Stop consuming sugar and caffeine. Fruits are a great suppliment until your body adjusts. You cannot have an abundance of attention without the fuel to power it. - It was one of the hardest things for me to do.

I second this. Sugar does much more harm to our body than we usually realize. After stopping sugar, my health tremendously improved. But the first few weeks and months of stopping sugar, (I used to consume too much sugar earlier) I noticed the worst possible games my mind can play against me. My mind used to say that it is ridiculous and I am being impractical, childish and what not!. It was a war and I won it. And now I am reaping the benefits. I am able to focus better. I am having better energy and my memory has improved.

How much of that is sunk cost fallacy? Of course you'd feel better

Fruits contain fructose, which is another form of sugar, and not quite good when consumed in large quantities.

Fruits also contain a lot of hard-to-digest fibers. Both the fructose and the fibers taken together are fine.

It's when you refine the fruit (e.g. juice it) that you separate the fiber away and therefore loose the counterbalance. The fiber and relative inconvenience in consuming the fruit also help to regulate the intake. Contrast a tall glass of orange juice, which is about 4-5 oranges minus their fiber, with manually pealing and eating that same number of oranges. One can be gulped under a minute, or maybe a few minutes if you drink it slowly, the other will take quite a while to eat and leave you with a feeling of being full.

That's why if I'm offered juice, I try to sip it slowly.

Where would some blended fruit come in that regard? Would it be still good, or are we losing some fiber benefits?

I doubt this. Anything naturally occurring and has existed for millions of years cannot be bad for us. No matter, what the "research" says.

And if you do want to go by research, please read the works and watch videos of "Robert Lustig" (http://profiles.ucsf.edu/robert.lustig )

Like plutonium?

The difference is, that fruit tends to contain a lot of fiber, which makes the fructose harder and slower to absorb. So fruit is okayish.

However, fruit juice is just sugar water worse for you than Coke, so keep that in mind.

Not sure if satire or not, but plenty of naturally occuring things which existed for millions of years are bad for human beings. Poisonous plants for are an example.

That's right. Here's some hemlock. Eat it. It's all natural and good for you.

Sugarcane is naturally occurring. As are the beets used for producing beet sugars.

Don't Make the decision until after you take a break.

Definitely interesting, but still to early to tell.

It's suggested that out digestive system is strongly linked to our intelligence. One could argue that it could either increase or reduce our capacity to cope. Possibly even change our species or provide use with a new system of organs that would make use depent on a centralized food source.

Truly fascinating stuff!

MagicStack has already taken the initiative. https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg

Still beta, but those postgres numbers are incredible. MagicStack is doing amazing things.

Nice. Need to see more hardware posts here. Please though, improve the depth of the language.

Find something from your childhood that you wanted to do, but didn't because of what ever reason. For me, it was learning Japanese.

Care to chime in with some samples?
