Everything You Need to Know About Fruits and Veggies: Apples

Apple (Malus domestica)

*Poisonous *Medical *Culinary *Feminine

Folks Names: Fruits of the Gods, Fruit of the Underworld, Silver Branch, The Silver Bough, Tree of Love

Planet: Venus

Element: Water

Deities: Venus, Dionysus, Olwen, Apollo, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, Diana, Zeus, Iduna

Abilities: Love, Healing, Garden Magic, Immortality, Spiritual Development, Opening the Door Between Realms, Manifestation, Abundance, Hexing

Why Poisonous?:The seeds within apples contain chemical compounds that cause cyanide poisoning. Mild symptoms include: anxiety, headaches, dizziness, and confusion, while acute poisoning can cause high blood pressure, paralysis, coma or death. Do not consume a large amount of apple seeds at once.

Characteristics: The tree is small and deciduous, reaching 3 to 12 m tall, with a broad twiggy crown. The blossoms are produced during the spring while the fruit itself is matured in the autumn. The flowers are white with pink tinge that fades over time.

History: Originated in Central Asia with its ancestor plant, Malus sieversii which is a wild apple native to southern Kazakhstan. In the bible, it was used a symbol of temptation as it was the fruit that tempted Adam and Eve to be thrown out of the Garden of Eden. It is also known as a symbol of immortality, health, vitality, love and fertility by many religions. In Wicca, you cut an apple through its core to reveal the five-pointed pentagram that represents the four natural elements plus Spirit. It has been written that witches would use apples to hex and poison their victims, while the tree itself is sacred to Druids. The druids believed it was one of only two tress that would support their beloved mistletoes. On the Twelfth Night tradition, Pagans would sing to the tree, hoisting cheerful mug of wassail to drive wassail demons and coax out an abundant harvest for the Earth. It is also said that unicorns love to dwell in apple orchards and love the taste of the fruit. Before eating an apple, one must rub it to remove demon or evil spirits that maybe hiding inside.

The Gods and Humans as i baby is just so AHIDKDNDKDJDBZHAJZHD 💓💓💓💓💓💓 i need to see Hades as a baby 💜💜 to imagine him as a little baby? 💜 the idea is BAKDJBEEKS 💖💖💗💞💞💘💕💘💖 AAAA SO CUTE ❣️❣️❣️

Im so sorry for my explode, they are just sooo cute i think i have diabetes 💗💗💗

I wonder if I should be warnings up for fluff this sweet. I don’t wanna get sued ;P

-You woke up, expecting to hear your husband snoring softly, but you startled away, hearing the crying of a baby.

-You sat up and saw a toddler that looked exactly like your husband, your eyes wide as you gawked before you picked him up, holding him to your chest, “Now-now (God), it’s okay, no more tears.”

-Almost instantly he calmed down, sniffling softly as he looked up at you while you were internally panicking, questioning how did this happen?!

-You found some clothes to dress your toddler husband, as it was the middle of winter, it was chilly, and you didn’t want him to get sick before you made a few calls about what to do.

Hades- He was mostly stoned faced when you picked him up, holding him to your chest. He looked up at you, blinking as if he didn’t recognize you before he instantly smiled, cooing up at you. Your heart nearly shot out of your chest as you cooed, rubbing your cheek against his, “You’re so cute!!” he giggled sweetly before you took him to the kitchen, to get something to eat for the two of you. He ate the sliced apples you gave to him before he called out to you, glaring as you turned around, smacking his hands on the table, looking upset. You picked him up, a smile on your lips, “What’s wrong love?” his hand reached up, hitting lightly against your lips, pouting. You instantly smiled at him, “Aww~ you want your kisses?” his glare increased, as did his pout which made you nearly squeal before you walked to the living room so you could sit down. Your lips met his pudgy little cheek and POOF, you had a naked, normal Hades on your lap, staring down at you in confusion. You almost immediately pouted, as you wanted to kiss his cute little baby cheeks a bit more, but your hands slid up to his cheeks, making him smile at your affection as you told him what had happened while he sat while you wrapped a blanket around him, making a Hades burrito.

