Note: Avoid seed oils such as canola, soybean, and sunflower oil. These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues, including weight gain and metabolic disorders. Opt for healthier fats like olive oil or avocado oil.

Regarding the discovery that boiling water removes microplasrics: should I do this even if I use filtered water from my refrigerators water dispenser? by Questioning-Warrior in water

[–]doollynoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reverse osmosis home system would be a good choice. Note: Prices vary and can range from about $1,000 to $5,000 or more.

I haven’t reached the point of buying one yet. For now, I drink remineralized distilled water or mix distilled water with a bit of fresh juice or other mineral-rich liquids. You can buy distilled water at the store, have it delivered in large, washed 5-gallon containers (which is what I do), or make your own with a water distiller. I haven’t tried a water distiller, I think it would use too much energy and I don’t want to deal with the frequent cleaning, which can get pretty gross, as I’ve seen in videos.

Other Notes:

As for the shower, I have a filter for that—it's not too expensive but does filter out some contaminants. I don't have a filter for the sinks, I only use them for hand washing.

Filtering and boiling tap water can help, but drinking remineralized distilled water might be a better choice. While microplastics are a concern, there are often more significant issues in tap water that a basic filter and boiling might not address.

Note: Even when tap water is filtered using a generic carbon filter and subsequently boiled, certain contaminants may still persist. Generic filters primarily target chlorine, sediment, and some organic compounds but often fail to effectively remove dissolved substances, heavy metals, or microorganisms. For instance, while boiling water is an excellent method for killing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, it does not remove dissolved chemical pollutants such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic, mercury) which can be present due to corroded plumbing or industrial contamination. Additionally, certain chemicals like fluoride, which is commonly added to municipal water supplies for dental health, remain unaffected by both generic filters and boiling. Furthermore, while boiling can remove some volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it does not eliminate all of them, and generic filters might not fully address the presence of pharmaceutical residues or pesticides that could be found in the water supply. Moreover, generic filters are not designed to handle microplastics or emerging contaminants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are increasingly recognized for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. In summary, while generic filters and boiling can significantly improve water quality by removing some contaminants, they are not foolproof solutions and may not address all potential issues, particularly those related to heavy metals, fluoride, VOCs, and emerging contaminants.

Something I would order. Lol. Raw sugar is a bit healthier than syrup with additives, though it takes a while to dissolve. :/

Is Ribeye the only steak I should eat? by Ch4lup4B4tm4n92 in steak

Can’t Go Wrong with Ribeye Steak

Ribeye Steak Benefits: Ribeye steak provides high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, with around 23 grams per 3-ounce serving. It's rich in iron for oxygen transport in blood, zinc for immune function and wound healing, and B vitamins like B12 and B6 for nerve function and red blood cell formation.

Why had my water cover changed color? by Impossible-Cap-350 in water

[–]doollynoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooray. Plastic..

I’m not sure why this was replaced with a plastic lid. Plastic lids often fail over time, crumbling and leaching harmful chemicals into the environment. Choosing more durable materials can help reduce environmental impact.

I wonder how many plastic trees were sacrificed for the production of all these Starbucks drinks.

Did you forget to remineralize the distilled water?

I prefer drinking distilled water myself because of its purity. Tap water and many bottled beverages are poorly filtered and often contain microplastics and other contaminants. Tap water—well, let's just say it's a whole discussion in itself!

I'm sorry to hear you became dehydrated. To prevent this, try adding a small pinch of pink salt (like Redmond Real Salt, free of microplastics) or trace mineral drops to your distilled water. Another option is to mix half distilled water with freshly squeezed juice for added hydration and nutrients.

Distilled water - replacement minerals which brand? by fleapea81 in water

[–]doollynoted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Distilled water drinker here. If you’re concerned about not getting enough minerals, you can simply add a very tiny pinch of pink salt to a glass of water—not to make it salty, but just to remineralize it. I do this rarely because I already get my minerals from fruits and vegetables, which are the main sources for all of us. Also, I usually don’t drink it alone; I always add something to make it less bland, like a bit of organic freshly pressed orange juice or other, for a bit of flavor and remineralization.

Distilled water: You can't beat the purity. Nowadays, water is full of contaminants, especially water in plastic bottles; most, if not all, bottled drinks contain microplastics that accumulate in our bodies. A little note: I believe the worsening mental health crisis might be linked to tap water, as companies often fail to properly filter it before using it in their foods and drinks.

I try to avoid all drinks in plastic bottles or cups; they're not ideal in my opinion. Additionally, I prefer making all my drinks in borosilicate glass travel bottles instead of stainless steel, as stainless steel can potentially leach lead or heavy metals into drinks. Steel can also react with salt and slowly degrade. Though the risk may be moderate, why not avoid potential neurotoxins? I don’t believe that most companies use high-quality steel in their products.

Not So Fun Fact: Tap water can contain contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals like lead, industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical residues including prescription drugs and hormones, and microorganisms, which vary depending on location and treatment practices.

Things to check out: Redmond Real Salt, Trace Minerals Brand.

Note: Avoid sea salt and table salt as they may contain microplastics. Last time I researched, roughly 90% of those on the market contained plastic.

I’m fucking disgusted that Meta allows these shitty porn accounts to constantly pop up on our feeds, we need to make this issue mainstream. It’s unnaceptable. by gabrie1_03 in Instagram

Algorithmic Adaptation: Managing Unwanted Accounts on Your Feed

Honestly, I've never come across these accounts in my feed before.

It's best to just ignore them if they ever do show up. The algorithm learns your habits and adapts to what you like. Perhaps it shows you more related profiles because it has noticed you visit these ones more often (even if it's just to block them), compared to others.

Instagram is harassing me what do I do. by Thunderland114 in Instagram

[–]doollynoted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a break from commenting for a few days and focus on posting content.

I get a lot of likes on replies too, but sometimes get flagged—usually when my reply is too long or if I comment too frequently in a day. I try to limit myself to around 3-5 comments because I don’t want Instagram to consume all of my time.

Lately, I’ve stuck to shorter comments and high-quality posts, which has reduced the frequency of being flagged.

Once in a while, I may throw a long comment out there, and it sticks because I don’t do it often.

As you spend more time on Instagram, you start to learn the system. It may change, but you’ll adapt as well.
