who /health/ here? Gonna start dumping something I just finished writing up, based on at least a solid year of research and deep thinking.

Your body's feelings are what largely shape your subjective experience of reality. Your diet has a huge long-term impact on your entire body; therefore a good diet will literally positively change your reality for the better.

One thing to understand from health/diet is that your body is designed to repair itself. See: a hammer blow to the thumb - you injure your body and it repairs itself. Yet if you were to hit your thumb every day with a hammer it wouldn't get the chance to repair itself and would eventually end up in a bad, irreparable way. This analogy is what's going on with your body on a larger scale. Keep shovelling shit (bad food) into it and the ablility for it to repair things such as organs and prevent diseases manifesting will be highly reduced. The body systematically prioritises what it should repair first and puts off lower-priority things (non-immediate death-threatening) for when it has the energy for it (from a good diet).

Yea, please.

First thing's first: pay a lot of attention to your body at all times when it asks for it. It's been honed over many years of evolution to grab your attention, expect you to listen to it and respond accordingly. Pain is the body's attempt of getting you to listen to it and prevent further damage to it. That's the only purpose of pain and it will never happen at whim in any area of your body. Unfortunately, today's painkiller-culture goes entirely against this, so it will require an initial conscious effort and a change in attitude to your body to restore the relationship between pain and action.

Everyone's body chemistry is different and therefore their bodies react differently to certain foods. I strongly believe stomache aches especially and also other digestion-related pains are a sign that the food (or the food combination) you're feeding your body (even if it's considered healthy) is not what or how your body wants (it). In these situations, either some of the food in your stomach is blocking absorption of certain nutrition from other parts of the food, OR you're giving your body an imbalance of a certain nutrient or whatnot which will imbalance your body's system - both which will lead to systemic issues down the road which you'll really wish you prevented by listening to your body. I believe that just a few weeks or months of ignoring these signs alone will lead to diseases and chronic issues and which will never stop until addressed.

Aside from tastebuds also being one, there is some other mechanism built into your body around your throat area which will cause mild pain in certain situations to let you know you're having too much of something at once which will cause an adverse reaction (e.g. insulin spike). This is likely what the sickly feeling is when you eat a high-sugar food such as chocolate cake.

Fuck it, here goes.

The main things to follow:
>advice above
>cut processed foods hugely or entirely out of your diet
>anything natural is good and best for you unless your body reacts badly to it (see advice above)
>proper detoxifying (see 'detox')

Some very healthy stuff to consume on a daily basis (google for doses etc):
>coconut oil (the raw, organic, cold-pressed kind)
>butter (melt it on ALL your veg and meat, fucking delicious too)
>berries (blueberries are best)
>nuts (walnuts are the superfood one, but google "phytic acid" firstly)
>avocados
>all animal fats (whole eggs, bacon/sausage grease, duck fat, chicken skin, etc)
>dairy (cheese, full-fat milk (preferably raw/unpasturised), butter)
>english breakfast (eggs/bacon/sausage) is a good one
>seeds (again careful with the phytic acid)
>dark leafy greens = god-tier
>herbs and spices
>high-cocoa dark chocolate
>1-2+ grams of natural mineral-rich sea-salt (celtic is best and safest out of all I've researched; this alone can have a big positive impact on your health)
>dairy (cream)
>liver (extremely healthy but bad taste; can take dessicated liver supplements instead)
>MSM crystals supplement (sulphur) - essential to good health; soil is largely depleted of sulphur these days
>sweet potatoes
>juicing (see below)
>raw apple cider vinegar

Stuck for ideas? Think natural.

Eating nutritious food as well as good fats means you need to eat less since your body is satiated and fulfilled, so this type of diet isn't necessarily more expensive, plus you likely won't get any diseases in your lifetime if followed consistently.
>>
>>25098352
Myths BTFO:
>saturated fat is actually the best fat for you (most stable), then mono-saturated fat, then polyunsatured fat is the worst (cancer-causing)
>use vegetable oils with high saturated fat and low polyunsaturated fat, plus a high smoke-point to
>fat doesn't actually make you fat, excess carbs and excess calories do
>fruit doesn't actually spike insulin, eat that shit all day
>vegetables are great, add a fat to them (butter) to absorb more nutrition