Loki- If you thought your husband as an adult was a gremlin, you had to wonder how in the hell did Odin survive raising him with his sanity intact. First you had to chase the butt naked toddler around the house as he laughed, thinking it was a game, until he ran into the patio door, feeling the icy cold from the snow outside and he immediately ran into your arms, giving you big puppy dog eyes, cooing so cutely up at you. You bit your lip, unable to stay mad at him, getting him dressed before wrapping him in a blanket, pulling him into your arms. He cooed so sweetly up at you, hugging you, batting his eyes and you couldn’t help but giggle, dancing with him, which made him giggle. After getting him to eat something he threatened to run again, but you caught him easily, making him laugh as you fell back into the couch, “You’re so cute~~!!” he pouted at you, knowing that he wasn’t cute, he was cool, pushing himself up, his hands on your boobs. He looked down and instantly smiled brightly, smacking your boobs lightly, not hurting you, giggling brightly while you rolled your eyes. After wearing himself out, he was quickly knocked out, his head on your boobs, sleeping soundly. You took a few pictures before you managed to lean down a bit, pecking his forehead before you fell asleep. When you woke up, Loki was still out, his arms wrapped around your torso, now back to normal, although naked. You pulled a blanket over him, and he nuzzled down into your chest a bit more, remaining asleep as he squeezed you, mumbling out your name quietly.

Since I know I have a not-insignificant amount of gainers follow me, here's some unsolicited advice:

Take fiber.

Like a fiber supplement. Soluble fiber is the closest thing to a miracle supplement we have. So like, you've probably learned that eating bad cholesterol will make your body's bad cholesterol go up. This is not true. The cholesterol you eat, both good and bad, is entirely broken down in your gut. What actually correlates with low bad cholesterol levels is high soluble fiber intake. And just by the nature of things, a diet that's high in bad cholesterol is also likely to be low in soluble, and vice versa. It's not a perfect guard against heart disease, but it's a damn good one.

But that's not all. Y'know how apples are better for you than candy with the same amount of sugar? Sure that's partly because of the vitamins and such, but it's also because of the fiber. Because soluble fiber slows down how quickly your body uptakes sugar, so it causes less of a spike in insulin and it'll help protect against diabetes.

Like, do you understand what I'm saying, one serving of psyllium husks a day will go a very long way towards protecting you from both heart disease AND diabetes. Its not perfect, a bad enough diet can still break through the protection, but like. Those are the main two things!

Apple cider vinegar, or ACV, has been touted for its numerous health benefits for centuries. Here are some of the most well-researched benefits:

Digestive aid: ACV contains acetic acid, which helps break down proteins and carbohydrates, reducing symptoms of indigestion and bloating. Why: Acetic acid's pH level helps to balance the body's natural digestive processes.

Weight loss: ACV contains pectin, a soluble fiber that helps reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness. Why: Pectin slows down the absorption of glucose and insulin, leading to weight loss.

Lower blood sugar levels: ACV contains acetic acid, which has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose production in the liver. Why: Acetic acid's ability to improve insulin sensitivity helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Heart health: ACV contains polyphenols, such as quercetin and epicatechin, which have antioxidant properties that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Why: Polyphenols' antioxidant properties protect against cardiovascular disease by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

Antimicrobial properties: ACV contains acetic acid, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help combat infections. Why: Acetic acid's antimicrobial properties make it effective against a wide range of microorganisms.

Anti-inflammatory: ACV contains polyphenols, such as quercetin and epicatechin, which have anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate symptoms of conditions like arthritis and gout. Why: Polyphenols' anti-inflammatory properties reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Improved dental health: ACV contains acetic acid, which helps reduce tooth decay and gum disease by killing bacteria and acid-producing microbes in the mouth. Why: Acetic acid's antibacterial properties eliminate harmful bacteria that contribute to tooth decay.

Lower cholesterol levels: ACV contains acetic acid, which has been shown to inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver. Why: Acetic acid's ability to inhibit cholesterol production reduces LDL cholesterol levels.

Improved gut health: ACV contains prebiotic fibers like pectin, which help promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Why: Prebiotic fibers feed beneficial bacteria, supporting a healthy gut microbiome.

Antioxidant-rich: ACV contains antioxidants like quercetin and epicatechin, which help protect against oxidative stress and cell damage caused by free radicals. Why: Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and cell damage.

be cautious about quality/quantity vinegar consumption.

Use organic, unfiltered, unprocessed apple cider vinegar, which is cloudy, meaning it contains the “mother.”

