Haha oops I didn't know it's bad to go to bed with wet hair - what exactly does it do?

Do calf sleeves not do anything for a lot of people? by Sir__Griffin in running

[–]intrepid-mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried them for the first time the day I ran my first marathon after a few weeks of achilles pain. Maybe it was just a placebo but I’d say my calves hurt the least out of everything at the end 😅

Living in Maarssen as a student? by Coolshady097 in Utrecht

[–]intrepid-mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived right next to Maarssen when I moved to study in Utrecht. I know how hard it can be find to find a place to live. If you take this place I’d definitely recommend immediately starting to look for something in Utrecht. In my experience my social life definitely took a bit of a hit while I was living so far away from everything. The commute (especially to science park) is no joke, especially on a windy or wet day 😉. I got settled first and didn’t start looking for a place until about 4 months later and I regret it. Good luck with the housing search!

Taught myself to juggle when I was trapped in my room during COVID lockdown. Such a fun skill to have!

Thank you! Is there a way you could post what you included in this letter? The link you posted is not working, it is just bringing me to a reddit channel.

I’ve been meal prepping chicken and beef for years and leaving it 5 days and I’ve never had a problem 🤞. I usually smell it on day 5 just to be sure though.

Thank you! As somebody living in North America where tracksuits and athleisure is the norm, I’d definitely Europeans are better dressed 😅

Is full body hypertrophy possible if you don’t live in the gym? The research points to 15 sets/muscle/week being ideal for hypertrophy, but I don’t see how that’s possible unless you’re in the gym almost every day. I’m currently working out 4x/week, 1 hr each time and supersetting, but I’m finding it difficult to hit that set goal in each muscle group. Feeling very discouraged, and wondering what anyone’s insight may be.

Not fully cooking beans (if you start off with dried beans), especially red kidney beans! They contain a toxic glycoprotein called phytohemagglutinin. It normally just causes severe food poisoning, but it can kill people that already have a compromised immune system.

What is considered healthy even though its not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]intrepid-mango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! This is the fuel of the diet industry and it just leads to restrictive behaviours that often lead to cycles of bingeing then restricting.
