As we age, our bodies undergo significant changes in metabolism and nutrient absorption. The once-efficient systems that sustained us may start to falter, impacting our ability to extract essential nutrients from the food we consume.

Diabetes, Tooth Loss Can Be Double Trouble for Aging Brains

By Cara Murez  HealthDay Reporter WEDNESDAY, March 15, 2023 (HealthDay News) — Diabetes is a known risk factor for mental decline and dementia. Paired with total tooth loss, the potential harm to the brain is even more significant, new research indicates. The findings highlight the importance of good dental care and diabetes control in aging adults, said Bei Wu, lead author of a new study of…

Reasons Why You Feel So Tired All The Time?

Reasons Why You Feel So Tired All The Time?

Are you tired all the time? You’re not alone! Sleep is one of the most important things you can do to keep your body running smoothly, and it’s not just about sleeping more. It’s about making sure that when you do get your Zzzs, what you’re doing while you’re asleep is actually helping your body heal itself. Are you anemic? Anemia is a condition in which the blood has too few red blood cells or…

Sorry about the color mix up. I appreciate the reply and additional info! I guess bc I know nothing about peafowl (and the fact i dont breed any type of animal), I'm having a hard time understanding how being sterile would be unethical. I do somewhat get the shortened life span. I really would like to understand this, I just sometimes need stuff explained like I'm 5.

Up front, there's no "somewhat get" to a shortened lifespan being caused by a mutation in captive populations. If an animal is capable of living 20+ years (and some live 30+ or even 40+!) and some non-essential mutation is causing them to live 7-9 years, it's flat out absolutely unethical to breed that mutation, full stop, regardless of anything else going on. That's indicative of a MAJOR problem in their genetics. There's NO ethical reason to breed that because humans like how it looks. So, even without the sterility, these birds would 100% be unethical to produce.

The short answer on sterility is this: we don't know WHY they are sterile, but they shouldn't be, and that means something has gone wrong. When something goes wrong with an animal, and it's something genetic that can be passed on, the ONLY responsible and ethical thing for a breeder to do is to stop using that animal for breeding and closely monitor any already-produced offspring for signs of the problem, and likely not breed them, either.

The longer more complicated answer is this: sometimes it's possible to separate the problem from the aesthetic when it comes to morphs, like it was for cameo + blindness, but sometimes it's NOT, like it wasn't for spider + head wobble for ball pythons. In those instances, it's... difficult. Because you're LIKELY going to produce animals that suffer the same problem as their parent(s), in the attempt to separate the problem from the aesthetic, and sometimes that's ALL you're going to produce. As a breeder, it's your absolute responsibility to NOT release the offspring into the general population, where the problem may be replicated without control, and to keep or cull the affected individuals if the problem cannot be separated from the aesthetic, or AT BEST find them guaranteed pet-only homes that will NEVER breed them.

Sometimes the problem IS purely aesthetic or harmless, like it was for pied in peafowl, and sometimes it's not, like it was for vitiligo in peafowl. The problem comes when you ASSUME a mutation is the first, and treat it like the first when it's really the second. This has caused FAR reaching consequences in the peafowl community, and I'm sure in others, where now the autoimmune disease that first bronze had has been passed into genpop by folks who thought they were breeding a harmless new variation of pied. Hybrid animals are often sterile (not in peafowl though, hybrid cristatus-muticus birds are fertile) because of a mismatch in chromosome pairing numbers, and often that's harmless. So, in some cases sterility is not an issue because it's the expected result or is otherwise harmless... but in the case of peafowl, it's NOT an expected result and we don't know if it's caused by something harmless or not.

Some species, like mice and horses and cattle and dogs, genetic testing and DNA mapping done with millions of dollars has proven that while some stuff isn't purely aesthetic, it also doesn't cause harm to the animal in a way that affects quality of life or that can be adapted for in captive care. For example, in chickens, the frizzle gene causes curled feathers in single copy and an absence of feathers in double copy. This gene is considered ethical to produce IF the breeding is done responsibly by putting a single copy bird over a zero copy bird, which produces smooth coats and frizzle coats, but it is unethical to produce double frizzles (called "frazzles") because frazzles cannot thermoregulate, can easily sunburn, and easily suffer skin injury during normal chicken activity.

