I've been taking B6 supplements for the past few weeks and noticed a reduction in sleepiness as well as increased energy and improved mood. You almost have to take a specific B6 supplement which provides(100 mg)- 50X as much as a multivitamin or 20X as much as a B complex.

I read on the News today that 2-3 cups of coffee a day can help lower dementia risk. Good to hear that I may wake up enough to liven up my memory.

The Olympic Opening Ceremony. I guess it's so-so. Got kinda jaded on polysynchrocronous background dancers after Paula Abdul. It's a little more sophisticated, but . . . And Volarai, I thought that was a 70's car that lasted 5 years.

One of the reasons aging makes nutrition and diet more essential is that humans live almost twice as long as similar mammals. Things that a teenager could rocket through are essential to include in your diet when needed. - Your natural metabolism slows.

If the word delicious has no correspondence with anything you ate in the last few weeks you may be in a metabolic slump. -The cause is not always the same, sometimes its a nutrient deficiency and other times its the long term effects of a crappy diet. Probably best to approach it from all sides.

People talk about health a lot, but it's important just to learn what your body needs. For instance today I rounded out lunch with some cheese which is good because I hadn't eaten any meat today. For years people have gotten by on fast food and beef, which fills most blanks but not very healthy.

Canned fruit isn't such a bad deal. One reason is most people don't just pick up an apple and eat it, that's for Adam and Eve. Another is it's typically riper and lasts awhile. Plus, you can have like 15 types of fruit at your disposal. It's better for you in light syrup or just juice.

Trying to mellow out listening to some country music like Shania Twain and I feel like a nine year old girl. AI could easily produce lyrics, voice and instrumentation that exceed it in a matter of minutes. -So, I guess there's another side to the AI debate; Playing down to your audience is worse!

Finally got my Paul Klee calendar today.-Thought it was lost in the mail(international shipping). -So, according to Paul Klee, the year began in February.

Cooking lima beans. I hear adding some baking soda while cooking tends to make them less gassy by breaking down oligosaccharides, but I haven't any on hand. Guess I'll have to fart.

Personally I think using soy sauce may be better that salt, but Google's AI says neither. -There's all sorts of questions like that where you can't depend on AI to do in depth research and to that extent AI is making people stupid.

Wish there were more common News about the different types of sugar. There's fructose(corn sugar), sucrose(cane sugar), dextrose(sweet potato sugar) and then glucose in typical diets. I think fructose is the worst and I can feel my pancreas whenever I consume much of it, but others can be bad.

Local News doesn't check facts much. One local protester against ICE involvement was said to identify himself as Ted Kaczynski. That was the Unibomber; Well, ICE will never find him!

With the Grammys coming up I decided to listen to music. This time Bonnie Raitt, just to prove I'm a mellow guy despite usually listening to some pretty raucous music.

It's been a brutal spell, but not as bad as last Winter here. -If I can get through the next three days, the worst of Winter will have passed and I can start thinking about Spring, or the one and a half Months that are left of it!

The Media landscape is so large and fragmented these days. Music and movies are cheap, but by subscription, and the old Networks are littered with dramatized versions of normalized life which are niche shows. Streaming is cut like an apple pie. Walter Cronkite is dead, I can only assume.

I don't get eaten up by most of my posts receiving no likes or replies. Social Media has always been a funny enterprise and self magnification is a part of the game. If you're to believe what they say, most people want to continuously look at cat photos or think about Epstein every ten minutes.

Doing a stir fry because at least once a week I need a VEGETABLE INFUSION. -Like hooking up an IV from a tomato to my veins.

Baked a Cornish hen for the first time in many years-It was worth it! Ordinarily half of one would do, but I tore through the whole thing not leaving a scrap, not even the kidneys. -Definitely a break from standard chicken; It's juicy and has a little more fat.

Not a good local News day. A priest and a teacher of the year arrested for carnal knowledge of a juvenile in separate incidents. -You can't necessarily trust anyone these days.

I wish they would give you an hour window to edit your posts on Bluesky. -Sometimes I only catch mistakes just after posting and rewriting the post is a little too tedious.

I tend to think olives are better for you than the oil. Seeing how the people who complain about processed foods are the same ones who consume olive oil, I would think more people would agree.

Until this country comes to grips with subsisting by being mostly harmless we'll never solve most of our societal woes. Maybe you can't afford a car then, or have more than a room. Corporate America might as well throw half the people in the trash and that nothing that will change.

I have a blood pressure monitor, but I don't use it much. Funny thing is it stresses me out enough to raise my blood pressure. -I eat fish instead.

One of the latest improvements on my diet is I bake a lot of fish. Went almost 60 years without eating any fish except for the occasional tuna sandwich. Anyway, my cat won't even eat salmon. Guess the Purina One people know what they're doing!