Two teaspoons to two tablespoons is the general dosage recommendation. If you want to drink it, dilute it with water or your favorite juice or tea.

Oral: For diabetes, dilute 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of water daily. For weight loss, drink diluted dose with high carbohydrate meals.

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

[ loving scott malkinson / #OO2 . requested! ]

𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒★𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 , 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓.

episode two: jamie's requests

( scott malkinson . gn ! reader )

━━━ 💌 NOTE : ahh I just love scott!! He's one of my fav ( besides butters ) and thank you for request anon! You're my first anon to request, thank you! Sorry if this is short! I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted!! aged up ofc!

━━━━ 🦷 WARNINGS : mention of bullying.

━━━━ HEADCANNONS .

💌 , since the first time you entered the school, scott was like "🧍‍♂️omg- they're so pretty.. " and he was so surprised when you walked up to him and asked for his number. His friends oo'ed him and smirked towards him. He gave you his number and you winked at him saying you'll call him later. This boy hid his face away from everyone as they congratulate him. "I didn't think you can pull bitches, scott. " "kindly shut the fuck up, clyde. " that's the start of it all! :D

💌 , aww my awkward little baby! Scott is so awkward with pda. The first time you tried to hold his hand, he jerked it away soo fast that you were left wide eye. He noticed you looked sad and held your hand, shaking a bit. When he's holding hands with you, he tries to tell you funny things he did when he was younger, to not focus on your intertwine hands. He loves the affection that you give him, but he especially loves your kisses.

💌 , the first time you kissed him, he whispered "my first kiss.. " ( well, technically, it wasn't his first kissed since he kissed sally from that one episode. But this kissed was filled with real love 🥺 ) and he covered his mouth with a gasp. You found it funny and kissed him whenever he starts to talks bad about himself, 10/10. He nervous about sharing kisses in public but will step out his comfort zone just to kiss you on the cheek. really nervous when you kissed him in front of his friend.

💌 , a few days later into the relationship, scott most likely got comfortable to cuddle you. He loves it sooo much. Imagine, he's like, "babe..

He just feels so safe that he can't help but fall asleep. And if your rambling about random stuff?? Oh he's in heaven.

💌 , not really a jealous boyfriend but will stand his ground. Someone flirting with you in the supermarket? Alright, that's alright.. Stay calm scott. Someone trying to touch you? He's going feral. Being mocked for being diabetic and being made fun of, he's learned to stand his ground and protect his loved ones. He's wrapping his arms around your waist and staring at you lovingly. "Hey babe? Have you found your things? I think I need my insulin..☺" once you two move away from that person, he turned around towards them and sticks his tongue out.

💌 , he lovesss when you bring snacks for him. Like, he's like, "you- you bought me apple juice? aw, thank you, sweetheart..🥺" and you're like, "anything for you baby! 🤗" like you have him on a verge of tears- "really? aw I love you! 🥰" I love this man so much.

Greater Good

@whumpril Day 5: Reckless

CW: exhaustion, self-blame, difficulty breathing, mentions of being choked

continuation of yesterday's entry: Aftershock

Medic was unconscious for less than a minute. It felt like no time at all for them, but it was evidently enough time for half the medical tent to have panic attacks and the acting head of medicine to take a personal interest (or more accurately, personal frustration) in their case.

"Oh good, you're back with us." the Medical Director huffed when Medic's eyes fluttered open, flinching as the Director rubbed some sickly sweet gel on their gums less than gently. They were lying on the cot Whumpee and Caretaker had previously been occupying. They were both still nearby. Someone had found a chair for Whumpee to sit in at Medic's feet, and Caretaker was looking worryingly at Medic over Director's shoulder.

"What happened?"

Medic weakly pushed Director's hand away from them and licked away the gel in their mouth. Their voice was raspy suddenly, and lying down was making breathing harder than before. But the ceiling of the tent was still swaying above them so Medic didn't risk trying to sit up.

"Low blood sugar?"

"Among other things." Director growled "You're blood oxygen is even lower, and I'm betting those bruises on your neck have something to do with it. Drink this."

They shoved an apple juice into Medic's hand and left their line of sight. Caretaker glared after Director before helping Medic to sit up so they could drink the juice. Swallowing the liquid was difficult, and Medic had to take tiny sips to tolerate the pain of it.

