Have any of you heard of Selenium? 🤔

[thoughtportal]

Grinding tree stumps is usually how we deal with them. If you have land to clear on your homestead, it could become quite a chore to get these stumps taken care of. But did you know that you can eat your stumps?

Well, that is not exactly true. If you head out there and start chewing on tree stumps, they won't taste very good. And there is no method of slow cooking that will make that poplar edible or appetizing.

However, one way you can both eat your stumps and hasten their decomposition is to inoculate them with a mushroom spore. I understand that is a mouthful of words that don’t really mean much to the average person.

What I'm saying is, you can buy wooden dowels that are covered with the spores of certain types of mushrooms.

These dowels can be easily inserted into your stumps and they will begin feasting on the wood. The best part is that you will get delicious mushrooms several times a year. These spores are prolific and will produce enough mushrooms that you will need to dry them.

If you do this to a field of stumps, you better get your e-commerce ready or set a booth up at the local farmers market.

Shiitake Mushrooms retail for between 8$ and $15.

I prefer the Shiitake because it looks very distinct and I love the taste as well. They also preserve well.

Mushroom Nutrition

The Shiitake mushroom is a delicious little cap. It's full of great nutrients like copper and selenium. It's also a decent source of Vitamin B2 and B6. It contains lipids and amino acids as well.

Shiitake have played a role in Chinese medicine for millennia. There are also studies on their ability to fight tumors. For the most part, though, they are just delicious and grow with little to no effort. You can eat them, dry them, or sell them.

Tools and Supplies

Drill and Drill bit of 5/16th inch bit

Hammer

Wax

Vessel for melting wax

Small Paintbrush

Shiitake Spawn (store in fridge until ready for use)

The Process

7. That’s it! It’s not a tough process. If you can melt some wax and use a drill, you can have all the mushrooms you want.

How to Activate the Spore

It takes about 6-12 months for the spore to initially spread through your stump. So, it will take at least a year before you get any production.

Your stumps will produce in spring and in fall. You may get some sparse production in summer, but the bulk of production happens in spring and fall. The spore will need to be distributed through the stump each season and activated.

The best way to do this is to first soak your stumps thoroughly. When I do this with logs, I toss them into a small creek on my property overnight. You can water the stumps a few times a day for about 5 minutes. Just get them nice and soaked.

Next, you will want to bang the stumps. You can use a bat to hit the stump. Don’t really crack the thing and damage the stump, but give it a couple whacks on all sides. This will kickstart production.

Other Tips

After 6 months, keep an eye on the logs or you may miss the first production.

Stumps in the shade will produce best.

Too much direct sun will dry out the stump and they will not produce.

Harvest them when the cap is between 3-4 inches.

To dry, put them in a 200-degree oven until the caps are shrunken and hard.

Of course, the other payoff is that these mushrooms will hasten the decomposition of that problem stump. It won’t work as quickly as a stump grinder, but you will get years of delicious mushrooms out of it!

Pleaaase we need more people to code their own bots pleaaaase. I'll even give you a starting point, and if you can do better than me (not hard) I'll be super proud! With that settled: I mainly used Selenium with Python. Please make use of the "https://tumblr.com/logout" URL, it will be slightly easier than coding another click. Remember to use a VPN, I used Proton VPN for $0 and switched to another IP whenever Tumblr started to get mad at me. Use Stack Overflow and W3Schools for more and less specific questions respectively. The most important part is to have fun and be yourself!

Code literacy is very important in this day and age, and having relevant projects is a fantastic way to learn since it shows you how all the relevant concepts work together! If you were wondering about my ulterior motives.

Listen I feel so ugly all the time I'm trying to get myself better but it seems like every time I do something comes up and knocks me down to the point where I just quit and it pisses me off. Recently I started to use my journal more to write down stuff to better myself I write down quotes of the month, and listen to podcasts at work sometimes. But after work, I'm so tired I work from 8AM-4PM I don't have the energy to do anything especially working out and that's my biggest issue and it hurts me to the core that I'm this way. Do you have any tips to help me? Please cause I need it bad.

