I went through something pretty similar once, just with a bit of a scratchy throat... garlic actually ended up clearing it right up for me. 😁

What’s the actual difference between slow-digesting proteins like casein and standard whey?

For instance, does it really matter if I swap out casein for whey mixed with milk in the morning when it comes to absorption rates? Let’s say my college schedule keeps me busy from 8 AM until 3 PM. If I grab some eggs and milk with a scoop of whey at around 7 AM, and then just settle for one or two sandwiches later in the day, would switching to casein for breakfast make a noticeable difference in my overall results—specifically regarding muscle growth and general body composition?

Since this thread is getting pretty active, I figured I’d just go ahead and ask you something.

Is there actually any real difference between different brands of glutamine? I’m looking at one from a brand like Thorne $53 that goes for about $30 for a half-kilo, and then there are others priced around $400 for the same amount.

Maybe try leaning more heavily into vegetables, fruits, and whole grains for a bit, and perhaps take a short break from your usual protein intake

Roughly how long is a 1kg tub of whey going to last me if I'm hitting the gym three times a week and keeping my diet pretty dialed in?

Also, should I be taking whey every single day, or is it better to just stick to the days I actually work out?

What’s everyone’s take on MuscleTech proteins? I’ve heard some people swear by them, while others seem to think they aren't all that great.

thanks

ah, thanks, but I was just speaking in general terms

I wasn't quite sure where to direct this question, so I figured I'd just ask here, assuming nobody minds 😁

Here's the deal; are you allowed to use strikes from something like karate in Muay Thai, kickboxing, or similar stand-up combat sports (assuming they aren't strictly prohibited, like elbows in certain kickboxing leagues), or are the strikes required to follow specific "official" technical rules?

I went to a private clinic recently to get some bloodwork done using a specific method where they just take a tiny drop from your fingertip and examine it under an electron microscope. It’s actually quite fascinating to see the actual shapes of the cells. Basically, if your cell structures look significantly damaged, it can be a sign of high stress levels, and in certain cases, it might even point toward cancer—though I’m not entirely sure how they differentiate the specific types of malignancy through that method. You can also spot things like cholesterol crystals, bacteria, and other various elements right there on the slide.

Honestly, after about $133 hours of laser hair removal, you can just consider the whole thing handled forever. I really don't see why anyone would think that's a complicated process. 🙂

1. You actually posted this in the wrong section; you should probably head over to the "UFC" subforum under the main "Sports" category instead.
2. I think you have some property or something located somewhere near the Mississippi, though I can't say for sure exactly where.

How old are you now? I used to get this sensation all the time when I was a kid—maybe around ten years old. It would just be this sudden, sharp tightness right around my heart area, and then it would vanish just as quickly. Apparently, there’s a specific muscle near the heart that can do that...

I felt the exact same way, it’ll pass 😉 ...

... as soon as you stumble upon some other health issue 😁

It isn't, really. If you're skeptical about whether exorcisms actually exist or if they even work, you should probably just sit down and watch an actual investigation procedure...

Hi there

It happens to me quite frequently, especially during the summer months, where my throat gets this constant stinging sensation. It feels as though post-nasal drip😁 is just draining straight down from my nose into my throat.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable way to deal with that stinging feeling?

Oh, I should mention that it's particularly intense right when I wake up in the morning—before I've had a chance to eat or drink anything. Once the day gets moving, the sensation gradually starts to fade away...

Is that really not possible here in the US?

Actually, I feel like they’re constantly running commercials for the Sun clinic on TV.

I think you might have to go under the knife

Do a little digging online—hint: look up gynecomastia. You should be able to find plenty of solid medical info on some decent American health sites

So, how did the checkup go? 😁

Did they actually perform an exam on you, or was it just a quick consultation?

I’ve had a few close calls where I felt like I was about to pass out, but I managed to react quickly enough every single time to avoid actually collapsing.

Whenever it starts happening, my vision goes white and there’s this ringing in my ears—it feels like a sudden wave of panic. When that hits, my go-to move is to just lie down immediately. It really works, and you start feeling better pretty fast. To be safe and make sure it doesn't happen again, I find it best to stay lying down for at least five minutes, though most people feel a sense of relief after just 30 seconds. If there's a door nearby, I'll also try to step outside for some fresh air.

These people are the absolute best when it comes to complaining about AC. They’ll tell you air conditioning is toxic or whatever, but honestly, sitting in this heat is three times worse for you than being in an air-conditioned room—especially if the unit is actually a decent, high-quality model.

"When you walk out of a warm room into an air-conditioned one, your blood vessels constrict suddenly, and that's where the health risk lies."...Give me a break. I mean, what if you're standing on a beach in the middle of summer, it's 122°F, and you jump into water that's 78°F? What kind of massive temperature shift is that supposed to be?