"I thought I told you to take a break after that incident." Director began to scold Medic as they drank. "What happened?"

"I was going to," Medic rasped "But Whumpee walked in right afterwards and..." They trailed off, not wanting, or feeling the need to continue. Whumpee gave Medic an apologetic smile and reached out to pat their foot comfortingly. They opened their mouth as though they were going to say something but Director plowed on before they got the chance.

"And when was the last time you ate? You're not diabetic or hypoglycemic, so you shouldn't be having a low blood sugar unless you're starving."

"I had one of the protein bars the volunteers passed out."

That seemed to be the last straw for Director.

"That was the last time you ate!" They yelled. "That was over a day ago! Medic! How could you be so reckless and irresponsible! People's lives were in your hands you idiot! You can't help anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself. What if you passed out while treating someone! What if you passed out while doing that surgery on that asshole's wife! He would have actually killed you, and you would have deserved it! -"

It sounded like Director was going to continue but Caretaker abruptly interrupted. Standing up so fast Medic got dizzy again, and placing a hand firmly on Director's chest.

"Stop it!"

In all the years Medic had known Director, they had never heard anyone speak that way to them. Director was the kind of person who commanded respect, even if they didn't entirely deserve it. Medic should have known they'd meet their match with Caretaker though. They were always looking for a fight, one way or another.

"They don't deserve to be talked to like that. We've just had an earthquake. Their friend was missing, and they've been working none stop without sleep for two days. Of courses Medic isn't thinking straight. It took them nearly being killed to get offered a break for God's sake! And no one has tried to provide the doctors food other than a few protein bars? Not to mention relief isn't due for another day. If anything you're being the reckless one. You're people are going to start dropping like flies soon if you keep this treatment up."

Medic's heart broke for Caretaker in that moment. As tough as their love could be at times, they were the most loyal friend Medic had. They were always the first to come to Medic's defense, no matter the situation. After two days of being blamed for everything under the sun (including in at least one circumstance, the sun itself), it was nice that someone was finally trying to stand up for them. But in this instance, it was an ill-founded defense.

"Caretaker," Medic reached out and tugged at Caretaker's wrist before they could continue admonishing Director. "It's not Director's fault. We were given breaks, I just skipped them."

Everyone stared at Medic with wide eyed expressions. Whumpee seemed to be coming down from their adrenaline and looked too tired to be anything more than surprised by Medic's admission. Director looked like they were going to start yelling again if they weren't already leaning away from Caretaker like a scared animal. Probably a good idea since Caretaker looked like they were going to hit which ever one of the two spoke first. Luckily for the both of them, it was Whumpee.

"Why?"

Medic took as deep a breathe as they could manage and trained their eyes on Whumpee because they didn't want to look at the other two.

"I wasn't going to be able to sleep with you unaccounted for, and I wasn't allowed to join the search parties during my breaks. All I could do to distract myself was to keep busy. And people just kept coming in. And the injuries kept getting worse. They needed as many hands as they could get. So I just kept telling myself it was for the greater good."

Medic cut themselves off. Their tired, oxygen deprived brain hadn't comprehended their words until it was too late. Quickly they snapped their head back to Caretaker and Director. Director looked, surprisingly, somewhat sympathetic to Medic's explanation. It was impossible to tell Caretaker's expression however as they had buried their face in their hands. Medic was certain though that they were both thinking about the same thing. The last thing Caretaker had yelled at them before marching out of the tent to go searching for Whumpee two days before.

God damn you and your greater good mentality! If that's how you feel, you better save every God damn person you touch until Whumpee is found!

"Oh Medic" Caretaker mumbled into their hands. It sounded like an apology. A moment later they lowered their hands and turned away Medic, not quickly enough to hide the tears in their eyes.

"I think we can agree Medic can't work in their condition." They told Director in a much softer voice than they'd addressed them in previously. "I'm going to take them both home to rest. When will you need Medic back here?"

As Director and Caretaker began to discuss what Caretaker should be doing to care for their friends, Medic watched Whumpee, who seemed to be getting a little more color in their face, even as their eyes were drooping and they were listing to the side, loosing themselves to exhaustion. Medic could relate. Now that it seemed final that they were not going to be working anymore today, they could also feel their eyes getting heavy, and all the pain they had been ignoring for the past few days was seeping in. They knew Caretaker was probably going to yell at them again when they were feeling better, and there was a strong possibility that Director was going to discipline them once this was all over, but all they could feel now was relief.

