I believe in permanent self-improvement every day in everything I do, including nutrition. That should be the golden standard for one’s life. And much of the greatest self-improvement over time comes from tiny improvements every day.
This should be your standard until your last breath.
If you value your health, you should be taking both spirulina and chlorella every day.
That the words wander and wonder are kindred spirits.
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.
Does autophagy, boosted by a long fast, kill off cancer cells?
Never say never.
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.
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.
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.
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.
