Health / Re: Depression
« on: May 08, 2011, 07:43:01 pm »
A significant mood-booster has been lying on the sunbed during winter. I usually get winter depression, but not any more. Nowadays you can probably aquire Vitamin D from the sun, lying outside between 10 AM-2PM. Also, following a paleo diet, I have less mood swings and a slight boost in baseline mood, but I suppose you aren't wolfing down pastries if you hang around this forum anyway.

You could try extinguishing lights at six PM. This helps normalize the circadian rhythm, which is extremely important for mental wellbeing, as much as anything that has been mentioned above. I also recommend this from personal experience.

But as the second poster reported, the psychological factors shouldn't be underplayed. My happiest time was as a high-achieving semi-anorectic calorie-restriction eater. You should definitely lay down the groundwork for your own wellbeing, but you can't delay take-off indefinitely and spend all your time preparing (for happiness). Conventional stuff like challenging yourself, being true to yourself, working hard, meaningful relationships are most important. If you do these things its def. possible to be happy even on a SAD diet, but maybe not as easy? I don't know.

General Discussion / Re: Raw Trout?

I wouldn't worry. I eat raw trout all the time as sashimi, it tastes significantly better than salmon in my opinion. Check out the Wikipedia page, they state that trout "contains one of the lowest amounts of dioxins (a type of environmental contaminant) of all oily fishes"

Carnivorous / Zero Carb Approach / Re: Braaaaains

Bump

But what about the dangers of Creutzfeld-Jacobs? Are there any? What were the reasons for the alleged ban of brains in the US? Where there is smoke, there is fire, methinks...

Carnivorous / Zero Carb Approach / Re: Fasting and zero carb diet

When I asked advice of the master faster, Dr. Bernarr (healself.org),,he asked what I normally eat - I said pemmican, and he said nothing, so I guess that pemmican is good for that purpose as well.

Probably anything raw that supplies all nutrients, which is raw fat meat. Not so sure of honey, as there is a danger of high blood sugar there.

This Dr Bernarr seems like a real loon. Did you see his advice for Down's Syndrome?

However, I am quite interested in the same questions as you are, as I am considering doing the same thing myself.

As for our forefathers living shorter, that's quite obvious why. Human beings have always been extremely violent - which is why we eliminated all of our hominid competitors. The "Peaceful Savage" myth is just that, a myth. Tribal folks have much higher rates of murder than we do. Also, living from hand to mouth is a very risky strategy. One mistake, and you're out. Not to mention hospitals. How many of us wouldn't be already dead if we didn't have hospitals? I think that moving away from hunting gathering was the very foundation for civilization, but disastrous for our health. That's just the way it is.
