 Welcome to Holistic Health Talk, I'm your host James Pieddinadonna and another week is flown by. This is the first Holistic Health Talk show of 2024 beginning of February and I want to welcome everyone and hopefully everyone is eating healthy, organic, detoxifying, exercising safely and doing well for 2024. Now I don't believe in New Year's resolutions because if you did the right thing for the year passed you wouldn't need New Year's resolutions to join a health club. And here he is, the one and only, my co-host, the Commodore, Jeff Zanbello, let me pipe him aboard our pirate ship, our Holistic Health Pirate Ship, how are you sir? Excellent, it was a good weekend. Oh wow, and he had his lunch at a great Turkish restaurant in the Maritime Provinces of Canada and that's the baklava, that's the delicious baklava made with the phyllo dough and I guess walnuts and pistachios, made on premises, made on the premises which I am assuming before the establishment opens up for business, they are there very early preparing everything and that's how the restaurant business is, I know that the fish mongering business was a, it really began in the wee hours of the morning because they had to pick up the fresh catch at the marina, but unfortunately the fresh catch at the marina in the Maritime Provinces goes elsewhere, it is export, but that's another story, but I just want to remind everyone that make sure you're eliminating lectins from your foods before you eat them, the nightshade family like peppers and potatoes and eggplant and tomatoes, make sure you get that skin off, once you get that skin off then you're pretty much lectin free and it's safe to eat it, even almonds, I get the skinless slivered almonds because the skin is high in toxic lectins, lectins are mother nature's defense by preventing animals from eating certain foods so they can propagate the species, that's the reason why mother nature puts lectins in certain foods, now here's a snack that, well if you boil them it will destroy the lectins, if you boil the almonds or, yeah that's a tough nut to crack, no pun intended because you got a pretty big bag of almonds, I'll tell you, it lets me do a good shit, so it gives me the shit, so I really like it, I do really randy from South Park every day, you know I played some, the last time I played South Park episodes I got warnings from YouTube about copyright infringement, so it's not just music, I was playing clips, I was playing clips of the episode where they were making fun of people from New Jersey and I was playing clips that had the guys that looked like they worked out, they had a fake tan and the spandex shirts on, I showed it to you, they were making fun of the Jersey short show, so I got a whole bunch of, Mike the situation, yeah the situation, he's a DJ I think, so I got all kinds of copyright warnings from YouTube and they actually took it, they removed it from my video, they took it off, they censored me, so even episodes of a popular long running show is also copyrighted which is crazy, it looks like the other Jabronis, Jumbalonis are late, they know what time I start the show, but when they come they come, and if they tell me they're coming and they don't come I'm going to savagely bash them on this show, savagely, because I, Michael Hilton they're coming too, that's what he said, that's what he said, that's what he said, you know what people say and what they do, you know how it goes, two different things, I was always sincere, I always tried hard to be a man of my word, but not everybody is like that, and you know I rather hear the truth from people even though it might not comply with my suggestion or my wishes, I rather hear the truth than have somebody blow sunshine up my ass and you know or smoke and bullshit me, now I figure I wait for before I do any sports tour, I figure I wait for Ronnie Simpson because he's very knowledgeable in the fine detail of what's going on in the sports world, but you know we could talk about health and fitness and things like that, now I do want to say that doing the planks with the wheel like that article recommended works wonders for my core, for my abdominal muscles I'm telling you, so what I did was I had a bag, I purposely got it from Home Depot, I have, I got a bag of cheap 10 pound bag of cheap crushed black walnut shells that they use for like instead of sandblasting they use the walnut shells because it doesn't damage the item that's being sandblasted, so I got it and I put it in a military, in a navy ditty bag, you know with the drawstring which is a cloth, a little ditty bag, a little ditty bag, a ditty bag, no a ditty bag is like, it's like a laundry bag and I think that's exactly what happened to have a rich father-in-law, yeah to the man that probably put the money for the long beach kettlebell club in Long Beach California and most likely he put up the money because I can't unless unless he went into debt and he any I mean I don't know if he had collateral or anything but to get a business loan because you can't just walk into a bank and say I want to apply for a business loan you know and expect to get it especially with it with a sport that's the fad there's no more kettlebell competitions anywhere nobody you walk into any gymnasium and you mention kettlebells and steel mace and this and that and clubbells and they'll look at you like what the hell is that you know the yeah it's a fad it's a fad you know uh and uh just like an infomercial that comes and goes the people that seminars seminars with the with the mace swinging it's a fad I mean those kettlebells they hurt a lot of people's um shoulders because they're just repetition repetition hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of repetitions but when you think about when you think about repetitive swinging for high volume swinging you have to realize that what causes like um tennis elbow carpal tunnel syndrome uh uh baseball pitches that throw too many fast balls right rotator cuff injuries tendonitis or you know when you think about that it's wear and tear you're doing the same thing over and over and over and over it's like the only thing you can do even if you do sex too many times you're going to get a pretty damn sore down there yeah you know it's like the secret the thing with the human body is moderation you have to get them polysporin the the human body needs to recuperate yeah from from stress it needs to rebuild and and if you're doing high volume of anything I mean just think about it the tennis player even one's even one Jeremy has to recover right yeah that's what i'm saying like a tennis