Disclosure And References

Recently I discussed with a friend about hair loss and ageing so I thought I would share some of my thoughts and resources here. Many issues like hair loss are not always caused by age but instead age-related. Most if not all of what is discussed here will use credited professionals as references so you can do your own research. The purpose of this content is not to shame but rather educate and of course, this is largely based on my own researched opinion and I am not a medically trained professional. Disclosure done.

What is Aging And How We Can Prevent It?

Many years ago I had the fortune of running across a man named Dr Aubrey De Grey and he changed my perception of the ageing process forever so I could react to it better. Ageing is not a chronological issue it is a biological issue a lifestyle issue and a metabolic issue. As Dr Aubrey described it ageing is the accumulation of damage. Unfortunately, a lot of Dr Aubrey De Grey's aka the timelord research is a long way off and scientists like him are not always the best at promoting themselves. However, there are many things that you can do about the ageing process today by addressing it for what it is within the research we already have available to us.

The Most Important factor To Aging Better Is Your Mentality

As we know the Saiyan's are a warrior a race who stay in their primes for longer so they can fight longer, step one to ageing like Saiyan is to distinguish between chronological causation and chronological relation. 

Problems like Arthritis, Alzheimer,  cancer and body aches such as knee and back problems are associated with ageing but can affect people of any age.



Inflammation Control

As the quality of our DNA diminishes one of the major problems is that we become less capable of dealing with inflammation. Consider the causes of unnecessary inflammation within your body and adopt some anti-inflammatory habits.  Tendonitis means inflammation of the tendons Arthritis means joint inflammation. There are children with arthritis and tendonitis this is not age caused by age it is age-related as you get older your body's ability to deal with inflammation suffers.

Consider monitoring the effects of your diet closely for anything causing inflammation you may not be aware of, the usual suspects are processed foods, milk, and anything with ingredients in bold this is a very individual thing I spoke to a personal trainer who would get arthritis in their legs if they ate too much red meat. 

Find foods that reduce inflammation personally, I find fruits, and vegetables are great and chamomile and herbal teas can be more effective. 



Dragon Ball's Hyperbolic Time Chamber Conditions Improves inflammatory Response

Dr Rhonda Patrick is an advocate of extreme heat and extreme cold that's right adopting a hyperbolic time chamber-like approach to extreme temperatures can prolong the ageing process. Extreme heat and cold turn on genes that fight the ageing process, reduce inflammation and naturally elevate growth hormones. 



Alzheimer's disease is heavily under-researched but Saiyan's don't lose their minds even under Babidi's control.

The sauna is one of the things that has been shown to guard against Alzheimer's disease. A Really hot bath up to the neck is almost as effective as the sauna so you can apply this knowledge today.




Vitamin D is another thing that has been shown to guard against Alzheimer's, most of us in the Western hemisphere are deficient. consider the levels of a group of people who live in a care home and or have a hard time moving in general. Their vitamin D levels are over minus 9000. Alzheimer's may correlate with age but not everyone gets it in many cases it may also correlate with lifestyle.

used in dragon ball dragon all z and supr to get stronger due to harsh conditions



Stretching And Strengthening Like Goku Increases Mobility At Any Age
The first time in my life I experienced Knee pain was after I started sitting all day to work. Most Knee, back and ankle problems in ageing are not caused by time per se they are caused by long-term bad habits. If you sit at home and then sit on your travel to work and then you sit mostly at work for say 5 years your body will mould itself and get used to distributing your weight for an unnatural amount of sitting which will manifest in pain somewhere. A lot of people go to the doctor for knee pain or back pain and the doctors cannot find a problem with the knee or back because there is no problem. It does not take a lot to see why it won't take even 5 years for these problems to occur much less the later years of your working life. 


Knees Over Toes Philosophy 
Consider the philosophy of someone far more renowned than me in this subject Knees over-toes guy. His concept is very simple if you have pain it means you are either too tight somewhere or not strong enough somewhere.  You should not avoid Knees Over toes instead you should be strong enough and flexible enough to put knees over toes without injury. I'm working on mobility myself.