Hey sweetie, okay some ideas...

What is it you don't love about yourself ? What is that makes you feel ugly? Are these things you can accept or want to change? If you can't accept things you don't like about yourself, then honestly I would start thinking about making some changes. What is within your power to change? What would make you feel beautiful? Is it your teeth? Start saving for the Invisalign or teeth whitening strips, is it your thin hair, look into new hairstyles, weaves, extensions.. If it's your face shape that you really can't make peace with maybe its worth getting some fillers. And while I don't want to promote these things, in my personal experience I have felt happier when I've invested in my image. I had 11's between my eyebrows and after so long of trying to accept these lines in my head I got botox and I was the happiest. So go invest in you, if you can't afford it do what you can, save up & research online. Invest in your image. I've seen friends feel so unaccepting of how they look for years, putting themselves down because of early wrinkles, bad teeth - when all it would take is some investments. So choose you. This is your one life, do you want to spend it feeling ugly and second class every time you look in the mirror? Or do you want to invest in looking and feeling your best?

On the low energy - I would assess your diet. What are you eating, drinking? This will be a huge factor. Carbs - the devil in my opinion. I spent a vast majority of my life in carb crashing and hunger and needing more sugar / food DESPITE thinking I was eating and drinking healthily. Now I am studying nutrition, I am learning how detrimental my diet was to my overall health. So I would advise, protein and greens diet. Cut sugar, in the form of carbs/ starchy vegetables, replace chocolates / crisps with nuts and fruits. Drink more water, invest in some celtic salts, supplements (vitamin D + k2, vitamin c, DIM, selenium, magnesium - ensure there on no nasties inside bulking agents), grass fed meats, organic veggies, salads, bone broths weekly.

I would also make sure you are doing exercise. It needs to be sweat inducing. A run down the road and back to start with if you're unfit. You don't need a fancy gym. Take a cold shower when you get home (you can start with a hot temp and then do 30-60 seconds cold to build yourself up). Do some stretches, make an effort, as simple as while the kettle boils, make this an opportunity to touch your toes or rotate your hips.

These are some starting points. I would begin the latter first, get your energy and body right initially and then start putting money and investments into your image. Health is wealth, so while you may or may not feel beautiful, without investing in great health you will ultimately struggle.

I hope this helps. DM is open if you have more questions/ need more support xoxo

Thyroid: A Comprehensive Guide

The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck, is a powerhouse for regulating essential bodily functions like metabolism, energy levels, and hormone balance. Unlike temporary health concerns such as diarrhea, thyroid conditions often require long-term care and attention to maintain overall health.

This blog explores the thyroid's role, common disorders, symptoms, causes, treatments, and tips for keeping it healthy.

What is the Thyroid Gland?

The thyroid gland produces two primary hormones:

Triiodothyronine (T3)

Thyroxine (T4)

These hormones regulate metabolism, which influences energy use, body temperature, and weight. The gland's activity is managed by the pituitary gland through thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), ensuring proper hormone levels are maintained.

Common Thyroid Disorders

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

What Happens? Insufficient hormone production slows the body’s metabolism.

Symptoms:

Fatigue

Weight gain

Hair thinning

Dry skin

Sensitivity to cold

Depression

Causes:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (an autoimmune condition)

Iodine deficiency

Thyroid surgery or radiation therapy

Treatment:

Synthetic hormone replacement (e.g., Levothyroxine)

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

What Happens? Excessive hormone production speeds up metabolism.

Symptoms:

Weight loss

Anxiety

Palpitations

Excessive sweating

Tremors

Insomnia

Causes:

Graves' disease (an autoimmune disorder)

Thyroid nodules

Overconsumption of iodine

Treatment:

Antithyroid medications

Radioactive iodine therapy

Surgery in severe cases

Thyroid Nodules and Cancer

Nodules: Lumps in the thyroid that may cause imbalances or indicate cancer.

