@DanWMcLean This makes me sick to my stomach. What is happening in our country?

So Judges can Ban Poppies from Court Rooms because they can make people feel Unsafe?
This is Absurd, Insulting and Unacceptable.

If you follow me, it’s probably because you love the Blue Jays. Regardless of the result, here’s hoping you cherished the journey; the road taken can be just as important as the destination.

I held the door open at dollarama for an entire family of 5, and not one of them could say thank you. So obviously, I said you're welcome very loudly! Still no thank you, just dirty looks.

@foundmyfitness I’ve been taking 5 grams of Creatine daily for weeks but beginning today I’m going to increase my dosage to 10 grams. I’ll see what happens.😊👍
English
Why I upped my creatine dose to 10 grams per day.
I used to take 5 grams of creatine daily, which provides solid benefits for muscle strength and performance (when combined with resistance training). Recently, I increased my dose to 10 grams, and here’s why I made the switch.
Research suggests that 10 grams of creatine per day may offer additional advantages, particularly for brain health. Studies show that this higher dose increases creatine levels in areas like the grey matter, white matter, and thalamus more effectively than lower doses, such as 4 grams, over an 8-week period. This is likely due to a "spillover effect", where excess creatine benefits the brain once muscles are fully saturated.
While 5 grams is effective for physical performance, 10 grams seems to provide a broader range of benefits, including potential cognitive support and bone health.
If you’re considering creatine supplementation and want to maximize its effects, a 10-gram daily dose could be worth exploring.

@BlueJays @alejandro_kirk @27vladdyjr @Sportsnet As loyal fans of the Toronto Blue Jays it’s great to be appreciated by some of the players. Looking forward to continuing my following of Canada’s team. Go Jays!!💕⚾️🇨🇦

@DavidKrayden I believe in Pierre. Prior to the election I followed his rallys on social media. Pierre Pollievre would have made a fantastic prime minister. I hope to God and for the sake of our country Pierre will be given the chance to lead our country.💕🇨🇦

@DrWeil This is such encouraging news. Does weekend exercise also help improve and sustain one’s cognitive function?
English
Great news, "weekend warriors"! A British study shows weekend exercise lowers death risk and reduces cardiovascular disease and cancer risks. Lace up those trainers! 💪 #WeekendWarriors #FitnessFacts #HealthyLiving drweil.com/health-wellnes…

@foundmyfitness I’m comforted hearing your approval of using Stevia as a replacement for sugar.
English
I'm getting a lot of questions about stevia in the comments.
Most research indicates that stevia doesn't acutely increase appetite and may even reduce it.
This makes it a suitable sugar substitute for those concerned about appetite and energy intake.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick@foundmyfitness
Drinking beverages sweetened with the zero-calorie sweetener sucralose may significantly alter brain mechanisms involved in hunger regulation, according to a new brain imaging study. Acute consumption of sucralose increased hypothalamic blood flow by 7.9% compared to sugar-sweetened drinks (sucrose) and by 7.8% compared to water. Increased hypothalamic blood flow is a neural marker typically associated with greater hunger, and indeed, hunger ratings were significantly higher after consuming sucralose. In contrast to sucralose—which was metabolically inert due to its lack of calories—sucrose (table sugar) raised blood glucose, insulin, and GLP-1 levels, all metabolic changes that corresponded with reduced hunger and decreased hypothalamic activity. While this study investigated acute effects rather than long-term outcomes, these results underscore that non-caloric sweeteners like sucralose could disrupt the body's natural appetite control mechanisms, challenging the assumption that they represent a neutral or beneficial alternative to sugar.
