upright & seeking nutrition

4. It will take about 30% of the time that it took to become in a distressed, burned out state, to rehabilitate the metabolic damage from distress.  Thanks to my Dad for teaching me this principle early and often.  From colds and flu, to surgery, this principle is helpful to me. This formula turns out to be more about what has already happened than what needs to happen in the future in order to regain good metabolic potential.  For older persons the rehab might be practically the rest of your life.  To make this workable, I use 7 years as a maximum since this formula is only useful if it helps you be patient with steady, but sometimes intermittent, improvement. Young people have a different problem with improving metabolism:  their formative years were influenced by a more degraded food supply and exposure to more environmental estrogens.  Younger people are more resilient, but their potential for metabolic robustness can be generally less.  I s...

There are several principles that a layman can interpret from reading the physical-biological view of the human organism and its metabolism in its environment. 1. Stress happens in real-time and can be mitigated in real-time. 2. Stress accumulates. 3. Aging represents the accumulation of stress and changes in the structural and functional capacity to do work or think clearly. 4. It will take about 30% of the time that it took to become in a distressed, burned out state, to rehabilitate the metabolic damage from distress. 5. E pluribus unum , from many, one. 6. Stress hormones are deceptive; they give euphoric sensations in the short-term. 7. Physiological increments in metabolic support are still support. 8. Distress is traumatic to the metabolism. 9. The food supply is so fundamentally degraded that some ingredients are not distinguishable from building materials. 10. Appetite is a guide to nutritional needs under specific metabolic conditions. The physical-...
