Not cooming. Porn consumption and the amount of gray matter in the brain are inversely related. Heavy porn users didn't have much at all. Makes sense. Thinking gets in the way of cooming.

[Anonymous No.19296937]

Basically if you are looking at or listening to things that arouse you or do things that gives you pleasure then it shuts down the part of your brain you use for critical thinking. This is why when people are addicted to stuff they make stupid decisions because they are always doing or thinking about stuff that gives them pleasure.
Avoid arousing stimuli of all kinds especially in exessive amounts.
You can fix this quite easily if its allready happened to you by just sitting in the dark in silence for at least 15 mins a day. Which is harder than it sounds. Try starting with 2 minutes and working your way up to longer times.
This will increase your brain plasticity which is the thing kids have that allows them to learn stuff faster and to change habits and stuff like that

Alchohol is defineatly worse as it rots the body and the mind. Porn is just bad for your brain.
Nobody has ever died from porn withdrawal but I have nearly died from alcohol withdrawal and heard of plenty of people who actually died its not a rare occurrence.
All vices are bad so dont try to justify one by saying its not as bad as another but also practice harm reduction if you are incapable of stopping and then get help when you are ready.

Yeah it could very well be. Try dopamine fasting. Where you just avoid stimuli that give enjoyment and youll find you become way smarter. About a year ago I became Muslim but only in the last 2 months have I been strongly practicing and I have noticed a significant increase in mental ability. we arent allowed drinking, non medical drugs, we fast for 1 month a year and optionally a couple days every week all year, no music (singing is ok) or to look at women (especially the hot ones) and we pray 5 times a day. I firmly belive in Allah (God) but I think if an atheist adopted these practices the rigid routine and the lack of pointless dopamine releases would be massively benificial.
One of my freinds joked it was like id googled "how to have as little fun as possible" and it was funny because little did they realise that now to me simple things like a good meal or going out in nature give me just as much enjoyment as hard drugs

[Anonymous No.19298223]

Yes. And I would say the millions of other Muslims it works for disagree with you. Im not meaning to be rude but its something thats tried and tested that works. Also why would I give advice based on the expirence of others thats not something I have the ability to do.
Also im not saying you HAVE to become a Muslim just that its something that has worked for me and also the majority of religious people in the world.

I could but I would rather just do what im doing.
Also you do realise all that im preaching here is the self restraint aspect? I fully realise that the cooking board of 4chan is not a good place to preach religion to people.
But if you are Christian then thats a really funny thing to say because Jesus (pbuh) was born in Bethlehem and resided in Nazareth and was born to a mother of the age of 12-14. She an joseph had been married a while before so your religion is also for "desert pedophiles" so maybe go read some scripture.
if you are an atheist then I see no point arguing with you on a cooking board. Same goes for if you are christian this just isnt the place for it lol.
All im trying to promote is the benifits of structure and abstaining from strong stimuli on brain plasticity.

As for ops question I would reccomend wallnuts, fish, assorted berries, lentils, chickpeas and choline suppliments

If you can't conceive of any possible difference between having sex with a person vs sitting alone at your computer browsing hundreds of thousands of images/videos, then I'm gonna bet that you started using porn at a young age. People who insist that there's no functional difference between sex, masturbation, or using porn reveal how deeply they have been damaged. That's okay though, well not really, but it can be okay. There's still hope, even for them. We are very adaptable and resilient creatures

Cooked meat allowed humans to digest calories more efficiently resulting in the brain capacity we have nowadays. I guess using your brain pretty much daily along with a healthy and sufficient diet in terms of calories is mostly important. I say this as thinking extensively literally consumes calories. It's also the first thing to go when you are way below maintaining your calories

Isn't dementia/Alzheimer's starting to be referred to as type 3 diabetes? It's when your brain has become resistant to insulin so stops firing on all cylinders. There's ongoing promising studies into whether the keto diet actually helps with dementia since if your brain can't use glucose for fuel because of insulin resistance, using fat as fuel instead could work.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31996078/
>Several small human studies have shown benefit on cognition in dementia with a ketogenic diet intervention. Future, large controlled studies are needed to confirm this benefit; however, the ketogenic diet has shown promise in regard to delay or mitigation of symptoms of cognitive decline.
