FASTING\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFasting is a big proponent in making your body heal itself. It\u0026rsquo;s the reason you don\u0026rsquo;t want to eat when you are sick as your body to heal itself through autophagy and limit exposure to the same things that got you sick in the first place. Fasting, especially extended fasting(2 to 5 days or more) has been shown to clean up the body and remove harmful substances. It has also been shown to increase human growth hormone and testosterone which are vital in making you feel and look younger.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want to first limit your intake of calories by limiting your eating window. A good way to do this is to practice Intermittent Fasting(IF) which specifies that you fast for 18 hours and then eat within a 6-hour period. What this means is that you begin eating at 12 or 1 pm and then stop at 5 pm or 6 pm respectively. By doing so every day, your body gets into a fasted state hence boosting those growth hormones.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA better way to do this is actually by eating only one meal a day sometimes commonly referred to as OMAD. This ensures that aside from your eating time, you are always in a fasted state. This style also follows the IF eating style by ensuring you can only start eating your meal between 1 pm and 6 pm.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my opinion, OMAD is the best. All you need to do is create a system where you make sure each meal is packed with nutrients especially proteins and fats(avocado, olive, naturally occurring, animal). Proteins will ensure you feel satieted throughout your day plus they will help build key compounds e.g collagen responsible for better skin. My number one recommendation for protein is animal protein, especially from grass-fed cows and free-range goats, chicken e.t.c. Take into account eggs as well.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also schedule a weekly or monthly fasting period where you fast from 32 hours all the way to 72 hours which will promote AutoPhagy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"2-diet\"\u003e2. DIET\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour diet will dictate how effective fasting will be. You need to ensure you are eating some version of the Paleo Diet with plenty of meat. Some of the things you can include in this that will boost the reverse aging process include bone broth, connective tissue, and eggs. These have high amounts of compounds that will ensure your body is getting enough of what it needs to heal and repair itself.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are the basics:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEat\u003c/strong\u003e Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, healthy fats, and oils.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid\u003c/strong\u003e Processed foods, sugar, soft drinks, grains, most dairy products, legumes, artificial sweeteners, vegetable oils, margarine, and trans fats.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"3-exercise\"\u003e3.

It\u0026rsquo;s a multistep zap.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere\u0026rsquo;s the low down.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes this blog\u0026rsquo;s feed, extracts the post URL, and then feeds it into Zapier\u0026rsquo;s URL shortener which then shortens the URL, passes it to the Email by Zapier which then email\u0026rsquo;s me the shortened URL with buttons for sharing the new short URL.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt\u0026rsquo;s a simple thing yet so  intriguing,\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZap apps used:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSS by Zapier(can be replaced with other stuff like Netlify or google docs etc)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrl Shortener by Zapier\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmail by Zapier(can be replaced with Gmail or your email provider of choice)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have 2 free workarounds.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a zap that extracts the feed post URL and adds it to Google Sheets, 1st column, which then using scripts, shortens the URL and places it next to the long URL, column 2. After this, create another zap that takes the shortened URL from column 2 and sends it to Gmail with readily placed share buttons.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis follows a similar method as the first but branches off in that after the short URL is in the sheet, you can now make multiple zaps pulling that short URL then sending it to social media e.g twitter, facebook, Linkedin, etc\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n","date_published":"2021-06-17T08:00:00+03:00","image":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/images/afiussg.webp","tags":["Architecture"]},{"id":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/posts/5-places-to-spray-a-fragrance-on-for-a-more-powerful-and-long-lasting-effect/","url":"https://ajulu.netlify.app/posts/5-places-to-spray-a-fragrance-on-for-a-more-powerful-and-long-lasting-effect/","title":"5 Places To Spray A Fragrance On For A More Powerful and Long Lasting Effect","summary":"Hi!

Today I\u0026rsquo;ll teach you hidden body fragrance techniques for a lasting and more powerful effect.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"1-back-of-the-neck\"\u003e1. Back of The Neck\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see anywhere with a lot of veins tend to be slightly warmer than the rest of the body. Spraying the back of your neck with your fragrance of choice is assured to spread more evenly and last longer. Plus every time you enter a room, you\u0026rsquo;ll leave a trail of your fragrance as you walk.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"2-front-sides-of-your-neck\"\u003e2. Front Sides of Your Neck\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpraying here achieves a similar effect only twice as strong because you see the sides of your neck house the Jugular Vein and the Carotid Artery, these are heat centers as warm blood travels up and down the neck. Spraying here means, you can start by smelling high tones, the at the middle of the day mid-tones then finally low tones thanks to the heat.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"3-below-your-palms\"\u003e3. Below your palms\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is another heating zone that can be taken advantage of via spraying perfume on them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"4-chest-area\"\u003e4. Chest Area\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chest contains 2 of the most important organs, the heart, and the lungs. It\u0026rsquo;s also one of the hot areas due to the activity and warm blood.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"5-armpits\"\u003e5. Armpits\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI won\u0026rsquo;t explain this as you are probably already applying some sort of fragrance. I recommend pairing a perfume and a deodorant.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"bonus-6-inside-your-elbows\"\u003eBonus: 6. Inside your elbows\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou see just like the armpits the inside of your elbows pack some heat, spraying here is beneficial.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"bonus-7-your-hair\"\u003eBonus 7: Your Hair\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere\u0026rsquo;s a hidden technique known as \u0026ldquo;\u003cstrong\u003eLayering\u003c/strong\u003e\u0026rdquo;, packing a hair spray makes sure 1 Your hair won\u0026rsquo;t smell and 2 there will be a scented bubble all around you.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recommend using a maximum of any 3 of these techniques. Stop wasting perfume by spraying the air then moving to the sprayed area. Do not overapply otherwise you\u0026rsquo;ll come off as obnoxious. Don\u0026rsquo;t use more than 1 perfume for the body unless you know what you are doing. Stop spraying on clothes otherwise, each perfume you use will compound and confuse.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also recommend you try Santa Lucia Fragrance.
