Let’s just all live the #WholePlantBased 🌱 lifestyle 🤗 or at least work towards it. That way you can free yourself from #TransFats worries & you’ll give your body the nutrients to stay healthy & avoid cultivating #LifestyleDiseases

Just played around with this #Ai for creatives to build workflows on a canvas with access to all major AI models for image, video, & 3D model generation. Pretty intuitive with its #MindMap style workflow connections. Ran out of free credits pretty fast though.

It’s mango 🥭 season 🕺 & a great opportunity to flash freeze some Mahachanok mangos … one of the most delicious, fragrant, & fiberless varieties in #Thailand, originating from #ChiangMai. Support #LocalFarmers to avoid forking over 400% markup I saw the local supermarket charging.

The benefits of #Ai run organizations needs to serve #Humanity but I fear that it will increase the have & the have-nots, enriching the few & furthering extreme #Classism. Will freeing ourselves from required labor allow us to pursue shared #Flourishing & individual #SelfActualization? maybe 🤞

#Inflammation markers can double within 6h of consuming a pro-inflammatory meal filled with meat 🥩 eggs 🥚 dairy 🧀 oil, sugar, & refined carbohydrates 🍩 by triggering rapid inflammatory spikes that boost #ChronicDisease risk. Even purified extracts or isolated antioxidant supplements show no benefit.

We need to study both the effects of the bioaccumulation of microplastic in human bodies as well as how it gets into us. If I did the extrapolated math correctly this study shows that dementia patients have about ~35.2g of microplastic in their brains 🧠 while non-dementia patients have ~6.6g.
