When doing any #exercise the first mistake one observes is bad form.

Then once form is in place, one observes half reps (unless this was the intention) instead of full range of motion.

Once that is resolved, next is time under tension. One can do the one rep quick but not controlled.

And all this is excluding weight, if adding weight prior to the third resolve is a disaster waiting to happen.

Why is it that it is easier to watch content over just listen to it?

Is it due to the fact that we are engaging more senses. Or does the context of the information also matter like story vs a talk.

Let's assume that providing content as a story is the easiest way to fathom information, then with today's technology it wouldn't be that far fetched to convert every boring matter into an exciting story.

There are two extended versions of BRAT: BRATT (Banana, Rice, Apple, Toast, Tea) and BRATTY (Banana, Rice, Apple, Toast, Tea, Yoghurt).

The extension with tea is understandable as an introduction of hydration and micro nutrients. Whereas with yoghurt one is introducing a probiotic to reduce the duration of the symptoms.

The additional benefit of yoghurt is that one can produce a complete diet especially considering vitamin B12 and protein. Though these both depend on the base for the yoghurt and if its fortified.

Protein quantity wise one is usually better off with toast which on average has 4g per slice (25g). In comparison yoghurt has a quarter of it for the same amount.

A revisited version is the CRAM diet which consists of Cereal, Rice, Apples, Milk. This one covers the dehydration issue and with fortification of both milk and cereal can also create a complete diet.

Obviously if one is not accustomed to milk, then one should avoid it.

And it is quite questionable if cereal is the best option, because of its typical ultra-processed nature. Also it is quite difficult to minimize the various options out there.

Additionally, if muesli is permitted as a cereal, then this opens the gate to basically all fruits and vegetables, which would equate to almost eating plant-based.

Although CRAM is generally considered better as BRAT, one should question if any of these diets choices work.

The BRAT diet was originally recommended when dealing with vomiting or diarrhea. This diet consists of Banana, Rice, Apple, Toast.

The idea behind the diet is that the blandness from the food would reduce and/or revert the issue.

As of the 21st century it isn't recommended anymore because it is an incomplete diet, especially in regards of hydration and electrolytes.

The #Minds social media has finally achieved one of their features federation and it federates with the #fediverse.

Some things are not congruent among the ecosystems like in Minds one is rewarded for daily engagement. Plus there are up/down votes, though isn't too much of an issue since other services like #PeerTube or #Lemmy implement this feature.

A simple neck #workout is called "yes, no, maybe".

To perform it, lay on your back and do the head movements of those expressions by lifting your head up from the resting position. The specific movements are:

- Yes: nod your head up and down; one time up and one time down is 1 rep.
- No: rotate your head towards one side and then the other, this is 1 rep
- Maybe: bend at the neck and make your right ear touch your right shoulder, repeat on the other side; once on both sides is 1 rep

The movements are simple, the #WOD not so much. Try to see if you can achieve 3 sets of 5 reps.

One claim I love people making is that #alcohol and #caffeine are diuretics and that's why one needs to go more frequent to urinate when getting one's daily buzz.

Don't they realize that they are just guzzling down more liquid and looking for a cop-out. If their claim was true (in the way they imagine it to be), then removing the substance would reduce the frequency substantially.

What do they realize, if one guzzles down multiple pints of liquid (unless heavily dehydrated with electrolytes) quickly, then quite quickly one will get the urge to urinate.

Don't get me wrong, alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, though barely ever does one take them in their raw form. Usually they are infused in liquid, where many scientists agree upon that the amount liquid is sufficient enough to counteract the diuretic effects.

Wondering if there is a correlation between the quality of #sleep and how messed up the bed is when waking up. Further considering the thickness and ease of folding of a cover and how it would skew the results.

Considering one had a weighted blanket, which by design is made to be difficult to move around or fold. Would this blanket be a good identifier or would one need to have at least one blanket sheet that any slight jolt would make a crease.

We live in the age of #SmartHome,s and to maximize the benefits of heat, got myself a Bluetooth thermostat. (WiFi smart home devices are too sketchy considering most hardware and/or software is closed source.)

The self programming of the temperature of the device can aid with the circadian rhythm and thereby trigger onset of sleepiness and wakefulness.
