junmyeon as a bf

the softest of the softies

kim junmyeon is an old-fashioned guy

and i’m not saying that in terms of being conservative or anything, ‘cuz i really hope he isn’t

i mean in the sense of love

like you know that kind of person who dreams the whole picture

he dates for a reason

unlike other members, junmyeon isn’t the type to not think about the future

being a leader makes you like that

but this gets less harsh on him when u arrive in his life

yk that whole romantic comedy movie where a guy runs into someone and it’s this beautiful woman with the biggest smile and they fall for each other and shit

well.......not exactly your case

he indeed ran into you with an iced tea in hands

except you didn’t smile at him

you basically screamed “SHIT IM SORRY ILL PAY U BACK”

he got so flustered w your reaction like

this really pretty girl just offered me some iced tea”

he was all like nonononononoooo don’t say that it’s fine don’t worry aha

you kept insisting but were late for work so you made him promise to come back to that bakery the day after bcs he WOULD be paid back no matter wHAT

he didn’t feel the need butyou were cute and he wasn’t with a thick schedule so why not right

so yeah ofc prince suho showed up

the next day he entered the place and saw you

you were so pretty watching you crinkling your nose over the hot coffee in your hands was already a payback

a cute one

cmon he’s cringey give him a chance

you bowed at each other and he realized you didn’t mention for Once between the whole minute after the accident and his arrival abt his name or profession as an idol

which for him

was nice

not a big deal, but nice

after you gave him his iced tea he was so polite you actually smiled bcs ajshskjsks cute ?

and then you started talking for a while

you introduced yourself, told him abt your dream to become a writer someday and he !!!!!

okay junmyeon easy on the hearbeats you got it

he just thought of this as such a COOL dream

writing for a living

now he was like this pretty girl... is a poet

i know

lame

but he’s adorable so who cares tbh

he talked to u abt being an idol and how was the position of the leader

you listened to every word and even though you lost a fee of them along with the honey like voice and puffy cheeks of his, you loved hearing abt it

after like 2 hours he had to go bcs schedule

but before you parted your way you had to go to the bathroom

when you went pay for your payback iced tea, you hear a waiter asking “mrs y/n? i believe that for you”

no shit there was the waiter holding a cappuccino

you got like Dude. there must’ve been a mist-

you turn the cup and there it is:

“for y/n

i loved the iced tea but since my goodbyes were a little earlier i most definitely own you a payback too. how abt sushi? xx” and the waiter hands you a note with his name and number

and that’s how you started seeing each other

jun is a quiet person so he won’t be like vocal abt developing a crush on you more and more

it would b like

you guys would hang out sometimes

and little by little he would catch himself getting the heart eyes

like you’re at a coffe shop

you would get passionate talking about some movie or song and suddenly there’s a drop of coffee on the side of your lip. you didn’t notice but he did but he thought you looked so cute popping off about ur favorite music he would just sit there like,,, 💖nvm💖

and with those little stuff he would catch himself thinking yup they’re gonna b mine

so one day he went like soooo maybe i’m catching feelings i didn’t know this was happening sorry??? so i think u should know that bcs it’s abt u... i’m fancied by u i didn’t mean it to happen

like straight up he APOLOGIZED

FOR LIKING U

you were like goshkjsjksj so cute

and decided to play w him a little

“so you don’t want to like me” “NONONOOO THATS NOT WHAT I MEA-” “jk i got it i really like you too and maybe we could kiss to see what happens”

he combusted

so yeah you’re dating that’s what happened

so caring literally sO CARING

calls you on a daily basis when he’s away to talk abt the weather the boys his breakfast how much he misses you how he saw those flowers outside and it reminded of you or how he will bring you to that country when it’s vacations

he’s such a husband material fuck me

keeps notes of things you like so he can hit the high score on important dates

talking abt dates

fancy

i mean he’s bourgeoisie ofc it’s fancy

such a lovely boyfriend i’m actually sad

jun is restaurants with low lights, candles, roses and holding your hand while talking about how he never seemed to figure out the food app to find a cool place to go to so he just asked chanyeol with a pout on his lips

“you’re such an old man” “i’m simple it’s different”

on your 1 year anniversary he took you to a boat ride on a lake witha guy playing violin and wine and cheese waiting for you

simple my ass

keeps bringing coffee and flowers for you every friday night you get together bcs it’s your “tiny vacations” as he calls it

on weekends with you the only ppl he answers is either manager or a serious question from the boys/his family

and it’s always a short “yes” or “no” or “👍🏻”

fuck it he’s with his baby leave him alone

loves cooking with you

like fuck it if it’s not that tasty he just LUUUVES doing it with you

probably because he gets to hug you a lot

like you’re in the stove and he had already placed everything in its own place so he goes behind your figure, hugs your waist and places his lips on your shoulder to give you tiny pecks and praise your cooking

“junmy this is practically burnt” “you’re the best cooker i know”

once you guys were enjoying a whole ass week together and the last time you were together for more than a day were like 6 months before

you were so all over each other he went to do the same thing and you guys ended up making out in front of a precooked pan of french fries

long story short, your toasted it and only saw that coming bcs jun went to embrace your waist and his fingers touched the hot pan

