ASHWAGANDHA: Do you have any insights, Mr. Potato?

Ashwagandha is just GNARLY, and alongside creatine is one of my staples for supplementation on a budget — ’CAUSE THAT SHIT IS CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE— specifically for the challenges we face in modern society, just the fact that it has shown over and over again in studies and clinical trials that it can reduce stress and boost testosterone is already MORE THAN ENOUGH to consider taking that shit.

Ashwagandha is an ADAPTOGEN, a natural substance that helps the body adapt to stressors, whether they be physical, mental, or emotional regulating the body's stress response and helping balance hormones, improving the immune system, and promoting a healthy response to stress.

Its key benefit is counteracting CORTISOL— the hormone of stress— cortisol isn't necessarily bad, it actually is pretty important for performing in high-stress situations like combat, live competition, or public speaking.

Cortisol and testosterone have an inverse relationship, meaning that high levels of cortisol can lead to decreased testosterone levels, while low cortisol levels can lead to increased testosterone levels, and chronically high levels of cortisol absolutely DEMOLISH your quality of life and wreak havoc on your entire system.

And unfortunately for us, the same technologies that provide us with the luxuries and comfort that allow this specific point in time to be the ABSOLUTE EASIEST time to survive in all human history also come with unnatural burdens that completely disrupt our brain's reward systems and perception of reality, by introducing us to an infinite new's cycle, completely abstract reward systems like bills and money, instant empty stimulation with porn, videogames, movies, and social media, and UNACHIEVABLE SURREAL standards to live by.

Not only because motherfuckers think social media is real life, but back in the day, if you were the best at whatever thing you like to do in your town, aye, you're GOOD, now, the second you start anything, you're automatically comparing yourself with the best people in the field of your choosing, and WITH A HORDE of lying ass motherfuckers.

It's like I always say, I've seen a handful of people squat 500lbs, and all of them either owned gyms or competed for years in powerlifting, ONLINE BRUH!? I'm hit DAILY with kids aged 12-88 saying they're throwing 700lbs deadlifts around like it's a rainy day in Cancun, which I very often get to smirk and reply "Dude, you know that's a WORLD RECORD for your weight, and age, right?"

So, there has never been a better time TO BE CONSCIOUS.

You simply can't live a healthy life in this day and age by simply REACTING to life, you can't operate on the basis of compulsion, the algorithms, the shiny lights, the potential indulgence has a gravitational pull that REQUIRES A CONSIDERED EFFORT TO GET OUT OF.

Most of the battle is fought on the inside, on the battlefield of the mind, with delayed gratification, composure, virtue, altruism, structure, AND FUCKING DISCIPLINE.

But supporting levels of mental health that allow for all that good shit to be implemented, REQUIRES us to take EXTREME good care of the machine, of the fucking body.

SLEEP— EXERCISE— HYDRATION— NUTRITION— SOCIAL BONDING.

These are the pillars on which your mental health will stand, if you don't have that shit NAILED, that's the first step, and if the goal is improving upon an already GREAT lifestyle, supplementation is an option, and there are TONS of evidence suggesting that yea yup, Ashwagandha will help TREMENDOUSLY.

But keep in mind, that adding it to a bad lifestyle, is like adding Stripes, and a Spoiler to your Pontiac Aztek— NO, it doesn’t turn it into a racecar— AND NO, that shit still looks absolutely RIDICULOUS.

So here are the potential HEALTH BENEFITS of Ashwagandha:

Reducing stress and anxiety

Improving brain function and memory

Lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels

Decreasing inflammation

Boosting testosterone and fertility in men

Supporting a healthy immune system

And here are the potential ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE BENEFITS:

Increase strength and muscle mass

Enhance endurance and reduce muscle damage

Improve recovery time following exercise

Enhance cognitive function, reaction time, and hand-eye coordination

It's important to note that while there is some research supporting these potential benefits, more studies are needed to fully understand the effects of Ashwagandha on health and athletic performance.

The clinically effective dosage of Ashwagandha is 600mg/day.

So always check the nutritional facts in the bottles of any supplements that contain ashwagandha to see if they’re using ENOUGH to create positive effects, and if the supplement containing it has a proprietary blend to hide the amounts, don’t take it.

Yo, thanks for reading this all the way my BRUDDAH, if you can upvote this one for me, it would be DEEPLY appreciated my G!

BANG THAT IRON!

Big KISS

dunno if this has been done yet but: airplane didn’t first become aware of peerless cucumber in the comments of pidw, he first saw peerless in the comments of a different web novel (that perhaps was one of airplane’s earlier works?) and so when initially drafting pidw he was inspired to write a villain just like cucumber bc “he’s MEAN MEAN for no reason, a literature snob, and pretends to be all high and mighty while looking down on others. also likes to kick down the little guy” and boom. sqq was born. cut to years later post-transmigration when sqh just casually drops this info with “lol i always did find it funny how much you hated the guy considering he’s literally based off you”

#and in the classic fashion of sqq AND og!sqq— this sends sy into a fit of rage #i mean… c’mon those freak outs sqq has with sqh aka the only time he ever breaks character are SO shen jiu coded no?#anyway the actually background of sj is developed later ofc to flesh his character out better and is unrelated to the og inspiration #but as we know that never ends up getting used in pidw so it didn’t matter rip #so this simultaneously makes sy and sj the same person but also NOT the same person #so in terms of bingmei vs bingge extra: why did you get the shizun you did bingge?#maybe… you weren’t a real person until the very moment you crossed over?#which means sqq wasn’t either :( sorry Buddy #idk just a hc but it IS really interesting to think about #svsss #scum villian self saving system #scum villain #scumbag system #scumbag self saving system #scumbag villain #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #shen jiu #og shen qingqiu #shang qinghua #airplane shooting towards the sky #peerless cucumber #pidw luo binghe #luo bingge

Oh, it’s gonna be the way you always thought it would be

but it’s gonna be no illusion

Oh, it’s gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

but it’s gonna be really happenin’ to ya

#doodles #fe art tag #fe3h #fire emblem three houses #claude von riegan #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #edelgard von hresvelg #oh yes here we go again it's kai putting characters to kate bush lyrics that barely fit #look look look i've been obsessed with the line the cross and the curve for a long time #and many many months ago was like WAIT HOLD ON A SECOND i'm gonna APPLY THAT TO MY FIRE EMBLEM NONSENSE #and what do you know!! there's three characters perfect for it!!!#so i have actually had this in mind for well over a year and only recently put it to paper #the concept went through many changes #did all the florals and the characters on paper and the filling in the background digitally #i might eventually revisit this perhaps with color or a new rendering to make it look more dramatic #but for now i am just happy to have completed something that has been on my mind for so long #and during a time at which i have been making so little art #anyway please enjoy the art as usual i worked a lot on this one jshdsjdhgs