Ivan:*making apple pies*

Have a an apple pie piece and rest in peace \("J")/. Alfred: *walks into the kitchen captivated by sweet odor* Mmmm. So that is why we have so much of arsenic. Ivan: You can't imagine, how good it is with apples. *cuts a piece* *telling with sweat snide voice* Do you want some? Alfred: Only after you eat some of mine deep fried butter, honey buns.

Ivan: you know, no-one will fuck you if i die of a heart attack? Alfred: I'ill put you in formaline. *slaps ivan's ass* *Takes another piece of deadly pie* *Calmly, inadvertently, innocently exits the room* Not enough sugar, but tastes nicely. Ivan: You can't kill what is already dead or dead brained. And the amount of sugar is enough, it is you who has problems with diabetes!

Something a little sweeter since I am not a heartless mf

Eri meeting a rather young reader. Probably 6 at this point but a longer time with the Nagas. They panic about the girl being in the forest and all and tell her to run away quickly. That Nagas will kidnap her and keep her like a pet. And then they are so damn surprised when they find out that Eri has so problem with that and talks about her sweet Papa. How he let's her sleep on top of him and treats him so nice and takes care of her even if he is half blind and missing an arm and fingers in the other hand. And how he makes sure she is always safe and warm.

And reader is surprised and all. Cause they do not understand how someone would want to live with a Naga. Eri convinces them to come with her and check her Papa out with her.

Since Kai lost everything but Eri from his nest he took super careful and loving care of her. She is the only thing that keeps him sane, happy and alive. He knew if it was iyst him he would turn viscious and angry.

In case Eri first didn't belong to Kai's nest he might have found her outside a human house crying and covered in bruises. (Her parents are abusive like Tenko's) his insides twist,even if she is a human. No creature should treat their child like this. And maybe the child reminds him a bit of his old nest and mate. And he decides to take her in as his heart warmed up to her.

I’m gonna get diabetes from how sweet this is.

Eri would be so sweet towards Reader, like trying to bandage their wounds they got from running away or try to kiss them better.

She would be utterly precious to Reader, like holy shit, decent people exist in this godforsaken place! Like, Reader would find immense comfort in Eri’s presence and existence.

Eri would just be a sweetheart and would just be confused about Reader’s fear towards Nagas.

Reader: And then he ate a mouse in front of me! And his breath STINKS of venom! Then they had the audacity to say I’m being “a brat.” THEY KIDNAPPED ME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Eri, just vibing and trying to feed Reader a apple: 0-0 I’m sorry :( Would apples make you feel better?

Reader, nodding: Yes please

Had a sad day (cw: cancer, animal death)

Today my sweet dog Suki (named of course for Suki from Avatar the Last Airbender) lost her battle with cancer and crossed the rainbow bridge.

She was 15 and a half and the best dog in the world. She fought as best she could but it was a fast growing, inoperable cancer. She had really excellent quality of life until yesterday and we did not want her to suffer.

My heart feels like a bomb of glass shards exploded in it.

She's been my whole life for like 42% of my entire life. I've shaped everything around her walks and meal times and then as she got older and sicker her medicine times. I made half her food from scratch because she had a delicate tummy. I got a Costco membership in part because it was the cheapest place to buy the insulin for her diabetes and she loved the treats (obviously I like other stuff and am keeping the membership but...the chicken apple sausage discs and the freeze dried meats were her most favorite thing and she was so fussy). She was my exercise buddy--we did long walks together and I did my short routines on the porch when she did short potty trips on her tie out. IDK who I'm supposed to watch silly movies with now (the Cat only likes soap operas like Bridgerton and Grey's Anatomy and nature documentaries). Definitely don't know what to do with my sandwich crusts anymore (I only eat sandwich bread to share with her. I guess I go back to meat and cheese roll ups...?).

She's not the first pet I've lost but she is the one that hurts the worst, partly because I knew when she was diagnosed months ago what exactly was going to happen and approximately when. (My kind and wonderful and gentle vet was spot on with the timeline and I appreciate it and hate her for it in equal measures).