Thinking about eco-friendly energy, I'm reminded of that Eighties hit song Electric Avenue. "We gonna walk Onto Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher" -I should make it my anthem.

Not into that stupid "Drill Baby, Drill" theory. The US should help fund Utility companies switching to Solar using US made panels and batteries. -That way, everybody wins and the US won't be left as a megalithic power twenty years from now.

Nature may not involve processed foods but it is natural that almost all foods degrade largely from bacterial decomposition. Most foods that are sold are almost entirely stripped of bacteria. -That's why it is very beneficial to take probiotic supplements which help with regularity and digestion.

Subscribed to YouTubetv for about 6 months. It was good because you could binge watch all your favorite Network shows like Matlock or even the Conners which ran 7 seasons. But after all you desperately want to watch, you're left with an $85/month bill which could pay for all your subscriptions.

I don't know how much you want to be into gold because there is much more of it in space than on Earth. -It's probably the cornerstone of interstellar communication. So, I guess you want to establish your brain on a Universal stance.

AI confidently handles subjects which have true, established answers, but it's a dunce at revealing more than people already think. I think that it will continue that way, because research isn't conducted computationally. Like the old acronym GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).

The Devil's Conscience??? If you're to believe the Bible, the Devil took Jesus up on a mountain and offered him dominion over all the land he could see. Also, the Devil is believed to be a fallen angel. Primarily, I see the Devil's problem is that he is loose with his adherents. -Otherwise good.

I haven't replaced my profile photo, but I'll try to take another by my 60th birthday, which is less than a month away. At least it'll do for personal reference. -I'm definitely not dead yet! I'm much better off than I was at age twenty.

Have Faith! Faith alone will not solve problems, but it may help you to dismiss worries or get you through troubled times. It doesn't necessarily matter what you rest it on but it seems like you can at least depend on a little Karma.

They say the best way to consume garlic is to just eat it or at least cook with freshly minced. Since many herbs and spices depend on aromatic chemicals to give them flavor and sometimes beneficial effects, you keep getting less the more you process. An herb garden may not be the worst idea.

Maybe your thoughts are worth only a penny, but I don't think anyone can afford to buy a dream.

I don't buy too much these days but I know what it means to be so fixated that you collect certain things or spend too much based on false hopes. I was one of those kids who read the ads in comic books that promised X-ray glasses or entire submarines for $6-Never owned a submarine!

One indelible stain on academic thinking is that you can't erase half a billion years of assisted evolution with 50 years of random analytics.

When you think about it the chicken industry is huge. Lot of people eat wings and breast meat goes into premium products but there's a loophole in the process. -You can often get lots of chicken thighs or legs for cheap at the grocery. Many prefer dark meat anyway and if you're on a budget . . .

Guess it personifies the situation in half of America right now but 2 hours ago my neighbor blew his transformer. -So, as far as I know, one of my neighbors and family may be freezing their collective asses off right now.

Not really sure exactly what the temperature is because I get it on my inaccurate Echo view, but it reached 19 degrees overnight which is very low for South Louisiana. Fortunately after doing without an HVAC for 5 years got a heat pump installed in October. -Didn't know I'd need it this much!

As you get older occasionally you get reminded of things you've been told before that end up making sense finally. One of those is the standard Doctors advice of "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning". Took some aspirin, its not exactly just a headache cure, it lifts you up some.

When I want to get real and see things that matter without too much time and effort, I watch shows on PBS Documentaries. It only runs about $5/month and there are many different themes; Historical, nature, cultural. It's about the first choice for information without the information overload.

Watching Tarzan The Fearless from 1933. What's blatantly evident is that biases continue to be present throughout all times and although you could consider it to be racist, Tarzan himself had no formal education and was raised by the apes. -You've got to keep an open perspective.

Watching Twilight for the first time, which shows how far I'm behind movies. On the plus side I can watch all the movies in succession, without having to wait two years in between films. That's also true with me and other blockbuster series.

Those who haven't touched the flames of Hell have no right to judge those who have. They're lucky enough to even have the right to speak about others, much less pass judgement.

Not that I don't like the music that I've grown up with but it's taken over my tastes and familiarity like a bunch of lichens on a tree. -I need an overview of music since about 2005, since there's no way I would just stumble into much.

Finally watching the movie Sinners. That sort of multigenerational multicultural dance trip scene is well done in a movie that might have just been seen as just a Southern historical drama.

Listening to the Audiobook "Sapiens" which I get a free one every Month that comes with my Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. I must be a bad student or I'm taking a clue from "Amazon" because all I can think of is whether I have access to a Tarzan Movie.-I'll look it up!

Probably one of the most oft quoted things in History but "There ain't nothin' like a fresh tomato". -It would be in the Oxford Quotation Dictionary except they don't know who exactly to attribute it to.