player let's say they're right handed and hit the ball hit the ball hit the ball in practicing and in tournaments they hit bing bong bing bing bing but it that's how they get tennis elbow they get the the inflammation of the elbow tendon yeah you know the same thing with like even golf golf yeah let's say Nolan Ryan when he was known for his fastball I mean or Roger Clems wherever he throw too many fastballs hey Bart Robinson you said hey guys walking at the local park beautiful day hey guys walking at the local park beautiful day you know what we had about two weeks of solid dark clouds and rain with no sun now we've had a couple days of crystal clear dry no clouds in the sky the sun is out you know what you picked a good day because Bart you picked a good day to do some speed walking or even bicycling because the weather is still very cool and when it's cool and dry and and beautiful like this on a clear day all that was that Robert Goulet used to sing that something like that sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy jizz him on my shoulders yeah but I'm trying to see we have we humor you on this show also we educate you and we humor so you know it's all right I know we digress sometimes but uh where's Bart say Bart had to get some sun on my pale white face so you're like me you're you're a lily white Caucasian heterosexual male you're single or you're divorced right Bart I was too lazy to skip rope today you know what God bless you if you could skip rope I tried I tried I was so awkward I tripped on the damn thing I even bought I'm I shouldn't have gave it away I bought an Everlast rope a jump roper with the ball bearing inside and a leather I love the leather yeah made by the box the famous boxing supply company Everlast it was a it was a leather strap yep no rope a leather strap with a ball bearing get the leather cord right and I was a jackass for getting rid of it because I couldn't jump rope but I should have kept the freaking thing because it was freaking it was an Everlast it was it like I said it was great you know uh uh you'll see Bart says cook it up cook it up some ground deer meat later oh and a couple cold cheap beer so when you say cheap you mean like macro beers with preservatives and chemicals in it yeah right now I'm making from scratch I have a big stock pot of Cuban style black bean soup boiling right now and I always love black beans black beans I like black beans black beans are high in antioxidant polyphenols because of the pigmentation that makes them black any any any brightly colored or deep colored food has any is strong in antioxidant uh and both beans are healthy anyway but I soaked it overnight I soaked it overnight I got rid of the lectins because beans are notorious for being high in lectins I strained that put it in the in the calendar I strained it I washed them really good got all the dust and dirt and lectins out after soaking them overnight and then I made the soup never single never married fuck no fuck no ha ha you're a we fooled around and had child support for 18 years your wife took you to the cleaners and the poor house heard the voice lawyer fought for you over with no lubrication they go to the dance club do you want to dance um well what do you do for a job what kind of cottage life do you do you rent you home are you almost accomplished can you paint my my children's my my grown-up children's university education for four years when you pick me up for the date and and and take me and wine and dining and what kind of car do you drive what kind of car are you gonna pick me up in oh you're gonna pick me up in an older car whoa I don't like that yeah how come you don't have a brand new car that's gotta be mutual like how come it's always the onus is already always on the mail well I thought they I thought they wanted equality and with the feminism and everything I thought they wanted a female apartment wooden meals and clubs yeah female of series it means they want they want to make the same money or more when it comes to employment as a man but socially they wanted they want special treatment you know but oh yeah well you know what women do in a workplace let's say the woman's getting the same pay as you and she'll say excuse me could you help lift this and put it up on the shelf you're you're you're a big strong guy wait why can't you get us why can't you get a step stool and do it yourself you're getting the same pay as me exactly you know I use a brand called cross ropes very expensive but they're absolutely worth it I wouldn't buy any others well if the performance is that good Bart then if you say they're worth the price it depends on how much you pay for it I mean Miller Highlife schlong I mean Schlitz okay I'll tell you the rope that Dr. mentioned I don't know if that's like a crossfit rope but those crossfit ropes that they make today the high speed ones are awesome maybe that's what he has I mean those things you can't beat it and then they're easily adjustable because there's little screws on the side it's like this wire and it's awesome I would rather have that than an everlasting leather because you can't really adjust the length of the leather yeah oh no oh that's not good you got to be able to adjust the length depending on how tall you are I know maybe maybe I'm wrong but if a lot of guys are awesome or the cords whatever they call them what if a guy's six foot five and he's got long lanky legs and spindly arms long you know long legs he has to adjust the narrow shoulders with a mustache narrow shoulders yeah yeah let me tell Bart crock pot it's good but you know what you should really invest in in a hot air fryer electric hot air fryer everybody I know that has one loves it loves it you make you you you set the temperature the timer and it circulates the air like convection and it browns your food makes the meat crispy and it cooks real fast hot air fryer I'm telling you you can do so much with it my

What does he stick his big nose up the other guy's ass? Well, you're going to give him a pass because many of us in the 80s, 1980s, were on nice dates. Well, Neil Diamond.

He had like Al Jolson and the Burgundy Foxtrot, like all music from the 1920s and, you know, and it was one thing about relatives. When a parent dies, you know, a parent dies or a grandparent's die, they're like vultures when it comes to, you know, confiscating the earthly belongings of it. Yeah, and what's worse is then you go to the funeral and all these distant cousins say, oh yeah, let's get together for lunch. Oh yeah, we can, you know what? We gotta stop running into each other.

