FEED YOUR BRAIN – PART 2
[TTP: This is Part 2 of a series begun on May 28th and picks up right where Part 1 left off. If you haven’t read Part I yet, please do Here. This is an interview with Will Block that was recorded just three months before Skye (Durk Pearson) passed away. Long-time TTPers will recognize Skye’s distinctive voice as he explains how to feed our brains!]
WILL: Moving over to the other two neurotransmitters.
DURK: Noradrenaline is nature’s natural speed. It is your “get up and go” juice. But unlike speed, it doesn’t cause free radical damage that burns out the neurons in your brain. Noradrenaline - if you have enough of it, you’re full of energy, you’re excited, you’re self confident. If you don’t have enough of it…you may be depressed, but you’re certainly going to be having less energy, less drive. You may just lose interest in doing most things.
If you have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and maybe even feel like you’d like to go jump out a window - except it’s too much trouble - chances are you’re suffering from an inadequate supply of noradrenaline.
Now, if you’re seriously depressed you do need to go see a doctor because there are a lot of other things that could be responsible. Such as hypothyroidism or some things that are a lot more complicated like too much cortisol being produced.But in the case of people who are getting older and don’t have the spring to their mental step that they did when they were teenagers, it’s because their noradrenaline levels drop off with age. And noradrenaline also causes the release of neurotrophic factors that help the noradrenergic nerve grow as well. So again, it’s a case of “use it or lose it.”
[As promised in last Friday’s HFR, this Monday’s Archive is Solar Warming, originally published in TTP on September 29, 2005: almost 21 years ago. Think of the trillions of dollars wasted on the hoax of Global Warming aka “Climate Change” since then. Yes, trillions, the greatest scam in human history, which perverted science (the only way a scientist could get a government or NGO grant was to “prove” it with GIGO computer models, never to disprove it which is the essence of real science), when it was nothing more than an evidence-free rationale to replace a failed Marxism (after the collapse of the Soviet Union) for fascist control over everyone’s life.
[TTP: RINOs are getting slaughtered in Texas, Mamdani is sending the police forth to actually police NY’s streets, and POTUS has passed his latest health assessment with flying colors – this is a good day to take a break from politics and take a gander at the great unknown.]
Cleaning out the attic, I recently came across my daughter’s first pair of walking shoes. They were the white leather real tie-up shoes where a parent had to actually tie the laces so the child’s foot would be securely held inside the shoe.
Reuters reported this week that virtually all major oil refineries in central Russia have been forced to halt or scale back fuel output after Ukrainian drone strikes. The affected plants represent more than 83 million metric tons of annual refining capacity — roughly one quarter of Russia’s total — and account for more than 30 percent of Russian gasoline and about a quarter of its diesel.
For the last year and a half, Americans have been slammed with politics to the point that it has made vast numbers of people nearly crazy.
People who are extroverts – people who are more sociable, who like to be out, talk, and interact with other people, and who gladly put themselves out into new situations – tend to be happier than people who are not.
