Recycling - #Springwatch

The Osmia Bicolor Bee only ever builds her nest inside empty snail shells (here, the Cotswold limestone hills).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmia_bic…
She forages for pollen and nectar.
Which she then stores inside the shell.

**New Perspectives**

- It’s better to be naively right than expertly wrong
- Much of modern medicine is a solution in search of a problem
- The more powerful the ‘superfood’ the more potential for harm
- The more energy you eat, the less energetic you are
- The human body is designed for scarcity
- Starvation reveals your primal nature
- Supply dictates harm/benefit
- Plants make sense when viewed as drugs
- The extent of your omnivory is dictated by what you tolerate
- Deranged intestinal permeability causes systemic problems
- In a modern environment the body is harmed by its own protective mechanisms
- Your body is sub-set of the environment
- Your body’s processes match those of the environment
- Live long by switching off growth
- Aging is decreasing variation

TRAINING & LEARNING

The deeper you dive, the deeper it gets.

How you evolve.

🧵
1 The essence of training is trying things out for yourself & learning by experience. Learning means making mistakes, getting injured, going backwards, finding out what works for you. Further, what works will change depending on ur training status, age & the pulls of normal life.
2 Performance is the only thing that matters. Results. No matter what advice you get and who it’s from, if it doesn’t work for you (or stops working for you after a period), alter it, change it, or find something else.

DIE HEALTHY

You start of with a maximum potential lifespan under ideal conditions (with a mix of non-ideal/disease genes & protective genes).

Your job (for longevity) is to resist/reduce/mitigate those things (environmental/endogenous) which reduce your Max Pot lifespan.
Exercise, diet and preservation methods are things you can adopt, especially with a view to the most important disease causing predispositions you have.

Longevity becomes a curse if you are chronically unhealthy for 30years before you die - so healthspan is important.
So 'Compression of Morbidity' is your aim i.e. a quick 'healthy' death, not a long drawn out chronic decline with 25years of poor health.

You can't (as yet) do anything about your genetic lottery but you can try and realise a long healthspan from what you are given

All these are correlated with health & longevity

- Grip strength
- VO2 max

- Dynapenia

The development of a high-level generalism is a super-power.