For peafowl, we have NO genetic testing. We do not have the genome mapped. As far as I know there's a research group working on it (mostly for green peafowl though, in conservation efforts), but that's not remotely finished or available to the public to test anything. We don't know where any of the morph mutations sit, or what is causing them or if they do anything beyond just change the color. Sometimes color mutations are the result of malfunctions in enzymes. For charcoal specifically, we don't know what the mutation does, besides what we can observe on the outside- the birds have half or less the lifespan of normal birds, poor feather quality, and the hens are sterile. Is the sterility harmless like it is in some hybrid animals, or is it actually a major organ failing? Is it the only major organ that fails due to this mutation, or is it just the first sign of their shortened lives? Is it some deficiency in something the birds need to be healthy? Does it hurt the bird? We don't know, but we do know the mutation and the problems (multiple, please do NOT forget that this is one OF MORE THAN ONE problems) can't be separated, and so until we do know why and whether it's harmless or not, the ONLY ethical response to seeing a problem in a major organ's function linked inextricably to a mutation in color is to not propagate that mutation. If someone wanted to fork over the millions it takes to sequence and map genomes and then determine exactly what is going on with peafowl, that would be nice and good, but I don't see that happening. When I win the lottery big, I'll be doing it, but til then we can only follow normal breeding guidelines

Also, to put this into perspective... peafowl mature sexually around 3 years old. They are chicks until the turn of the new year following their hatch. They are yearlings that year, and immature 2yo next year. They aren't actually considered fully grown until 6 years old, and should live another 14+ years. Charcoal birds die a 1-3 years after full maturity. Is it a coincidence that they fail to thrive shortly after full sexual maturity, or is it linked? Again, we don't know. We don't know if the sterility is fine or if it's just a symptom of something worse.

Even without the sterility, though, charcoal has enough issues it would be unethical. If it was JUST sterility, with no other deleterious effects, then maybe it would be different. But it's not.

#peafowl #asks #anon asks #as always please bear in mind that animal breeding is NOT the same as human reproduction ethics #and I ONLY deal in animal ethics #and honestly even if it was just shit feather quality then I would personally consider it bad breeding #I asked the only person I know who still has charcoals what their issues were and lord it is worse than I thought even #she's keeping/breeding only what she can keep herself #and experimenting with feeding regimens in the hopes of correcting a nutritional deficiency #that might account for the sterility #but so far after like 10+ years she's had no luck #so it's not likely #Like there are SO MANY perfectly fine and healthy morphs out there #there's NO reason to keep making this one #it's not essential to the continuance of the species #also to anon: I'm not mad at all this is just how i sound about my special interest #I'm glad you asked questions #I appreciate you seeking info

Birds incapable of making healthy life choices, study says

#they were theorizing that birds might be capable of fixing deficiencies in their own #by eating the right foods to fill the nutritional gaps #and the birds instead #are the worst possible choices #because they were fatty and delicious #science #nutrition

when i say i have daily headaches i don’t mean that i get a headache once a day, i mean that from the moment i wake up to the moment i fall asleep, i have a headache. i varies in intensity but it never goes away. and i feel like there’s a big difference that the people around aren’t understanding

