  • Cool!!

    Or a “good enough” rough estimate is: double (the Celsius number) + 30

    (0 * 2) + 30 = 30F freezing

    (10 * 2) + 30 = 50F cool

    (20 * 2) + 30 = 70F nice

    (30 * 2) + 30 = 90F hot

    (40 * 2) + 30 = 110F sweltering

    In reverse: subtract 30 (from the Fahrenheit number), and divide by 2

    (30F - 30) / 2 = 0 C freezing

    (40F - 30) / 2 = 5 C freezing

    (50F - 30) / 2 = 10 C cool

    (60F - 30) / 2 = 15 C cool

    (70F - 30) / 2 = 20 C nice

    (80F - 30) / 2 = 25 C nice

    (90F - 30) / 2 = 30 C hot

    (100F - 30) / 2 = 35 C hot

    (110F - 30) / 2 = 40 C sweltering

    (120F - 30) / 2 = 45 C start praying


  • Just reiterating what the commenter above said. The nerve is dead (hence the root canal) so the actual tooth itself won’t feel any pain.

    In fact, my first root canal was an emergency and they drilled right into my tooth without anesthesia to relieve the pressure. I felt no pain, just relief.

    As others have said, it’s the noises and sensations… Like you can feel sensations of “something is pressing down on my jaw”, but it doesn’t hurt.

    I think it’s also that it feels invasive to have someone in your mouth. It’s an oddly intimate part of the body. I had to remind myself that, “I’m consenting to this”, and, “this person is skilled and helping me”, so I don’t get scared or feel like something is happening to me.

    Great article, thanks for sharing.

    TL;DR

    "…push refined carbohydrates to the end of the meal to help reduce post-meal blood glucose levels and keep you feeling fuller longer.

    Consider these tips:

    Start with high-fiber, low-calorie foods with high water content, such as soups, vegetables and fruits. They’ll fill you up and limit the sugar you take in on an empty stomach.

    Choose soluble fibers, such as nuts or beans, to slow digestion and possibly lower your risk of heart disease.

    Eat plant-based proteins, which increase your fiber intake and lead to greater satiety.

    Save high-fat foods for after fiber and protein since they affect heart health and don’t help with satiety."
