Definitely. I take 1000iu a day of a Vitamin D3 supplement after breakfast. (Have for a few years now) Really picks you up, makes you sleep better, good for your skin etc. A lot of benefits. I take 6000iu a day, but you have to combine it with magnesium, omega 3 and zinc for it to work properly

Maybe for 10 years, but before I had days and even months without lighting a cigarette. I became real smoker maybe two years ago. Although, I am smoking light cigarettes and running 10km every day or cycling 20,30,40,50...km and plus doing million other things.
I was like, doctor, there must something wrong with me, I don't stop all day, I smoke more than a pack and drink bottle of wine almost every night.
But there is nothing wrong, everything is absolutely perfect, it was just anxiety.
And now I am scared to change anything when this kind of life is working perfectly :-)

Although, I would drop the alcohol. A pack a day and a bottle of wine a day is pretty excessive and will make you age badly.

Dunno why.

I started seeing psychotherapist in November I think and I didn't drink anything for months, not even a glass of wine, nothing, because I was taking some pills (fuck them, never again). Although that was really small dose and even therapist said that I could have drink or two and it is ok, I stayed disciplined. That's why I hate all this corona bullshit because that's what they did to me before pandemic with their news about every person in the world dying or getting sick. Footballer died in South Africa, he was super healthy before, basketball player died in Nigeria... But that's another story I am probably going too far with my vengeance. What type of intermittent fasting do you use? I just recently read about autophagy and realise that I am actually living like that without even forcing myself to do that. I eat dinner at 7pm and don't eat anything after that, I just don't need it and in the morning I do some work, go for a run or something and eat breakfast around noon or 1pm :-) So, I was using that 16:8 type of intermittent fasting without even knowing.

Dunno why. General consensus is it is due to a healing response as your body needs more sleep to rebuild or recover from whatever “repairs” are happening. You need to pair it with other vits and minerals to get the full benefits though. 1000-3000iu isnt that much really, and you can always cycle it, a few weeks on and off

And I am glad that we open this topic, I am 100% sure that it is more useful in battle against COVID than all the scary informations that we are reading. We should talk now more than ever about diet and excersise and not hide under our beds and waiting for all to stop. What if it never stops?

I also suffer from psychological issues, so I understand how addiction and anxiety can take over your life. My advice would be to not rely on drugs prescribed by doctors for any mental health issues. They wont fix anything, and will most likely make them worse. Look into magnesium and other natural remedies, as research shows they work better than antidepressants and the cause of your problems may be from an imbalance. Also, dont worry about corona. Most people here will disagree with me, but the media are trying to scare you. This 'virus' will not kill you and dont believe anything the mainstream media tells you. Do your own research from alternative sources. I fast for at least 16 hours a day, sometimes 20. Another bullshit lie people try to push on you, is that you need to eat multiple meals all day. Fair enough if you're an athlete or bodybuilder or something, but for most of us it isnt necessary. If you eat sugar and carbs all day then you're gonna be hungry all day.

Why does the government and media never tell us to improve or immunity through vitamins, diet, exercise etc? The solution to them is just drugs and vaccines.

This is how I looked when I did 23:1 intermittant fasting. But I lost too much weight and it isnt really sustainable. How long did you do that for?

It takes me about three weeks or so to get there. I only do it if I have a video shoot coming up, my body doesnt naturally stay that way, as soon as i change what i eat I pile weight back on.

I take 6000iu a day, but you have to combine it with magnesium, omega 3 and zinc for it to work properly Magnesium is amazing. Most people have at least slight magnesium deficiency so it's good to supplement it. Another thing I've noticed to have a clear positive effect is taurine in combination with NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine, which is an antioxidant that helps to balance glutamate levels). Although I've mainly used NAC to counter the negative effects from drug use (it improves liver health and protects from neurotoxicity), I've still noticed this lift from anxiety and depression which is very welcoming. e. Vitamin D3 is great too. Very important to you and most people have deficiency even if you live in a sunny place.

Thanks, I'll look into NAC. I've tried taurine which made me feel good for a while, but the effects wore off. I'm still trying to fix the damage from a crystal meth addiction a few years ago, which has left me with persisting anxiety and panic attacks. Did you have any side effects from NAC?

NAC was actually used in a study to search for neuroprotective effects against methamphetamine damage and the results were really positive. I've used it because I've been stupid with MDMA use which is technically a methamphetamine too so I thought the neuroprotective effects should be similar. I haven't personally noticed any negative effects but some people report a small brain fog. But I'm naturally quite anxious and overthinking so for me the "brain fog" might even be a positive thing because it means it quiets my mind a bit. I wouldn't say I've noticed any brain foggy effects though, just calmer feeling.

I've read some people have had shortness of breath and trouble breathing taking it, so I think I'll give it a miss just in case. I wish they would just make weed legal here, it's the only thing that makes me calm.

Fair enough if you're an athlete or bodybuilder or something, but for most of us it isnt necessary. If you eat sugar and carbs all day then you're gonna be hungry all day. I don't worry about corona because I've been through it all before corona shit even started. They did to me what are they doing now to the whole world. I don't use drugs for anxiety for months and never will again. Worst months in my life, I think that it would be better if I was on heroin. I know how they work and it's just not good, they are killing you as person. And therapist was always insisting that there is nothing wrong physically with me and that I should not see doctor. But I went anyway, after few months sadly and full body checkup helped me more than months of therapy. I knew what I wanted, not to think about my health, smoke when I want, drink when I want, cycle or run when I want, have sex all night long if I want, go to the countryside and work like a dog and renovate my house... I thought that it is not possible, but I guess that it is. I went two times today for a bike ride, I have no idea what's happening but I am faster and can ride longer than everyone else without getting tired. And I smoke before and after every ride :-) Never cough, nothing. I have always believed that physical and mental health are connected. I mean, it's proven, I don't need to believe it, but I was scared when I started to think about diseases because that's what I never did in my whole life and guess what, nothing ever happened to me. I mean literally nothing, not a single broken bone, I have cold maybe once in two or three years. I mean, just look at Gallaghers and what they did in 90s and they are fine today. During police curfew, I have installed fucking Tinder, which I thought that I never would. And when it came to meeting girls, I was like, listen, I've been through worst months of my life, I have anxiety, I am bit scared how will I act when we go out. Every but literally every girl said that she also has anxiety and when we went out they were actually worse than me, I was perfectly fine, just had too much time to overthink everything because they locked us down for months and I haven't seen anyone apart from few people for months. Who is talking about that? Everyone is going fucking crazy, I thought I was, but I am mentally better than 99% of population. People will go insane if this continue. That's why I was supporting Novak's tournament. Now he is sorry, for what? He has actually proved that you can organize tournament and that nothing will happen. I mean, literally nothing happened. Someone told them that they have virus but they don't have any symptoms, nothing. Nobody from audience is infected, trust me, they can't wait that someome comes to them with symptoms and says that he was in audience. It would be on all news. So Djokovic is now idiot because absolutely nothing happened, apart from bringing smile back to people faces and donating money from tournament to charity.

Always good to keep adding leafy greens to your diet like spinach, kale etc. All high in magnesium.

I've never used illegal drugs in my life as I never wanted to. I'm on prescribed medication anyway for epilepsy so it's not a good idea. And, that's why I can't even drink alcohol anymore as the instructions say not to so I don't. Anyway I don't miss it as I've been on medication nearly half my life now so I'm used to it.