Cancer: Rare but treatable with early detection. Symptoms include a persistent lump in the neck or difficulty swallowing.

Tips for Maintaining Thyroid Health

Balanced Nutrition:

Eat iodine-rich foods like fish, dairy, and iodized salt.

Include selenium (e.g., Brazil nuts) and zinc (e.g., nuts, seeds) in your diet.

Regular Checkups:

Monitor hormone levels if you have a family history or symptoms.

Stay Active:

Exercise reduces stress and helps regulate metabolism.

Stress Management:

Techniques like yoga or meditation can improve hormonal balance.

Avoid Self-Medication:

Excess iodine or unprescribed supplements can worsen thyroid issues.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If you experience symptoms like persistent fatigue, weight changes, or swelling in the neck, consult a doctor immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing complications such as heart disease, infertility, or severe metabolic imbalances. Your thyroid’s health is essential for your overall well-being. Addressing thyroid concerns early can significantly improve your quality of life.

Elden Ring Elemental Allegory Hypothesis

So there's a question that has been on my mind for a while: does this Buckler shield look like a Helium atom?

There is an episode of Stargate SG-1 called "The Torment of Tantalus". A researcher named Ernest Littlefield has been stranded alone on a alien planet for over 50 years since 1945. The planet was called Heliopolis and was at one point the centre of power for Ra - a parasitic snake-like alien that lived inside a human host and presented himself as a god to the people of Earth. But long before this the planet was once the meeting place of 4 alien groups who communicated using the universal language - atoms.

I think it possible that one of the more subtle layers of Elden Ring is in using references to the periodic table of the elements to fill in some gaps in knowledge.

Summation of Sets - counting Rivets and Gemstones

For reasons that will become apparent later, the Buckler Shield is actually not the best example to start with because it is too generic and represents a few too many possibilities. Two better examples would be the Riveted Shield and Moon of Nokstella as both examples could be construed as referencing the moon (Selene):

Riveted Wooden Shield: Outer ring: 12 electrons - magnesium (Mg) Inner detail: 22 electrons - titanium (Ti) Combined: 34 electrons - selenium (Se)

Moon of Nokstella: Ring of small gems: 34 electrons - selenium (Se) Gems in settings: 4 electrons - beryllium (Be) Combined: 38 electrons - strontium (Sr)

I had an entire other post breaking down the elements of the Moon of Nokstella. But here I will run through the Riveted Wooden Shield.

The Riveted Wooden Shield is starting equipment for the Warrior class and the image upon it is of a sword and tree. The most likely reading of this is that the "tree" is represented as a conifer above ground and it's root system below ground, and the sword bisects these horizontally. The odd curvature of lines above and below the sword tip suggests also that the sword pierces a round object - perhaps an eye or full moon. The aesthetic of the Warrior implies a connection with the Blind Swordsman who long ago sealed the God of Rot, and indeed the head piece of this set covers and blinds the right eye (from the vantage of someone looking at the character). The right eye is associated with the eye of Horus and the moon in contrast to the left eye being the eye of Ra and the sun.

Magnesium, Titanium, and Selenium are all elements with connection to Greece. Selenium is named for Selene, the Ancient Greek word for the moon. Being the synthesis of inner and outer rivets this indicates the end product of the Blue Dancer/Blind Swordsman's actions - creation of a moon. As discussed further with the Moon of Nokstella, I believe this to be creation of the black moon or dark moon as selenium is a dark silvery metal.

Titanium is named similarly for the Greek Titans. The Titans were the pre-Olympian gods such as Gaia (earth), her son and husband Uranus (sky), their 6 male children, and 6 female children. The most well know titan is Cronus, the leader of the Titans who castrated and overthrew his father Uranus to become the god associated with the sky and the planet Saturn. The eldest of the Olympians are offspring of Cronus and Rhea: Hestia (Vesta - Virgin goddess of the hearth), Demeter (Ceres/Isis), Hera (Juno), Poseidon (Neptune), and Zeus (Jupiter). Some other Titans of note are the titan Hyperion and titaness Theia whose offspring were Helios (sun), Selene (moon) and Eos (dawn). And also Iapetus, father of the Titans Atlas (who holds up the celestial spheres (stars) on his shoulders) and Prometheus (who brought fire to man).