Not if I block you, your right wing, uh, Jabroni. I don't block you because you haven't been that bad. Casey at bat. Your old geezer. Do you remember Casey at bat? Hey, yeah, Casey. Oh, by the way, King of Dots, if you were offered $65,000 for your record collection, and it's worth more than $65,000, why don't you sell it? Because you're not getting any younger. If you're a retired old man, what are you going to take? You're going to take it with you? You're going to take it with you like the pharaohs of Egypt? I mean, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? You're always when you're 90 years old, you're going to... Come on, Vesuvius, erupt again. You know what? One of your relatives is going to enjoy the money when the worms get you, when you finally pass on God forbid, your relatives are going to get your records, your albums are going to sell them and they're going to enjoy the money. So what are you waiting for? He thinks he's going to take it with him like the pharaohs. I think that currently my album, Harry Belafonte, live at Carnegie Hall is the most valuable. Men condition, bro. And I hate that pinko. Well, well, you can hate me because I'm part of the pinko patrol. That's true. That's too true. Maradona. So now he's being a real wise ass. I'm right here with one of those waspy guys from the Midwest, but he treats Italian people like they were from Central America, I bet. Yeah, he's one of, yes, he's making fun of my name. These are the real questions that old men ask. I'm only... Well, that reminds me of the comic district when our ancestors came over from the old country and then they were exploited. You must work faster. You must work faster. You must work faster. I bet people that worked for King of Dots were working under sweatshop conditions. You know, I bet he only gave them... Bet he booked. Like a half hour for lunch and if they had to go to the bathroom, he docked their pay for going to the restroom. I bet that's what he's like. 68 years old? Well, when do you wanna enjoy the money from your albums? When? When do you wanna enjoy? When do you wanna enjoy the money? What the hell's wrong with you? The patrol, the PINKO patrol. You're a damn tootin'. And Ronnie S, you're a jabroni. You're a jabroni. Where the hell are you? And you're sitting by the pool under the... You got the cabana boy bringing you drinks and the tiki bar outside. He says, I'm here to watch PINKO's. It gives me purpose in life. Well, the Commodore is conservative. Yeah, but you and I are brothers. You and I have an agreement. We have a treaty. We just keep that out of our relationship and it keeps us grounded. Yeah, because if you... Yeah, because... We have an agreement. If people... You know how many people told me my relationship with you, James, is much more important than my political views. I'm saying, you know how many people told me on Facebook that their longtime friends unfriended them because of the difference in political ideology and everything? That's sad. I mean... It is very sad. We have an agreement that we don't discuss religion or politics and that's it. We disagree on everything else. We love the Red Sox. We love the Yankees. We both hate Cashman with all of our hearts. We yes, and we also... We like Volpi, Anthony Volpi. We like the Martian. And we hate the Stingy, greedy motherfucking owners of the Red Sox who put all the blame on Higham Bloom, their former general manager. The poor guy took the heat for the owners that they didn't want to pay Humphrey Bogarts and... Oh, yeah. Mookie... Yeah, Xander Bogarts. Xander Bogarts, Bogarts, and Mookie Betts. They didn't want to pay them what they're worth. La-da-da-da-da, Casablanca. Da-da-da-da-da. Hold on. Da-da-da-da-da-da. King of Dots is a pain in the ass. He's hoarding his albums when he could be enjoying that money. He thinks he's gonna take it with him. See, it gives him purpose to watch. Well, you know what? That's it. You keep on... Oh, look at this. My dad voted for George Wallace every time. I'm an outside thinker. And you know George Wallace? Let me tell you about George Wallace of Alabama. He was a Democrat, but they called them Dixie Crats because they were like a lot of people in the South are still fighting the Civil War. And he was very racist and after civil rights took effect, they all became Republican because they left the Democratic Party. The Beatles said that money can't buy you love or championships. Well, a gold digger will pretend she loves the guy when she's actually in it for the money. Like remember Anna Nicole, the late Anna Nicole? Oh, yeah. She married this... Lawyer. This billionaire old geezer in his 90s. Yeah, from Texas, a Texas wellman. Texas, she was a go-go dancer living in a trailer camp. And she was discovered by this rich old geezer in the go-go bar. And he hooked her up with Hugh Hefner in Playboy Centerfold of the Year, Playboy Playmate of the Year. And they asked her, somebody asked her, are you married him for his money? And she goes, no, I loves him. That was her answer. I love him. Well, what? His grandmother was a Jehovah witness. Whose grandmother? Whose grandmother? Who's George Wallace? What? No way! No, whose grandmother? He's full of shit. Jehovah's witness. Yeah, listen, you're not gonna take that money with you. You're 68 years old and he won't sell his albums. His worth $65,000. He thinks he's gonna take the money. On the radio, on the radio, on the radio. All right, you know what? I am really fucking... Wait till I tell McFawn Ravens what Ronnie Simpson did. On the radio, on the radio, on the radio. Yeah, whatever. Anyway, you, I'm gonna play some nice health videos. One is on the benefits of garlic and fennel. You think you have to go, James, to the gym pretty soon, yeah? So I might have to better do. Yes, you might have to better do, better bid a do. Let me pipe you away. Better do or do a crap in the toilet. So... Oh, you're percolating too. Yeah, so I have to do a do-do. Better do and do a do-do. Do-do because you need... Where's my poo? You need a colonic evacuation. From all the fuck up. After you evacuate your colon, then you have to evacuate the office. That was quick. I only need you, Maradona. I can't use money. Well, thank you for coming. Anyway, now I'm going to get on with... Oops. Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet. I gotta set this up. Go. So this is... Hello and welcome to MedSimplified. In this video, we'll discuss about the five incredible health benefits of garlic. While garlic is a common ingredient in every kitchen, in the ancient times, it was highly valued for its numerous health-benefiting properties, which are still followed in many cultures today. Our ancestors have been using it as a bug repellent, medieval Europe against plague, and Egyptians would even buried along their dead. Garlic is most commonly used for conditions related to the heart and blood system. It contains a number of chemical compounds that can cure conditions, include high blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol in the blood, skin conditions, various infections, and a variety of other ailments. So in this video, we will be looking at the five amazing health benefits of garlic and the science behind it. Garlic is very good for cardiovascular health. Garlic and its preparations have been used as agents for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases since ancient times. Garlic contains a number of chemical compounds like diallyl tri-sulfide, allicin, et cetera, that have been shown to reduce the levels of LDL cholesterol, which is also known as a bad cholesterol, and leads to atherosclerosis, which is hardening of the blood vessels. Garlic is also very good for people with hypertension or high blood pressure. A study was done in 23 patients, all with high cholesterol. 