I have a vitamin D deficiency. I already take a calcium + vitamin D supplement, it’s the height of the British summer (lol) and my vitamin D levels are still too low. My doctors advice is to eat lunch outside every day. Which would be fine if it wasn’t 15C and raining! I could really do with a 30second sun bed treatment every other week.
Similarly have seen sunbread suggestions as one way to try to treat eczema. Given a lot of eczema is caused by allergies to stuff in the air outside, just going outside can make it worse.
Edit: "sunbread suggestions" should be 'sunbed suggested". Sunbread probably won't do anything for eczema.
Years ago (maybe 20!) a boy I was at college with had sunbed treatments for acne. It did help but I don’t think they do that anymore. It’s roaccutane now but that has horrible side effects of its own.
I get mine on prescription but I have lupus. I’m pretty sure a relatively healthy person who has a vitamin D deficiency would be told to buy supplements. I take Fultium D3 which is prescription only. Your doctor will recommend a specific type if you need it, whether OTC or on prescription.
There was some research released just yesterday showing that basically everyone in the northern hemisphere would benefit by taking vitamin D + calcium. It massively reduces the rate of heart attacks for some reason. Do check with your doctor before taking anything that hasn’t been prescribed though.
Good video, just the one I was thinking of. During the pandemic my company sent employees boxes of sanitation kits to assemble and bag and then donate to homeless shelters. The kit included these remanufactured soap bars, along with unused random hotel lotion and shampoo, sample tubes of toothpaste, very cheap white toothbrushes, and moist towelettes.
Most execution methods are, and it never works out as clean and civilized and painless as is claimed. Miscarriages of justice also happen. I’m glad my jurisdiction doesn’t use death penalties any more, and can only hope humanity manages to consign the idea to history someday.
Maybe it’s just the crappy hotels I’ve used, but the soaps are always so small, I need two whole bars to take a shower. I know I’m not in the best of shape, but I ain’t that huge.
It makes for a faster, more efficient execution. This was not what its creator had intended... he just wanted to take executioners too drunk to feel guilt or aim precisely out of the equation. I think he went to his grave regretting his invention, as it was so frequently used during the French Revolution that dogs and cats would lap up the spilled blood.
When I was a vegetarian, Indian food was my go to. Guaranteed to be vegetarian and tasty. It would even be mostly vegan but they use ghee in almost everything, so it's a big no-no for vegans unfortunately
Vegetarianism is not enough. Cows are murdered at a few hours old if they have the misfortune of being male, or unwanted "stock" if they're female. Male chicks are killed at a few hours old because they'll never produce eggs. Vegetarians preach love for animals, but they're hypocrites. dairy and eggs are so cruel.
I agree. I was vegetarian for 3-4 years and realized that if I was doing it for the animals, I couldn't keep consuming eggs and dairy, or any other animal product for that matter. Been a vegan for more than 10 years now
Ye man I could infer that from your earlier comment :D
Just a tip: I agree with everything you say, but if our goal is to change peoples' behavior, it is detrimental to call the hypocrites (and similar adjectives). That creates cognitive dissonance, and people usually double-down on their old behavior when faced with cognitive dissonance instead of changing their behavior. What I've found works best to make people go vegan is instead of calling them out on their behavior, show them positive examples of veganism, and let them do the math.
