When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
Drink more water. Eat more fiber.
Man, I still eat like shit, but when I switched to drinking only water (instead of mainly soda/juice), I was easily able to lose the excess weight that had been building up.
No other changes. Just drink water. Only water. Water is good.
I keep a pitcher of cold, filtered water in the mini-fridge by my desk. That shit is delicious. And I don’t even miss anything. If you’re struggling with the switch to water, get yourself some good water.
To those consuming this, 100% try it. The first 3 or 4 days suck because your body expects calories with it’s drink and the buzz of sugar and caffeine. You can escape this by having a small chocolate with your water when you feel the craving.
Second point, mineral content, processing, temperature, and plumbing play a big role in your enjoyment. Personally I can’t drink cold water, it has to be room temperature and tap water here is too mineral heavy. Instead I refill 5 gallon water jugs and use a water crock.
Yeah if you like poop and pee
Go on…
“if”
yes. you need water more than calories and while the rule of threes is basically about calories with the three weeks if you don’t have fiber with those calories you will have a medical emergency on your hands. Granted though you can have to much water and fiber so its kinda a balance. I mean granted with water its more about to much water and not enough electrolytes.
Dude, what on Earth are you blabbering on about?
Hyponatremia . We called it hyponatriosis or ‘water-drunk’ in the army. We had a girl in our platoon over-hydrate and go floppy on a march, and my swear-to-god buck-oh-five bunkmate had to play crutch for the rest of it while we all redistroed all their collective gear. (calm your breathing: they marched in back with the medicos under obs the entire time, and we didn’t fail the little exercise we were on, and it was her choice to continue at every stage, and she was lauded for it afterward. This is a heroism story.)
water and fiber and the need for both in a diet but also that they can be overdosed.
