Found this video on diets and thought I'd share it. Very interesting outlook on how diets affect us psichologicaly in an way we might not think about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RWMHZkwA3U

Hey, I'm Vid, 17, from Slovenia. Have been in this group for a while now, but I haven't been active. That's why I'm starting now. I'm looking forward to boosting my testosterone, improve my productivity, strength ( I want the one arm pull-ups Alex has, those are crazy ) and grow as a christian man. I'm into self improvement, the gym, martial arts and a big digital minimalist.

Firstly, let's define what a vegetable is. A vegetable constitutes the stems and leaves, for example celery and broccoli (stems) and kale, spinach, lettuce (leaves) A fruit contains seeds, and is the structure that develops from the ovaries of a flowering plant: for example, apples, peaches, grapes, mangoes etc. One common misconception is that fruits are only sweet. There are actually plenty of savory fruits, for example eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, avocados, olives, squash, and bell peppers. Tubers are roots. They’re so dense in nutrients that they literally sprout and sustain their own plants if left unharvested. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, and beets all fall under this category. ---------- Kale was originally grown with the intention of feeding sheep since it is so inexpensive to grow. Farmers were feeding kale to their sheep as an alternate food source, yet they started to realize that lambs were being born with goiter, or basically a swollen and poorly functioning thyroid gland. Researchers experimented with kale on sheep and rabbits with disturbing results. Turns out kale does contain a goitrogen, thiocyanate, which is chemically very similar to deadly cyanide. Some young lambs were stillborn, their brain development stunted by their goiters. The consumption of kale had blocked their thyroid’s ability to function properly even in the presence of proper iodine consumption. Cows grazing on kale transferred its poisons to their milk, affecting the thyroid development of children who drank it and causing an epidemic of goiter in Tasmania. ---------- Vegetables have evolved highly sophisticated natural pesticides and toxin mechanisms specifically to discourage insects and animals from eating them. The chief function of leaves on a plant is to facilitate photosynthesis by absorbing light energy from the sun and carbon dioxide into the stomata from the surrounding atmosphere, which allow the plant to grow and trigger cellular respiration, and it therefore makes perfect sense that a process so vital to the survival of the plant should be protected.

How does one deal with FOMO(Fear Of Missing Out) as a Christian? Most of my Childhood friends right now are going to and hosting parties and I am not because obviously there is going to be a lot of temptation and sinning at these parties but I still get FOMO any tips? This is the main obstacle in my faith in Jesus Christ.
