neurofeedback vs neurostimulation
I'm reaching out to inquire about the comparative benefits and applications of neurofeedback and neurostimulation for first responders. Given the demanding nature of their work, there's a growing interest in modalities that can enhance cognitive performance, manage stress, sleep issues, and potentially aid in PTSD recovery. Both neurofeedback and neurostimulation are being marketed to this demographic, but there's considerable confusion regarding what each entails, their benefits, and which might be more advantageous for their specific needs. Could you please clarify how each modality functions, and specifically, how they could benefit first responders? Moreover, in your professional opinion, which of these approaches is more effective, safer, and accessible for individuals in high-stress professions? Are there any studies or evidence that particularly support the use of one over the other for this group? I appreciate any insights or resources you could share on this matter, and I'm looking forward to your expert guidance.
Sugar avoidance when you're sick and honey health benefit
I've heard from my friend that sugar is a very bad idea (even fructose) - argument he has given was that sugar, when you're sick, is a bad idea and "you should avoid it like a plague". He mentioned that a lot of a research that's out there that advocate sugar usage for health reasons was sponsored by American bodies associated with sugar production. I would argue, that maybe in a broader context some moderate sugar might be okay (like kiwi has a lot of vitamin in it). Also with honey I'm curious as well, since I've heard about its anti-bacterial properties, but I've heard that its effects get destroyed by stomach acid, so I don't know what to believe in anymore.