Level Up And Regrow Hair
The longest hair I ever saw in my life was when I was in the West Indies, I saw a six-foot man with hair that I'd estimate to be 5 foot 10. When I started losing my hair I did not blame ageing because of my unique perspective that I think the world will eventually adopt. After feeling lethargic I started supplementing vitamin D and like a sensu bean, my energy returned although my hair did not spring up like a super Saiyan 3 my hair loss stopped and If do like TLC said in Creep and keep it on the down low nobody would know. By down low I mean level 1 or lower your barber knows.

Other vitamin deficiencies can also contribute to hair loss. Dr Eric Berg has videos on the subject.  




Is Bald Nappa A Better Look
I may have stumbled across an answer to the first question we ask about Nappa. So what would Nappa look like as a super Sayian?
During my research, I found out that Nappa is not bald by force he shaves his head out of discipline, like Krillin a monk. So I guess his hair could grow like every other Super Saiyan. But would he revert to his original bald state after powering down?


Derick Padula
Anyone more interested in this should check out the link in the references to the website thedaoodragonball.com The website is run by one of the co-creators of the live-action dragon ball Light of Hope, Dereck Padula. 






Hair Healither DHT Levels 
DHT or dihydrotestosterone for long is a powerful form of testosterone that is a major cause of hair loss in some men. 


I have regained most of my hair with secrets  I used to think Nappa would be envious of because of research into natural DHT blockers natural remedies and trial and error. Indians have notoriously long hair perhaps the  Peppers and spices they eat help. Many spices and herbs block DHT and promote hair growth. East Asian men lose their hair less often on average than any other ethnicity I am aware of.  Although the Japanese have the highest rate they also have a stressful work culture. East Asians do tend to drink a lot of herbal teas green tea is a natural DHT blocker and has properties that increase the absorption rate of zinc which is essential for hair growth and another natural DHT blocker.



Dr Eric Berg recommends stinging nettle root, a quality natural DHT blocker. As I mentioned he also promotes vitamins and minerals such as b vitamins to help to guard against monk syndrome.
There are man-made DHT blockers however man-made DHT blockers can have side effects and you may still need some trial and error to be sure of what works best for you. 




Intermittent Fasting Benefits Many Things 
As we age our natural hormone production can go down which can lead to loss of energy and muscle. Saiyans maintain muscle.

I already spoke about the time chamber and diet but what about not eating? Studies in mice have shown that giving them a shorter feeding window results in massive increases in growth hormone and longevity. 
There are dangers involved in intermittent fasting if you have an eating disorder. Personally, I do 16 hours most days and am aiming for 36 hours once a week. Some fasting benefits also include a reduction in inflammation, balancing sugar levels, increased stem cell production and activating genes that fight ageing.
Dr Rhoda Patrick and Dr David are two great sources to learn about fasting and longevity.



Stress Is Good For You
Stress is not an all-or-nothing subject. Discipline, exercise, fasting heat and cold treatment are all forms of stress. The most important thing to ageing well is an effective stress management strategy. Adopting the right kind of stress will help you manage the less generally beneficial forms of stress. For some context, long-term stress depletes vitamin and mineral supplies like zinc and magnesium and increases inflammation. A well-rounded diet will help your body resist resource depletion. 

Certain foods are known to possess adaptogens which help you adapt to dress.



I don't think there is even one on-ship anti-gravity scene in the Dragon Ball series. Without the constant stress of gravity, our muscles deteriorate, astronauts in space are constantly exercising to try to reduce muscle loss in a zero-gravity environment. Stressing the bones through simple tasks like walking and herder tasks like weight lifting makes them stronger. Many old people's bones are brittle due to a myriad of factors and one is lack of stress. 



