2022-05-10 18:57:43 Chocolate is a superfood, but there are a few things you need to watch out for.⁠
⁠
If it's made with milk, the milk blocks the polyphenols from being absorbed by your body and you won’t get the benefits. Milk chocolate and other chocolates are made with way too much sugar. If you can get chocolate with 0 sugar, that’s amazing. You also want at least 72% dark—ideally 85% dark.⁠
⁠
Chocolate can be a source of oxalic acid. If you are sensitive to oxalic acid, watch your chocolate consumption. Chocolate quite often contains the same fermentation toxins (mycotoxins) as coffee, wine, and beer - specifically ochratoxin or OTA.⁠
⁠
Chocolate is also naturally fermented with a species of candida that grows on it. If you have yeast issues, you might want to steer away from *raw* chocolate in favor of roasted chocolate, which is far more common. But if you are like most of us, a few squares of high-quality dark chocolate can improve your nitric oxygen levels. Open / Comment

2022-05-09 20:27:57 Here are some tips to lose weight the right way:

1. Stop going on crash diets: Most people that go on crash diets end up gaining the weight they lost back, plus more. Find a diet that you can sustain, is enjoyable, and makes you feel good, like the Bulletproof Diet.

2. Cycle in and out of ketosis: Too much ketosis for too long can mess with your hormones, making it harder to shed weight. Practice cyclical ketosis to promote hormone balance and metabolic flexibility, so your body knows how to burn both fats and carbohydrates efficiently.

3. Support your detox systems: The reason you might feel so horrible when you lose weight is because your body stores toxins the fat. To feel good while losing weight, go slowly and support your detox systems with glutathione, activated charcoal, and sweat sessions in the sauna.

2022-05-09 02:05:49 Do science headlines like this kind of make you happy?

In the 18 century, King Gustav of Sweden seems to have hated his population enough to basically outlaw coffee. (Out of ancestral revenge, today Sweden is the top coffee consumer per capita on the planet.)

Anyway, the king pulled two twin brothers off death row if one would drink tea every day and the other would drink three pots of coffee daily until death.

Both brothers lived longer than the king and longer than two sets of doctors assigned to monitor them. And the coffee brother lived longer than the tea brother, who lived to be 83.

The moral of the story? Coffee and tea are good for you, probably because of polyphenols. And forcing people to be medical guinea pigs at the threat of their life is mean.

Deciding to quit drinking coffee and tea to improve yourself is exactly the same kind of logic that would have you eating fake meat instead of real food. It’s not science at all. Open / Comment

2022-05-08 02:02:43 Which would you choose? ⁠
⁠
In a world where most “health experts” recommend “fiber-rich” brown rice (check it out, the fiber content isn’t even that high anyway), it might surprise you that I’ll always choose white rice over brown rice. This is because the lectins and phytates (types of anti-nutrients) found in the hull, which are removed when processing white rice.⁠
⁠
Brown rice also contains about 80% more arsenic than white rice. This is because when rice takes up arsenic from the soil, it concentrates it in the outer layer, which is removed in white rice. Open / Comment

2022-05-06 21:50:24 Putting porous tape over your mouth while you sleep might sound insane, but for the past four years, I have taped my mouth every night. It totally works. Even my kids do it. ⁠
⁠
Here are some benefits:⁠ ⁠
⁠
1. It reduces sleep apnea and snoring: Studies show that in patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea, porous tape over the mouth encourages nasal breathing and can reduce lapsed breathing and snoring.⁠
⁠
2. Reduces cavity risk: When you breathe through your mouth, this sets up an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that can cause cavities and tooth decay. ⁠
⁠
3. Fights bad breath: Mouth breathing can lead to dry mouth, contributing to bad breath. ⁠
⁠
4. Reduces blood pressure: Breathing through your nose increases nitric oxide levels, opening blood vessels. This opening of blood vessels can help lower your blood pressure. ⁠
⁠
5. Strengthens immunity: Our noses can filter the air we breathe, reducing the risk of contracting a pathogen. When you breathe through your nose vs. your mouth, you have an extra layer of protection! Open / Comment

2022-05-05 19:35:15 EMFs aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, so instead of waiting around to see what the consequences are, I’ve researched some ways to avoid overexposure.

One of the companies I came across is called Leela Quantum. Their necklace is called the Leela Quantum Capsule.

It can be filled with up to five titanium spheres, all charged with neutral frequencies. This makes them ideal for transmitting quantum energy and passing it on to other elements and materials.

Basically, Leela Quantum products can strengthen and improve your whole body’s energetic system in lots of ways. Several studies from Europe, plus randomized, sham controlled double-blind by Dr. Beverly Rubik in the US prove it works. You’ll be able to concentrate better and have more resistance to stress. I've seen great changes in my sleep and relaxation.

2022-05-04 19:24:43 Actually, we do know!

Caffeine is a very weak (inconsequential) diuretic.

The most common toxin in coffee is OTA, which comes from mold. It’s not regulated in the US, so when China, Japan, and the EU reject moldy coffee, we happily drink it in the US.

And then we pee. Because OTA is a potent bladder and kidney toxin linked to cancer, the body quickly pulls liquid from your plasma (dehydrating) to dilute the toxin, so your kidneys and bladder take less of a hit.

Then your body tells you to pee urgently, even though your bladder isn’t full.

Coffee shouldn’t make you pee. It shouldn’t give you anxiety. It shouldn’t make you crave sugar.

It’s supposed to make you feel dangerously good, not weak! Open / Comment

2022-05-01 18:53:11 Here’s why I love saturated fat

- It gives you steady energy: Saturated fats fuel your brain and mitochondria and help give you steady energy and laser focus.

- It’s crucial for nervous system health: Myelin is the material that lines your nerves, and it is made mainly of saturated fat. Without enough myelin, your neurons can’t properly transmit signals.

- It’s highly stable: Saturated fats don’t have double bonds in their tails, making them much less prone to oxidation and damage.

Saturated fats have gotten a bad rap for no reason. Studies show that saturated fat intake has no impact on heart disease risk and may even be protective in some cases. Some of my favorites are grass-fed butter, beef, and coconut oil.
