I Love Learning About How Our Bodies Tick

A personal story in the experience: I Am Reeaally Interested In Nutrition
I 'm fascinated about why we evolved the way we did, and about how the way we live now does or doesn't suit our bodies.

I love to feel good and I want to stay healthy as long as I can. One of the easiest ways to accomplish that is to understand nutrition.

One size definitely does not fit all with nutrition, as far as I can tell. For instance, my partner has the metabolism of a bird and does best if she eats a little bit every three or four hours. My metabolism is like molasses: if I eat lunch at noon, I'm not going to be hungry again much before 7.

I'd be interested in talking with people here about what you've figured out that works well over the long haul.

Wow, that's cool as hell. I've actually thought about that in a daydreaming kind of way. It's something huge we can all do for ourselves that we actually have control over and has lifelong consequences. (I mean eat well, that is, if we all became dieticians we'd have a hard time finding work...)

hehe, luckily most people aren't all that interested in it, i guess. they just want someone to tell them what to do, so they don't have to mess with it!

You know, you can speed your metabolism up by eating smaller portions every three hours! And building muscle is a good way as well. I love nutrition, too. I study the subject almost every day. It's so fascinating to me. I'd love to talk with people about it.

I think we have a quorum!

Using smaller meals to speed up the metabolism is very interesting - I'm going to experiment with that and report back to the committee.

actually, that does seem to be true. it keeps the body burning calories at a constant pace. waiting too long between meals causes the metabolism to become sluggish.

Yes nutrition I believe has a major impact on how we feel indeed. Like Sexual fruits for example are always good and interesting. I don't believe in Diets as they only tend to make me even hungrier and I eat more...taking diet tablets can be good I guess

I feel the same way. I'm beginning college in about two weeks and I defiantly know I want to do something in health but I'm not sure what I should be. What you stated defiantly puts in words how I feel.

Learn Chinese Medicine-based nutrition. Five Elements cycle and Zang-Fu organ relations pretty much explains epi-genetics, disease and emotional dispositions along with implying that {topological location creates culture}
[geography limits: weather, staple food breeds which all impart/guide quality of mental/emotional activity, perception of reality which in a population creates culture and tempers all of human experience....all these affect the nature of how the organs and thus mind act and evolve over generations. Location, location, location.] It's a little like coming to see all of physical reality as part of some electro-chemical machine that was set off at some point bilions of years ago, d/evolved into ever more complex and novel manifestations, and that now with this understanding of Chinese Medicine you can actually tamper with on a daily, human level without going to some cheek-swabbing scientist. Really empowering.
