How do you know when tooth pain is telling you something serious or if it is sensitivity that can be reversed naturally? The rule of thumb is that a painful sensation that lasts fewer than two minutes usually indicates the problem is reversible. You should consider this pain as a warning, but the situation may not be a disaster. Usually, the longer the pain continues, the more serious it is. When tooth pain is felt as you press on a tooth, this is usually a call for more urgent dental help, as this kind of pressure is normally caused by fluids accumulating from a bacterial infection inside the tooth or an abscess in or around the tooth’s root. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

In a study that looked at the effect of strength training in 62 frail seniors, the subjects who did only strength training for 6 months gained no muscle mass. Another group of subjects was given protein supplementation (via a protein shake); those subjects added an average of about 3 pounds of lean mass. The extra protein likely made the difference. Similar results have been found in multiple other studies, although it remains unclear whether protein supplementation helps to improve muscle "strength" as well as muscle mass. We don't store protein in the way we store fat (in fat cells) or glucose (as glycogen). If you consume more protein than you can synthesize into lean mass, you'll simply excrete the excess in your urine as urea. [2023] - Peter Attia
