Detox Empty
PostSubject: Detox Detox EmptyThu Mar 30, 2017 8:32 am

As part of a general ascetic attitude.
A weekly 24hr detox of no solid foods, only juices and water, is something I try to practice.
Used to be more disciplined in the past, despite also suffering through a three-days a week, weight-lifting, and three km run.

Given that up for swimming and walking, in my old age.
Don't need to attract a mate, or fight off competitors, or deal with retards on a physical level.
Ironically, my ability to detox has also declined.
The disciplined required, based on a desire, a motive, has waned, as there is no objective other than well-being.
It's difficult to justify well-being when you are enjoying it.
Never been someone with many desires, to be frank.
My ambitions rarely involved the participation of others.

I remember friends complaining that I never invited them to the gym.
I did not want dependence, because this makes it harder to maintain a routine.
I've been a solitary animal, all my life. Another aspect I am finding ti difficult to maintain, because aging makes you increasingly dependent on others.
The metaphor of a 'lone wolf' is inaccurate. Wolves are very social animals. They are more discriminating, than, lets say, a sheep, or a bovine, with its natural dependence on huge herds.
Solitary animals are bears, and foxes, and coyotes, and eagles...not wolves.
A 'lone wolf' is a contradiction, or indicative of a wolf that has lost its pack, or that has been pushed out of one.
Wolf howling in the night is a longing for community or, like a rooster's morning call, a declaration of presence, to all potential threats.
A wolf would not survive on its own.
It requires a pack to put into place its cooperative hunting strategy.
Bears, on the other hand, only tolerate the presence of another of their kind when its time to accomplish a deed that requires the cooperation of another - to have offspring. Then the male returns to its solitary life. Socializing only to breed.
I feel a kinship, as my desire to socialize dropped after I passed on my genes, and along with it my desire to self-repress, and to impress and to tolerate.
I, now, find individuals I could tolerate, in my discriminating ways, to be intolerable for more than a few hours.
When the deed of passing on my memetic fertilization has been accomplished, or frustrated, I no longer require their participation.
I went off on a tangent.
Back on-topic...
Nevertheless, I try to detox once a week, or biweekly.
My constitutions seems to agree with it, as I feel energized rather than suffering diminished energy, as many others report after prolonged fasting.
It has to do with genetic rates of cellular systolic/diastolic rhythms - metabolism.
The difficult part is going to sleep when you're hyper-up by the day-long lack of food.
Next morning I feel amazing.
Maybe that's how a bear feels when awakening after a few months of hibernation.
Who knows.

I have decided to detox for life, and with each passing week my energy levels rise and physiological system strengthens.
A practically zero-toxin eating plan, also makes for an un-stressed physiological system, and so for an optimised being. If one knows one’s kryptonite, it’s best to avoid it for longevity’s sake.. but I know many don’t/that don’t.

Yes.. unnecessary activity, like doing mega-cardio to burn off excess extravagant calories or doing crazy-heavy weights, is counterproductive to overall optimal health and longevity.. not to forget the damage that all that can do to the joints. I’ve always only ever trained for strength X endurance, which is kept minimally short.. otherwise I’d get bored of working out altogether.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], but [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I do eat carbs, but in the form of root vegetables and sweet potatoes.. to go with my meat or other protein, and not starchy hard-to-digest carbs.

I eat similar to this, below, except for the top-tier and dairy element.. of which I abstain from.

First I tox then I de-tox.
As I grow older I tox less and less. I barely speak.
Toxing is tiering.

my nutritional habits are:

once or twice a week fish.
once or twice a week poultry.
once a week red meat.
once or twice a week grains beans etc.
once a weak fast or light meal - this is getting harder as I age.
once a week cheat on fast food or other crap.

Tox? lol.. I abstain from that, it throws me off my optimality and into an inactuality.. of sorts.

Speaking is over-rated, it should only be attempted.. when necessary. Smile

That’s really healthy.. what do you have your protein with, vegetables? starches?

I find fasting much easier, with age.. as I can’t be bothered to get up and cook, for stretches of long hours at a time Laughing
