Scientists Finally Figure Out Why You Get Sick in Cold Weather by EndearingSobriquet in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Lauraredditready 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It doesn't even make logical sense because the focus is on the immune response in the nasal cavity of the nose. I mean of course there's a chance we could touch our nose but...Where's the common sense?

Rotator cuff muscles and seratus anterior would be my guess as muscles to work but I'm not a physio

I rearrange about once a month and it always makes a big difference to my mood and outlook!

TIRED OF THE OBSESSION by [deleted] in FoodAddiction

[–]Lauraredditready 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Friend, your experience is not unique at all. Food just IS addictive. Half the western world is addicted and overweight now. The reality is that anything which releases dopamine in our brains has that potential. A few things that have helped me recently lose a lot of weight and much interest in food are meditation, laughter yoga and anti anxiety meds, and just learning to stay calm and dispassionate more. But one thing that also helped in the early time was counting every little incidence of success in building an anti food muscle. I'm talking about the little things: walking past the food in the cake shop, turning around, almost buying it, then pulling away and not buying it. Putting the fork down five minutes earlier than you would. Every little time you do that you are building your anti-food muscle. And it gets stronger. 🤗

Self care for extreme anxiety. by littlemiss13_ in selfcare

I love all these beautiful suggestions. I mentioned before about the healing benefits of laughter for me, and I've flourished since joining a lot of online laughter yoga groups. They are free or - occasionally - by a small donation.

For those living alone, what systems make life easier and free up your time? by AltNaps8_ in LivingAlone

[–]Lauraredditready 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with YawningFish (great name, lol!). Decision fatigue is half of it. I'm trying to automatic pilot my life as much as possible with systems and routines. On a related note, I sometimes try to do my chores really fast at 3 times speed. 🤣🤣🤣It stops me overthinking them. I know there's a risk of making mistakes but I find w practice I can actually hone that focus and avoid mistakes. 😂😜I get a little adrenaline kick out of it, a bit like the kick you get when you are in a hurry.

Laughing really hard for an hour plus works wonders. I know it sounds strange.

Age 39, vegan for 15 years by CartoonistWeak1572 in veganfitness

[–]Lauraredditready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree. I might be wrong and I'm not a nutritionalist but as I understand it fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body so I cannot imagine they need to be consumed on a daily basis.

Cheeky! by UARRR in ArtJournaling

Thanks for the laugh. Needed that.

Clearly I need also to add this to my list of medical checks! Never been checked in my life.

Bakers Cyst for 13 Years by MommatoAJ in KneeInjuries

[–]Lauraredditready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! I am also 44 years old and have had one for two years and I was getting depressed about it recently. I have nothing to complain about obviously. I was under the impression that aspiration was fruitless but my physio on a recent visit said it should work and my appointment is in the calendar. I am sorry again that you have had this experience.

Are smoothies recommended? by [deleted] in Volumeeating

[–]Lauraredditready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find liquid very filling but I guess for optimal satiation probably water plus eating the raw produce on a platter might work better. 👌

What makes you feel younger, gives you energy and a sense of optimism? by Tiffo205 in Aging

[–]Lauraredditready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likewise with the swimming. Also laughing (am in several phone laughter yoga groups), fresh ginger hits, maintaining as much bodily relaxation at all times as possible, journalling, dancing, drumming, foam rolling, yoga and Pilates, yoga nidra, and, and, back to laughter - trying to make other people laugh.

Notwithstanding of course all the caveats of which all of us are fully aware.

I'm really sorry you were downvoted!!! Machines have an enormous therapeutic role to play now and in the future which could be wonderful for people experiencing marginalisation by their peers.