The way the body adapts to stress allows it to take on more stress. As I mentioned Some foods contain adaptogens, adaptogens help the body adapt to stress.
The aforementioned heat and cold treatments help the body adapt to stress. My overall point is that the way you manage stress will prolong or accelerate the ageing process.
Dr Hubberman has a great podcast on stress management strategies you can apply today, I will link him in the references.
I have cited experts for this content but the most important thing is to have the right attitude towards ageing, you won't look for healthy solutions to problems you see as inevitable.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 2 Critique


 We begin season 2's episode 2 with Geto making and drinking tea. Geto using one sugar could just be personal taste or perhaps it's intentionally boring because he is pretending to be a character motivated by cliches. Or perhaps it's due to his curse technique. Last episode he told us how disgusting curse energy tastes imagine how much worse it would taste after tasting large amounts of sugar. Having something really sweet and then having something bitter or disgusting will enhance the bitterness or disgustingness. I think that's why Geto did not have a sweet cola like Gojo did last episode I think his whole eating and drinking habits are about the bare minimum taste to make food bearable but no more than necessary curse don't taste worse. I will pay close attention to his eating habits from now on anyone else thinks the one sugar tea scene was to intentionally elude to what I am getting at?


Potential For Growth

I don't think any of us could forget the purple hollow that Gojou in season 1 but now we get to see how it came to be. Curse energy is blue and reversal curse energy is red so Purple Hollow is a combination of curse and reverse curse energy. It's nice to see Gojo develop. I think that Geto's fight mirrors Gojo's future. During Geto's fight, his opponent assumed Geto didn't have hands. Geto was aware of his perceived weakness and used it to lure the opponent in. Although Gojo gave us some explanation of how his power works I think the main benefit in his explanation is of how he could progress. He said limitless was exhausting so he is aware of his weakness. They are aware of the bounty so I wonder if like Geto he will lure in the big fish.

I am sure everyone remembers the curse bear training from season 1. I think Gojo may have developed if not at least used the same kind of training to master his own limitless. The bear hits you the second you stop channelling curse energy and in this episode, we see Gojo does not like to be hit at all.


Geto mentioned he cannot share his sense with curses like Mei so I think this incident will incentivise him to find a way.




The Animation Is Alive

In the last episode, I read some comments on my post and also on discussions I was educated about the change in animation style as a benefit for more consistency and backgrounds. Now that I am looking for it I have to say I took a couple of double takes. This image of the water rippling and the scenery's reflection made me feel so natural about the scenery it was subtly immersive.


Another Reference

Although neither Gojo nor Geto seemed to pay little to no attention to Amanai's speech about assimilating and being assimilated to become Tensen I think it's a crucial point. Gojo wants to reject many of the old ways of the power structure and Geto although he will not admit it to himself wants to be the power structure. I think neither of them paid attention to her speech because it was completely useless to either of their ideals, and Inoue Waka.




Sorcerer Killer

Very interesting hobby and design. I have read in some discussions people expected his character to have a deeper voice but as anime, only this is my first encounter so I have no expectations. This sorcerer killer has a scar on his lip and is referred to as a sorcerer killer so clearly he is experienced. H bets on a race of six boats but does not bet against Gojo who has six eyes he takes no chances. He is very professional in every killing of Jujutsu Sorcerers and negligent in every other part of life.  Whoever Megumi is and they sound like someone he should know is forgotten by him.

Even this early Gojo is the strength ceiling Geto said there was another reason other than the bounty for people coming for the girl. Maybe like in real life, they want the status of defeating Gojo.

The animation quality, style and quality of season 1 is phenomenal season 2 so far is a seamless transition a little different but very aligned with the era and the story. I don't know if it is a budgeting issue, animation issue or simply the machinations of a younger less powerful Gojo but one thing I did notice was the diminishment in the detail on Gojo's eyes compared to the season prior.  Has anyone seen Vin Diesel's Riddick? A Minor talking point, only in this episode did I draw a parallel between Riddick and Gojo although I don't think Gojo is sensitive to light, I think he is sensitive to limitless curse energy.

Although as an anime only I don't know.

MAPPA choreography for the Kaisen has been phenomenal and I am sure they will produce the same level of quality but if I had an animation fear it would be choreography.