#so far the response from my parents is that i need better sleep and i don’t eat enough / properly #i agree that i might be deficient in some vitamins and what not #but my lack access to nutritional food is not my fault #my therapist seems to think that it’s my anxiety and that’s how it presents itself #and so she’s referred me to a psychiatrist #but i’m hoping i get to a normal doctor before then to see if it’s anything else #i’ve been giving myself massages to see if it has anything to do with my muscle tension #and it’s far as I can tell it has no correlation #i’m not sure what type of headaches like this because where the pain is and how it feels varies a lot #It’s in my temples my forehead #it’s been in my temples my forehead my brow bone sometimes it goes down to my cheekbones #it’s also been in the back of my head sometimes it feels like it’s almost in the center of my skull #i’m not sure. I do know that coffee can make it worse as well as like sunlight. but beyond that I don’t know #moving to much ig #chronic headaches #mental illness #chronic illness

if i were a vampire and one of the homies had been feeling a bit sick for no apparent reason I'd be like "hey you want to me to give it a little taste?" and if they said "sure why not" i'd take a little sampling of blood and he like "oh bleugh. you are anemic as hell right now dude. and down on vitamin K too. stop skimping it on the leafy greens ."

#this inspired by the fact that I'm clearly having some kind of nutritional deficiency that my doctors can't pinpoint #i say stuff

[detentiontrack]

I have only eaten yogurt, boxed mac and cheese, and microwave meals the last 3 days

#I have not eaten any vegetables #but I did put frozen fruit on my dinner yogurt #so maybe I won’t die of nutritional deficiencies #I’m coping really well with this breakup. I am still a functional adult 👍

idk i just really feel like the black brothers were iron deficient

#it would explain so much #pale as fuck? iron deficiency. #mood swings? iron deficiency. #irritability? iron deficiency. #anxiety and paranoia? iron deficiency. (other than their family trauma) #depression? iron deficiency definitely wasn’t helping. #psychological distress? iron deficiency. #other mental health problems and disorders such as ADHD? iron deficiency causes an increased risk in having them. #i mean come on #you know those kids weren’t given proper nutrition #like can you ​imagine walburga and kreacher with a food pyramid chart? #please. she’d rather let them starve than actually be a MOTHER #the black brothers #sirius black #regulus black #harry potter #the marauders #james & peter & remus & sirius #james potter #remus lupin #marauders #peter pettigrew #wolfstar #jegulus #walburga's a+ parenting

39?!! What do you eat? How are you alive? I don't know if i'm afraid of you or for you.

some of them are actual intolerances/allergies. some of them are texture and/or taste issues. some of them are both. some of them i *will* eat if i have to but i would prefer not to. some of them are absolutely not under any circumstances foods. food in general is just not a great time for me lol

#replies #anonymous #i am pretty much always vitamin d and potassium deficient #but besides those two i dont really have any nutrition issues #and the vitamin d is largely just because im allergic to it lol #sick tag

Getting reeeeeeal sick of my parents' obsession with "healthy food". Like. I'm sorry, you're gonna tell me that ICEBERG LETTUCE isn't healthy enough??? It's not good for you???

Are you really surprised that u raised an anorexic with dozens of food-related OCD triggers. Are you really.

#For fucking YEARS you'll say this and refuse to buy it and only after I literally yell at you because #I'm so sick of everything I can physically manage to eat being called unhealthy and killing me #so you google the fucking nutrition information to find out it's basically the same as ur fucking #Godsend Spinach will you consider that Maybe they're both actually just a fucking vegetable? #why is it never fucking enough for these people. #they KNOW how little I'm physically capable of eating. they KNOW that I have so many OCD and sensory issues with food. #they KNOW I'm dangerously deficient in multiple vitamins and minerals and shit. they KNOW im significantly underweight. #yet they're still gonna comment on the sugar content and macros of everything I fucking blink at. #I'm fucking losing it dude what is their problem. #worst part is that this is just the fuckin tip of the iceberg with their food shit. pun not intended #I'm so goddamn over them dude it's not even funny #armchair speaks #food mention #weight mention #ed tw #eating disorder cw #tw implied abuse

Vitamin B12 is essential to nerve and cell health. It is not often found in plants or plant-based foods, with the exception of nutritional yeast, mushrooms, and sea veggies (algae). If you are vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based, you WILL need to supplement it. Common B12 deficiencies are fatigue, tingling, poor memory.
