How to Get Rid of Acne Fast

Today we’re going to talk about the fattest country in the world. In this country, the average person weighs 225 pounds. This country also has the highest rate of diabetes. Nauru, a small island in the South Pacific with a population of 11,000, is the fattest country in the world. The island of Nauru was a rich source of phosphate and quickly became one of the richest countries in the world. When all of the phosphate was depleted from the land, the country went into a deep state of poverty where it has remained ever since. Nauru’s obesity rate went from 2% to 61%. This was caused by the shift from a traditional diet of fish, coconuts, fruits, vegetables, taro, palm oil, and coconut oil without any grains or seed oils to a Westernized diet of processed foods. Nauru’s soils have been depleted, so they’re no good for growing food. Over 40% of the marine life has been destroyed by pollution, and nearly 100% of the food is imported. Even water must be imported into Nauru. Ultra-processed foods typically contain the following three types of ingredients that can cause many consequences for your health: 1. Artificial starches: Modified food starch, modified corn starch, maltodextrin 2. Synthetic sugars: Corn syrup, glucose syrup 3. Highly inflammatory seed oils: Corn, cottonseed, canola, soy, and safflower oils Seed oils are the only trending item that parallels obesity, even more than sugar! They create nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and cause you to feel hungry after eating.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what to drink while fasting. Water won’t kick you out of ketosis, but water quality varies greatly. Tap water is generally pretty toxic, and plastic water bottles contain microplastics. Glass water bottles are a better option, but they can be costly. Canned water often contains BPA. Unless you have access to a well or spring water, a water filter is best. Crystal Quest water filters are cost-efficient and work well. Some people find that they feel more hydrated after drinking carbonated water. Carbonated water contains carbon dioxide, which helps drive oxygen into your tissues. Carbonated water is also slightly more acidic, which may be helpful for digestion. You can add apple cider vinegar to your water to increase energy, help with insulin resistance, improve mitochondrial function, and help improve a fatty liver. While fasting, you can also add electrolyte powder or sea salt to your water. If you’re doing one meal a day, it's especially important you’re getting enough salt. Stevia is fine on keto, but oftentimes, you’ll see maltodextrin added to stevia-sweetened beverages. Keto-friendly sweeteners that will not kick you out of ketosis include erythritol, monk fruit, and stevia. You can drink coffee without sugar while fasting—just be careful not to overdo it with caffeine. Try using heavy cream for your coffee rather than half-and-half. Bulletproof coffee involves adding coconut oil, MCT oil, or butter to your coffee. For some people, this can hinder weight loss. Tea is also fine while fasting. Coffee and tea can sometimes deplete vitamin B1. If this happens to you, simply supplement vitamin B1 and decrease your consumption of coffee and tea. Most people can not consume coconut water while fasting due to its sugar content. Alcohol kicks you out of ketosis and autophagy. Kombucha is okay in small amounts, but don’t consume too much because it is high in sugar. Shakes or smoothies are fine on keto but can inhibit fasting because of the calories. Smoothies are better consumed closer to a meal, not while you’re fasting.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the healthiest foods and some of the unhealthiest foods. Food is defined as that which is eaten to sustain life, provide energy, and promote the growth and repair of tissues. By this definition, everything we eat should not be defined as food! Ultra-processed foods do not sustain life, provide energy, or promote the growth of tissues. Ultra-processed foods, also known as junk foods, create the most disease. Ultra-processed foods can be described as foods that have been altered in an extreme way, either chemically, mechanically, or with heat. These “foods” should be completely eliminated from the diet. Foods like Doritos are packed full of chemically altered GMO ingredients. They contain large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids and are shelf-stable for long periods of time. Ultra-processed foods often contain three main ingredients: synthetic sugars, synthetic starches, and synthetic seed oils. Avoid these ingredients. Here are the 8 healthiest foods: 1. Red meat–Grass-fed, grass-finished beef is excellent for your health and is one of the highest sources of glutamine. 2. Wild-caught fatty fish–Salmon and other fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. 3. Shellfish–Shrimp, clams, mussels, and other shellfish contain omega-3s, but they’re also a rich source of trace minerals. Oysters are one of the best sources of zinc. 4. Eggs–Choose organic pasture-raised eggs. 5. Fermented vegetables–Sauerkraut and kimchi are excellent sources of probiotics and vitamin C. 6. Leafy greens–Arugula, spinach, and high-quality lettuce contain folate, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. Consuming dairy with spinach can reduce oxalates. 7. Organ meats–Beef liver, cod liver, and other organ meats are rich in many vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. 8. Herbs and spices–Garlic, onion, sage, thyme, sea salt, basil, and cinnamon all have unique properties and important health benefits.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find good information on how to support a healthy body. Sifting through the various ideas on health and wellness can be overwhelming, and many suggestions are outdated at best—and deadly at worst. If you want to ruin your health, common health advice like eating everything in moderation or having multiple small meals a day are good places to start. If you want to take back your health—if you want to know how to thrive and not just (barely) survive, you’ve made it to the right place. In my videos, articles, books, and many other resources, I don’t just focus on weight loss. I promote a healthy, natural way of supporting the body and taking your well-being to the next level. Remember, it’s not "lose weight to get healthy." It’s "get healthy to lose weight."