13 of them also had high blood pressure. They were divided into two groups. The high cholesterol normotensive group, meaning the group which had the normal blood pressure, and the high cholesterol hypertensive group, meaning the group that had high blood pressure. They took garlic extract supplements for four months and were regularly checked for blood lipid parameters, as well as kidney and liver functions. At the end of four months, the researchers concluded that the garlic extract supplementation improves blood lipid profile, strengthens blood antioxidant potential, and causes significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It also leads to decrease in the level of oxidation products in the blood samples, which demonstrates reduced oxidative stress in the body. In other words, garlic extract supplementation reduced high cholesterol levels, and also high blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. Garlic is good for gut health. As most of you may know, our gut contains billions of good bacteria that help in digestion and are very important for a healthy gut. If we don't take proper diet, or if we are taking certain medications like antibiotics, the levels of these good bacteria in our gut decrease, and they can lead to poor digestion, bloating, and diarrhea. Now, there are certain foods that help in the growth of these good bacteria in our gut, and these foods are majorly divided into two types. Prebiotics and probiotics. Garlic is a very good example of a prebiotic. Prebiotics are compounds in food that induce or grow the activity of beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi in our gut. Garlic is naturally high in inulin, which is a type of non-digestible carbohydrate or functional fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your digestive system. And it basically acts as a fuel for those bacteria to do their job better, which makes your gut function better overall. And as per a study in food science and human wellness, garlic actually promotes the growth of friendly bacteria like perfidobacterium, especially in the gut, and prevents disease-promoting bacteria from growing at the same time. If you want to know more about prebiotics and probiotics, click the link in the I button above to learn more. Garlic is good for... Environmental stress could include the aging process, smoking, pollution, traumatic brain injury or excessive alcohol consumption. Oxidative damage from free radicals that are produced in our body contributes to the aging process. Garlic has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, so it promotes brain health. The combined effects of reduced cholesterol and blood pressure, and having significant antioxidant properties, garlic is effective against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Garlic has very good antibiotic properties. Dialycephide, a compound in garlic, has potent antibiotic properties, according to a study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Allicin, one of the active principles of freshly crushed garlic homogeneates, has a variety of antimicrobial activities. Allicin, in its pure form, was found to exhibit antibacterial activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Also, it demonstrated antibiotic activity against multi-drug-resistant strains of E. coli. Garlic also contains another chemical known as ajoine, which is very helpful in fighting fungal infections like ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot. 0.6 to 1% gel of ajoine is available in the market, which seems to be very effective in treatment of fungal infections. Garlic is a good blood purifier. Your blood is responsible for a lot of things, ranging from transporting oxygen, hormones, sugar, fat, and other cells to your immune system, to cleansing your body systems and further keep it moving. Toxins are stored in our body on a daily basis through certain types of foods, pollution, and stress among other factors. Detoxification process boosts the immune system, improves the skin, and regulates healthy changes. Garlic has long been known for its hard benefits. However, garlic is also good at detoxifying the body. Garlic is not only antiviral, antibacterial, and antibiotic, but it also contains a chemical called allicin, which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps to fight against toxins. Evidence also proves that garlic detoxifies the body by protecting the liver from toxic agents. You can also watch our video on top foods to detoxify our body by clicking on the i button above. So these were 5 amazing health benefits of garlic. In the end, I would like to add a note on how you should consume garlic. Freshly crushed or chopped garlic has the most health benefits. Garlic powder and aged garlic extract are also high in healthy compounds. Garlic oil has fewer health properties, but can still be used to add flavor to cooking. The way we prepare garlic affects its strength. Those all-important garlic enzymes are inactivated by heat found is destroyed during cooking. So for getting the maximum health benefits of garlic, it's best to consume raw garlic. Allicin is created when two separate ingredients in garlic connect with each other. One is a protein fragment known as allin, and one is a heat-sensitive enzyme known as allinase. In the intact clove, these substances are isolated in separate compartments and do not co-mingle with each other until we slice, press or chew the garlic and rupture the barriers between them. It has been found that heating garlic immediately after crushing or slicing can destroy the heat-sensitive enzyme which results in allicin not being created. A good way to avoid this is by simply adjusting how we prepare garlic. When we chop, mince, slice or mash garlic, it is best to keep them away for at least 10 minutes before heating them. During this time, the maximum amount of allicin is created and we will get all the medicine we are looking for in garlic even after it is cooked. You can also consider taking garlic supplementation. I have included links to some of the best garlic supplementation in the description box down below. So thank you so much for watching this video. Bad. If you're frequently struggling with urgent toilet trips... What happens to your body if you eat fennel seeds every day? Did you know that fennel is considered one of the oldest medicinal herbs in the world? Fennel has been known to have health benefits for a long time, especially in its native lands. Belonging to the APSE family, the same as carrots, fennel is native to Asia, North America and Europe. This versatile plant is entirely edible, including the green bulb, long stalks, seeds and leaves. Fennel, with its rich history, has been used for various purposes across different cultures and eras. In the