    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?

    Proper mouth microbiome is probably underestimated. They try to sell you cleaning the tooth as a fix, but you're really just throwing the dust under the carpet and not fixing the issue, which usually is proper mouth bacteria need a somewhat basic mouth, which is going to be fucked up by sugar...

    On the bright side, it now seems to be commonly accepted that it can be reversed, just asked Grok, and he flat out said it could be reversed. I think many believe it can possibly be cured, but as it took a long time to happen, even with perfect lifestyle, it's going to be a long journey to...

    I'm skeptical that any amount of not sitting can offset the 300 g of industrial carbs that the average American is ingesting daily. Especialy as they can't go 30 minutes without their shot of corn syrup in a way or another. This just kill their metabolism. At a dose like this, industrial carbs...

    I'm convinced they’re both a cause of the same problem and therefore cleaning won’t help your heart. Specifically, too much sugar which cause acidity in your mouth which cause tartar on the teeth and also cause inflamation of the vascular system. Reestablishing proper pH with gargling baking...

    Artificial sweeteners are likely to damage gut bacteria, which could translate into increased risk of everything (auto immune disorders, alzeihmer's, cancer...) but the increase in risk is difficult to measure in actual studies, unlike actual sugar. Therefore the increase in risk is at least 10x...

You're slightly obese, but still obese, meaning you probably have constantly fairly high blood sugar, which causes inflamation, and all sort of problems.

    Polyps? You're talking colon cancer? Colon cancer is another beast. If you're at risk, screening is indeed a good idea. I don't think very many people do not die of their colon cancer if left untreated.

    It looks like 95% of the prostate cancer are benign, so it seems the correct, and current way to deal with it, is to not look for it unless there are symptoms. You don't want to reduce your life expectancy by taking serious cancer treatment for something that won't bother you and much less kill...

    Half of 90 years old have prostate cancer. Very few die of it. Only 2% of men die of it. Would seem to be one of the least dangerous and to progress very slowly in the vast majority of case. To the point that screening isn't recommanded in most cases.

    It's probably better to rotate your vitamin rather than taking the same all the time. I know chinese doctors like to give a different prescription for each season. Intuitively it seems a good idea.

    Yeah in mankind's history people definitely used to eat the exact same amount of calories every day. That's how our body is supposed to work! Considering the various beneficial mechanisms triggered by fasting, it's a bit silly to not do it on occasion, and therefore you need also to run a...

    I always drift back to old, and bad, habits. That's the natural thing to do... brain sees available food, brain wants it. That's where fasting is magical. A few days of fasting resets everything. And I believe it to be better anyway, to alternate fasting period for waste elimination and then...

    This is a bit suboptimal, as the optimal is around 200-230 but fasting will temporarily increase TC and decrease HDL, I guess if you've been in 500+ caloric restriction for weeks you could be in a state similar to fasting, so you might have normalized you cholesterol already, you'll know in a...

    Sounds like you did everything right. How 'high' is your cholesterol ? When you're that much in calorie deficit for an extended period of time, might be wise to not work out hard, but just increase light exercice, like simply walking more. You just need to signal your body you need your...

    It's too hard to be 'deep' in keto for an extended period of time, and not clear you should. That's why most people moved away from it. If you're on/off you're already doing better than most people doing keto, but in fact are just low carb, but not enough to actualy be in ketosis. And it...

    Eating properly is indeed difficult, but it's not something you can't manage. 250g of Steak one meal, 4 eggs and 100g of Ham/Sardine the other and you're at 120g of protein, which should be enough for building muscle, and definitely a whole lot better for your health in the long run than protein...

    Depend on what you're trying to achieve. If you're trying to lose weight, might be better to eat after walking, with lot of fat/protein to try to not overeat. If you're trying to fix or prevent diabetes, walking right after eating will significantly decrease blood glucose peak. If you're...
