3:59 am	Where people choose to stop learning and adapting is where the earth begins to turn. It's only a compensation. Where we differentiate ourselves from our external environment. Where we no longer see our being impressed upon what we believe contains nothing of our essence. We fight to distinguish what makes us American or superior or human or inferior. They are all things to which we have experienced with variable magnitude. Each is no different from anything we can perceive with eyes closed or open, figuratively or literally. Until we have exhausted our energy, crude and refined, we are fighting, physical and mentally, to be misunderstood. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:09 pm	what if some mental "disorders" are really the evolution of the brain? The brain, in terms of evolution, is an organ that not even needed to procreate. Therefore, it must be feasible that its affinity towards certain behaviors should be no less common than other behaviors which might promote destruction of creativity. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:00 am	Of the ideas floating around in my head, which are most often directed towards preservation of life and perception, I have come across the topic of communication between a speaker and his audience. Many people will say that they feel like no one is listening to them. Some people think that they think they can take on the world. It is more likely that you'll hear a person say that no one is listening rather than say that they have everyone's attention and that everyone is listening to them. The latter belief is not spoken by the speaker in focus but more often by his audience. He is perceived like that more often than he speaks it himself. A judgement that the whole world is listening to him is a threat to his credibility; the audience as a whole is aware that they belong to a group. This ties the speaker to the understanding of his audience. If they accept that this group is not the whole of the world, they must also accept that his idea of his world is completely different from theirs. This can cause estrangement between the audience and his speaker and failure to be effective in his articulation of his topic. I'm curious as to the physiological changes that can be observed in bodies (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:07 pm	Your mental state is a direct result of your physiological state Your mental state at a time of emotional stress is a direct result of your physiological state prior to the stress Your physiological state during the next time of physiological or emotional stress is dependent on the combination of your physiological and emotional state previously recorded. your ability to heal from emotional stress is dependent on your physiological state. Improper healing of emotional stress or physiological stress will affect stress on both systems. it's mind/body ________________ you need not be patient if you've got no time you need not be humble if you've got no pride (Comment on this)

2:27 am	profile i need nothing but to understand i understand how to understand better when i read Spinoza my physical brain allows my mind to understand faster, easier, and with greater magnitude when i physically eat foods good for me -water -sunlight (15 min a day) -b complex -multivitamin -vitamin storage mediums (mono unsat fats and animal fats in particular for D A K E and low carb liquids and vegetables for B complex vit. C, etc) -as little carbs as possible (carbs control CNS, ego) -good proteins (soy, fish, chicken, eggs) it is understood that I will have a harder or easier time understanding than others will, depending on the magnitude of their stress (emotional, physical), which is due to lesser or greater understanding of the importance of a body most capable of understanding. This only causes me to expand my levels of understanding and dissolve a level of understanding previously less complete Eat meat Carbs kill These satements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or ailment. Common irrational wisdom would lead us to believe that doctors, who are dependent upon pharmaceutical companies for perks, are the only things that can diagnose a problem. Also, we would be led to believe that the only way to treat "dis-ease," whether it be emotional or physical in nature, is with drugs. And lastly, why would any rational person believe that something in nature, existing in a non-man-made state, can "cure", heal, or improve health? (Comment on this)

11:38 am	I am constantly and severely underestimated. It seems that the ability for many to pickup on my "naivety" is far greater than there ability to remove naivety from the way that they evaluated people. I think this is a result of mindlessness that I possess. For the most part, I am able to explain every single thing that has ever happened in my life. Interestingly enough, it has come accurately without the use of much literature. This unforunately puts my ego in a predicament, as most would assumed I've attained the knowledge I have from exposing myself to media, I have contrastingly looked inward for my innate logic centers. Although it is some comfort that my abilities will be recognized, it may come in the form of my ability to retain and sort out large amounts of literature, rather than being able to induce from a small stimuli. The desire to be recognized once was much greater, as it would seem a necessity to extend a habitual existence. But the induction and assimilation of mind and media has shown my worth, and has allowed me to control this desire itself. Rationally speaking, this desire, of any great magnitude would play more the role of a hindrance than an effective tool in creating motivation to learn more, scientifically, or socially. I should not feel underestimated, which is the expression of my ego. Focusing on this emotion, primally, that of sadness or futility, and its expression to others, only hinders my ability to spread beneficial information because I may feel its more important to express my sadness than to speak out of my necessity to educate. This is really the root of the human condition and selfishness. Once we can isolate and make ourselves aware of this, the ability to analyze it and surpass it becomes more possible. This in turn allows you to reach greater truths than temporary emotions, by which all people can connect on a higher and more universal level. (Comment on this)

