You're 40+, your body is giving you a hard time, and the first thing you do isn't cooking all your meals from wholefood isn't a rationnal behaviour. That's even the very base of modern medecine, "may your food be your first medecine" , that remain true to this day for most chronic issues...

That’s the nuclear option. I think the work of Prof. Tim Spector offers a few alternatives to try from to restore the proper gut biome, before trying that. I have UC . It took me 5 years of trials and error, but now it’s pretty much fixed. The diet that Spector didn’t work for me, but his work...

Insane that the gut/food angle is not more used against chronic inflammation / auto-immune problem.

That’s one thing that surprised me in Asia, most diabetics aren’t obese or even overweight, and they seemingly eat healthy. By seemingly I mean I suspect the rice is fucking them up and their genetics prevent them from seeing it, like white people would gain wait. You can eat 'healthy’ and...

People were not the same. Well, I guess this one was a bit of an outlier even back then. I like how he carried an unconscious guy while swimming with one arm out of a plane crash.

Wouldn’t inflammation in general increase afib? So getting help from Grok or whatever to keep carbs intake below 100 g a day help, possibly moderatly quickly. Also intermittent fasting, many studies show a benefit while none find a risks. Worth trying maybe if you haven't yet.

Walking is okay, even if you're a super whale. Can make a few kg of muscles if you're on calories deficit, high protein and walking decently. It's a good place to start, and if you have 100 pounds to wait, you don't have to wait 6 months to start. And if you just want to be healthy and live...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876034123001478 In this study they look at how much antibiotics people took between 2002 and 2006 and then looks at cancer from 2007 to 2019. The more antibiotics the more cancer. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10953323/ This one...

Well there are multiple studies on cancer and they put a variable 'lifetime consumption of antibiotics’ ans it increases your risk significantly, and not just 'last few years consumption'. It’s not as insane as it sounds if cancer can take a decade to be detected and if damages from...

Many studies show "permanent" damage to the immune system caused by antibiotics, as increased risk of cancer even from dose of antibiotics took 20 years earlier. My guess is that the damage isn't that permanent, it's just that antibiotics combined with absolute garbage which is the western diet...

Great christmas upgrade upgrade until it’s LAN time and you need a wheelbarrow....

Not to mention that being actually in ketosis is damn hard. I feel also that keto is not a good diet. I like my low carb/fasting regimen. I wouldn’t do it without actual medical advice in his case, but fasting, complet fasting, decrease the strain on your heart. After 24 hours of fasting my...

Acm is at the lowest at 220ish of TC. It’s a lot worse at 140 than at 300. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-y/figures/2 On this article you can see that older you get the higher the optimal is. I remember an article that basicly shows that people that reach 100 have high...

Baking soda is bad for GERD, gargling baking soda, even washing your nose with it helps with LPR, as it deactivate stomach enzyme that are eating up your throat,.but again reducing stomach acid should be only if everything else failed. Try gaviscon, it’s got pretty much the same success rate...

Try to fix your heartburn problem in another way, ppi is by design fucking up your digestive system. Stomach is meant to be acid, if not acid enough digestion will no happen properly resulting in suboptimal nutrient absorption. Who the fuck is still prescribing that shit long term?
