I’m the wrong person to ask. I know essentially nothing and whatever I claim to know is likely wholly wrong. But, F it, thus spoke me.
Fabrics. Cotton. If not cotton as much of a cotton blend as can be found in your price range. Regardless of what type of clothing you should aim to wear as little as possible. Nix underwear and nix bras. Let your big ol dick and balls, your big ol melons, your big ol camel toe, let those things breathe and show them off for God’s sake! Go nude around the house or to the grocery store.
Fasting. I’ll preamble by citing the book “Virile Powers of the Superb Man.” If you want to get in shape or you want to do an experiment, this book would recommend to fast. For how long? Until you find yourself hungry. As the book says and I’m certain this is true: such may take not hours not a day or two but days. more generally I recommend if you can help it give yourself as a rule at least a few hours before you retire for the evening to let any consumed food digest. If you want to try an intermittent fasting program I’ve found what works best for me follows the old adage of “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper; which is to say get most your caloric intake early in the day. If you cut off food around 4 then no matter when you have to rise the next morning you’ll be guaranteeing yourself a solid 12-17 or 18 hour intermittent fast. If you prefer to eat later all good I’d say eat how you want through the afternoon and evening (perhaps still abstaining from eating too late at night) then just the following day listening to your body and when you feel like it’s time; be it noon or 3 or 5, get grubbin! For day fasts, I’d say first time attempts should be done the following way: go one whole waling day without eating. Don’t worry about the hour count or anything like that. Decide- I’m going to eat a big dinner the day before and a big big breakfast the day after, but for one whole waking day I just won’t eat. Or if you’d like go 24 hours— so breakfast to breakfast lunch to lunch dinner to dinner whatever you like. Then you try doing a full waking day or 2 or 3. I do recommend first time going for the whole waking day no eating though. There is something spiritual about it.
Diet. Eat as absolutely as much as you’d like. Yes you heard me right. Eat it all, then eat some more. Only, eat exactly the right foods and nothing else. The right foods have shared basic characteristics and shared lacking characteristics. What they share is that they are from the Earth. What the all lack is that they don’t have nasty ridiculous chemicals in them. Ideally you’re rich or we live in a society that values and promotes health so you can access beef made from cows that ate grass that wasn’t sprayed, that breathed air that wasn’t polluted, that had space to run and frolic, that had caretakers that showed them loved, and truly that lived til near the end of their life before being butchered. The last bit is a love thing mostly. I bet they taste bette though. Oh yes love is healthy I reckon. Also truth. Also rage and all the human things. Don’t hold that stuff in. Anyway, eat good stuff from the Earth, and if you can eat stuff that hasn’t been poisoned. I know I know there’s poison in the food and on the food it’s a maze…… Eat a lot of protein. Eat Avocados and eat Salmon and eat broccoli and eat eggs and eat celery and eat strawberries and eat chicken breast and eat steak and eat blueberries and pineapple and honey and chia seeds and lemons and mustard and apples and carrots and bean sprouts and salami (uncured) and spinach (washed). It’s ok to eat concoctions as long as they have natural ingredients. Such would be organic guacamole or hummus or bitchin sauce or pesto (mmmhmm pesto). Avoid most all boxed items and bagged items. If it’s nonperishable, barring some frozen treats, it’s probably trash and it’s not for an alpha beast (or beastess) like you.
Dairy. An appendage to the previous paragraph. If raw, I say go to town. If not, I say sadly don’t even look at it. Not the milk or the yogurt or the cheese or the butter.
Seed oils. another appendage. I guess they’re bad. The better one’s are avocado and olive, but those are apparently still not great. So either bare minimum there or raw butter.
Supplements. Iodine I hear makes you smart. The right salt will come with Iodine, only make sure there’s nothing else extra in there. They also have iodine droplets but if you’re getting a proper amount of iodized salt you’ll be ok. Salt recommended intake I understand to be a tablespoon, which, believe or not, is the amount of salt that can be scooped by your average.. table spoon (like ya know a regular spoon). A technique to begin to gauge intake is to in the morning scoop out a spoonful and leave the spoon out through the day. As you use the salt you can start to see what a spoonful a day looks like [thumbs up emoji]. I take no supplements but I understand Vitamin D is good especially if you can’t get into the dun or live somewhere super cloudy. Best to take sun though. Ah and Omega 3. If you eat fish, which you should, you’re good. It’s also in chia seeds.