7:03 pm	shhh Avocado is one of the only fruits that contain unsaturated fat. Thats the good shit. That good shit helps you to store more fat soluble vitamins, including vitamin A, K, E, and vitamin D, which is believed to be the vitamin the U.S. population is most deficient in. I'm not trying to save the world, just a couple bucks on your cover up creams and antiaging bullshit; maybe improve your cardiovascular health which translates into better overall health and healing. In conclusion, you must look at the body like a baseball glove, or perhaps a pair of fine leather chaps. To keep them conditioned, you must rub oil on them. This oil must be in the liquid form, like unsaturated fats. This liquid form provides ample absorption into the epithelial and connective tissues of the body as it does the epithelial tissues of the cow that "donated" the leather. With the ability for these vitamins (D,A,K,E) to be stored in this fat that's absorbed into your tissues, you're basically preserving your body's totipotency and ability to adapt to uncontrollable environmental conditions (i.e. stress (i.e. sun, other physical stress (cuts, scrapes, broken bones, etc.) and emotional stress (blah blah whine whine ))), and handle them as best your body can. When you're able to virtually transcend this "suffering," you're able to focus energy, which was formally used, and scattered,to compensate for the lack of vitamins and good fats that you're eating, on helping and healing yourself and others. This is why good nutrition is important. In this way, good nutrition allows you to focus on controllable environmental variables/ remembering to eat well which will further your ability to focus, rather than using it to complain about how you feel/look like shit. The mind is a terrible thing to waste and the alaskan roll (sushi) contains avocado, cucumbers, and salmon. Good nutrition is not a diet. Diets most often are unbalanced and effective at losing weight, which does good for relieving stress you put on your body to pump blood (lower blood pressure), but does not give you the health and healing you can achieve when you eat nutritious foods. You do not unlock your body's potential to integrate itself into a reality perceivable to someone who is nutritionally sufficient or even excessive. The limits of nutritional deficiencies have been discovered, the ultimate outcome is death, but humans have not reached and may never reach the full potential of their minds and bodies. Nutrition is like breaking the codes of the body and expanding the world in which malnourished brains and minds have left prior impressions and limits to what human thought can create and perceive.

2:54 pm	spinoza After experience had taught me that all the usual surroundings of social life are vain and futile; seeing that none of hte objects of my fears contained in themselves anything either good of bad, except in so far as the mind is affected by them, I finally resolved to inquire whether there might be some real good having power to communicate itself, which would affect the mind singly, to the exlcusion of all else: whether, in fact, there might be anything of which the discovery and attainment would enable me to enjoy continuous, supreme, and unending happiness.

