If you value your health, you should be taking both spirulina and chlorella every day.
Author: Henry Barnard
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Kindred Spirits
That the words wander and wonder are kindred spirits.
Lifelong Health
If one were to commit to an 18:6 intermittent fasting regime early in life, one would no doubt live a long life at a healthy weight and avoid heart disease, diabetes, and other major illnesses. The 18-hour fasting period would provide daily ketosis of 6 hours to consistently reduce body fat, so weight gain would no longer be an issue, and so all the major diseases associated with excessive weight gain would just go away.
An 18:6 intermittent fasting regime combined with avoidance of processed foods — those two elements would almost guarantee a long and healthy life.
Cancer Cells
Does autophagy, boosted by a long fast, kill off cancer cells?
Never
Never say never.
How to Boost/Diversity Your Microbiome
Eat more fermented food. Sauerkraut. Kefir. Plant-based yogurt. Cottage cheese. Goat cheese. Kimchi. Kombucha. Tempera. Tofu. Probiotic pill. Plant-based cream cheese. Miso.
Make a regular probiotic smoothie with many of the above as ingredients — plus a large dollop of fiber.
Serotonin Levels
They have discovered that women have seriously lower serotonin levels than men. What this means is that women may be much more prone to depression, while men might be much more inclined toward a happy go lucky attitude. Serotonin makes one feel contented.
How to Beat Diabetes
And even simpler way to beat diabetes is 18:6 intermittent fasting. The last 6 hours of that 18-hour fasting period — because you haven’t eaten any carbohydrates at all — you have extremely low glucose levels, verging on hypoglycemia, and therefore much greater insulin sensitivity, which is the opposite of insulin resistance — the root cause of diabetes.
A month of this regiment and you won’t need to take any Metformin.
But doctors don’t tell you any of this. They just prescribe Metformin. For doctors, “medicine” comes down to pills and prescriptions. Duh.
Overcoming Diabetes
A healthy plant-based diet will turn around pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions in a matter of just weeks. Not resolve these conditions, but seriously improve them, and definitely move the person in the right direction — without drugs. Compex carbohydrates and lots of fiber, not much meat or oil. But this would require no processed food at all.
One would need to go radically from the SAD diet to a healthy plant-based diet overnight. That would be the challenge. And most people don’t have the insight into nutrition to be able to do that, and then there is the issue of having the willpower to do it, which is also problematic.
Mistakes
Amazing how many mistakes one makes in a single day. Most people just ignore minor mistakes and move on, but if you register and keep track of all of them, they add up big time. Of course, there are those people who are much more meticulous and deliberate in their actions, and so make far fewer mistakes, but I think this is a tiny minority. Most of us makes dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of mistakes every day. I think therefore that humanity is actually very mistake prone — perhaps much more mistake prone then is commonly realized.
