Let’s talk about how to get rid of bloating fast. When it comes to a problem with the digestive system, the first thing you need to do is consider what you’re eating. You can try consuming fewer foods to help isolate what’s causing you to bloat the most. It’s important to consider what you ate just before you noticed you were bloated. This will give you a big clue as to what’s causing you to bloat. One of the best things to do for bloating is intermittent fasting. The more frequently you eat, the more bloating problems you’ll have. Gas produced by microbes in your gut can also cause bloating. When trying to get rid of bloating, avoiding certain things is way more important than taking certain things. Common foods to avoid to help with bloating: • Fruit • Beans • Grains • Refined sugars • Sugar alcohols • Starches • Maltodextrin or dextrin • Functional fibers • Prebiotics • Gluten • Lactose • Casein • Nuts or nut butter • Vegetables Other potential causes of bloating: • Stress • Constipation • Menstrual cramps

Let’s talk about the importance of exercise for your health by looking at the benefits and what could happen if you don’t exercise. A sedentary lifestyle can have a lot of negative effects. An interesting research paper suggests that inactivity is the primary cause of over 35 chronic illnesses. Keep in mind that it’s essential to also focus on recovery after exercise to really benefit from it. Top benefits of exercise for your health: 1. It increases mitochondrial biogenesis and oxygen in the mitochondria. 2. It increases immune defense. 3. It may help decrease the risk of 13 types of cancer and decrease the side effects of chemo. 4. It supports neurogenesis and can have positive effects on your memory and mood. 5. It increases oxygen throughout the organs. 6. It may help lower blood sugar levels and decrease insulin resistance. 7. It increases elasticity in the skin, joints, muscles, and arteries. 8. It’s the only activator of muscle growth. 9. It increases DNA repair. 10. It can help support weight loss, shrink a fatty liver, and counter bad habits. 11. It increases growth hormone and testosterone and decreases insulin. 12. It lowers cortisol. It also helps reduce oxidative stress, mental stress, physical stress, and stress on the body from pollution.

Let’s talk about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and what would happen if you started consuming them more often.  Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the body, but our bodies can’t produce them.  You can get omega-3 fatty acids by consuming a high-quality cod liver oil or fish oil supplement. I prefer cod liver oil because it has additional vitamin A and vitamin D.  However, it’s best to get your omega-3 fatty acids from food. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include:  • Fatty fish  • Sardines  • Grass-fed beef • Organ meats  • Eggs  EPA and DHA are important omega-3s. EPA mainly helps reduce inflammation. DHA primarily helps support the brain. Omega-3 fatty acids may even help people with asthma and allergies.  Consuming more omega-3 fatty acids may potentially help with certain symptoms, including: • Dry eyes  • Dermatitis  • Macular degeneration  • Arthritis  • Arrhythmias  • High blood pressure  • Leg cramps  • Insomnia   • Menstrual cramps  More potential benefits of consuming omega-3 fatty acids:  • Improvements in fatty liver disease  • Increased calcium absorption   • Decreased risk of certain types of cancer  One small issue some people experience after taking fish oil is burping. You can take fish oil in capsule form, which shouldn’t cause burping. If you’re vegan or are allergic to fish, a good alternative is consuming algae.  It’s important to note that omega-6 fatty acids compete with omega-3 fatty acids. One of the biggest causes of a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids is excess consumption of omega-6 fatty acids.  If you have trouble absorbing fats easily, you may want to try taking purified bile salts to increase the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.  DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3206354/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3076650/ Test Link Here: https://omegaquant.com/what-is-the-omega-3-index/

Today I want to cover the different signs of a deficiency in trace minerals. Trace minerals are minerals needed in tiny or trace amounts. A few examples of important trace minerals are zinc, iodine, selenium, and iron. Trace minerals are essential for enzymes, which are proteins that run the body. Symptoms of zinc deficiency: • Hair loss • White spots on the nails • Low testosterone • Diarrhea Symptoms of iron deficiency: • Anemia (weakness, fatigue, cold sensation) • Brittle nails • Hair loss Symptoms of selenium deficiency: • Infertility • Fatigue • Hair loss Symptoms of iodine deficiency: • Swelling in the lower part of the neck You might not notice any symptoms right away, but a trace mineral deficiency could contribute to all kinds of chronic diseases later in life. It could even increase your risk of cancer. The best sources of trace minerals: 1. Seafood 2. Organ meats 3. Eggs 4. Seaweed or sea kelp 5. High-quality sea salt DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30095136/

