Loved those two low cab meals.
1) Cauliflower rice + salmon
2) Bunless burger (my very first!)
And a view from my office, heart wrecking!

Another amino acid to cover - L-Tyrosine. Improves alertness, attention, and focus. It helps with caffeine cravings, too. A great neurotransmitter that synthesises dopamine and regulates a lot of hormones (norepinephrine, epinephrine (adrenaline) and the thyroid hormones in particular). Low levels of tyrosine have been associated with hypothyroidism, depression, and ADD. Not recommended if you have elevated blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, melanoma, or migraine. Recommended dose: 500 mg early in the morning 30min before your breakfast, then the same mid-morning. Most of the amino acids shouldn't be taken with food for the optimal impact. Cheers, FS friends or not.

Awesome explanation of this amino acid! Very thorough. It really shines when the body is going through a stressful situation (like working out) where it helps the body prolong its defense against stress hormones. It also has been shown to help your working memory during multitasking. That view is amazing!!! Wow 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Kennyn thanks! There is a lot of more detailed info online about how it works but I condensed a little bit because it helps understand the basics. And yes, it’s great to see the skies from your window instead of boring buildings 😃

Jen Marseille and its suburbs count around 1M whilst Avignon is 10x smaller 😊 a very beautiful town but too much wind for my taste... also dog 💩 😂 you stayed there as au pair or?

i studied there in the late 80s. Wow... Mind blown... I forgot about the wind! Haha, it looked bigger than i remembered, but i thought maybe the highrise buildings were new. 😂. And boy, you are not kidding about the dog poop!!!

Must have been a great experience! Did you like the food? ...dog poop is huge problem here somehow. People are uneducated 🤷‍♀️

oh my goodness I could almost see the clouds moving as I looked at these pictures! beautiful!

New York used to be like that with dog poop - just awful. They passed laws with fines associated, enforced them and now people pick up. It's such a big improvement!
