You know what is also religious trauma???
Being told by your own atheist father as a small child that when you die there is nothing else, you simply and forever cease to exist.
The sheer panic kept me up at night. It made my heart and mind race. It was devastating to me to be told such a thing, and it was also devastating, and objectively harmful to believe it for years.
I mean, after all, what exactly is the point if there is no point?
Prediction: we are just a few years away from seeing the dark side of protein overconsumption.
And it will show up as an epidemic of poor kidney health.
-high-protein meals make your kidneys filter harder
-that extra pressure damages the kidneysβ ability to filter over time
-chances of developing kidney disease go up
-the body becomes more acidic
-when kidneys are weak, protein can speed up their decline
How to protect your kidneys?
-eat more apples, oranges, strawberries, carrots, and spinach
-swap meat for lentils, beans, and nuts
-drink enough water + squeeze fresh lemon to block kidney stones
-sip kidney-friendly herbs like stinging nettle or dandelion tea
Take care of your body, friends.
This is the only one youβve got π
