Best greetings to all of you, dear members of the Looksmax community.
It seems like millions of people these days take psychiatric drugs to get through the day.
No matter where you look, almost everyone consumes something, even if it's "just" alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, refined sugar and cannabis. The current generation in particular has had experience with all kinds of drugs such as benzodiazepines, research chemicals and psychoactive plants at a young age.
Not a big deal thanks to the internet, anonymity, various marketplaces and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Monero.
The truth is, most people are unhappy for a variety of reasons. Loneliness/no loyal friendships, social isolation/exclusion, bullying, alienation, no love/intimacy/long-term relationship/family (the most important basis for a fulfilling life). Many have none of it. Therefore, most (often men) choose the way out and pray to creation so that in the next life they will grow up in a better family. It's no surprise that suicide rates are hitting record highs every year (this isn't going to change in the future).
By relationship, I mean someone who's actually worth starting a family with, not a person who's been on Tinder dates every weekend for several years and thinks it's perfectly normal. The same goes for nudes on platforms like OnlyFans and videos on TikTok showing off glutes.
In order to have a great life, attractiveness is extremely important. Sounds insanely superficial, but that's how this game works, whether we like it or not. That's easier said than done when you were born into disastrous circumstances. Toxicity already in the womb, malnutrition in the most crucial years of life (childhood and adolescence/growth), too little sunlight and exercise, electromagnetic field exposure/radiation, etc.
Before I start, please understand this:
The best results are achieved as a child and adolescent. In adulthood, it tends to get more complicated because most of the growth is complete, at least in my experience.
Microbiome:
More and more doctors are understanding that diseases such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (and more) are not chemical imbalances in the brain but that they are problems (e.g. inflammation, antibiotics) in the digestive tract.
It has now been shown that lactic acid bacteria (especially Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bacteria) can be helpful.
Also, gut bacteria are extremely important to our neurotransmitters like dopamine, GABA, serotonin, etc., all of which are instrumental in how we feel (see gut-brain axis).
Luckily, a few years ago I read the book "Gut and Psychology Syndrome: Natural Treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, A.D.D., Dyslexia, A.D.H.D., Depression, Schizophrenia" by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, who has helped many people (see GAPS Diet). I can recommend this to anyone struggling with developmental disabilities. There are also many interesting videos on YouTube.
Nourishment:
No matter what age you are, we all need healthy food, organic at best. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done, because the microbiome is destroyed by antibiotics, other medications and various environmental pollution.
I'm not one of those people who recommend a specific type of diet, but various healthy foods, such as:
Pomegranates, figs, dates, algae (spirulina, chlorella, be careful when purchasing, the heavy metal contamination is very high, contact a specialist beforehand if you have mercury fillings in your mouth that have not yet been replaced), avocados, grapes, bananas, almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds (soak for at least 12 hours in filtered water and a little sea salt to neutralize the phytic acid), water from a clean spring, apple cider vinegar, wild-caught salmon and sardines, free-range eggs (raw but also boiled/scrambled), melons, cherries, cucumbers, broccoli, raw cacao (once every other week, please do not overdo it), lemons, oranges, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, sprouts (very easy to grow, please do not buy on the internet or in supermarkets), raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, coconut oil, pistachios, macadamia nuts, grass-fed butter/ghee, herbs and spices such as parsley, oregano, basil and more, (raw) honey, papaya, venison (offal for vitamin A and B12), pineapple, mangoes, fermented vegetables such as raw sauerkraut or kimchi (homemade in a jar, no pasteurized products from the supermarket). If you have a juicer, use carrots, fennel, beetroot, and ginger (swish in mouth for a few seconds before drinking to allow saliva to stimulate digestion).
If you know farmers who treat their animals really well, are passionate about their job and offer high quality meat + raw milk/cheese, then feel free to support these people. Bone marrow and oxtail, for example, can often be bought very cheaply, from which you can cook a delicious, healthy soup. Offal such as the liver, heart and kidneys are not expensive either. You can also use the raw milk to make probiotic yogurt and kefir. Be thankful for this food because very few people could kill an animal with their own hands, especially in the west.
