Wellness Wednesday for November 9, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

@OracleOutlook Any updates on that Potato/potassium supplementation diet thing from last month? Curious to see if anyone here has seen any results.

I'm pregnant so I don't think I'm getting the kind of results you are looking for. But I'm healthy, baby is healthy as far as anyone can tell. I no longer want my morning cup of coffee, instead I drink a herbal tea/potassium chloride mix and feel awake and energetic. I think I needed more potassium in my diet and this is a cheap and easy way to get it.

I spoke with my doctor before doing anything. Enteric-coated potassium tablets seem to be the biggest concern. I'm getting 60mg/100 ml which is a pretty diluted dose.
