totally agree there,
the critics say that the spike is temporary, so it doesn’t matter. While my thought is maybe it’s a timeframe window that you can use take action which can yield lasting benefits 💪
I was researching the effects of fasting on human growth hormone levels.
“But our concern here is HGH. It starts at 0.73 and peaks at 9.86 on a 40 day fast. That is a 1,250% increase in growth hormone. A shorter 5 day fast gives a 300% increase. All this HGH increases without drugs.
Fasting is a great stimulus to HGH secretion. During fasting, there is the spike in the early morning, but there is regular secretion throughout the day as well. Hartman et al also showed a 5 fold increase in HGH in response to a 2 day fast.
This HGH likely helps in the maintenance of lean mass – both muscle and bone.”

Benefits of natural HGH:
1) Increased Muscle Strength
2) Better Fracture Healing
3) Weight loss
4) stronger bones
5) Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
6) Increased Libido
7) Decreased obesity
8) Better Mood and Cognitive Function
9) Better Sleep
DYOR but fasting for 5 days has shown to increase HGH levels by 300%. 
My question is, is that HGH spike useful even though it’s temporary?
I always hear people dismiss it, but maybe you can do something on that day like go, do a heavy weighting training session.
someone I don't know and have never communicated with has built a full proof of concept Data Vending Machine. I randomly bumped into it on birdapp.
I expect a whole lot more of this as the vast amount of use cases (and the endless composability possibilities) are explored

Imagine this UX with NIP-47 (nostr wallet connect) where low-value jobs to not-spammy service providers is automagically paid for you)

So awesome Pablo! You’ve built something incredible.
I just sent this to my techie friend to was vaguely interested in Nostr. I think this might push them over the edge finally! lol
Hello my friend. I am a fellow meditator and happy to meet Buddhists on nostr
🤝✨
I see, thank you for clarifying.
I want to help build this here on nostr too.

I’ll just repost my sub-comment here because it gets to the heart of my vision for community building.
This is some thing I thought about for years and I think nostr could be the protocol for this.

Right on! 🤙🤙
Yeah, that is a contribution that I would like to make. I’ve thought a lot about it for years.
I work as a PM and I have had some experience with how soc med optimizes for maximum engagement.
And I envisioned a social media that takes a radically different approach, and specifically optimizes for one thing: creating and promoting real life in person friendships.
I basically imagine an AI running on something like nostr that identifies groups of people (who opt in) in an area and the AI suggests a specific event meetups like:
“hey bunch of you all seem to be into outdoors activities and you’re in the same region, are you interested in doing a paddleboard this Sunday?”
Then you could give it a thumbs up, and once you see that five other people are interested it might motivate you to go do the thing and make some real life friends.

Yeah. I meant do people on here still recommend things like meetup.com or is there a superior website for stuff like that now days?
By the way, I could see nostr community building something like this in the future that surpasses the web 1.0, in Web 2.0 version.
Meaning, there’s not enough people here to answer the question?
Question for nostr community: what is the best website or app that lists activities going on in your local area?
I am in a new state and looking for interesting things to do.
I also feel like there’s two tiers of activities, things like farmers markets, which are great, and then things like artistic nightlife. I’m interested in both.
