(in moderation)
Wrinkles and laugh lines are just the consequences of a life lived. Really we should celebrate them.
Nobody cares that a 50 year old doesn’t look 20. Meanwhile each laugh line indicates days filled with joy.
A friend of mine once said:
What’s the point in living forever if all you eat is salad?
I really love salad. Like an insane amount. Crunchy greens, baby spinach, every kind of onion, hit me with those sliced radishes! Sliced cucumber, carrots, bell pepper! And most days I don’t even want dressing. Or meat in there.
Which means that I don’t get enough fuel for sustenance, and I don’t get enough protein!
I guess what I’m saying is, even salad in moderation.
I am so jelly of you and the folks who love excersise.
You say that, but I am also fat.
how you get fat on salad?
Maybe by deep frying it? Eating lots of desserts? Sugary drinks?
Now thats my type of salad. deep fried and cheese sauce and I could eat salad for every meal!
It gets a habit really quick, if you find something you enjoy.
6 years ago it started as slight detours while cycling home from work, now I get itchy if I don’t manage at least 100km/week on my bike.
I rode a bike commuting for years and it was fun but no itchy for me working form home now. I miss it some especially the awesome route I had but all the same I just don’t pick up habits well I guess.
I listen to podcasts. Maybe it’s really just not yours, but for me it’s a really nice feeling to be somewhere in the middle of nowhere, learning something new and seeing new things.
I used to think I didn’t like exercise. As it turns out, I’m just not that into running. I love biking though.
I’ve always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk
You can’t make friends with salad…
Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.
Sisko: Dax, I don’t want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.

I don’t post too much Star Trek but it felt particularly relevant ha.
Everything in moderation, including moderation
The portion makes the poison.
What’s the LD50 of high quality olive oil?
From /r/theydidthemath, six years ago:
solpyro
An MSDS from naturalsourcing.com for “olive oil grade a” gives an LD50 of >2000mg/kg. (I couldn’t copy the link on mobile, sorry)
An average human is around 62kg (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight) and they would need to ingest over 124g.
Olive oil has a density of .918g/cm³ (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml) making this dose about 114ml.
…which, I’m going to be honest, seems low.
As a fatty mcfat fat person, there are limits. Having a treat here and there is no issue, enjoy that deep fried state fair concoction, just don’t eat it every day. Buy that cute trinket or sweater or game, just don’t buy all of them every time. Enjoy the sun shine, don’t roast yourself.
Anything in excess is bad for you. Even water.
We must beware of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide
My great grandpa ingested dihydrogen monoxide every day of his life, often more than once. And now he’s dead.
Whatever you do, don’t breathe it in!
Well that’s just plain silly

What a wild stance to take.
Wilde was wild
Having to come to terms with that. I usually don’t drink enough, like less than a litre on some days if I don’t notice it, so after contemplating a purchase of a Stanley Cup knock-off for months, I finally bought one and started drinking water like a maniac. Like 4-5l per day. Have to actively keep myself in check not to drink too much. Although, it’s been quite hot recently so maybe it’s not as dire as I make it out be
Isn’t it mostly okay as long as you intersperse an electrolyte add-in?
only bad effect im aware of is passing out because of electrolyte dilution.
Yeah, that is called “drowning”
No, it’s called overhydration and, in extreme cases, water toxicity.
I mean no one said “flee the sun”. They said “use sunscreen”.

I have two big mantras I subscribe to:
- “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing in excess.”
- “All things in moderation.”
Somewhere between the two, we balance the debauchery, somewhat.
memento mori
Olive oil and cheese in moderation don’t make you fat, in fact they can be very healthy. You just have to be mindful of your overall diet. Most things can be healthy and unhealthy depending on the quantities and everything else you eat. Pastries are mostly bad yeah cause usually the sugar in a single serving is more than the daily recommended intake. But once in a while they are not harmful.
Also an important thing to note here is what you are used to eating. If you are used to not eating sweets at all, a sugary fruit like a grape can seem sweet to you. If you eat a lot of sugar, then fruits will not taste sweet at all. It’s like drinking orange juice after eating chocolate (it tastes sour af) but on a bigger scale. So there are no absolutes when it comes to eating. One can feel satisfied with little sugar so long as they are used to it.