Middle Ages, it was believed to scare off evil spirits. Roman warriors chewed on fennel seeds, thinking it would strengthen their bodies. While in ancient Greece, it was commonly used as a weight reduction aid. Each country had its unique use for fennel, leading to our broad understanding today of how and why to utilize it. Fennel, dating back centuries, is considered one of the oldest medicinal herbs worldwide. It is particularly popular in Asia where it is commonly consumed to aid digestion and freshen breath. Fennel is a significant source of potassium, sodium, phosphorus and calcium, all beneficial to health. Research has also suggested that fennel seeds might possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. Discover now seven powerful reasons why you should consume fennel seeds every day. Make sure to watch until the end, because there are some simple tips and recipes for adding more fennel seeds to your diet. One, regulates blood pressure. Fennel, as previously mentioned, is rich in potassium, a key mineral that helps maintain blood pressure within normal ranges. An inadequate intake of potassium can increase the risk of developing high blood pressure. Also, fennel contains other components like calcium and magnesium, all known to aid in decreasing blood pressure. Along with other foods containing dietary nitrates, fennel exhibits vasodilatory and vasoprotective properties, which can contribute to reduced blood pressure and enhanced heart protection. Two, helps clean the blood of toxins. Fennel assists in detoxifying the blood and combating anemia, a common condition often caused by iron deficiency. High in vitamin C, fennel enhances the body's ability to absorb iron when consumed with iron-rich foods. Furthermore, its significant fiber content plays a role in reducing cholesterol levels, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease. Additionally, fennel contains vitamins B6 and folate, which prevent the buildup of homocysteine, a harmful compound that can damage blood vessels and lead to heart complications. Three, boosts digestive health. Fennel has been aiding digestive health for thousands of years, thanks to its anti-inflammatory components. Its high fiber content not only helps prevent constipation but also promotes regular bowel movements, crucial for a healthy digestive tract. Laboratory research suggests that fennel may positively affect including inflammatory bowel disease. In a particular study, fennel seed extract was found to strengthen the intestinal epithelium, which is the protective outer layer of the intestines. These findings have led researchers to consider fennel as a potential complementary and alternative medicine therapy for IBD. Fennel seeds may not only enhance the flavor of your food, but also help in reducing appetite. In a study with nine healthy women, it was found that participants who drank 3.5 ounces, 250 milliliters, of tea made with two grams of fennel seeds, before lunch felt less hungry and consumed fewer calories during their meal compared to those who had a placebo tea. Four, improve sleep. Fennel seeds contain compounds that can help alleviate sleep issues thanks to their calming properties. Rich in anethol and fenchoni, these seeds are known for their muscle relaxing properties. These components may help in reducing stress and anxiety, thereby promoting a more relaxed state that is conducive to improved sleep.

This simple five-second method can help control type 2 diabetes. Leading researchers at the University of Harvard have discovered the real root cause of high blood sugar, and it has nothing to do with what you eat, how much you exercise, or your genetics. It's actually due to zombie cells that surround the pancreas. These zombie cells form a toxic blanket around the pancreas. Six, clears the skin from acne. Fresh fennel is a rich source of vitamin C, essential for collagen synthesis, which forms the structural backbone of the skin. Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from damage caused by sun exposure, pollution, and smoke. Furthermore, the combination of vitamins in fennel improves skin cell function. This comprehensive approach helps reduce cell damage from environmental factors, leading to smoother, more supple, and clearer skin, effectively aiding in acne prevention and promoting a healthier complexion. Fennels' antiseptic properties act as a barrier against germs and bacteria, while its anti-inflammatory qualities help reduce acne-associated swelling. Compounds like limonene, anethyl, and myrcine, all found in fennel, are potent in treating acne. Additionally, fennel serves as a gentle, yet effective natural exfoliator, removing dead skin cells. Within Ayurvedic practices, fennel seeds are key ingredients in treatments targeting cellulite, ensuring hydrated and smooth skin. The effectiveness of fennel seeds in skincare, especially in aiding the elimination of fat and toxins from tissues, is significant. For those using a fennel scrub as part of their cellulite treatment, adding a fennel tea infusion to their diet can enhance the benefits by stimulating internal metabolism. 7. May Reduce the Risk of Cancer Fennel's diverse range of potent plant compounds may play a role in guarding against chronic diseases, particularly certain types of cancers. Anethyl, a primary active compound in fennel seeds, has shown anti-cancer properties in research, particularly in destroying breast cancer cells and hindering the proliferation of both breast and liver cancer cells. While these studies are still in the laboratory phase, their initial findings offer promising insights into fennel's potential cancer-reducing effects. In specific test tube studies, anethyl, a component of fennel, has been shown to suppress cell growth and trigger apoptosis, programmed cell death, in human breast cancer cells. Additionally, fennel extract has demonstrated the ability to inhibit the spread of human breast cancer cells and induce their death. Animal studies also suggest that fennel seed extract may offer protective effects against breast and liver cancer. While there haven't been sufficient human studies to validate these findings, or to recommend fennel as an alternative cancer treatment, the existing results are indeed promising. Selenium, another cancer-fighting component found in fennel, further enhances its potential health benefits. Unique among many fruits and vegetables for its selenium content, fennel contributes to liver enzyme function, aids in detoxifying certain cancer-causing compounds, and has properties that prevent inflammation and may reduce tumor growth rates. What factors contribute to the health benefits of fennel seeds? Fennel is rich in nutrients and components that improve your health. Its antioxidants help especially with eyesight, glaucoma, reduce inflammation, and can also prevent cancer and heart disease. The essential oil derived from fennel has been found to contain over 87 volatile compounds, including notable polyphenol antioxidants like rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and apigenin. These antioxidants possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, significantly impacting overall health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, neurological diseases, and type 2 diabetes. In addition to these