The name of elemental magnesium "comes from Magnesia, a district of Thessaly (Greece) where the mineral magnesia alba was first found". The word "magnet" has a similar origin as natural lodestones were also found in Magnesia. In the 1st or 2nd century BC there was an astronomer and thaumaturge named Aglaonice of Thessaly who was best known as a sorceress able to 'make the moon disappear from the sky'. It is the speculation of modern astronomers that this means that she could predict the general timeframe when a lunar eclipse would occur.

"Plutarch wrote that she was "thoroughly acquainted with the periods of the full moon when it is subject to eclipse, and, knowing beforehand the time when the moon was due to be overtaken by the earth's shadow, imposed upon the women, and made them all believe that she was drawing down the moon." Peter Bicknell notes that in most lunar eclipses the Moon does not disappear completely, but simply takes on a reddish hue. The ancient sources which discuss Aglaonice do not describe such a change of colour and there is no suggestion that she failed to convince observers that she was able to draw down the Moon. Bicknell speculates that in the first and second centuries BC there was a period in which the Moon appeared significantly less bright during the lunar eclipse due to variations in solar activity, and this might explain this apparent inconsistency." - Wikipedia article on Aglaonice

Overall, the point is that the shield can be read as indicating a time when the old Titans were supplanted by their offspring and thrown under the earth. This coincided with the old concept of the moon being replaced with a new one, which may be characterized as a lunar eclipse. Note that the landscape of the Lands Between is built upon the bodies of giants, and those giants are of a size to operate the Giant's Forge. And in agreement with the ancient mythic nature of this reading the Warrior is the oldest of all Tarnished - as the selection screen indicates "they were all warriors once".

Speculation on the Buckler Shield

Helium (He) would actually tie in quite nicely with the themes of Elden Ring. Its name is derived from "Helios" the Greek god of the sun, as the element was first observed via 7-prism electromagnetic spectroscopy instruments aimed at the sun. The first recorded observation of helium occurred during an eclipse on 18 August 1868 (also called "The King of Siam's Eclipse") by French astronomer Pierre Jules César Janssen. But it was not identified as a new element until a second astronomer - Norman Lokyer - observed the same spectral reading from England in October 1868 and confirmed the discovery with the help of chemist Edward Frankland.

Helium is the only element to have been first discovered in outer space before being found on earth and is very abundant in both the sun and the planet Jupiter in our solar system. It was later found on earth and isolated by chemist William Ramsay in 1895. Ramsay was also known for discovering Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon, and for isolating and characterizing Radon in 1910. Helium has many industrial applications such as the cooling of superconducting magnets, arc welding, growing crystals for silicon wafers and as a safer gas for lifting airships than the flammable hydrogen gas. It is generated through alpha particle decay of radioactive elements.

Buckler

A small metal roundshield. The bump in the center enables parrying techniques. A well-timed parry can break an enemy's stance, allowing a critical hit. Best suited for those prepared to take the risk to reap their reward.

The Buckler is starting equipment for the bandit class, or sold by Gatekeeper Gostoc. And based on this available information there is nothing that immediately stands out as relating to the shield being connected to helium. Although helium does have a fairly stable nucleus relative to its neighbours hydrogen and lithium, it is not what it is known for, and it is certainly not a metal. The description of the bump in the centre enabling parrying brings to mind the way that the nuclei of atoms will prefer to repel each other, thus performing nuclear fusion requires particles to be accelerated towards each other at very high speeds. Californium and Berkelium have been produced by bombarding Curium with alpha particles, Mendelevium is produced by bombarding Einsteinium with alpha particles.