If I had to put my finger on it the animation style makes me feel like season 2 is younger than season 1, perhaps an intentional alteration, does anyone else feel that way?



The Group

Gojo is untouchable if he wants to be. He accepted the discipline on behalf of the group. They are tight and know that Gojo is such an asset his punishment is relatively small. Ieiri Shoko playing with Gojo'shades is a nice touch although the scene was small. It highlights just how comfortable around each other they are especially when she puts Gojo's shades back on. Remember Gojo can only be touched when he allows he knows when to be vulnerable. How dark do you think  Gojo's shades are? Shoko could not see anything with them on. Most of us put on shades to keep the sun out Gojo puts on shades to keep the sun in.



Give Me A Better Geto Quote

Gojo walks like he owns the place his overzealous walk is exactly like his personality, he does not like rules.

This may seem unimportant and may it's just how I saw it. To me, it looks like Gojo pressed both buttons at once and only one activated. This would be typical Gojo rule-breaking trying to get to Cola's for the price of one. By avoiding Dogma's Gojo may have come up with unconventional effective ways of doing things.



One parallel I drew between Gojo and Geto is that Gojo does not say what is thought to be correct he says exactly what he thinks. Geto says what he's supposed to say merely parroting the narrative, perhaps his defect was never really a betrayal but rather him reverting to his true self finally authentic. You can't betray ideals that were never truly yours. Young Geto walks slouched as though he the weight of the world on his shoulders full of tension. It's a non-reactive stance the stance of someone who is suppressed from the inside or out.

In his opening monologue, Geto says how horrible eating curses is you have to be committed to eating them. I think his true desire is power and the monologue is illustrate what he is willing to do the get it. Let me know if you have a more appropriate quote to pinpoint young Geto's motives.

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. J. P. Morgan



Information Age And The Digital World

I don't know how much more Jujutsu Kaisen's 1st episode of season 1 could have done to make it clear that this is the Naughties era.  The flip phones, VCR recording and that legendary Digimon reference.

I loved the Digmon reference for a few reasons first it's Digimon, secondly SkullGreymon was a  direct consequence of Tai or Taichi's negative emotions which is fitting considering curses energy is negative energy. Thirdly Digimon came out as the digital age was in its very early development, dial-up and that. 

Jujutsu's Kaisen's world is nothing like Harry Potter's they use laptops and phones and are up to date. It's very how things came to be with the speed of access to information increases the speed at which curses can develop. One thousand years ago an earthquake halfway across the world one never make the first page of Reddit worldwide. Someone seeing the effect of Curses would have spread rumours and even urban myths that contribute to curses but there is no way a cursed spirit like Hanami could have been born so quickly without the information era.



Intentional Irony

I think the first mission is intentionally designed to show us how things came to be and the second mission specifically for Geto and Gojo is specifically designed to challenge their philosophies. Gojo who wines about protecting the weak is forced to protect a weak defenceless girl for the sake of a pillar of the Jujutsu girl.

Geto claims he is using power for moral reasons to protect the weak but with a twist. The weak girl he is protecting will allow Tengen to maintain the current power structure, Geto is protecting the weak to help power structures more powerful than himself. I think this contradiction will lead him to put down the burden of his false moral narrative.

Danmachi Season 4 Episode 21 Review







 Will Ryu Change?

Some episodes ago Ryu made Bell drink a potion with mould and then drink a water based monster for hydration. After drinking it Bell apologises to Ryu because his mouth was on the cup he passed to her. If that was Lily she would have jumped at the chance for an indirect kiss, Ryu simply made an excuse not to drink from the same container about saving scarce water. She changed the subject. Her voice actor did an incredible job with her voice shaking as she did but she did not blush. Lily would have jumped at the chance to remember when Bell and Welf shared a dual potion.



Currently, Ryu is feeling sexually vulnerable with Bell because her attraction to him is at a level at which he could seduce her, women do this in real life too. I think that's why she asked if he had an ulterior motive for saving her.

