Whats wrong with what we eat

Migrated topic.
Endlessness

I love chickpeas and humus i will definitely try to incorporate them both into my diet more often. I also need to incorporate more quinoa as i definitely don't have enough of it in my diet and i know its a really amazing protein source. Thank you for the advice, ill definitely be taking it on board my friend.


Much Peace and Understanding
 
I used to eat tons of junk food all day, I've changed that now. For breakfast I have oats, lunch salad with no dressing or meats, then for dinner I have something nice like chicken or occasional pizza or beef. I could never completely drop pizza, a good chicken parm, or a nicely cooked burger but just changing 66% of what I eat has made a gigantic difference.

I personally feel when you eat meat that is churned out and produced in such a horrific way and in such appalling conditions not only are you absorbing harmful hormones that are pumped into the animals but also you are putting a creature into your body that suffered tremendously. I don't think that its really healthy for your body to grow and nourish it self from something that suffered. Just my personal view, hence why i don't eat anything that i can make friends with.

I don't eat eggs either as i used to work in an animal sanctuary and one of my main jobs in the morning was to chop the baby boy chicks up, it really was really difficult for me to do, they were donated from the egg farmers who just kill all the baby boys as they aren't useful as they don't lay eggs.

You wouldnt make friends with a plant :( :cry: sad

and that is horrible. reinforces why i dont eat meat

Anyone eat cayenne pepper?


"If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other." - Dr. Richard Schulze, the medical herbalist

it opens the veins and makes the stomach acids produce more, it is great with say some mushrooms? or any food :)
 
Oh on a related note I try to make sure I incorporate foods to stimulate seretonin production (those that increase trytophan levels), as I take MDMA fairly regularly. Wholegrains, bananas and eggs =)

Nope didnt mean what I said in that way, I have a really deep connection with plants, as well as animals. I choose to be veggie as it causes far less harm and suffering... Animals are my friends and plants are my allies...


Much Peace and Compassion

Ohh thats interesting, I haven't heard about tryptophan increasing dream intensity/vividness- I'll def have to look into this =)

& yes hehe lucy in the sky with diamonds is a great beatles classic <3
its usually my msn handle- the girl with kaleidoscope eyes, i figured it'd be a tad long for a forum name so I shortened it.
 
@ benzyme, i have never tried this, is it hot? i have read we should only eat cayenne, something about there makeup, but i am no professor professional.

@ Aegle, yeah i understand :) plants have such a pure giving nature, i was just giving you shit :)

@kaleidoscope, i dont believe its the tryptophan itself, i think its the seretonin in the end, because that is what makes you dreams better, i think its just the fact that its a natural precusor for it.
and great song, even greater artists :) your name works perfectly shortened too because of you picture right below it which is "The girl" ... idk its perfect

love.

serotonin is only half the equation. dopamine is also depleted
milk is a more complete remedy. has both tryptophan and tyrosine.

love.

serotonin has little, if anything, to do with dreaming. it's more of a mood-enhancer and precursor to melatonin, the circadian clock regulator.

i took 500mg tryptophan last night, and didn't have any vivid dreams.

acetylcholine and glycine are the responsible parties in REM sleep.
if you want really lucid dreams, take DMAE.

Do you have any experience with DMAE?

Found this thread on the subject of DMAE
