The next world war will be the last.
Self-Improvement
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.
Beneficial Algae
If you value your health, you should be taking both spirulina and chlorella every day.
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.