I know logically that letting her go was necessary and kind. I know even if I had 15 more years it would never be enough. She was a very good dog and my dearest friend but I miss her and want her back and haven't had a cry in a decade and a half that wasn't into her beautiful soft fur. But now there's no pleasant earthy doggy scent and no warm tongue and steady heartbeat to add comfort.

The cat hates being held, hates me crying on him and getting his fur wet. He will sit by me and purr gently to soothe but he's a cranky old man (20 and a half) and doesn't want to be squeezed and cuddled. I love him to the moon and back but he is not Suki. He is full of love but it is not the kind my heart feels like it wants right now.

"With the continuous extension of the human life span, the gap between a healthy, high-quality life span and the natural life span is becoming larger and larger," said the spokesperson at Wlesor. "The goal of Wlesor is to explore innovative anti-aging science and cutting-edge technologies to help people stay healthy, slow down the aging process, and live longer while being full of energy to do what they want."

Wlesor has developed various products and supplements that include ingredients such as spermidine, PQQ, coenzyme Q10, apple stem cells, and glutathione—proven to be effective. The unique ingredient PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone), branded as PureQQ™, targets the enhancement of NGF (nerve growth factor) production, a neurotrophic factor and neuropeptide primarily involved in the regulation of growth, maintenance, proliferation, and survival of certain neurons.

Among its wide range of benefits, Wlesor’s PQQ is commonly used for anti-aging prevention and protection of vital organs, including the brain, heart, and liver. Studies have shown that PQQ can improve heart health, reduce inflammation, increase lifespan, prevent cancer, and more.

Wlesor’s team of professionals regularly updates blog posts to stay current with the latest health news. The health supplement brand also provides valuable knowledge and resources through its website and YouTube videos.

Jo’s grandpa appreciation post bc I just made some overnight oats for tomorrow that he would love.

my grandpa is pretty well my father figure since my dad sucks majorly and anyway heres all the amazing wonderful stuff about him that makes me wish the entire world could have someone like him

He always told me stories when I was little. my favorite was jack and the beanstalk but because he modified it so the giant had a giant cat that in the end when the chop down the bean stalk, jack and his mom sell to a zoo and get a bunch of money.

He believes rhythm is one of the very most important things you can teach a child he used to bounce all us grandkids on his knee to the beat of music and he always encourages me to tap my foot to songs

he’s very dyslexic but currently writing a book

he likes to talk about folk music with me

I’ve dated two boys in my life my first relationship was long distance and he still sometimes calls my grandpa for car advice. When I was dating my ex once him and grandpa talked on my phone for over an hour about stock car racing

if he hadn’t had a family he was going to pursue being a nascar driver

he can build anything, he built me an American girl doll bed when I was a kid and his sister (my great aunt) who lives right next door to him sewed me a mattress for it

he loves vintage western wear

he has my mom cut his hair bc he got mad that his barber kept cutting his hair too short, he says she thinks everyone should have cop cuts but he’s a product of the 50s-70s he likes a longer haircut

he completely replaced the floor and even did the plumbing in our bathroom just recently. ;he’s in his 70s)

once he said he didn’t feel well at dinner with our friends after the nhs ceremony and had us worried about him but actually he was late walking his dogs and didn’t want them to be sad but didn’t want to be rude about leaving

he always signs his title as grampa instead of grandpa bc that’s how I pronounce it. So when I was 13 and he got heart surgery and it was still Covid regulations so I was too young to visit him he wrote a thank you note to my card and signed it that, he always signs off every text message with it

he loves fruit and always keeps apples at his house. He told my mom “I’m a good diabetic.” While eating apple sauce. Still think about that lol

his little westie is the most spoiled dog to exist

Babies always smile at him in public

once I ran into him at lunch at school bc my friends went to the Walmart deli and he was grocery shopping and he apologized to me that he wasn’t dressed nicer (he was in his overalls)

he practically lives in overalls

when I was little my soccer team called him the man in the yellow hat bc he wears a straw hat almost everyday.

he dropped out of highschool.

I bought him a roy rogger tie as a present bc he got really teary over how important Roy roggers was to him as a child and at church that week he really proudly showed it to me.

he can look at anything and measure it

once he fell off a ladder working and had to stay home so we had to go shopping for him he told my mom and I the dimensions of the box of shrimp my grandma likes not the color or price or the brand or amount, but the dimensions.

oh when he fell off the ladder? The person driving the ambulance got lost and he had to tell them where to go.

his dad likes to collect rocks and so does he

he picks my grandma flowers from his garden.

he tells me about people from his childhood he realizes where probably on the spectrum like him and I are. He realize he was on the spectrum after I was diagnosed.

