There is no one life either, we've all likely been here countless times as other incarnations, with the ultimate incarnation being the human being who can contemplate its own existence for the purpose of awakening to the truth of its existence.
I really recommend trying that short exercise I posted. If you've ever wondered who you truly are, why am I here, what am I truly, etc., you can have those questions answered right now.

For those wondering what I meant by alpha female, here is one. I just discovered this AMAZING new video featuring the song, "Barracuda" one of the all time kick-ass rock songs from 1977. Watch this woman sing it in her full bloom. Not only is she really pretty and sexy, but she is incredibly charismatic, in the way she moves and her personality as she sings the song.
This was one of my favorite rock songs when I was growing up, and this is an amazing discovery that someone found this video and posted it on youtube, when the band and the song were at the height of their fame. Some people are saying in the comments that this is the best video of a woman led band of all time.

I voted tea, though I drink coffee almost as much. I generally do a half-caffeine version of both.Don't need my ticker beating too fast

Thanks for this I've always like tea and recently started drinking a lot more. Specifically green tea because of all the health benefits I've read everywhere.
I have a kidney disease so I actually did quite a few searches for any side effects or downsides of green tea and couldn't find a one except for the caffeine but they make decaf, so.
Even when I researched after reading your post I couldn't find any info on this. Not until I specifically searched for green tea and aluminum, fluoride. then some things started popping up.
The stuff I found was mostly about china though, Is this a manufacturing thing or is it in all tea? Any links to info would be appreciated.

They sell gutter-oil (cooking oil which is oil created from e.g sewer drains). It's horrific.

I haven't read up about green tea and aluminum, fluoride too much.. this is just me following advice from the people at Longecity (forum where people are "quite" obsessive about health and prolonged life), these people seem to do nothing but scan ncbi.nlm.nih.gov all day to get information.. i'd advice you to search their forum about this topic..

Do you think the forums at "LongeCity - Advocacy & Research for Unlimited Lifespans", run by the "Immortality Institute", might not be the best place to look for sensible advice?

Absolutely, these are people obsessed with health, nootropics and life extension. There's zero tolerance to people with no sources/references to their claims. They are extremely well educated and helpful, had tons of help from there. Been on the forum for some 10+ years now.
Most topics are not about immortality, but there are a few people there interested in that research.

I think that's what you'd call the blind leading the blind. I'd discourage anyone else from joining the conga line.

How is someone "blind" if they are following current research? I'd discourage you from discouraging people, especially so when you have, like always, vague or no arguments.
If you want to dig through current research pubmed is otherwise your friend, it's what's referenced on Longecity..

Well, when I don't bother making a long argument, it's usually because I'm confident that I don't need to waste the Watchers time by spelling out a point I know they can see for themselves.

Goodness, talk about losing contact with the original thread. What a strange direction it all went in eh? Afterall, it's a fairly simple question. There's no need to dictate to others or be a health nazi about our choices. Going back to "everything in moderation" seems cliche, but perhaps it's an appropriate phrase here.
So getting back on topic - during summer I like a soft drink in ice whilst playing games. It's relaxing and a nice way to cool down. A nice juice if chilled is great as well. An energy drink now and again I find is good for immersion and concentration if that's an important element in the gaming experience itself or you're simply wanting to do more faster. I used to call the energy drink "V" my skooma for instance when I played Morrowind.
I don't mind tea or coffee either; but for me they're more for when the weather gets cold. They're also beverages I generally associate more with working and wanting to feel productive, rather than unwinding and having fun.

My preferred drink is lukewarm pee. But only in moderation. To much spoils the wonderful taste. And the health benefits, such as immortality.

Or just do like I do and forget the risk and enjoy yourself. Everyone is going to die, might as well have fun while you live. I'd like to see things on gravestones that say "she didn't drink Coke", or "she was vegan and tried her best". Seriously, discard risk and fear of death and life is way more fun.
Keep your advice on video games and not health please. It's not about living forever, it's about quality of life. I can still play 2 man volleyball at 49 when most my other friends at that age won't even try because they are afraid of injury.

And I did have a breakdown. It was drug-induced, I took too much THC oil and was skyrocketed to the moon and back
. But it was very valuable and showed me a lot of things and was part of the path I'm on, I am thankful it happened.

Ask someone in their 50's or 60's on oxygen and can hardly walk if they should have started smoking.