benefits, fennel seeds are known to contain more than 28 identified compounds, such as anethyl, fenchone, methyl-chavacol, and limonene, each contributing to its health-promoting properties. How can fennel seeds be used? Fennel is a versatile ingredient widely used in both French and Italian cuisines. Different parts of the fennel plant, including its seeds and leaves, can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. When selecting fennel bulbs, opt for those that are firm, unblemished, and white or pale green in color, with green stalks and straight leaves. Store-dried fennel seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry area. As a vegetable, fennel can be eaten raw or cooked and is a flavorful addition to salads, stews, soups, and can be grilled alongside fish or chicken. Supplements and Capsules For individuals looking for a more concentrated intake, fennel seed supplements or capsules are commercially available. These capsules are often filled with powdered fennel seeds, capturing its essence without the need for preparation. Fennel seeds can also be consumed as a tea, where the seeds are steeped in hot water to produce what is commonly referred to as fennel seeds tea. How to Prepare Fennel Tea Making tea from fennel seeds is a simple and time-efficient task, and it can be enjoyed daily for optimal effects. Although fennel tea might not be your usual preference for a warm beverage on a chilly day, its potent health benefits, supported by research and nutritionists, might persuade you to give it a try. Ingredients 1 tablespoon freshly crushed fennel seeds 1 cup boiling water Optional Honey or sugar for sweetening Preparation An easy method to prepare fennel tea is by adding 1 teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds to a cup of boiling water. Allow it to steep for 10 minutes. Strain the water and drink it immediately. For best results, consume this infusion regularly on an empty stomach. How Much Fennel Should Be Consumed Fennel seeds are generally safe to consume in moderation, though it's important to be aware that they contain chemicals that may not be safe in large quantities. This is particularly true for oils and supplements derived from fennel. Currently, there is no standardized dosage recommendation for fennel, mainly due to insufficient scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for any specific health condition. Dosages used in human, animal, and laboratory studies have varied widely, ranging from as low as 30 mg per kg to as high as 200 mg per kg. Typically, consuming a teaspoon of fennel seeds daily is unlikely to lead to any significant complications or reactions. What are the potential side effects of fennel seeds? The FDA, Food and Drug Administration, considers fennel to be generally safe, but it can have a few side effects if used excessively as a supplement. These side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and photosensitivity. In conclusion, it's always advisable to consult with your doctor before beginning regular consumption of fennel seeds, especially during pregnancy.

Many individuals overlook the fact that certain fruits and vegetables, while generally beneficial, can also have adverse effects. The onion, a prime example, has a rich history of recognized benefits dating back to ancient Greece where it was used for medicinal purposes. Roman warriors consumed onions for strength and courage while athletes in Olympia used them to boost energy for training. Today, onions remain a staple in kitchens worldwide, essential in countless recipes. They also find applications in medicine and beauty treatments. As we explore the health benefits of onions, particularly for heart and vascular health, we discover that they are rich in antioxidants which help reduce inflammation in the intestinal walls. Onions contribute to preventing atherosclerosis by lowering bad cholesterol levels and reducing blood pressure. Recent studies indicate that daily onion consumption can significantly decrease levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing the risk of severe cardiovascular incidents. German researchers have even found that consuming onions daily can reduce blood pressure by up to 7%, serving as a preventive measure against arterial hypertension. Onions also offer remedies for various health conditions. For instance, inhaling the scent of finely chopped onions is a time-tested remedy for flu, colds, and runny noses. Onion broth can be helpful for kidney diseases while onion skin broth may provide relief for head vessel problems and cramps. For nail fungus, daily foot soaks in a strong broth made from onion skins can be effective. Baked onion serves as a remedy for cough, particularly in cases of bronchitis. Regular consumption of onions plays a significant role in cancer prevention, reducing the risk of stomach and colorectal cancers. Onions exhibit promising effects on blood glucose levels, contributing to diabetes prevention. They also strengthen bones, enhancing bone mineral density, and play a vital role in men's and women's health. For men, onions can enhance reproductive function and manage prostate adenoma. For women, onions contribute to hormonal balance, preventing malignant breast tumors and supporting overall reproductive health. However, it's essential to know potential harms and contraindications. While onions are packed with beneficial substances, they may not be suitable for everyone. Common side effects include bad breath and excessive consumption can lead to gastrointestinal disturbances. Onions might trigger arrhythmia in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. Pregnant women should carefully consider onion consumption, ensuring a moderate intake for the healthy development of the fetus. In conclusion, moderation is key when it comes to onion consumption. Whether you're aiming to enjoy their health benefits or prevent potential harms, maintaining a balanced approach is crucial. Remember, onions, when consumed appropriately, can be a valuable addition to your diet, providing essential nutrients for the health of your cardiovascular system and bones. Pairing this ingredient with water before bed balances bigger levels and targets type 2. Most people continue to take blood sugar medications because they still believe diabetes is a hereditary condition, even though new studies are... Things like that. You want to germinate those because you want to get rid of certain anti-nutrients, and one being this phytic acid. So what you could do is you simply soak these things in water with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and then let that sit for about 7 to 12 hours. Okay, and then you rinse it out and then you can actually bake with it or cook with it, whatever, and that way you'll get rid of a lot of the anti-nutrients because this phytic acid will really block the zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, things like that. Really got to be careful of these grains and consume only grains, if you're going to do grains at all, that have no gluten. And that would be oat, quinoa, millet, teff, buckwheat, and then just like a nut flour, you can use almond flour. And any time you are consuming grains, nuts, or anything else like that, you can use almond flour, and you can use almond flour, and