Ubiquitous in western life and now found worldwide, bread is the food of modernity and whete modernity is found so too is a host of health issues which simply did not exist throughout history.

Whether it is diabetes, heart disease, liver failure, or simply obesity and all its associated afflictions a clear direct link can be establish between it and bread.

High in calories and devoid of meaningful nutrition beyond that, bread is the original ultra processed food. Despite sharing almost the exact same lifestyle and all our modern comforts the developed nations of Asia do not face these same issues to even half the degree their Western counterparts do. Why? Simple: bread.

True, bread served as a cheap, easily storable food that allowed for population grown and imperial expansions. It kept slaves, later peasants, and now wageslaves, just alive enough to labor on while their masters enjoyed real food (meat)

>no shit, I already said it adapts to diet)
No shit but what do you think the changes are? Good bacteria like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli tend to decrease. Harmful bacteria, including enteric E. coli, tend to increase. Just because the gut adapts to the diet doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Now you have inflammation in the gut.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5701709/
Here's another study on anemic children. Sure it helps at first but above the ages of 6 months most of it is shat away. The kids also had more diarrhea. Why? Because harmful bacteria is more likely to grow in your stomach. Iron supplements in general can cause gut issues. You're better off actually eating animal products.
>Glosses over the part where fertilizer fixes any so called soil depletion's effect on the final product.
Ok if there's fertiliser why is our food still a lot more nutritionless than a century ago? Do they even use enough? Answer me that.
>Obesity is up largely because restaurant food is so cheap.
>Nobody ate out 6+ meals a week 30, 40 years ago
True, eating out is now common, portions grew a ton. But it's not just that, nowadays people are grazing on high-calorie ultra processed snacks, a ton of addictive packaged food, sugary drinks, etc. Also people are way more sedentary now. More screen time, less walking, more cars, more desk jobs, more stress, less sleep. It's not just about portions, it's also the influx of sugary and slop everywhere.
>but portions were more controlled because Momma had to actually slave at that stove all afternoon to make it happen.
Yes true.

On that basis, skill is less important. So hypothetically if you were higher skill and strong enough you'd entirely outclass them. It's why lifelong martial artists have a distinct edge. They've had to compete against stronger and more experienced opponents, having had to learn without brute strength.

Watching Tom Platz has inspired me to squat deep and heavy. I've only started recently and I only squat about 85 lbs for 10 reps but I want to make sure my technique is correct and I don't injure myself.

>rest barbell on traps
>toes shoulder width apart, flared slightly outward
>I use squat wedges because of poor ankle mobility
>Go ass to the grass
>try to keep back as straight as possible and lean forward as little as possible

The last point is a problem for me. I was squatting the other day and felt myself fall backwards. So I quickly behind-the-neck pressed the barbell up and dropped it on the safety rack. In the process I kind of hurt the back of my head but thankfully it's nothing more than a bruise.

My question is how do I ensure safety? I don't want arm, shoulder, neck, back etc injuries. I've seen injuries that result in paralysis and even death. Although at this light weight anything is unlikely to happen, I still want to squat properly from the get-go. Also, how do I bail safely? I understand how to bail forward safely (dropping the weight behind you and lunging forward) but how do I bail safely when I'm falling backward?

Any other tips and tricks are also appreciated, thanks.

idk wtf is wrong with people no matter how delicious it is (it's mid) it isn't worth feeling like death

if you want good gut health then eat a lot of fibre and probiotics as well as staying hydrated
those are really the main things but secondary to that is avoiding fried foods, processed foods, excessively sweet or salty foods, and caffeine
tertiary to that is just general micro and macro stuff like don't eat crazy amounts of protein and remember to eat fruit and vegetables
green tea helps my stomach a lot but sometimes it can make me a little gassy until i shit and get out whatever was upsetting it

Holy fuck kratom withdrawals are fucking gay.

I'm trying to taper from 2 grams per day. Down to around 45 the last couple days. Will cut down today. I have to get off before I go to France in July where its illegal.


Taper tricks? Supplements? Sr17018 source? I can't find it at a reasonable price anywhere...

I managed to stop drinking 2L of 10% beer daily with kratom in January 2025. I was on 10-12g of kratom everyday from then to early December and tapered to 5g then just quit. I think I was on 5g daily with some days going back a little above if it meant curbing alcohol cravings. I had difficulty falling asleep so I had to take a lot of melatonin and generally woke up 3-4 hours later with no chance of falling back asleep. I did not have anything close to restless limb. It kind of helped me to plateau at 5g for a few extra weeks to quit. I also affirmed quite often and out loud that kratom is bad, useless and that it only hinders me. I named everything about about it: poor memory, poor sleep, inflammation, chronic dependence (I went on vacation and I had to drink everyday to not have withdrawal) and it gives you horrendous shits (no clue how u don't have compacted shit all through ur colon). Good luck again !

>>77058322
> like 10 days pretty acute then 60-90 days of PAWS
total bs. I've quit cold turkey twice after being on it for about a year each time and went clean after that for about a year each also and after 7 to 8 days it was over. No "the real withdrawals happen after months actually bro!"
>>
>>77059890
>but I DID eat breakfast
Not everyone gets PAWS. Some lucky few are able to even just drop months of straight high dose kratom, phenibut, or benzos and literally feel nothing. Congrats on winning that dice roll. That's why the best bet is to taper so most people don't take that chance. Paws is tied to the intensity of acute withdrawal, so avoiding any acute withdrawal is a no brainer

Thanks anon. Its easy to be aggressive initially because of how much I was taking. But those last miles scare me. I am continuing with my taper but also looking into sr17018 for hopping off at the end.

Greetings fellers,
I've started lifting seriously for the first time since a few days ago. I've been going every day, but ever since the muscle ache started I noticed that my joints started hurting as well. More than the muscles, especially focused on the tendons. What does this mean? Do I need to rest more or just keep going? For example, I had triceps yesterday, but during chest today I felt more pain in tendons than muscles in arms.

Tendon issues usually appear after damage has accumulated, usually not from pretty much the start. Make sure that you're warming up thoroughly and using good form. Beyond that, you may have to teach yourself a lot about tendon health and longetivity, giving your relatively advanced age.

>>77059537
muscle soreness is fine. tendon pain is probably because you're using weight that's too heavy for your tendons to handle. if you used to be physically active before then your muscles can outpace your tendons and take you to snap city. just try to ramp up slowly and if you still feel pain worsening then describe it to AI and ask how to treat it.

>>77060140
I was honestly playing around with weights to see what was for my level. I maintained around 10-15 reps over 3 sets on various equipment, but had to shift weights up or down a lot. What you describe makes a lot of sense. Thanks man.

Is there a single sport or exercise that women are genuinely better than men at, all else equal?

Don't they have superior flexibility and power/weight ratio? I would assume perhaps something like rock climbing/bouldering a woman might beat an equally trained man.

>Male ballet dancers are needed for their strength to lift and move the women around
Nobody watches ballet for the men, its an entire sport designed around women and you even outlined how in your response, the men are just extensions to emphasise the female grace whilst in the air.
Its high society cheerleading, yes the jocks are tossing the girls up but no one watches cheerleading to look at the dude throwing girls up

So i think my answer stands, in regards to doing ballet and all it entails, the chicks are the centrepiece and are "better than" the men

On average, maybe, but sports aren't about averages, they select for the best

Good call and yes the gap between men & women is closer here, but still no
Despite light weight being obviously a massive advantage, women aren't strong enough