He makes the very best fry bread

he loves perry mason

once I called him in tears because a very baby bird had fallen out of it’s nest in a storm and I wanted him to come and try to save it (I couldn’t as I had cats at my house) or put it out of its misery and he drove out to my house and tried to nurse it to health (sadly it didn’t live)

When I was in upper elementary school I had a lot of meltdowns because I was bullied, other kids where starting to not like school so they were yelling being disruptive my little autistic self couldn’t take it and sometimes I’d have to go home early if it was really bad (eventually I got meds and accommodations) but mom and grandma worked jobs where the couldn’t pick me up so he did and he’d just take me along his errands to Walmart or something. Sometimes we’d get a doughnut. He always understood I wasn’t misbehaving I really wanted to do good and be good.

Did you know that consuming a small amount of dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) daily can help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension?

Here's why:

Flavonoids: Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which are a type of antioxidant that can help improve blood vessel function and reduce blood pressure.

Nitric Oxide: Dark chocolate contains nitric oxide, which helps to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Vasodilation: The flavonoids and nitric oxide in dark chocolate can help to dilate blood vessels, which can improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure.

Lower Blood Pressure: Studies have shown that consuming a small amount of dark chocolate daily can help lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension.

Improved Cardiovascular Health: The antioxidants and flavonoids in dark chocolate may also help to improve cardiovascular health by reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that increase the probability that someone will develop heart disease or diabetes. It is sometimes referred to as Syndrome X. Generally it includes high blood pressure, excess weight around the middle or central obesity (usually described as an apple-shaped body), and insulin resistance or the inability of the body to use insulin effectively. In a study published in the British Medical Journal, Australian researchers concluded that daily consumption of dark chocolate can reduce cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in people with metabolic syndrome.

Other facts:

The darker the chocolate, the more antioxidants it contains.

Dark chocolate is considered a "functional food" because it has potential health benefits beyond just providing nutrients.

Cocoa is a natural mood booster due to the presence of phenylethylamine, a compound that is similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin.

The researchers emphasized that these protective effects have only been shown for dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), rather than for milk or white chocolate, probably due to the higher levels of flavonoids found in dark chocolate. They also suggested that milk proteins in lighter chocolate may inhibit the absorption of flavonoids.

The Power of Fiber: Fueling Your Health and Fitness Journey

While often overlooked, fiber plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy diet and achieving your fitness goals. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested by the body. Instead, it passes through the digestive system relatively intact, offering a range of health benefits. Incorporating fiber into your diet can:

1. Promote Healthy Digestion: Fiber adds bulk to your stool, aiding regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. It also supports a healthy gut microbiome, promoting optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.

2. Keep You Feeling Full: High-fiber foods take longer to digest, keeping you satiated for longer periods. This can help control appetite, reduce overeating, and support weight management goals.

3. Regulate Blood Sugar Levels: Soluble fiber, found in certain foods, can slow down the absorption of glucose, preventing blood sugar spikes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those aiming to maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.

4. Support Heart Health: Studies show that a high-fiber diet can lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and promoting overall cardiovascular health.

Fiber-Rich Foods:

1. Whole Grains: Opt for whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat pasta. These provide more fiber and nutrients compared to their refined counterparts.

2. Legumes: Incorporate beans, lentils, chickpeas, and split peas into your recipes. They are not only rich in fiber but also offer plant-based protein.

3. Fruits: Enjoy the natural sweetness and fiber content of apples, pears, berries, oranges, and bananas. Remember to consume them with the skin whenever possible to maximize fiber intake.

4. Vegetables: Load up on fiber by including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, spinach, kale, and sweet potatoes in your meals. These veggies offer an array of vitamins and minerals too!

5. Nuts and Seeds: Snack on almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds. They provide healthy fats, protein, and a good dose of fiber.

From promoting healthy digestion to managing weight and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, fiber plays a vital role in overall wellness. So, make sure to include fiber-rich foods in your meals and enjoy the numerous nutritional benefits they offer. Stay fit, stay healthy!