you can also use wheat flour. And you can use almond flour, and you can also use almond flour. And it's great. Even for these things. I think you're going to like this. I think if you're really into this, you're going to want to eat this with a lot of iron, so you could make it with iron, zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, things like that. Really gotta be careful of these grains and consume only grains, if you're gonna do grains at all, that have no gluten. And that would be oat, quinoa, millet, teff, buckwheat. And then just like a nut flour, you can use almond flour. And anytime you are consuming grains, nuts, legumes, things like that, you wanna germinate those because you wanna get rid of certain anti-nutrients, and one being this phytic acid. So what you could do is you simply soak these things in water with one tablespoon, apple cider vinegar, and then let that sit for about seven to 12 hours. Okay, and then you rinse it out, and then you can actually bake with it or cook with it, whatever, and that way you'll get rid of a lot of the anti-nutrients, because this phytic acid will really block the zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, things like that. Really gotta be careful. Audible pays me eight to $10,000 every single month in passive income. I did a video recently on the number one best anti-inflammatory food. Today we're gonna talk about the number one inflammatory food on the planet. So there's a lot of confusion in this area of what causes inflammation. You have the vegans telling you that red meat and other types of animal products cause inflammation, and then you have the carnivores over here saying it's the fiber that's causing inflammation, so they get rid of all the fiber and the plants, and all their inflammation goes away. So this is really confusing in the public, like what do you do? There's many plants and herbs that have natural anti-inflammatories, right? Turmeric and milk thistle and stinging nettle root, and many other plants have anti-inflammatories, but of course they also have anti-nutrients, right? Some people might say plants weren't designed for us to consume because they don't want to be eaten. But someone could say the same thing with animals. Animals don't wanna be eaten too, they wanna survive, right? So there's this big battle on this fiber, right? Fiber, is it good? Is it bad? Should we consume more of it? I know personally for me, when I started getting rid of the grain fibers and start consuming more protein, especially for breakfast, a lot of my inflammation and went away. But I also consume a lot of plants and doesn't create inflammation in my gut. So why is it that some people do well on more meat and maybe other people might do better on plants? Now I'm gonna cover this topic in the relationship to inflammation because you have people that have autoimmune diseases and nearly all the autoimmune diseases start in your gut. You also have a lot of people who have allergies to milk, nuts, eggs, gluten. Now there's two really interesting things I wanna just mention right off the bat. They're basically two things that we can't digest. Humans cannot digest fiber. Okay, it's non-digestible. We don't have the enzymes to digest fiber. And also gluten, the protein in grains is the only protein that we can't digest. And now what about this fiber, right? Do we have a problem with fiber? Well, some people can do well with fiber and other people can't. So what breaks down the fiber? It's your microbes. So if you were just to do some research on your own, just type in Google, fiber, gut health, fiber inflammation, gut inflammation, you're gonna just find fiber is anti-inflammatory. You're gonna find that for so many different research articles, we'll tell you that. But it doesn't really explain when a carnivore cuts out the fiber, man, that they feel better, like their autoimmune diseases clear up, their allergies clear up. So what is going on there? Well, what if you were to type unfermented fiber, okay? Like maybe overloading the gut with so much fiber that you can't digest it in some of its unfermented. It's not broken down because the way that microbes deal with fiber is they ferment it. So if you were to just type on that, you're gonna find something really interesting. You're gonna find that unfermented fiber is inflammatory. So that's probably what's happening. And the reason why that's happening is there's some alteration in the gut micro bio. So you just don't have enough of the right microbes to deal with this fiber. If you were like me in practice, you have a lot of experience working with people one-on-one with fiber, without fiber, and the history of maybe when they start developing inflammation. And there's always a timeframe in their life that all of a sudden they can't digest this or all of a sudden they're starting having inflammation. And so it's really important to do a history on what that person consume before that. Whether they develop an allergy as a child or late in life. For me, I can get away with eating anything until I was in my 20s. So if you start asking questions about someone's past, about what they ate, and what would alter the microbes, you get some really interesting information. We know antibiotics destroy your microbes, right? Like 80% of them die off. So people who have had a lot of antibiotics have a lot of gut inflammation. They have more autoimmune, they have more allergies. And also what an infant is fed. They had breast milk, which is loaded with probiotics from birth and a lot of other things to build the immune system. So I think a lot of these inflammatory problems start early on as a child. And if we look at what kids eat, it's a lot of ultra processed foods, aka junk foods. Could this be the source of that? We have salt, we don't have a lot of fiber. We have sugar. We have different forms of sugar. We have different forms of flour with different oils. Maybe it's a combination of all these right here, right? And it's so funny that they call it ultra processed food because it doesn't even resemble food. But before I go any further, I want to share something about ultra processed food companies. This is a little short story, but I wanted to tell you a little bit about the tobacco industry. These companies got to a point where there was just too much mounting evidence that proves that smoking is bad for you. In December, 1953, the CEOs from five tobacco companies met together at a hotel. And they came up with a strategy to counter this. They formed the Tobacco Industry Research Committee to control the science. And they focused on creating doubt. They said as long as doubt and controversy prevailed, the industry could fight off regulations. Because it is the best means of competing with a body of facts that exists in the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy. But what's even more interesting, between 1988 and 2001, certain tobacco companies owned craft, general foods and Nabisco. So apparently a lot of the ultra processed food companies adopted some of these tactics as well. I mean, if you even look at the timeframe between the 80s and now, I mean, obesity has tripled. Kids are developing diabetes. There's conflict of interest with the scientific academies and advisory committees that form our food