does growing up manlnourished stunt both your body and mind?

I existed of peanut butter n white bread sandwhiches. mcdoubles and cans of spaggettios up until about 18 when my diet slowly started to expand. at 25 i eat a pretty healthy, (still limited) diet but no matter how much i work out i max out at 5'8" 165lbs, and i feel pretty dumb.

does growing up malnourished also affect the development of your brain?

does it also afffect, susceptability to injury, rate of recovery and rate of aging? rate of maturity?

>> No.4397671

Of course it does.

>> No.4397697

so i am inferior?

Inferior to what you would have been with a proper diet, yes. Your potential was less fulfilled than it could have been.

No change of diet is going to point out to you where the shift key is, unfortunately.

I'm wondering this too. When I was a kid my parents allowed me to be ridiculously picky (as in.... eating nothing but chicken nuggets and biscuits) and never forced me to eat anything else. It wasn't until age 14 that I ate my first fucking vegetable. I eat normally now but fuck you, parents. They just saw it as a benefit to them because they never had to cook, lazy bastards.

mental knowledge and instinct are two different things, my body sometimes cries for vegetables, but most of the time it wants nothing but salt fat and savory stuff, and carbs. (ironically I have an aversion to sweets for some reason though.)

OP the best thing to do is to make something where you'll eat a lot of vegetables and find them delicious. because of the other ingredients. for example, next time instead of making mash potatoes and gravy with some vegies on the side, dice those onions and brussle sprouts and mix them in with your potatoes and gravy. next time you have creamy alfrado, pour in the pees carrots onion and or asparagus instead of just chicken. next time you go for prime rib use a sharp nice and slice it in half, slip in something green like a sandwich and a little bit of your potato gravy. Make lots of delicious soups which are savory, and load them with lentils beans and veggies. make some okonomiyaki, its got delicious mayo and semi sweet savory sauce, and meat, but the bulk of it? a ton of cabbage in batter. want a hot dog? make one with your favorite condiments and instead of leayering in the condiments, dice up some onion or pico de gao and mix in the condiments like a wet salid, and apply it to your dog.

>> No.4397807

>>4397790

Salt, fat, and savory stuff isn't inherently unhealthy. Cook with a lot of tomatoes and olive oil and you'll satisfy your cravings while remaining healthy. As for carbs, you damned well better be eating them, they're supposed to compose 80% of your caloric intake. Pick up delicious apples, bananas, mangoes, peaches, etc and snack on them

olive oil has a fruity taste i dont care for, and to get real uncut nonmafia olive oil costs more money than I have. I think i'll stick to cheaper oils sorry.

>> No.4397882

>>4397868
You can get non-mafia olive oil if you purchase from any country other than Italy or Spain, especially. Greece has some problems with this, too, but not as bad as back home and Spain.
I was wondering why olive oil in the US tasted like crap, then learnt about this whole mob-involvement thing, so I specifically buy olive oil from Turkey, North Africa and, occasionally, Greece and the Balkans. Pretty cheap, at $10USD for 3 litres, and quality just as good as back home.
Again: avoid Italian and Spanish olive oil if you don't live in Spain or Italy.

10% fat, 10% protein, 80% carbs. That's the accepted healthiest human diet for the average man. Carbs are the body's main energy source, they should most definitely be the main thing you eat. Your trillions of cells all need glucose every second of every day to function

My Mother's friend had a son that my and my brother used to play with. He was always short and very skinny, way shorter than either of us and he was the same age as my younger brother. When they were 15 he seriously still looked like a 10 year old, like puberty hadn't hit yet. idk if maybe he was just late bloomer, our Mothers had a bitchy falling out about a year later and we never saw him again.

We discovered when we went to his house for dinner that he only ate slices of white bread with butter and drank either UHT milk or cheap "fruit drink" cordial. His Mother was so excited we came over, she made pizza, base and all but he just ate two slices of bread with butter and nothing else. His sisters ate whatever the Mother made, although I did not see a single piece of fruit or a vegetable in that house apart from onions.

Don't let your kids be picky eaters. It will fuck their bodies over.

The dutch were known as a short people

Then they started drinking milk

The dutch are now the tallest of people

But there is a documentary, Rauw about a family of raw foodists. The child is very undersized and weak.

So we see nutrition working both ways with the dutch. good nutrition = taller
poor nutrition = shorter

Because of the ever increasing rate of obesity, on average girls keep entering puberty earlier and earlier.

AHAHAHA! Perhaps, but not a digestible one. That's the point of fiber.

Actually, according to recent research, protein, carbs and fat should provide roughly equal portions of our daily energy uptake. At 2000 calories per day, an average of 400 calories/100 g for carbohydrates and protein and 900 calories/100 g for fats this translates to a diet consisting of about 165 grams of both carbohydrates and protein and 75 grams of fat.

I ate very little and very unhealthy, and I'm 6'2' with a proper body, health, and mind. I think malnourishment affecting development is an issue affecting poor countries rather than developed ones, since no matter how poor you are, you'll never eat as badly as any given person in a shitty african country, and even there, a lot of them live out their potential.

One thing that can affect you a lot is a lack of Omega-3, which most modern countries suffer from. Your omega-3 to omega-6 balance should be 5:1 minimum. An average person has a balance of 15:1 from eating too little fish.