Other stuff:
>traditional fats = best fats
>avoid added sugar
>inflammation, toxic overload and cell oxygen starvation is the root cause of pretty much all disease
>detoxification is very important since the dawn of the industrial revolution (chemicals everywhere) and awful-fucking-diet-"revolution" (see 'detox')
>bad diet can cause chronic depression, serious learning difficulties, anger problems, insomnia, ALL kinds of shitty stuff
>good diet + good detox = almost no diseases, ever
>excess carbs from added sugar = regular insulin spike = chronic inflammation = disease
>avoid fluoride if possible - use fluoride-free toothpaste; your dreams will feel like another life you've been missing out on for starters (plus there's a few significant health benefits)
>oily fish is great but read up on mecury-toxic fish before picking one or avoid it entirely
>table salt is poison and entirely unnatural, ditch it
>organic stuff is usually a waste of money because it's still grown with many carcinogenic natural chemicals
>heavy metal toxicity will fuck your body up big time; and you bet your ass you've got a lot in your body
>careful with heavy metal detoxification - it must be done gradually or you can end up killing yourself
>microwaves are dangerous and destroy food nutrition, avoid using them
>avoid hydrogenated fat (store-bought lard for example is garbage)
>avoid margarine like the plague (it's mostly polyunsaturated fat)
>>

Last one, enjoy. Keep the thread alive, spread the love, etc etc etc.

Detox:
Detoxification has become a money-making meme with all these mostly-useless supplements out there, but its foundations are still real and extremely useful. A proper detox is hugely beneficial and can be life-changing.
>best detox is the most natural
>juicing - get a juicer and do a no-food home-made juicing fast detox of about 5 500ml bottles of mostly-vegetable juice a day, drinking 250ml per hour at the most (to avoid your body wasting it), spread across the day; do this until your piss stops smelling like strong chemicals (its the toxins) and you start to feel fucking amazing; add small amount of extra virgin olive oil to each bottle for extra absorption of nutrients; keep the bottles chilled and google which veg and fruit to use
>maintenance juicing - 250-500ml or so of juice a day - drink it very fresh
>heavy metal detoxer - food-grade sodium/calcium bentonite clay (internal + external (bathing with it) use)
>activated charcoal powder (toxin remover)
>food-grade diatomaceous earth powder to kill parasites

Care to expand on this? Are we talking iodized or just added salt?

For what it's worth I agree with you, but the best food imo is grown in good soil, only way to be sure of this is to grow it yourself. Things not natural to your surroundings (eg. Coconut oil when you live in Massachusetts) are completely unnecessary.
>>
>>25098379
Detoxing is a bunch of nonsense.

The fact you actually believe this calls every other health claim into question. Calling polyunsaturated fats cancer causing is also total bullshit. There's no settled science on it with with several of studies showing it protects against developing cancer.

>Detoxing is a bunch of nonsense.

This. Your liver does it naturally. As long as you eat well regularly, there is no reason to "detox". You should make an overall trend of eating well a habit instead of eating really well for a short period of time.

Don't know 'em, no

You're both right about the detox stuff. However, with all the chemicals in food and the atmosphere and our bad diets, our detox systems are very weak. The detox concoctions I talk of are fast-track ways to getting your health back on track. You can of course just eat healthily, but doing things like the juicing above speeds it up VERY VERY rapidly, and it's very motivating and eye-opening and also important to do if your health is noticeably bad.

>Calling polyunsaturated fats cancer causing is also total bullshit
There's a body of evidence showing that they're biochemically unstable and harmful

>Care to expand on this? Are we talking iodized or just added salt?
Pretty much all commercial salt is bad processed shit. If it's pure white, its been heavily processed to strip all the many minerals out of it, leaving pretty much just sodium chloride left. The good stuff is grey or pink coloured.

>but the best food imo is grown in good soil, only way to be sure of this is to grow it yourself
I agree when it comes to fruit and veg, but animal food is important too.

>Things not natural to your surroundings (eg. Coconut oil when you live in Massachusetts) are completely unnecessary.
I don't necessarily agree with this.
>>
>>25099745
Sorry I was wrong when I said it causes cancer, what I meant was cardiovascular disease
>>
>>25099808
>I agree when it comes to fruit and veg, but animal food is important too.

Well the animals need to eat a diet of plant matter grown in good soil, which is becoming increasingly rare.
>>
>>25100210
True. But badly grown meat is still a lot better than no meat, since much of its nutrition either can't be found in plants or is not found nearly as abundantly.
