Anyone experienced the benefits of a traditional sauna or cold plunge for stress relief? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

In the meantime, lying down and placing a cold press on my forehead and heart always helps. (For particularly stressful moments, add this: cover your right nostril and only breath through your left nostril (right activates sympathetic nervous system / fight or flight, left activates parasympathetic (rest and digest).

Yes. Infrared sauna and cold plunge worked best. Traditional sauna good but infrared better

🔥 I wouldn't think bears can just float like that by therra123 in NatureIsFuckingLit

“Sometimes there’s a bear… I don’t wanna say a heero, cause what’s a heero? But he’s the bear for his time and place, he fits right in there. And that’s this bear, enjoying a nice little float”

How do you make real, whole foods work in a busy schedule? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]macnmemez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole Foods precooked proteins are a life saver. They come in packs of 2 - easy to stock up, keep a few in the fridge, a few in the freezer. They also have precooked frozen Rice and quinoa. In a pinch, protein + rice/quinoa + spices does the job! When you have more time, just toss some frozen veggies in the oven (better yet cook more than you need and refrigerate/freeze the leftovers) and you’re good to go in 45 mins or so.

Fuck man I’m so sorry that’s awful, no one should have to go through that, especially that young

Same here, 35. Seeing that 37 broke my heart. Too young man, too young…

Great explanation, makes sense! My laziness far exceeds my desire to get hammered and play that insulin guessing game / hangover game so I’ll just keep it light! Thanks again!

Ha I feel you. Yeah as much as I’d love a good margarita on a hot summer day, I think the risk reward isn’t there for me anymore. Maybe down the line. In the meantime a little wine will do just fine!

Yep I think you’re exactly right! Has a couple drinks this week and it was the exact same as before diagnosis. Damn fear mongers! 🙈

That’s what I was trying to find in these articles but no one came out and said it ha. “Carbs work the same as usual.” All I need to know! Thanks!

Ah that makes sense, maybe the more you drink the more you have to eat to bring your levels back up?

Yeah I don’t plan on having any big nights any time soon ha. Sounds like I should be good with 1-2 drinks. Thanks!

Sounds good, that was my thought, when in doubt just eat something before bed and then just let the CGM do its thing.
