What are your nutrition/health essentials?

[OGNorCal707]

I'm currently addicted to dark chocolate covered goji berries, they are tasty as hell, and goji is supposed to be one of the world's best superfoods, bursting with vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants. The only problem is they are fucking expensive as hell, and I haven't been able to find a cheaper brand at the grocery stores, a smallish pre-packaged bag is $10. The same brand that makes them, also has some kind of "golden" berry from Peru that is also supposed to be a very potent superfood, haven't tried them yet, because they are also super taxed, but I want to try them soon, anyone know what they are all about, and whether they taste good?

I take so many supplements, many of which you've guys already posted, that I won't even bother, unless inquiring minds would really like to know.

Let's try to keep this thread about new stuff, anything you guys are taking that hasn't been mentioned?

 

[Remington]

Vitamin B-1
Magnesium
Opti-Zinc
Fish Oil


Edited:

All can be found at Vitamin Shoppe, all are relatively inexpensive.

I went thru a bag.

They do taste good.

Not sure if I noticed any benefit.

Glass Bowls

Everyday, when I leave my house, I take some food with me. Usually, it's oatmeal, fruit, soup, eggs, rice, beans, stew, etc. These bowls are essential. Make sure it has a strong lid.

Glass Bottles

I also carry one or two of these in my car and my laptop bag. For tea and water.

.

Vapor Pen

Because smoking is one of the worst things you can do for your health. I prefer to "steam" or vaporize my herb.

Salad Spinner

I hate "wet" lettuce or greens. After I rinse them, I like to dry them.

Fish

Fresh and wild caught.

Wild Rice

The more wild the better.

Peppers

Chili peppers, bell peppers, hot peppers, etc. All colors and variety.

Hell yea man, the salad spinner is awesome to have. Eat salad every night with dinner and always use that spinner. Quick way to dry off lettuce without trying to sponge it with a paper towel or cloth.

Spices: Cinnamon

Sticks or powder?

 

[Kangaroo]

Zinc
Magnesium
Vitamin C
Metamucil
ACV

 

[Basil Ransom]

"Sticks or powder?"

As a wise man once said, ditch the sawdust. Just kidding - if you can grind it at home, get the sticks, but it can be hard to grind it with home appliances fine enough - I think it depends on which species of cinnamon you have. Get the cinnamon in plastic bags, not the bottles - it's fresher and cheaper.

A couple other health foods:

Kimchi - promotes healthy gut flora - same for fermented vegetables. Similar to yogurt in that respect.

Bone Broth

Seaweed - for iodine.

Ha.

Although that was more for Fresh Herbs ie basil etc.

Thanks.

Never been a fan of kimchi, but yes probiotic cultures are supposed to be very good for you, I was taking a "probiotic supplement" for a while, but as far as healthy foods that contain it, you can't go wrong with Greek yoghurt.

I'm sure most of you guys are already hip to this, because Greek yoghurt has been a big trendy healthy food fad, but it's really good stuff, low fat, very high protein, and packed with probiotics. Really, I'm not that into the taste of the Greek stuff, so I go for locally produced goat and sheep's milk yoghurt that are mixed with fruit (strawberry, blackberry, etc.), tastes amazing.

Also, I don't think kombucha has been mentioned on here, it's really big with groovy, health concious hippy types, and also is full of beneficial bacteria. I just recently started drinking some because the brand Reed's which makes badass ginger brews just started making kombucha with spring water and good flavors like hibiscus and ginger.

Being a health nut and eating healthy foods like goji berries, kombucha, wild caught Alaskan salmon, etc. isn't cheap, but I believe it's a worthy investment for one's long term health and vitality.

Sunflower seeds are estrogenic.

I have fish oil, vitamin d3, magnesium, zinc, spirulina tablets, creatine (probably the only muscle gainer that's got actual science supporting it's effectiveness - even so I don't use it very often).

All my whey protein is mixed with cocoa powder and cinnamon for mass antioxidants.

The juicer does everything else.

 

[iknowexactly]

I'm so exhausted from my bizarre prison gig I can't cook. Only a couple more months and my emergency Philippines fvckfest fund will be filled.

MetRx protein powered and almond milk shakes, green stuff powder ( all available at Trader Joes, salmon oil, zinc, vit D,
multi, st johns wort for mood, lots of nuts ( I can buy them in convenience stores on way to work) not enough liquids (no soda machines or leaving work during shift)

A big thing I 've got to do is drink more water. Second most important nutrient after air.

Recently, I added Shroom Tech Immune while sick - which boost the immune system. It's been advertised on Joe Rogan's podcast with Alpha Brain. It's got zinc, rishi mushroom, eccinachia and a bunch of good stuf.

On some days I add PAGG - as seen in the 4-hour body.

Pills or liquid?

Which brand?

How has this worked for you?

*Sea vegetables (kelp, dulse)

Pills?

Or eating kelp?

Where are you buying it?

The kelp that I use has been dried and granulated--crumbled into small flakes about the size of coarse sea salt. It's sold in a shaker. I generally sprinkle it over salads and other dishes. You can get it in larger leaves also.
We get the dulse as whole "leaves." They come in a bag. You can also get this in the shaker.
The company is called Maine Coast Sea Vegetables.

I usually get them from some places like Whole Foods, Jimbo's, or Ocean Beach People's Co-Op.

 

[Giovonny]

Coconut cream

How do you make this..???

Or, what brand do you use???

Thanks

Ocean Beach People's Co-Op.

This must be San Diego.

There used to be a fish taco stand in the parking lot of a grocery store a few blocks from the beach. I think it was one block south of Santa Monica ave.

Is is still there???