I am aware that not everyone has access to all of these products. We live in different parts of the world and most of the time we have to be content with what we can find around us (plus the necessary money). But if you have a choice, please go for organic, even if that term doesn't promise safety and everything is polluted these days.
It's also true that much of what we find in the supermarket has been bred for sweetness and doesn't exist that way in the "wild", which doesn't mean that this food is bad and unhealthy, if you know how to properly prepare it.
If possible, avoid using non-stick Teflon-coated pans and choose a better alternative of high-quality stainless steel or enamelled cast iron cookware. I use products from the company "Le Creuset".
Cosmetics:
I'm just a male with facial and body deformities (sort of a 0 out of 10 when it comes to looks) but our skin is an organ that absorbs all substances.
My recommendation would therefore be to support manufacturers who avoid harmful ingredients as much as possible (e.g. Weleda, Dr. Bronner, Burt's Bees). Yes, I know that avoiding all toxins is almost impossible, especially in the modern world. I personally keep it simple. Short, clean finger- and toenails, brushed teeth with a tongue scraper (morning and evening), a freshly shaved face and a suitable hairstyle.
Exercise:
Move your body. This doesn't mean spending your entire life in the gym unless it's really what you want.
Simple movement. Walking, running, sprinting, soccer, basketball, swimming, volleyball, baseball, rock climbing, inline/ice skating, dancing, biking, etc. You get my point. Find a sport that you enjoy, alone and/or with others. If it's the gym, then do it. If you're at home in front of the computer, build a standing desk for good posture.
Dietary supplements:
To be honest, there are many scams in this industry to make money from cheap ingredients, especially when it comes to fitness, beauty and health.
Whole, organic food, exercise, and plenty of sunlight will always be best. But admittedly, millions of people spend a lot of time in the office eating processed products and just sitting around. If you have enough money, I would primarily recommend vitamin D3, K2 (the MK-4 version), zinc (bisglycinate or picolinate), B3 (niacin), B12 (the methylcobalamin version) and vitamin C powder (from fruits such as rose hips, acerola and camu camu).
An excellent and highly professional company that produces synthetic supplements is Thorne Research. Vitamin C is available in some health food stores.
Probiotics are not recommended in this form, even if there are supposed to be some that really work (e.g. Visbiome / VSL#3).
My recommendation is invest money in a good product like "Masontops" and ferment vegetables yourself. It's really easy and there are many additional helpful videos on platforms like YouTube.
Pharmaceutical drugs, permitted and prohibited substances:
At the end of the day, it's your life and you decide what's right and wrong. But in my opinion it is better not to consume any of it.
There are additives added to illegal drugs (purchased on the street or on the internet), even if it is "just" cannabis. The contamination can lead to brain damage after a short time.
Psychoactive plants (and medicinal mushrooms like lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, chaga, etc.) can increase neurogenesis, but not everyone is ready for it. So please be careful if you want to experiment with psilocybin, ayahuasca, iboga, peyote and others.
Sexuality, (excessive) self-pleasure, pornography:
This topic has already been addressed. Pornography - unable to reach your full potential: https://looksmax.org/threads/pornography-unable-to-reach-your-full-potential.450817/
Plastic surgery:
I had a palatal expansion (after several years with braces) and surgery on both the upper and lower jaw.
The result was barely noticeable and extremely disappointing to me. Of course, it is important that the surgeons work well, I don't want to deny that, but it always depends on what kind of skeletal deformations are involved.
However, it is advisable to listen to your dentist and orthodontist, otherwise you may end up having to remove several broken teeth (or get mercury fillings, which are extremely toxic) and your face will become narrower.
Thank you very much for reading my message.
Take care, all the best, much success and happiness to you and your families.
God bless.
