Mientras se juega el Mundial de la FIFA, un francotirador de "Israel" asesinó de un disparo a Saleem Al-Ashqar, portero profesional de la Primera División Palestina, de 32 años, mientras intentaba conseguir agua para su mujer embarazada, en el sur de Gaza.
Más de 1.000 atletas palestinos han sido asesinados por "Israel" desde octubre de 2023... sin embargo, FIFA y UEFA se niega a expulsar a "Israel" de sus competiciones.
@bryan_johnson Hi @bryan_johnson pre-industrial human were sleeping in two periods ("first" and "second" sleep) separated by midnight wakefulness, or paired a shorter nighttime sleep with a daytime nap(Siesta method).
which one is more beneficial for longivity(monophasic or biphasic sleep)?
Onore a questi uomini straordinari.
Dopo ore passate a scandagliare il buio a profondità estreme alle Maldive, cercando i corpi di chi non c'è più, la loro missione non finisce in superficie. Li aspetta un altro isolamento forzato, chiusi dentro una camera iperbarica per smaltire la decompressione.
Questo non è solo un lavoro. È dedizione assoluta. È rispetto profondo per la vita e per le famiglie delle vittime. Hanno un coraggio da leoni e un cuore immenso.
Grazie per quello che fate. Veramente onore a voi. #maldive #VaavuAtoll

This is Abdul Rahman Mohamed from Malé, popularly known as "Ban'deyri". He was a well-known figure in the country’s history, famous for pulling his book cart through the streets of Malé and selling rare books, particularly religious books. His unique call as he sold books was once a familiar and cherished part of the Malé's cultural heritage. May God have mercy on him! Aameen.
Coffee is one of the only drinks with strong evidence that benefits the liver. Here's what decades of research actually says about how to drink it right:
Coffee genuinely lowers liver disease risk.
Meta-analyses show regular drinkers have about 35% lower risk of significant liver fibrosis and nearly 50% lower risk of liver cancer compared with non-drinkers.
Aim for 2–3 cups a day, minimum.
The effect is dose-dependent. The Hepatology socities such as AASLD and EASL says 3 or more cups daily is reasonable for liver benefit, if you tolerate it.
Caffeinated works better than decaf.
But decaf still helps.
Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors that drive liver scarring. Decaf lowers chronic liver disease risk too, just by a smaller margin (UK Biobank, n=494,585).
The target dose: ~300 mg caffeine/day, or 3 cups.
Fibrosis protection kicks in around the 75th percentile of intake, roughly 308 mg caffeine, or 2.25 cup equivalents, per day - the AASLD 2023 advises 3+ cups for liver benefit.
What a "cup" actually means
One standard cup = 240 ml (8 oz), not a 60 ml tiny Indian "cup." A 240 ml filter coffee has ~95–165 mg caffeine. A single espresso shot (30 ml) has only ~60–75 mg.
Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:15 to 1:17.
For filter/drip/pour-over: 15 g of ground coffee to 250 ml water. This is the standard brewing ratio and gives clean extraction of chlorogenic acids and caffeine.
Choose medium roast, not dark.
Medium roast has significantly higher chlorogenic acid (CGAs) content than dark roast. Dark roasting thermally degrades CGAs, the main antioxidant doing liver work.
Arabica beats Robusta.
Arabica beans are richer in CGAs and polyphenols, the antioxidants doing most of the liver-protective work.
A note here:
Arabica for polyphenols, Robusta for caffeine.
Arabica (1.5% caffeine) has more CGAs and polyphenols. Robusta (2.7% caffeine) has more caffeine but a cruder phenolic profile. A 70:30 Arabica-Robusta blend is a reasonable compromise.
Water temperature: 92–96°C.
Just off a rolling boil. Too hot (>96°C) burns the grounds and extracts bitter compounds; too cool (<90°C) under-extracts CGAs and caffeine.
Grind size matters.
Medium grind (table-salt texture) for filter/drip. Coarse for French press. Fine for espresso. Brew time: 3–4 minutes for pour-over, 4 minutes for French press, 25–30 seconds for espresso.
Filtered coffee is the safest daily choice.
Paper filters trap cafestol and kahweol, naturally present plant diterpenes that raise LDL cholesterol if consumed daily in large amounts. Pour-over (V60, Kalita, Melitta) or drip machines with paper filters give you CGAs and caffeine without the cholesterol penalty.
Espresso and French press: fine, but not unlimited.
They retain more polyphenols but also more diterpenes (so more chances of increased lipids). Great occasionally; don't make them your 5-cups-a-day default if you have high cholesterol or heart disease.
South Indian filter coffee: acceptable, with caveats. The metal filter does not remove diterpenes as well as paper, so limit to 1–2 cups/day if you have dyslipidemia. The decoction itself is rich in CGAs. Use less sugar. Skip condensed milk.
BUT ULTIMATE: Drink it black. Or close to it.
Sugar, syrups, flavored creamers and whipped cream cancel the liver benefit, especially if you already have fatty liver, diabetes, or obesity. Skim milk or unsweetened plant milk is fine.
Instant coffee: still works.
UK Biobank (n=494,585) showed instant coffee drinkers had similar reductions in chronic liver disease as ground coffee drinkers. Not as potent, but far better than no coffee.
Cold brew: underrated for the liver.
Medium roast + coarse grind + 6–7 hours at room temperature extracts CGAs and caffeine efficiently with lower bitterness. pH and CGA content are comparable to hot brew.
Timing.
Spread across the day. one at breakfast, one mid-morning, one early afternoon. Stop by 2 pm if you have insomnia.
It helps across almost every major liver disease.
Evidence supports benefit in fatty liver (MASLD), alcohol-related liver disease, hepatitis B and C, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
The mechanism isn't magic, it's chemistry.
Chlorogenic acid cuts oxidative stress and liver fat. Caffeine inhibits stellate cell activation (that promotes scarring or fibrosis). Melanoidins and polyphenols reduce inflammation.
Who should go easy.
Pregnancy, children, those with uncontrolled heart rate and rhythmn issues (arrhythmias), panic disorder, or insomnia.
And no, coffee does not undo a bad diet or bad choice - such as alcohol, herbal supplement or that Ayurvedic "liver tonic."

some folk beg the govt to keep their child alive while the well off go to europe or singapore for casual health check ups. some beg for a roof over their heads while others purchase their 3rd or 4th "investment property". students drown in debt, resorts get rent forgiveness.
Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.
