Food/Diet and training hobbies
-
OK so after a few conversations with various people on the forum there seems to be a fair few of us with a personal sporting hobby and/or an interest in food (I do love a box of Krispy Kremes)/ diets and nutrition.
So use this thread to discuss anything food/diet related and any sporting hobbies/training goals etc.
What sports/athletic activities (keep it clean!) do you participate in? What would you like to try? what did you used to do and what was your experience like?
What 'diet' ideas do you follow? What have you tried? Was it for a specific reason? Did you like it/find it tough/hate it?
Please keep things friendly, in the spirit of the BTC community. There are no 'wrong' things. I have seen and heard all the anti meat/anti vegan raging to last me a lifetime. We are all open minded and helpful here at BTC, hopefully not just in trading.

@Akiva-Anderson I have thought about Lion's Mane before, Adam told me he used it and it worked.
Will have to get some, where you get yours? Seems to be so many out there tough to know whats a good one or not.
I get most of my stuff of that sort from mindnutrition.com or lifeessentials.co.uk.

@Akiva-Anderson just bought some of those magic mushrooms you recommended how long before you saw results?
Actually quite quickly. You should take the Lion's Mane and Maitake together. It's just a subtle change. Enough to take the edge off the racing thoughts. You'll feel calmer

I reckon you and @Martin have it!

@Akiva-Anderson my wife says I have ADHD I think lots more people have it than we think. I like your idea of more looking down the natural route for medications rather than the **** doctors try and prescribe just to get you out of the door!
ADHD has also been nicknamed the entrepreneurial gene

@Akiva-Anderson This is a big talking point in our household at the moment as we strongly suspect our 8 year old has it. The first podcast I listened to on the subject suggested looking at the family history. Now, it seems my wife shows some tendencies towards it, and so do I....although Im certainly not the on the hyperactive/impulsive side of things. In fact, Lions mane would probably put me straight to sleep
If a child has ADHD there's an 80% one of the parents has it.
In Northern Ireland, there is about 10% of the school-aged population that has ADHD. That equates to around 40,000 children. If we use the 4% of adults living with ADHD, then that is 70,000 adults in Northern Ireland with the condition. Not even 20% of those would be aware they had the condition. A large percentage of adults would be on Anti-depressant, Anti-anxiety or even Anti-psychotic medications

As many people know, I have ADHD. I believe quite a lot of people do, but they’re just not aware of it.
I’ve been taking ADHD medication for over 20 years. I’ve never liked the way it made me feel, but it certainly helps with concentration.
I’ve also been looking for an alternative to ADHD meds and I’ve never found it. I’ve spent thousands on supplements, including CBD oil, but have never found something to take the the edge and help me relax…until now.
I’ve been taking Lions mane capsules alongside Maitake. I’ve got these from my local Holland & Barrett store. I take them twice a day. I can’t believe how laid back I am lately.

@Tony-Hastie Think the ultra marathon I would probably be breathing through my arse by the end!!!
-
@Dan-MacKinnon ...just 5 minutes per day.
It's all NEW to me and always thought it a pile of s**t until I got ill!!All bloody weird but it is helping, I was always a 100%, Work, Run 50 miles a week, play sport, exercise and enjoy and life life to the full.
NOW, I do breathing, Nidra Yoga and something called Qi Jong. Trying Anything to try and get better, even done Oxygen chambers!!
Wish I'd known about some of these when I was fit as they do help and improve healthy people as well.

Ive run a few ultra marathons over the years and the ultra community rave about nose breathing. For me Ive used it when Ive forgotten my heart rate monitor and need to regulate the speed of a run, its really good for that(although apparently you can "train" yourself to run faster nose breathing). Ill tell you when it doesnt work though...when youre bunged up with the monthly cold the kids have brought home from school/nursery. If you can breath at all you just cover yourself with a stream of snot

@Karl-Pick how often and how long do you do that for? I guess focusing on breathing has been happening for years with meditation