In this podcast, we’re going to look at some of the signs and causes of dementia and things you can do to combat dementia. The first sign of dementia can occur as early as ten years before you have any cognitive changes. It takes many years for dementia to develop, and sensory changes that involve the loss of smell and vision often occur well before any other symptoms. Here are 10 of the most common early signs of dementia: 1. Sensory problems (loss of smell) 2. Sensory problems (vision) 3. Sleeping problems 4. Agitation/Low tolerance to stress 5. Restlessness 6. Aggression 7. Memory issues 8. Emotional drop (depression, anxiety, lack of emotion) 9. Incontinence 10. Constipation Memory issues can show up as an inability to recognize the time on a clock, mixing up words, lagging before answering questions, loss of spatial recognition, and lack of focus or concentration. Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance are often seen in people who have dementia. Insulin resistance deprives the nerve cells of fuel, which is why Alzheimer's is commonly referred to as type 3 diabetes. Chronic inflammation can be caused by poor diet and consuming refined sugars, refined starches, and refined oils. Head trauma, heavy metals, infection, and high blood pressure can also contribute to dementia. So, what can you do? Here are 11 ways to effectively combat dementia: 1. Exercise 2. Have good sleep habits 3. Get on the Healthy Keto Diet 4. Do intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting 5. Increase omega-3 fatty acids 6. Increase intake of B vitamins 7. Increase vitamin D 8. Try using a sauna 9. Take resveratrol and NAD 10. Consume probiotics 11. Try cold therapy DATA: https://www.omicsonline.org/open-acce... https://aparadiseforparents.com/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...

In this podcast, I’m going to share a recipe for a powerful, natural antibiotic drink that you can make at home. The overuse of antibiotics is a major issue in the United States. Overuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance. This means that the microbes that are not killed by the antibiotics become stronger and resistant. When you take antibiotics again, they don’t work as well anymore. Antibiotics do not kill yeast or viruses, but they do kill good microbes that keep the yeast at bay. This is why a common side effect of antibiotics is an overgrowth of candida or yeast. Weaker antibiotics like penicillin and tetracycline work by slowing the growth of microbial reproduction. Stronger antibiotics like Cipro and Levaquin come with strong side effects and a black box warning. If you have to take stronger antibiotics, always take magnesium, vitamin E, and probiotics along with them. After taking antibiotics, it could take weeks or even years to get your original microbes back. Because 80% of your immune system is your microbiome, this can have detrimental effects on your natural immunity. Antibiotics naturally come from molds and other microorganisms found in the soil. These natural compounds have anti-inflammatory effects, antimicrobial effects, anti-diabetic effects, and anticancer effects. Here is the recipe for a natural antibiotic drink that should be taken at the first sign of a cough or illness: •3 cloves garlic •90 drops Echinacea extract •1 whole organic lemon (peel included) •1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar •1 tablespoon raw honey •16 ounces water Blend all ingredients for about 45 seconds. Drink ⅓ of the mixture 3 times per day. If you’re in the middle of an infection, do this for the duration of the infection. You should notice a diminishing of symptoms, and you should sleep better. Also, take 50,000 IUs of vitamin D3 and 100 to 150 mg of zinc to boost your immune system.

Today, I’m going to share a few weight loss tips that will help you tap into fat-burning very quickly. Weight loss can be simple if you utilize the right techniques! 1. Follow a keto diet—consume the right fats and the right types of protein. A keto diet is low in carbs, but there are some specific guidelines you should follow to lose weight quickly. Avoid omega-6 fatty acids found in seed oils like corn oil, soy oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil. Consumption of these ultra-processed, highly inflammatory seed oils directly correlates with obesity rates. Seed oils are often hidden in salad dressings and fast food and can even be found in animal feed. It’s also important to choose the correct proteins on keto. Opt for high-quality proteins like grass-fed, grass-finished beef and wild-caught fish. 2. Eat a large salad every day. A large salad each day provides potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin C, and phytonutrients. If your salad greens are grown in healthy, living soil, the salad also provides probiotics. This helps diversify the microbiome, helping you to lose weight quickly. If you have gut issues, consume fermented vegetables or eliminate vegetables altogether. 3. Combine the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. To lose fat quickly, combine keto with intermittent fasting. Dropping to one meal per day (OMAD) yields the fastest results. On one meal a day, you will fast for 23 hours. This gets your body adapted to running on fat very quickly. You’ll also notice cognitive improvements, positive mood changes, and decreased inflammation. 4. Exercise regularly, but don’t overdo it! Walking and HIIT are the best exercises to lose belly fat fast. Walking every day speeds up weight loss, reduces stress, and improves sleep. Improved sleep reduces cortisol and enhances growth hormones, both of which are necessary for weight loss. HIIT exercise involves short, intense workouts that work all muscle groups. Do not overdo it with exercise! You only need to do HIIT 1 to 3 days per week.