8:04 pm	The Glycemic Index (rough) ask questions The glycemic index serves as a relative indicator of how carbohydrate containing food affects the blood glucose levels in human beings. It is an analysis of the glycemic response, or spike in blood sugar in resulting from a standard amount of varying carbohydrate ingestion compared to the same amount of glucose carbohydrates. The percentage of total area under the blood glucose response curve for a specific carbohydrate containing food is then given a number according to its ability to raise blood glucose concentrations at a numbers percentage of glucose (McArdle 238). Although the glycemic index serves as an important tool in classifying the nature of specific carbohydrate containing foods, combining this data with serving size to reveal the glycemic load, which tells the glycemic effect of a normal portion of the food. There are over almost 1300 entries in the international database of foods with glycemic indexes available. They database classifies foods into a high-, medium-, and low- glycemic index ( McArdle 239). As continued interest allows for the exploration of the effects of these different types of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels, further success in health and concern for our diet will further contribute to the benefits of this study. Having command over the glycemic index provides a guide to better health. Athlete to Obese, the glycemic index can be integrated into a personalized program for each person to provide optimum conditions to reach long and short term goals (Lineback 128). Trained or non trained persons can reap the benefits of muscle hypertrophy with proper manipulation of the glycemic index. In subjects where the addition of lean body mass is required, specifically skeletal muscle, protein synthesis is key. We have now learned that there are more variables to maximize muscle hypertrophy (Suzuki 88). Timing of protein ingestion and contents of the meal have a noticeable impact on one’s ability to gain lean mass after exercise. Since exercise is important in both the maintenance and improvement of health, the addition of lean body mass and reduction of body fat can help prevent sarcopenia in aging subjects and hyperlipidemia in obese subjects (Suzuki.90). While exercising, net protein catabolism is noted and the rate of muscle protein synthesis is reduced. It is after the completion of exercise, during the recovery phase, where the body has the greatest ability to increase protein anabolism and protein synthesis. Although it is necessary to make ourselves aware of other glycogen recovery and factors affecting protein synthesis, the relationship that exists between exercise and insulin release is considered by exercise scientists to be very important. From this idea, it is easy to conclude that consumption of high glycemic index foods, known to stimulate insulin release, is critical in optimizing protein uptake (Suzuki 92). A study found in Nutrition Reviews, performed by Dr. Masashige Suzuki, helps to illustrate and support the importance of a high glycemic, high insulinogenic carbohydrate protein supplement. In an acute study with a bicycle ergometer, a supplement group fed immediately after exercise illustrated glucose uptake three times higher than the control as well as a 44% increase in whole body glucose utilization compared to taking it three hours later. Another point to note was the uptake of non essential and essential amino acids in the immediate group, and the opposite result occurring in the delayed administering of the supplement. The analysis of leg protein synthesis was three times higher in the supplement group and 12% higher in whole body protein synthesis, when compared to the non-supplement control group. With a positive correlation between glucose and protein data, it is safe to conclude that a high glycemic load with protein immediately after exercise helps to promote greater gains in muscle mass. One must consider the implications of this data in special populations such as older adults who are losing lean body mass, which also contributes to behaviors that support disease (sedentary lifestyle) and greater risk for accident related injuries. In the study performed on elderly subjects (mean age 74 +/-1), high glycemic load with protein supplement given immediately after exercise was the determining factor muscle hypertrophy and better results in both dynamic and isokinetic strength. Where insulin resistance is present, timing becomes an even more important factor and shows specificity in use of the glycemic index for promoting more active and healthier lifestyles (Lineback 127). Interestingly enough, prolonged hyperglycemia puts one more likely at risk for type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. Studies have also shown that there is a positive association between high glycemic loads and various cancers such as gastric, colorectal, and pancreatic. Less serious but perhaps as equally debilitating are the inflammation effects of high glycemic loads. More pronounced insulin surges are linked to increased production of free radicals and inflammatory C-Reactive Proteins. It seems that inflammation, seen in both diabetic and non-diabetics, shares a relationship with chronic hyperglycemic conditions in the body (Rakel 307). This emphasizes the timing and frequency of carbohydrate loading, and their respective glycemic indices and load and also asks the question of where the line between positive and negative effects of high GI foods can be found (Suzuki 92). The glycemic index has also been considered in the management of satiety and food intake and is believed to act as a means to suppress behavior that contributes to obesity. In the study performed by G. Harvey Anderson, subject data revealed that sources of food high on the glycemic index were more effective in suppressing appetite in the first hour after ingestion but foods lower in glycemic index showed better ability to suppress appetite in longer durations of six hours. The study does site that there is not consistent evidence that blood glucose levels are standard by which we evaluate satiety Lineback 132). Other chemical signal pathways occurring before and after ingestion, such as satiety peptides found in the GI tract. Another study presented in Pediatrics, which focused on preadolescent children revealed results very similar to the above stated study. The study cites other studies that indicate low GI foods can regulate weight by promoting satiety and promoting fat oxidation at the expense of carbohydrate oxidation (Warren 414). These conclusions were drawn from short term studies, single day and twelve weeks. The one day study lower satiety, increased hunger, and higher voluntary food intake when comparing high GI meals against low GI meals. The twelve week study showed better weight loss with low GI diets. The children in the focus of study examined the effect of food intake in normal and overweight preadolescent children (aged 9-12) and also allowed for undisturbed observation of nutrient uptake of foods after controlled GI index meals were administered for breakfast. Although the study found no statistical significance between the data of male and female, or normal weight and overweight, the study did find a statistical significance in breakfast type compared to lunch intake. There was lower lunch intake after low GI breakfasts when compared to a high GI breakfast, even though the lunch conditions were identical, which suggests that lunch intake was a spontaneous result most dependent on the breakfast consumed (Warren 418). In studies that consider satiety, all consider the possibility of other factors besides low and high GI foods. Although it is becoming apparent that low GI foods are better at satiating the subject and reducing uptake of foods consumed following low GI meals, it is important to realize the variability in GI values for foods. Different values are present in literature and in the processing and exact type of food compared. Sometimes preparation and time exposed to oxidation can create a largely variable GI index (McArdle 238). Also, foods with lower glycemic response may have more macronutrients, like fat and protein, which will slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream by slowing down the rate at which the food is traveling through the GI tract. Introducing these other molecules open up many other pathways that work in concert with the glycemic response to affect blood glucose levels, and could explain changes as well (Warren 418). With a better understanding, and greater knowledge of mechanisms of action in high GI index foods and their relationship with increasing rates of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, a change in the consumer diet seems apparent. The modern western diet is very high in caloric intake, but restricted in its nutrient content which presents many problems indigenous cultures never faced (Millburn 424). We are now discovering more and more that the western diet and knowledge of nutrition falls way short in its ability to promote health and disease free life. Of the current diet guidelines around the world, the Mediterranean diet is touted as one of the most effective in preventing heart disease and chronic degenerative disorders involving systemic inflammation (Rakel 306). This diet is, coincidentally, disciplined towards foods with lower glycemic indices, rich fruits and vegetables, and uses lots of lean meats and olive oil in preparation of meals (Rakel 307). In a study cited in the article, 3,000 men and women found that those who most strictly followed the Mediterranean diet had 20% lower C - reactive protein levels and 15% lower homocysteine levels, indicating lower atherosclerotic formations in vessels (Rakel 307). As of now, there is no broad U.S. or International Labeling system for the glycemic index. Due to the variability of foods the most effective way to label foods would be a specific case to case analysis of foods and their preparation to get a more accurate glycemic index. Further studies in this subject will certainly confirm or deny the healthful benefits of a lower glycemic index food choice (Ragnhild 84). Works Cited Anderson, Harvey G.