Today, I want to share the best natural alternative for Viagra. In many cases, people with erectile dysfunction have normal hormone levels. But, they also typically have high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, or are smokers. Erectile dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of peripheral artery disease. Other symptoms of peripheral artery disease can include: • Cold feet • Painful legs • Cramping in the lower legs • Color changes in the lower legs • Slow healing • Loss of hair on the lower legs It’s crucial to fix the root cause of erectile dysfunction by healing the endothelial layer. Getting on the keto diet is one of the best things you can do to start addressing this issue. In the meantime, several natural remedies for erectile dysfunction can be combined into one simple drink. Ingredients: • 1 cup of juice from watermelon rinds • The juice of one medium beet (or two tsp. beet powder with eight oz. of water) • 1 cup celery juice Optional ingredient: • Dark, leafy green vegetables Blend the above ingredients and drink one glass of this remedy every morning for four to six weeks. Nose breathing and exercise may also be beneficial to help with erectile dysfunction. It’s also important to note that viewing porn may lead to porn-induced erectile dysfunction.

Let’s talk about the benefits of magnesium and the dangers of magnesium deficiency. A deficiency in magnesium could put you at risk for certain health concerns, such as: • High blood pressure • Arrhythmias • Tetany or twitching • Leg or foot cramps • Fatigue • Diabetes • Insulin resistance • Depression • Inflammation The RDAs for magnesium are 300 to 750 mg. But some people may need much higher amounts. It’s important to consume foods high in magnesium and avoid certain things that deplete magnesium. Foods rich in magnesium are the ones high in chlorophyll, which would be green vegetables. The top things that deplete magnesium are sugar and refined carbohydrates. Other things that can lead to a magnesium deficiency include: • Diarrhea • Diuretics • Antibiotics • Alcohol consumption • Age For a magnesium supplement, you have a few different good options, including: • Magnesium citrate • Magnesium lactate • Magnesium glycinate • Magnesium aspartate • Magnesium gluconate Magnesium is important for the absorption of vitamin D and B vitamins. It also helps support healthy cortisol levels, which can reduce stress and help you sleep better.

Let’s talk about how to fix the adrenal body type. Your adrenals help adapt the body to stress—they have a lot to do with fight or flight. However, this system is meant to deal with short-term physical stress, not the chronic mental stress many people undergo now. Trauma, chronic stress, or even surgery can lead to adrenal dysfunction. Adrenal dysfunction is also known as adrenal fatigue, adrenal burnout, or adrenal stress. Top symptoms of adrenal fatigue or the adrenal body type: • Low-stress tolerance • Overthinking (especially at night) • High blood sugar • High cholesterol • Fat in the liver and visceral organs • Gastritis • High blood pressure • High pulse rate • Asthma • Inflammation • Calcium deficiency • Potassium deficiency • Sodium deficiency • Vitamin D deficiency • Memory loss • Brain fog • Getting out of breath while climbing stairs • Salt cravings The best nutrients for adrenal burnout: • Vitamin C (sauerkraut, bell peppers, leafy green vegetables, lemons, limes, and berries) • Potassium (large salads) • Sodium (sea salt) • Vitamin B1 (unfortified nutritional yeast) How to fix adrenal fatigue: 1. Decrease stress 2. Get on the keto diet with higher amounts of high-quality protein and nutrients that are good for adrenal fatigue 3. Exercise (high-intensity exercise and long walks) 4. Take adaptogens (ashwagandha) DATA: https://www.researchgate.net https://www.ahajournals.org https://www.endocrine-abstracts.org https://jamanetwork.com

Let’s talk about water fasting vs. dry fasting. Water fasting is when a person only consumes liquids for a period of time. When a person does dry fasting, they’re not consuming food or liquids. One of the biggest benefits of fasting is autophagy. Autophagy is a condition where your body recycles damaged proteins and turns them into new enzymes and structural proteins. Autophagy also helps you get rid of pathogens. Detoxification is just as important, if not more important, in some cases, as getting plenty of nutrients. One of the big purposes of sleep is to detoxify your cells. Fasting, especially dry fasting, mimics a lot of the benefits of sleep. It’s important to note that about eight to ten percent of the water you get is produced by your own cells, which also enhances detoxification. But, if you drink a lot of water, your body doesn’t get a chance to produce metabolic water. Dry fasting is essentially enhanced autophagy. Anything you can do to remove extra waste from the body is a great thing, especially for longevity. Top benefits of dry fasting: • It can help remove intracellular toxicity • It can help strengthen biochemical machines • It can help improve mitochondrial function • It’s a strong epigenetic stimulus • It can mimic some of the benefits of a deep sleep You may want to test out a dry fast and do it gradually to see how you feel. A good place to start would be not consuming any water during a 16-hour fast. Then, when you eat, drink plenty of liquids.