There is a secondary explanation that fits - which is actually the first one that I had thought of. There is a theme in Elden Ring of shells. Turtles have shells that are symbolic of protecting secrets, snakes have shells (which don't match their species), the sorcerers have trays of shells sitting in their rises. One of the successful models of the atom is to arrange the electrons in shells, where the valence electrons in the outermost shell are available for bonding. It was coincidentally Edward Frankland again who introduced the concept of valence in the same year as the discovery of helium.

The Buckler is made of an unspecified metal, and as it happens there are many elements which are found with 2 valence electrons in their outer shell. These include Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), Yttrium (Y), Vanadium (V), Scandium (Sc), Technetium (Tc), Cadmium (Cd), Lutetium (Lu), Hafnium (Hf), Tantalum (Ta), Tungsten (W), Rhenium (Re), Osmium (Os), Iridium (Ir), Mercury (Hg). As well as the entire alkaline earth metal group of Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), and Radium (Ra). Whittled down the periodic table to a mere 23 or so entries of interest - not bad! And at least 10 of these (in bold) were already thought by me to be elements of interest.

And by the traces of rust on the shield the "metal" in question could be simply iron. Iron has two electrons in the outer shell and is the heaviest element produced by the sun with nuclear fusion. Iron represents a transition point - for lighter elements energy is produced by nuclear fusion and for heavier elements energy is produced by nuclear fission. Although the Earth's core is largely composed of iron, most available elemental iron in the earth's crust originated from meteorites.

This post is just an introduction to the kinds of things that I'm thinking about, really. Assuming the convention that rivets represent electrons there are so many other shields to sift through and cross reference with the other known information to confirm a real pattern. Other possible elemental references I have noticed: the variety of flame colours found in game being reminiscent of the colours produced in burning metals for flame tests; characters whose names or story themes represent mythological figures who have elements named for them; characters whose names contain a syllable that is a standard abbreviation for an element; and known types of metals incorporated in descriptions and visuals like gold, silver, copper, bronze, brass, iron, steel, etc.

And also, the buckler shield may be present in Elden Ring but it originated at least as early as Dark Souls. So that begs the question of how long ago could FromSoft have started playing with elemental metaphor go that uses the true atomic elements of the periodic table as inspiration lurking beneath an alchemical framing device.

How to Grow Your Nails Fast

Introduction

In a world where trends change as quickly as the seasons, one thing that never goes out of style is healthy, strong nails. Whether you're into nail art or prefer a natural look, having well-groomed nails can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. But what if you're struggling with slow nail growth? Fear not, as we delve into the intricacies of nail growth and explore effective strategies to accelerate the process.

Understanding Nail Growth

Anatomy of a Nail

Nails might seem like simple structures, but they are actually quite complex. Each nail comprises multiple layers of a protein called keratin, which provides strength and protection. Beneath the visible nail plate lies the nail bed, where new cells constantly form and push the nail forward.

Nail Growth Cycle

Nails, like hair, follow a distinct growth cycle consisting of three phases: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transition) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. Understanding this cycle is crucial for maximizing nail growth potential.

Factors Affecting Nail Growth

Diet and Nutrition

You are what you eat, and the same applies to your nails. A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is essential for promoting healthy nail growth. Incorporate foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to nourish your nails from the inside out.

Hydration Levels

Hydration plays a significant role in nail health. Dehydrated nails are more prone to breakage and brittleness. Ensure you drink an adequate amount of water daily to keep your nails hydrated and supple.

Hormonal Balance

Hormonal fluctuations can impact nail growth. Women may notice changes in nail growth during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause. Maintaining hormonal balance through proper nutrition and lifestyle choices can help support healthy nail growth.

Nail Care Habits

How you care for your nails can either promote or hinder their growth. Avoid harsh chemicals found in nail polish removers and household cleaners, as they can weaken nails. Additionally, refrain from using your nails as tools for tasks like opening cans or scratching surfaces.

Tips for Faster Nail Growth

Maintain a Balanced Diet Rich in Essential Nutrients

Fuel your body with the nutrients it needs for optimal nail growth. Incorporate foods high in biotin, vitamin E, iron, and zinc into your diet. Consider adding supplements if you're not getting enough nutrients from food alone.