Sun. Speaking of, get out in it. forget sun screen. Pay attention to how long you’ve been in the sun and give your body breaks. Don’t directly expose your skin continuously to the sun for more than 15-20 minutes at a time; so either sunbathing flip at that point or just find some shade. As far as partial sun goes, speaking as a caucasian, partial sun seems to be the name of the game. Picture life in the woods. Partial sun all day long, no problem. Life on the steppe plains I suppose you’re bound to receive more sun and perhaps that explains the golden Germanic tan, so maybe forget partial sun in that case. No more sunscreen though. We’re done with that. Ah and look at the sun. Oh I know I’m crazy you’ll go blind but I can say for years now I’ve been looking right at that big blazing ball, only for short bits of time, and mostly just towards it not straight at it, and I’m ok. You’ll notice when you let sunlight directly into your eyes that you feel way better. It’s swell you’ll be fine you can in fact look at the sun you need not hide your eyes or bow before it. The sun is your friend.
Water. Drink good healthy amounts of it. Listen to your body and don’t overdo it. When just waking up and just before bed are naturally especially good times to gulp down some aqua. Also, get in it. Find an ocean, find a large—because they don’t get hot and invite parasites—lake, a river, a hot bath, a cold shower. Find it. Be careful to not over expose the body to hot running water. For a daily shower keep it right there at body temp, or frigid, if you’d like. Ensure your water is filtered. From the faucet or the shower head. No fluoride should be swallowed. No chlorine should be doused.
Dark exposure. Ideally you shouldn’t use any lights at night. Hey not my rules. If you must use minimal dim lights and make them warm coloured (like the sun). Bright white LEDs we’re leaving behind with the sunscreen, the polyester, and the seed oils. On full moon nights I would say go outside and howl at it and stare into it. That’s not exactly “health advice” but I’m speaking now. As far as the screens go we’re flanking from both sides. We’re setting our night shift to allll the way warm aannndd we’re using blue light glasses / a blue light screen cover. And as far as reasonable dark exposure goes, spend time through the night going outside into the darkness and/or turning out the lights and spend some even 5, 10, 20 minutes before bed in total darkness, ideally outside or at least by a window where you can gaze at the night sky. It’s not just “darkness” it is indeed the night sky that says to your brain sleep.
Chemicals. Gross. Firstly be sure to wash off produce (with filtered water). Secondly, don’t buy foods with made up ingredients. You can spot them easily. If it doesn’t say an actual thing, and instead says some xenodextromaltaphosphoastraloce don’t eat it. There are a couple that sound made up but I think I understand to be ok like Xanthan Gum. As far as foods are concerned that’s the long and short of it. With household products, it’s nix the fragrance. Fragrance items like laundry detergent and dish soap and hair/skin products are no good. Look for all natural, non scented EVERYTHING.
Air. Open a gosh darn window. Sweep up the darned dust bunnies.
Pills and such. Please just don’t please.
Skin care. Also probably don’t. If you must use minimal amounts for minimal amounts of time and make sure it’s natural and unscented.
Plastic and friends. Fuck! it never ends! Hard plastics are better. Don’t reuse or if it can be helped use at all soft plastics, or really plastics in general. Use nontoxic nonstick pans— most are like that today thankfully. Don’t eat out of aluminum cans and don’t put aluminum in or on your body. It’s bad news.
Exercise. Great. Run fast. Breathe hard. Lift much. Feel good. Rest well. Stretch well. Follow the sun. Live your best life.
Eyes. Don’t stare at your screen for too long at a time. Go outside and look far away and then close up. Don’t forget to blink. Don’t forget the blue light glasses for movie night.
Sleep. Sleep good and long. If it can be helped do not use an alarm. Sleep as long or as short as is natural. Following the course of the sun is ideal for best sleep and best wakeful vitality. Don’t forsake sleep. If you fuck up and get to bed super late, please call out of work the next day and sleep til 1 in the afternoon. Better yet quit your job.
Drugs and alcohol. What do ya got? I mean… don’t overdo it. Indulgence can be a form of self love as far as I’m concerned but you don’t want to feel like shit all the time and you don’t want to fuck up your potential or risk getting hooked on something devastating. It demands personal sovereignty. Live well. It goes without saying if you’re totally sober you’re going to have an easier time staying vigilant with all the other health crap you’re forced to consider in our modern age. But then, total sobriety? Talk about BORING amiright. Not all drugs were made the same nor alcohols. Hard liqour mixed with water is good for getting f’ed up and staying hydrated and skinny.
Sugar. Amazing. The body wants it. It wants it in the proper vehicle though. Which is to say, again, no poison.
Bread. I don’t know about bread. Perhaps, like dairy, if it was unmolested, it’d be swell. If it has been molested which it more than likely has, a tragedy of course, you’d be best to steer clear.
I’m bound to have forgotten much and to have given patently bad guidance here. So be it. Learn. Find better sourced foods. Try things. Listen to your body.
There’s no way I’m steering you in a worse direction than the FDA or that one health website.
You’re welcome.
