It's rarely just one thing, that's what doctors struggle with. You'll smoke, and various factors (and there are plenty...) will weaken your immune system, your genetics will play a role, your environment will play a role as well, a combination of those factors will land you cancer. Isolating...

I think it's the same for cholesterol, can you even reach the unhealthy level (300+ TC) without some severe organ disfunction ? Some people should avoid some stuff, depending on their health, but most people would massively benefit from eating more of those goddamn salted eggs.

Doctors are all : less meat, cholesterol bad, less salt. ACM studies : the more meat, cholesterol and salt the longer you live. Was discussing it with a colleague earlier today, and he an interesting comment, salt is one thing you're noticing immediately if it's lacking. Unlike magnesium...

You should be careful of not being sodium deficient, a lot of people are because we've been told all our lives that salt is bad. If your kidney is normal, you're just going to piss away fairly quickly any extra. But if you're deficient, it will lead to brain, neurological issues. Like...

To be fair keto for one year would be difficult, most people stop keto after a while because it's just too hard to maintain. And you're probably not supposed to be in ketosis for months anyway. But a couple of weeks can be useful, especialy as people that try keto usually end up eating less...

Keto diet might be worth trying for neuropathy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7781473/ Most studies looking at it show some sort of benefit. I know someone who had severe pain in her arm for 2 years (thx vax) that got rid of it with a low carb diet. Worst case is you won't have...

Do you have diabetes ?

If you're not taking them already, various studies show Omega 3 supplement do make a difference for bp.

Indeed, if anxiety is starting in the evening before going to bed, that's more unnatural than during the night when cortisone is naturaly higher. Either way, the aim is to have a cortisone level as low as possible when falling asleep. Eating earlier and avoiding sugars entirely in the evening...

Cortisone levels should be minimum when you go to bed and increase during the night. So it's not surprinsing that anxiety would be worse during the night. Might be adrenal fatigue, too much stress, caffeine not enough sleep over time causing it to dysfunction.

Sigh

A study un-surprinsingly showed that sitting 8+ hours sitting a day was as bad for cardiovascular health as smoking and was barely offset by 1 hour of workout per day. I'll try to find the study, pretty sure I heard of it in a video of Thomas DeLauer but this dude just has top much video. The...

Quick question, has Magic gone woke or can I relatively safely play with my kid, who showed interest out of nowhere?

You probably won't get result overnight.. going to the gym, eating better and generaly speaking trying to spend as little time sitting as possible should do the trick. Find whatever metric you like and try to do more every month. Kinda suck when the 'I'm young cheat code' runs out, but with...

(a) If you're black and live in Europe your vit D level won't be great. We'd need to travel back in time and see what the level was 5000 years ago among european tribes to know what the intended level is. (b) As the exhibit below show, the less time you spend in your life outside, the more...