Stay Hydrated

Hydration is key to healthy nails. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your nails hydrated and prevent them from becoming dry and brittle.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Nail Trauma

Protect your nails from damage by avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals and minimizing trauma. Wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes, and be gentle when filing or shaping your nails.

Practice Proper Nail Care Techniques

Trim your nails regularly to prevent breakage and promote growth. Use a gentle nail file to shape the edges, and always file in one direction to avoid weakening the nails. Keep cuticles moisturized and gently push them back rather than cutting them.

Consider Supplements and Treatments

Explore supplements and treatments specifically formulated to promote nail growth. Look for products containing ingredients like biotin, keratin, and peptides, which can help strengthen nails and stimulate growth.

Natural Remedies for Nail Growth

Coconut Oil Massage

Massage coconut oil into your nails and cuticles daily to moisturize and strengthen them. Coconut oil contains fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the nails and promote growth.

Garlic Paste Application

Apply a paste made from crushed garlic cloves to your nails and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing off. Garlic is rich in selenium and sulfur, which can help stimulate nail growth and improve overall nail health.

Lemon Juice Soak

Soak your nails in lemon juice for a few minutes to help brighten and strengthen them. Lemon juice contains vitamin C, which promotes collagen production and aids in nail growth.

Professional Treatments for Nail Growth

Nail Strengthening Treatments

Visit a nail salon for professional strengthening treatments like gel overlays or dip powder manicures. These treatments can provide added protection to weak or brittle nails and promote growth.

Nail Growth Serums

Invest in a quality nail growth serum containing ingredients like peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants. These serums penetrate the nail bed to nourish and strengthen nails from within, promoting faster growth.

Nail Extensions and Overlays

Consider getting nail extensions or overlays if you struggle with short or weak nails. These artificial enhancements can provide instant length and strength while allowing your natural nails to grow underneath.

Lifestyle Changes for Nail Health

Manage Stress Levels

Chronic stress can take a toll on nail health. Practice stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to promote overall well-being and support healthy nail growth.

Protect Your Nails

Wear gloves when performing activities that may expose your nails to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Protecting your nails from damage can help prevent breakage and promote faster growth.

Avoid Excessive Use of Nail Polish and Nail Polish Removers

While nail polish can add flair to your look, excessive use can weaken nails. Give your nails a break from polish occasionally to allow them to breathe and recover. When using nail polish removers, opt for acetone-free formulas to minimize drying and damage.

Nail Care Dos and Don'ts

Dos: Keep Nails Clean and Dry

Practice good hygiene by keeping your nails clean and dry. Use a gentle soap and water to wash your hands, and dry them thoroughly afterward to prevent bacterial or fungal infections.

Don't: Bite or Pick at Nails

Resist the urge to bite or pick at your nails, as this can cause damage and hinder growth. Instead, keep your nails neatly trimmed and filed to reduce the temptation to bite or pick.

Understanding Nail Disorders

Common Nail Problems

Be vigilant for signs of common nail disorders such as fungal infections, nail psoriasis, or ingrown nails. Prompt identification and treatment can prevent further damage and promote healthy nail growth.

Supplements can provide benefits when taken in appropriate doses. However, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers of excessive supplement intake. By following the safety tips above, you can help to ensure safe and effective usage of supplements.

Supplement Overdose: What You Need to Know to Stay Safe

We all strive to live healthy lives and often turn to supplements to support our well-being. While these products can offer benefits when taken responsibly, it's crucial to understand that even natural or herbal supplements can pose risks if consumed in excessive amounts. In this article, we'll explore what you need to know about supplement overdose and how to handle such situations.

1. Recognizing the Signs:

Identifying a supplement overdose can be challenging, as symptoms can vary depending on the specific supplement and dosage. However, some common signs to look out for include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, confusion, and difficulty breathing. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms after taking supplements, it's essential to act quickly.