“that happened bcs of you and your teenager behavior” “YOU COULD’VE MOVED” “I WAS TRAPPED”

so guess what you did after you applied some salve om his fingers

he was staring @ u all 💖💖💖💖💖

you were like ,,,what

he just shrugged and murmured “you’re beautiful”

that’s right

you fucked

not fucked in a Fucked way

yall made love

kim junmyeon is all about luv

i remember someone posting here that he probably fucked like white people and i-

that person ruined it for me

i hate yall

i will defend him till the end of time my boi DOES NOT fuck like a white person

takes it very seriously as he sees it as an opportunity to shower u with the love u deserve

on that day you actually convinced him you should do the hard work

HELL YEAH YOU RODE THAT BITCH

jun seems like soft dom for me like just bcs he’s in charge for most of the time doesn’t mean youon get to do a thing

that time as you rode him you got very like Very excited but you saw in his eyes how desperate he was to touch you entirely so you catch his hand and kiss his fingertips slowly

he kept smiling for you saying “god you are so beautiful” “i love you so much”

but you’re a little shit and always tries and bring his rough side out

so you open your mouth and lick his two burnt finger from the knuckles to the tips

he got so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not really a vocal guy

heavy sighs and low groans are it for junmyeon

very into dirty talk

but a fancy one

“does my baby likes it when i make her beg?” “look at me, love. do you want it from where i can kiss your back or your breasts?” “you’re mine to take and no one else”

we don’t support women treated as objects but this is a sexual environment and you’ve always consented him to say things like that in bed

he’s a gentlemen fuck it

once you were so horny you straight up said “i don’t give a fuck about formality just make me cum at least three times”

he got 😳 for a sec but got your point

not a rough lover but once you get in a fight

you’re both pretty mature ppl so every rare time you fight it’s very Very serious

will kiss you until your both breathless just so you can not even catch your breath bcs he will be kissing your neck and liking your skin

“funny how you turn shut the fuck up as soon as i lay my hands on you”

bathtub aftercare is a must

“oh god- just please- jun, faster”

get a shot of soft myeonie post-sex

you lay there also on your stomach and rubbing his back drawing circles and talking about life

once he got so full of idk emotion?? love?? idk never been there

he just poured a whole “marry me”

like dude.

“WHAT” “not today, like... in a few years maybe idk forget it”

he closed his eyes to dismiss your reaction and just felt a warm peck on his naked shoulder

“of course i’ll marry you a few years”

his eyes shot open like This woman. the loml. dead ass said yes to my hypothetical proposal”

he actually got emotional

“kajsksjsksjsk really?????????v

but it makes him so !! all the time u get worried

once he actually CRIED out of stress

and you ofc were there

you kept hugging him tightly and slowly rocking his body with yours kissing his tears away as he kept softly saying “i’m fine, don’t worry”

you didn’t stop worrying

you said “if you’re fine then i can stay here hugging my boyfriend”

he nodded and kept sobbing for a little while

his head was pounding so you literally laid him down and cuddled him in your arms, fingers between his locks and hot breath on his neck

he once said the sound of your breath calmed him

so that’s what you did

you calmed him

and that’s everything he ever wanted

someone to be there for him on tough times like he’s always there for everyone

he loves the fact you’re always so calm and ready to solve any problem that appears

he loves the calmness and ““““normal”””” atmosphere you bring to him

after all those years of hardship and responsability

you showed him he could be a leader and have more fun on a daily basis

he deadass thinks abt your marriage

like it’s barely 6am, he wakes up and sees you sleeping next to him, hair everywhere on the pillow and mouth open

his heart goes 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Chaga: King of Medicinal Mushrooms

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/news/chaga-king-of-medicinal-mushrooms/

Chaga: King of Medicinal Mushrooms

I’ve talked about the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms in the past and I must admit I’m becoming a pretty big fan. These superfoods are catching on the US (just check the shelf at any health food store). One of my favorites is chaga mushrooms, and despite the short name, the list of health benefits they contain goes on forever!

Here’s why I got brave enough to try them:

What Is a Chaga Mushroom?

Chaga mushrooms are also known as the “gift from God,” “king of herbs,” and “king of medicinal mushrooms.” They grow primarily on birch trees in cooler climates like Russia, Northern Europe, and the Northern US and Canada. Russia, Siberia, and other parts of Asia have used medicinal mushrooms for centuries.

The chaga mushroom looks like burnt charcoal or a lump of lava on the outside. On the inside, these mushrooms have a rusty color that you can see when you break it into pieces.

Many ancient cultures used chaga mushrooms to:

calm upset stomach and ulcers

detox the body

regulate hunger

promote clarity of thinking

increase productivity

improve endurance

boost the immune system

What’s more, modern science is confirming these benefits. As interest grows it’s now easier than ever to find chaga in the form of supplements, powders, and elixirs… not to mention my preferred way to take it, coffee!

