Why are people with ADHD prescribed Stimulants like Adderral?

February 2, 2022

ADHD isn’t a matter of having too much energy – it’s actually the opposite. ADHD brains are actually sluggish and unable to stay locked on.

What happens is that psychological arousal – the ability for the brain to register something as important and interesting that it needs to pay attention to – needs a lot more stimulation in ADHD people.

Why Is Exercise That Increases Heart Rate Considered Good, But Narcotics That Increase Heart Rate Considered Bad?

August 20, 2021

Narcotics like cocaine and meth increase the heart rate, as they cause a sympathetic surge (adrenaline rush).

It not only causes an increased heart rate but it can cause your coronary arteries (the blood vessels to your heart) to constrict (squeeze), resulting in heart attacks due to not enough blood and oxygen getting to the cardiac tissue.

Additionally, cocaine has been shown to accelerate the process of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up inside arteries) which can lead to heart attacks as well.

In other words, you can make your 20 year old arteries look like those of a 60 year old.

Plastic In The Microwave, Is There Really Any Danger To It?

May 17, 2021

plastic in microwave

The majority of plastics can withstand microwave radiation and won’t break down nor melt. If you are buying commercial products, you might be able to find “microwave safe” symbols on them, which I think look like three squigly lines. Essentially, if you’re buying plastics that look like they were designed for storing food, then they are microwave safe.

Generally, for a plastic to be safe in a microwave it can’t react with the food, leach out components in the food, or decompose. A lot of storage containers such as plastic butter containers, sour cream containers, etc., can either melt or decompose. This also includes water bottles- don’t reheat water bottles if you want to be safe. Also, plastic bags from the grocery store should not be placed in the microwave.

What’s It Like To Die And Come Back To Life?

February 25, 2021

whats it like to die and come back

About 6 years ago my friend and I were on our way to pick up another friend from work at around 10pm. He was the driver and I was the passenger. We approach the intersection of my friends work traveling about 55mph (88kph) and as we’re entering the intersection a girl on her phone ran the red light at about 70mph (113kph) and we T-boned her. My seatbelt ripped the buckle from its housing and I went through the windshield.

What Is Intermittent Fasting

February 10, 2021

intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is simply eating within certain windows of time. It is NOT starving yourself like some people think. At one point I was doing an 18 hour fast with the 6 hour eating period. With the way my schedule was at the time, I would start my first meal around 11am and stop around 6pm or so (depended on the day). Like most people, I hated going to sleep hungry so I pushed my window further into the day because I could tolerate being hungry in the morning but I could not tolerate it while trying to sleep. Like some other people have already stated, your body WILL adjust and every day it becomes easier and easier.
