So, how many carbs should you actually eat each day? Let's break it down.

Understanding Carbs: What Are They?

Carbs, or carbohydrates, are one of the three main types of nutrients. They’re the body's primary source of energy. When you eat carbs, your body turns them into sugar (glucose). This sugar enters your bloodstream and fuels your cells. But for someone with type 2 diabetes, controlling this sugar level is essential to prevent high blood sugar.

Daily Carb Needs: A Good Starting Point

When it comes to daily carb intake, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Most experts recommend that people with type 2 diabetes aim for about 45% to 60% of their daily calories from carbs. For example, if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that means you should aim for about 225 to 300 grams of carbs. However, many do better on a lower range, around 130-150 grams, especially if they’re watching their blood sugar.

Quality Over Quantity: Choosing the Right Carbs

Not all carbs are created equal. Focus on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods. Here are some tips:

Whole Grains: Think brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread. They’re packed with fiber and keep you feeling full longer.

Fruits and Vegetables: They provide essential vitamins and minerals. Choose fresh or frozen options over canned ones with added sugar.

Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are great sources of protein and fiber. They can help control your blood sugar levels.

Monitoring Your Blood Sugar: The Key to Success

After meals, check your blood sugar levels to see how different foods affect you. This can help you find the right balance of carbs that works for your body. Keeping a food journal might also help you track what you eat and how it impacts your sugar levels.

Meal Planning: Making It Work for You

Planning your meals around your carb intake can make a world of difference. Try to spread your carbs evenly throughout the day. This means not loading up on carbs in one meal and having none in another. Balanced meals help keep your energy levels steady and glucose levels in check.

Listen to Your Body: It Knows Best

Don’t forget to pay attention to your body. Everyone's experience with carbs is different. What works for one person might not work for another. If you feel sluggish or have high blood sugar, it could be a sign to adjust your carb intake or the types of carbs you’re eating.

Final Thoughts: Finding Your Balance

Managing carbs is critical for those with type 2 diabetes. It might take some trial and error to find what works for you, and that’s perfectly okay. Keep in mind the general guidelines, focus on quality carbs, and monitor your body’s response. With time, you’ll discover your unique balance that keeps you feeling your best.

“Exercise is by far the most potent longevity “drug.” No other intervention does nearly as much to prolong our lifespan and preserve our cognitive and physical function. But most people don’t do nearly enough—and exercising the wrong way can do as much harm as good. It seems that about three hours per week of zone 2, or four 45-minute sessions, is the minimum required for most people to derive a benefit and make improvements.” ― Peter Attia MD, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

Diabetes Insipidus and Your Hormones: What's the Connection?

Diabetes Insipidus (DI) might sound complex, but it’s all about how your body manages water. Did you know that hormones play a big role in this process? Let’s break it down.

What is Diabetes Insipidus?

Diabetes Insipidus is a condition that causes frequent urination and extreme thirst. It's not the same as diabetes mellitus, which affects blood sugar levels. With DI, the body can't properly balance fluids, often because of problems with a hormone called vasopressin.

The Role of Vasopressin

Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is produced in the brain. It signals the kidneys to retain water. If your body doesn’t produce enough of this hormone, you end up losing too much water through urine. Think of vasopressin as a water-saving superhero. Without it, your body feels like a leaky faucet.

Types of Diabetes Insipidus

There are two main types of Diabetes Insipidus:

Central Diabetes Insipidus: This happens when the brain doesn’t make enough vasopressin. It could be due to injury, surgery, or even a tumor.

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: In this case, the kidneys can’t respond to vasopressin, even if the brain produces it. This can be due to genetic factors or certain medications.

Both types lead to the same result: too much water loss and constant thirst.

Hormonal Connections: More Than Just Vasopressin

While vasopressin is a key player, other hormones also join the party. For example, the body’s balance of sodium and potassium can affect fluid retention and urination. An imbalance in these electrolytes can make symptoms worse.

Another hormone to consider is aldosterone. It helps regulate sodium and water retention in the body. If its levels are off, it can complicate the water balance, making DI harder to manage. These hormones work together in a well-choreographed dance, and if one is out of sync, your body feels it.

Symptoms and Impact on Life

So, how do you know if you have Diabetes Insipidus? Common symptoms include:

Frequent urination

Extreme thirst

Nocturia (waking up at night to urinate)

Dry skin

Living with DI can be challenging. Constantly needing to drink water or rushing to the bathroom can disrupt daily activities. It’s essential to understand these symptoms and their links to hormones to manage the condition better.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Getting diagnosed with DI involves a series of tests. Doctors often check hormone levels and may conduct a water deprivation test, which assesses your body’s ability to concentrate urine. Once diagnosed, treatment focuses on managing symptoms, often with medications that mimic vasopressin.

Conclusion: The Hormonal Balance

Diabetes Insipidus is more than just a thirst issue. It's about understanding the connection between your hormones and fluid balance. By grasping how vasopressin and other hormones work together, you can navigate the challenges that come with DI. Awareness of this connection can lead to better management and a more comfortable life. So, stay informed and empower yourself on this journey!

Me thinking that resistance exercise to build strength won't be hard because I love doing cardio workouts: This has to be easier, it's a slower pace than cardio.

Me the day after: I miss cardio. At least it's fun.