2. Seek Immediate Medical Help:

If you suspect a supplement overdose, don't hesitate to call emergency services or rush to the nearest emergency room. Prompt medical attention is crucial in such situations. While waiting for professional help, try to keep the affected person calm and monitor their vital signs if possible.

3. Provide Information:

When seeking medical help, provide accurate information about the supplements ingested, including the brand name, dosage, and any other medications being taken. This information will assist healthcare professionals in providing the appropriate treatment.

4. Avoid Self-Remedies:

It's crucial not to take matters into your own hands by inducing vomiting or administering any substances without medical guidance. Incorrect interventions can potentially worsen the situation or lead to complications. Trust the expertise of healthcare professionals to guide you through the necessary steps.

5. Prevention Is Key:

Preventing supplement overdose is always better than dealing with its consequences. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

a. Consult a Healthcare Professional: Before starting any new supplement regimen, consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your specific needs and recommend appropriate dosages.

b. Follow Recommended Dosages: Always adhere to the recommended dosages provided on the supplement packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. More is not necessarily better when it comes to supplements.

c. Be Mindful of Combinations: If you're taking multiple supplements or medications, be aware of potential interactions. Some combinations can lead to adverse effects or decrease the effectiveness of certain substances.

d. Store Supplements Safely: Keep supplements out of reach of children and in a cool, dry place as directed on the packaging. This helps maintain their potency and prevents accidental ingestion.

Supplements can be beneficial when used responsibly, but it's crucial to understand the risks of overdose. If you suspect a supplement overdose, seek immediate medical help and provide accurate information to healthcare professionals. Remember, prevention is key, so consult with a healthcare professional, follow recommended dosages, be mindful of combinations, and store supplements safely. By being informed and cautious, you can make informed choices about your well-being and enjoy the benefits of supplements without compromising your health.

Weight Loss Tips For Pcos

PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is referred to a condition in which cysts develop on the ovaries. Between 4–20% of women in their reproductive phase of life may suffer from this condition. This condition is characterised by hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, inflammation, etc. All these together can make weight loss difficult, especially for those women who also have thyroid disorders. PCOS is also the leading cause of infertility in women.

Following are some tips for losing weight with PCOS:

Reducing carbohydrate intake

PCOS is often associated with insulin resistance (35% to 80% cases). In insulin resistance, the cells of the body are unable to absorb glucose from blood in normal amounts, leading to high blood sugar levels. This in turn can lead to higher conversion of sugar to fat in the body and weight gain. Reducing simple carbohydrates intake can directly lead to lowering of insulin levels, thereby reducing carb conversion to fat. At the same time, consuming a low GI (glycemic index) diet reduces insulin resistance and fat storage around the belly area.

Increase protein intake

Protein intake has been shown to improve blood sugar management by giving a feeling of fullness for longer. In addition, it also helps in losing weight. But remember that total protein intake should not exceed more than 40% of total calorie intake, as very high intakes can cause increased stress on the kidneys.

Include nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds are powerhouses of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals like omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, iron, selenium, etc. Seeds like pumpkin, sesame, flax and sunflower have been shown to bring about a balance between the reproductive hormones.

Reduce sugar consumption

Refined sugar, jaggery, honey all are high calorie foods with high glycemic indices and thus should be avoided. Added sugars also increase weight and insulin resistance. Research also shows that women with PCOS have higher blood sugar spikes on ingestion of sugar as compared to women without PCOS.

Get physically active

Exercise has been shown to help at multiple levels; be it weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, better hormonal health, etc. Therefore it is important to invest at least 30–40 minutes daily for exercise.

Get adequate sleep

Inadequate sleep increases levels of hormones like cortisol and ghrelin, that increase the feeling of hunger. It also leads to increased inflammation in the body. Our bodies carry out repair of damaged muscles and detoxification while we are asleep. Thus getting enough sleep is an important part of not just your weight loss, but also your health journey.

If you have PCOS and would like to lose weight, or improve your fertility, and are looking for help in planning and meal prep ideas, contact Kanupriya Khanna, one of the best Dietitian and Nutritionist in Delhi.
