By about thirty-six hours postworkout, the whole process is pretty much complete. So every time you beat up and tear down muscle fibers, especially with running and weight training, you’re looking at approximately thirty-six hours of recovery before another high-quality session is doable or efficacious. And if you jump in too soon, you’re wasting precious training time by beating up your muscles in an underrecovered state.
Beyond Training
Ben Greenfield
We need a practice of some sort because doing and being become so painfully separated in modern life. The antidote is to set aside time for reflection, contemplation, and focused presence. This is not mindlessly daydreaming, zoning out, or going into a stupor. It is from a state of energized being that we realize the highest potentials in any situation.
Living Your Unlived Life
Robert A. Johnson, Jerry Ruhl
Photosynthesis is always an extremely lopsided exchange of internal water (inside a leaf) for external CO2 (in the atmosphere). Anytime a plant opens its stomata (located on the underside of leaves) to import sufficient carbon for its photosynthesis, it loses large amounts of water. For example, transpiration efficiency (biomass produced per unit of water used) of wheat (whole plant) is 5.6–7.5 grams per kilogram, and this translates to about 240–330 kilograms of water per kilogram of harvested grain.[65]