I am a little afraid of seeing the calm collected Ryu replaced by a blushing wreck of emotion, when Bell laughed at Ryu saying she had not changed I hope he is mostly right.

I can only imagine the content that will be produced as a consequence of the first part of the episode. 

I know where my mind went when Bell said "I never realised how small you are". 

Who Else's mind is in the gutter?



The Significance Of No More Cranel-San

Since the end of the last episode, Ryu has candidly started referring to Bell and Bell instead of Cranel san. Before then the only ever time she called Bell by his first name was out of fear  I think she was using the professionalism of formal communication as a boundary so she would not have to feel vulnerable. At first, it threw me off to hear use Bell's name I'm so used to hearing Cranel San. Alise called Ryu by her last name so that's probably where she got it from. 

So why Ryu decided to call Bell by first his name I do not know but I will give my take. 

Every time Ryu called Bell it was out of fear of losing him. Calling someone by their last name is more professional it's like treating them as a job and what do you do after the job is done after the work is done, you leave. Ryu had constantly been looking for a way to abandon the living for the dead. Ryu's comrades sacrificed themselves because they believes Ryu's justice should live on. Bell reiterated what they saw in her, that justice lives on as long as she does proving her worthy of their sacrifice and hopefully freeing her of her survivor's guilt. Ryu has only lived out of obligation to survive so her comrade's sacrifices were not in vain because thought she did not deserve their sacrifice because thought she had abandoned the justice they saved her for.


Ryu now calls Bell by his first name because of her resolution to stay with him until the very end it's no longer a job she can leave. She feels worthy of living.



Juggernaut Awareness

The Juggernaut ate other monsters to rebuild itself but the scariest part was that it may have been waiting for them meaning it's calculated and has some knowledge of dungeon levels it was not spawned on, some deep connection with the dungeon.
How in the dungeon did it get a Udeaus attack, Udeus the level 6 boss Ais soloed. It could not have defeated Udaues itself does the Juggernaut have some kind of synchronicity with the level of the dungeon it operates on so that it can use the attacks of the floor bosses of whatever level it's on?



Danmachi Season 4 Episode 22 And beyond Predictions
I think it's safe to say that Bell and Ryu will return to the lake they found under the colosseum at some point. Ryu informed us that the water was potable and the only reason they could not stay there as long as they wanted was that they had no food.

When Ryu saw the previous Juggernaut's remains, they looked like some kind of salt or sand substance as in the sands of time. So the juggernaut may have a time limit and it can take damage and be defeated. 
I am not sure I see them defeating it in their condition so I am guessing Bell will just about survive running its time out before being rescued by the Xenos.






Danmachi Season 4 Episode 22 Prediction

 


Did Season 4 Episode 22 Prediction Will Starry Flower Live Up To Its name ?


Episode 21 is called a sweet lie which has several meanings. Before they leave the cave Ryu thinks to herself that the peaceful moment she shared with Bell was one time thing. Now that she wants to live and have intimate moments she thinks it won't be possible, her mouth is fighting tears.

 On their way, Ryu finds some sweet flowers that she has Bell smell because she thinks it will make him feel better.

And finally, she falls asleep after lying to Bell to make him feel better again. A sweet lie is a dream a fantasy and what do heroes do according to Alise they make their ideals real and their dreams of justice come true. Bell called Ryu his hero but now he is about to become hers while she dreams of the life they could have together.

Ryu Lionn

"Who would have thought that the final moments of a fruitless death could be so sweet"


Episode Starry Flower Luvia 

As always we got the title of the next episode Starry flower(Luvia). We know those flowers are rare maybe the smell will ward monsters away maybe that's why the route and the cave itself had no monsters. Like that bad-smelling item, Lili used on their first trip to the middle floors. Or maybe the opposite because the flowers only grow in one known place maybe the Xenos who is familiar will smell them and ascertain a clue as to where they are.


Does anyone else think those Starry flowers will play a role and if so how?  Comment Below No Sign Up Necessary Without spoilers
