Like the title says. As everyone knows, research on fasting is still not as... abundant as we'd like it to be, and we could use more studies. I've always wondered where do those scientists take people for their studies from,...
Has anyone done intermittent fasting or even multiple days fasting being a university student? Does it affect your studying? What are some tips for someone who is a beginner?
https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/food-features/how-does-pork-prepared-in-various-ways-affect-the-blood/ Supposedly eating non marinated/cured pork causes blood clotting but the study seems sketchy (sample size of <5, not peer reviewed) if anyone qualified can fact check that'd be awesome.
As the title states, what should I expect in this experience? I have no other obligations besides just studying for a standardized test. I imagine studying for extended periods of time would perhaps be too hard on the body.
Im looking for studies which compare omnivorous diets. Often inclusion/exclusion of meat studies are terribly muddled and the exclusion of meat is often praised rather than the inclusion of vegetables and other dietary components. Anyone have any interesting articles or...
