Your Body Position Impacts How Quickly Pills Kick In, New Study Shows

Laying on your left-hand side may make for slower pill absorption.

IFLScience

oh wow! hey if you take pills check this out. new medicine taking meta just dropped.

according to these models, out of the 4 tested postures, the best position to digest pills is laying on your right side. standing upright has a similar time to laying in your back at twice as much as laying on the right side, and laying on the left side is the slowest by far.

laying on right side: pill dissolves in around 10 minutes.

standing: pill dissolves in 23 minutes. laying on the back has a similar time.

laying on left side: pill dissolves in up to 100 minutes.

https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0096877

definitely worth a lot more research.

if you want your medicine to kick in fast, try laying on your right side! if you want your medicine to kick in slower, try laying on your left side.

This makes sense! I learned from a doc that if you have gas pain or nausea, you turn on your left side to make it easier for your stomach to send stuff through. The goal in turning left is to NOT absorb, but to release.

Turning on your right can make nausea/gas pain worse because it has to fight gravity to exit your stomach/body. So, yeah, lying on your right would make things absorb faster because it’s going into the stomach lining, which is the point.

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey

I was going to reblog this anyway for the useful info but the last addition fucking sent me

thinking about how old umbrellas are

sometimes a design is so suited to purpose that it lasts for thousands of years

could travel back in time and buy a perfectly good umbrella. could show them my umbrella and they’d recognize what it was.

no matter when we lived we’ve all been subject to the sky

Painting I was commissioned to do for an upcoming book about my local nature reserve here in North Yorkshire, UK.

All the digital paintings i made for the book are of real places. It was so lovely to be asked to illustrate my home and fun trying to capture the seasonal light and mood of somewhere I know so well!

Here is a lesser spotted woodpecker visiting the area in winter. Pictured with barn owl, roe deer and gulls coming into roost on the floodwater.

hearing a song you really like on the radio just hits different than streaming it. same with catching a movie you really like on cable just as it’s starting. streaming services will never be able to capture this very specific kind of simple joy

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

• put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work
• open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk
• put in the movie
• gdi it has to be rewound
• press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way
• start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning
• FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie
• and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

• QUICK LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME LOWER THE VOLUME OH FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Okay crisis averted.
• although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear…..
• better turn up the volume…

im going to complain for a sec about something arbitrary but as expected ppl rbing the news abt greece legalising gay marriage and adoption are being so unfunny abt it like “haha werent they always gay since ancient times” or “nice to see greece embracing tradition” straight up saw multiple people make references to aphrodite or the greek gods like can u shut up 😭 its not even funny you dont know anything abt this country

the reason it pisses me off so much is that it’s so indicative of how people view Greece as only its history and this type of humour feels so condescending because it disregards the fact that on a personal and cultural level the life of a queer person in greece is often so lonely and isolating and disheartening and this kind of news in this country is a moment where can hope for things to get better, and instead of celebrating with us as we are now or commiserating with those who have suffered so much to get to this point, people are focusing once again on our past and our history, as if that matters right now.

a post i saw on here a while back put it really beautifully, saying how “the people always come second place to our history”, and i know this is a minor thing to get upset about but something that feels like such a big deal then feels belittled by people making jokes about how Greece has “finally caught up” or has “always been gay anyway”. not only you are you undermining the way queer people have suffered under the patriarchal hypermasculine heteronormative conservative views of the majority of our compatriots, you also just aren’t funny.

art by @BottlngSunshine

Is it about butchering black girls’ hair to keep white people comfortable? Is it about a woman visiting the same violence on her daughter as was done to her by her mother a generation prior? Is this girl just too… “different” to go into the world unaltered? Does she need to be toned down so she can succeed? Does she need to be defenseless before she is deemed safe by powerful people who would do her harm if given half a reason? Is one of those people holding those scissors?

[I.D. digital art of a young girl medusa sitting in a chair in a kitchen, crying as a woman cuts the heads off of medusa’s snakes. the woman’s head is out of frame, but her blonde hair is visible as she pulls three snakes taught, beginning to chop them with scissors as blood spurts. four snakes have been cut already, their remains lying dead on the floor as the rest of the snakes, all sporting pink bows around their necks, cower in fear. the majority of the illustration has been colored in black and deep saturated yellows and oranges, while medusa’s skin and hair are green. her pinafore has the same color palette as the background. her knees are also scuffed, bruised with orange and one of them bandaged. her cut strands of snake hair are not bandaged and continue to bleed. end I.D.]
