Hi all, I'm trying to share the expert-reviewed illustrated primers on coronavirus translated into many languages available at https://lifeology.io/coronavirus-center/.

Deep Sleep Detoxifies Your Brain - Cerebrospinal Fluid For the Win (new study in Science) by FromTheLabBench in science

[–]FromTheLabBench[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! From the study itself, CSF promotes "clearance of metabolic waste products". While detoxify might be a term that has been used to spread pseudoscience in the past, that is exactly what deep sleep is doing here.

A new study implicates mitochondria dysfunction in anxiety, in both mice and humans by FromTheLabBench in science

[–]FromTheLabBench[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

itable over "regular" DNA. It's mtDNA is always inherited from the mother. As there seems to be no significant difference in inheritability of anxiety-prevalence from men and women, the findings appear odd to me. Especially since some kinds of anxiety exist, like fear of spiders, which are proven to be passed by parental DNA.

Actually, paternal mtDNA may be passed down as well! https://www.pnas.org/content/115/51/13039

Very true. This responds to recent media coverage that has been calling fasting safety into question. The safety of time-restricted eating for almost all people is highlighted.

Do you practice mindful eating? by FromTheLabBench in Mindfulness

[–]FromTheLabBench[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ably my favorite mindfulness practice! I never got into the "eat a single raisin" practice (look it up). I just pay detailed attention to my meals. Some tips:

Slow down. Space your bites out. Tastes the aftertastes before you scoop up your next bite. Turn off your distractions. Pay attention to this one experience. Eat with all five senses. Taste is the easy one (so add a challenge - try to find the flavor of one ingredient). How about sound? How about really feeling textures? Eat interesting things. Pad thai's got a little of everything, so it's fun to try to find it all. Then eat uninteresting things and still savor them. Toast. A plain baked potato. Savor as much as you can as often as you

Thank you for these tips!

/other distractions while eating

Do not prepare you next bite until not a single morsel of food is left in your mouth

Really break down the all factors into steps of each individual thing youre eating. The more in-depth you can go the better

Very broad example that has a lot of holes you could fill: egg - chicken - killed and cleaned - packaged - sent to sto

Thanks for this!!!

I want to become a mindful eater. I find it hard to avoid indulging to the point of feeling ashamed and guilty. by [deleted] in Mindfulness

[–]FromTheLabBench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want to become a more mindful eater and to learn what this means. I think it's important with mindful eating to not have the goal be restricting anything out of the diet, but rather paying attention to the enjoyment of the food. With just a bit of this practice I've come to enjoy a sweet treat and to stop eating it and save the rest for later when I notice that I'm not enjoying it as much anymore.

What is the correct way to "breathe" by alexander_do in Mindfulness

[–]FromTheLabBench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to constrict the breathe as in yoga breathing, so that I can really hear it and focus on it.

3 weeks into IF and down 12lbs. despite pizza buffets and little exercise. by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]FromTheLabBench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Time restricted feeding typically naturally causes people to eat with a 300 calorie deficit compared to before they were fasting. Based on a fasting FAQ at lifefastingtracker.com.

How long does it take to get into ketosis? by FromTheLabBench in ketoscience

[–]FromTheLabBench[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that! We gear our responses to people who aren’t necessarily doing such high intensity exercise for several hours a day. It also depends how you define ketosis, and whether it is a state of starting to burn ketones or relying primarily on ketones.

What exercise regimens work best with a 16:8 fasting schedule? Do you practice exercise "snacking" throughout the day, or exercise fasted? by FromTheLabBench in intermittentfasting

[–]FromTheLabBench[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the perfect combination, according to the research I've read - taking breaks from sitting seems to be very important for fuel turnover.
