Masturbating Ourselves to Death: Unpacking the Myth and The Real Modern Risk
Let’s clear the air immediately: you cannot, from a purely physiological standpoint, masturbate yourself to death. The provocative phrase “masturbating ourselves to death” isn’t a literal medical warning but a potent metaphor for a much more insidious modern dilemma.

The Balanced Plate
In an era where plant-based eating captivates the zeitgeist—Google Trends revealing a 600% surge in "vegan recipes" since 2015—proponents herald it as a panacea for health, ethics, and ecology. Yet, poignant anecdotes abound: elite athletes faltering from fatigue, vegans hospitalized for B12 anemias, underscoring a sobering reality. While plants lavishly bestow fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, the human proteome demands more; strict adherence invites insidious deficits in complete proteins and bioavailable micronutrients, as chronicled in cohorts like EPIC-Oxford. This article demystifies the discourse: the optimal diet pivots not on puritanical exclusion but a plant-heavy foundation—80% vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains—fortified by 20% animal products, emulating Mediterranean and Blue Zones longevity blueprints.

Patience to Perseverance: 2025 Angel Blessings and Sidenotes
Patience does not come prepackaged with a pretty little red bow. It is a gift to oneself, constructed with intentional practice. Perceived timelines must dissolve, erasing self-inflicted pressure. Patented equals a personal copyright, only when ready. Racing is neither embracing the lesson nor is it a reason. Slow and steady is the course. Perseverance is the season. -Marilyn Glover