6 Health Benefits of Chaga Mushrooms

Chaga has gained much popularity of late because of its many uses in various ailments and for general health. In addition, recent research supports these ancient uses, solidifying its “royal” status. Here are some of its most studied benefits:

1. It’s a Superfood!

Chaga is a powerhouse of important nutrients. Look at this impressive list:

vitamin B2

vitamin D

betulin

phytosterols

calcium

iron

magnesium

phosphorus

sulfur

potassium

silicon

manganese

selenium

zinc

chromium

copper

If that’s not enough, chaga also contains polysaccharides (mostly beta-glucans) which help balance immune system response and can help fight cancer (more on that below).

As we age, our bodies need more antioxidants to protect our DNA from damage. Chaga is one easy way to get more in your diet. Last but not least, these mushrooms have the highest amount of antioxidants per gram of any plant. This is important since free radicals and oxidative stress in the body can cause health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.

2. Regulates Immune Function

Chaga is well known as an herb that supports the immune system. But how does it work?

The polysaccharides in chaga mushrooms are “biological response modulators.” That means they are able to boost or suppress the immune system, whichever the organism needs. This is particularly helpful in those who have autoimmune disease, since stimulating the immune system when it’s already overreacting may cause more issues. Research published in Mycobiology also found that consuming chaga increases production of immune cells such as T-cells in animal studies.

Further, a 2005 review (including human studies) found that chaga mushrooms are a potent immune booster without negative side effects. It also confirmed chaga can reduce inflammation, improve immune cell production, and enhance overall immune function.

3. Reduces Cancer Incidence

Chaga mushrooms can even have anti-cancer properties, thanks to its phytosterols and the polysaccharide beta-glucan, which affect cancer cells in the following ways:

improve macrophages (a form of white blood cell) and natural killer cell function

stop formation of tumors by protecting against potent genotoxic carcinogens

stimulate the immune system to fight cancer naturally

may stop tumors from forming blood cells

The effect that chaga has on tumors is profound. One 2016 study found that tumors shrank by 60 percent when using chaga extract on mice. In metastatic mice (mice with tumors that moved from their original location to other locations in the body), tumors shrank by 25 percent.

4. Acts as an Antiviral

One role of the immune system is to fight against viruses. Improving the immune system can improve the body’s ability to fight these viruses.

A 2015 study found chaga to be an effective antiviral against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

Another study concluded it was able to reduce infection of the hepatitis C virus by 100 times (in only 10 minutes!)

Additional research found that chaga can fight herpes infections as well

With these studies, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think chaga could be a good general antiviral treatment. More research is needed to know for sure, but it’s a promising possibility.

5. Improves Metabolic Health

As chaga mushrooms grow, they absorb a compound called betulin from the birch tree. This is helpful because betulin is indigestible when it comes from the birch tree directly. The mushroom converts it to a digestible form.

Research shows that betulin lowers cholesterol, helps prevent obesity, and improves insulin sensitivity in mice. In fact, researchers discovered that betulin was as effective or more effective than cholesterol-lowering drugs.

In addition, the antioxidant properties discussed earlier can have a positive effect on heart health, including supporting a healthy blood pressure.

6. Increases Strength and Endurance

Chaga may improve endurance and strength. Russians have been using it for centuries to boost strength and endurance (especially during the cold months). But there’s not much concrete evidence as to why it might help with strength and endurance. A 2015 animal study in the Journal of Chinese Medicine did find mice given chaga were able to swim longer. The theory is that the mushroom improved glycogen (stored energy) levels and reduced lactic acid (a by-product of strenuous exercise).

How to Use Chaga Mushrooms

So, with all these great benefits, how do you get this unusual mushroom in your diet?

The most common way to take chaga is in a tea or tincture. While you can use whole chaga or even chaga powder to make these yourself at home, there are a number of more convenient ways to get it in your diet:

(P.S. If you’re afraid of a mushroom-y taste, don’t be… I promise you won’t even know it’s there!)

You can also make your own chaga tea or tincture at home using whole chaga chunks. The advantage with this approach is you can use use the mushroom pieces again and again to make more batches of tea, and even freeze them for the most potency between uses. The tea will just be a little weaker with each use. Check out this tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

Chaga Precautions & Potential Side Effects

While it’s been used for centuries safely and effectively, there are some side effects and precautions to consider:

It may interact with medications and may reduce blood clotting (not good for surgery!)

It may lower blood sugar (good for some, not good for others)

Chaga may not be great for those with autoimmune disease because it boosts the immune system. However, as noted earlier, it is an immune modulator so would lower an immune response in this case.

As always, discuss with your doctor whether taking chaga mushrooms is right for you (especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have any underlying health issues).

Final Thoughts on Chaga Mushrooms

Research on the benefits of chaga mushrooms is still relatively new, but what we know so far is already very promising. I think it’s always interesting to see when modern science upholds ancient wisdom, and this seems to be a good case!

Have you tried chaga or other medicinal mushrooms? What did you use it for and how did it work for you?