pyramid. There was an investigation in 2002 into the dietitian organization and found that they were investing in stocks in Nestle, Pepsi-Cola, Johnson & Johnson. So there's a lot of conflict of interest. But the ultra processed food companies have created a lot of doubt and uncertainty into the public. They blame the individual, not the food. They attack the scientists to speak out. They emphasize and promote physical activity over the diet. They deny the existence of harmful foods, saying there's no bad food. It's just bad choices. And they have an endless call for we need more research because it's inconclusive. So in other words, there's a lot of corruption in this area of ultra processed food. And one thing that's very interesting about ultra processed food is that there's a high level of glyphosate. It's in the corn, it's in the soy, it's in the cotton seed oil, canola oils. It's in the wheat products. It's sprayed on the wheat. Did you know that glyphosate is also classified and even patented as an antibiotic? Glyphosate inhibits lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, two main strains of gut bacteria. And out of all the antibiotics that humans have taken, because the widely promoted and sold glyphosate, this is the main antibiotic that's being put into our food. And very unfortunately, we've been put on an antibiotic without even knowing it. And so out of all the combinations of these ingredients, glyphosate is at the top of the list as far as of what it does to our microbiome. Now in plants, what it does is it kills bacteria in soil and then it allows the unfriendly bacteria to overgrow and kill the plant. In fact, in this one report that I read, if you spray glyphosate in the sterile soil where there's no bacteria, apparently it doesn't kill the plant. In other words, you have to strengthen the pathogens by getting rid of the defense mechanism so it can take over the plant. I wonder if this is happening to our guts right now, especially since autoimmune diseases and many allergies start at the gut. And if we've been on an antibiotic for all these years, what is that doing to our inflammation? So as soon as we create enough damage in the gut, now we can't handle the fiber. Why? Because the microbes aren't correct and we're gonna get unfermented fiber and it's gonna irritate us. And this is why people that go on a carnivore diet do much, much better. And then when you change a child's diet and get them off the ultra-processed foods, right? They start having all sorts of positive outcomes. So the number one most inflammatory food on the planet is this right here, ultra-processed foods, which is more than one, but it's a basic recipe of sugar, flour and seed oils with glyphosate. All right, so now that you know the most inflammatory food, if you haven't seen my video on the most anti-inflammatory food, that's a very interesting one too. I'm gonna put that right here, check it out. There's one very powerful anti-inflammatory food that is going to surprise you and I wish I knew about this a long time ago when I had my inflammation. I had a lot of gut inflammation, but you can apply this to any inflammation. This also applies to people with autoimmune diseases and anyone with a condition that is ITIS, which is inflammation of philoblank. Now there is a huge connection and relationship between inflammation in your joints and inflammation in the gut. Many joint inflammatory processes including many autoimmune diseases originate in the gut. And I'm gonna go through the foods that you should avoid first, okay? And then I'm gonna tell you what you should be eating. But the foods that create the most inflammation would be related to something like which actually is in grains. Most of the grains create inflammation in your gut. Most people with arthritis don't know it, but their grains that they're eating are creating a lot of inflammation. Then you have the obvious like alcohol, sugar, junk foods. Another name for junk food would be ultra processed foods. Did you realize that 83% of all the calories in the grocery store are ultra processed foods? And our digestive system is so messed up. Now we also have corn, okay? Corn is very inflammatory. It's usually in some type of processed refined corn product or high fructose corn syrup. But I think about like 96% of all corn is genetically modified, which means it could have traces of glyphosate, which is considered an antibiotic. It can actually mess with your gut floor and create other issues. And then we have soy, the same boat. Most soy is genetically modified and soy and corn have lactans which also irritate your, which then can stir up the inflammation. And by the way, corn is not a vegetable. It's a grain, okay? And we eat corn in so many different things. Corn chips, tortillas, it's in a lot of foods, especially at the grocery store. And it's not in a whole form. It's in some type of refined form. There's one simple sugar hack anyone can do to balance glue levels almost overnight. Did you know that type two diabetes? There's even a new type of genetically modified corn that we have not really done the safety test yet. And that's gonna be very interesting when it happens with that one. And then of course how the obvious seed oils too, like canola oil, the soy oil, the corn oil, all the oils that are highly refined, they're Omega-6, they're inflammatory. We also have the A1 milk proteins, okay? You always want to get A2. A very safe way to avoid the A1 is to have like milk products from either goats or sheep as in sheep or goat cheese or sheep or goat kefir. Both of those products are fermented and they have additional benefits. And both of them are the A2 type protein. But I will say that a lot of people have casein allergies and that is the problem. But then again, they also might have a lactose, milk sugar intolerant. That's okay, that creates another issue. The same thing with gluten, you don't necessarily have to have an allergy, it could just be a gluten intolerance. And then we have just fiber in general, not to mention all the new functional fibers that they're coming out with, the soluble corn fiber, the tapioca fiber, all these different fiber products that are supposedly gonna be good for you, but they create more bloating and inflammation. If you have inflammation wherever it is, and if it's especially in the gut, you need to avoid fiber. And that includes all fiber. And especially the so-called healthy like plant proteins and beans and legumes and even vegetables. That's gonna actually irritate your colon. And you should probably do carnivore for a while and you'll probably feel a lot better. But I just listed all of the foods that greatly contribute to inflammation. So now let's talk about the most important food to get rid of your inflammation. This food has a very high level of glutamine. In fact, if you look at all the foods out there with the highest level of glutamine, it would be this food. But let me just explain what glutamine is. It's an amino acid for your colon cells, which is a single layer of cells that line the inside of your colon. This forms the barrier to your immune system deeper inside, but your intestinal cells are very hungry for glutamine. In fact, out of all the glutamine, they hog like 30% of it, okay, for themselves. Glutamine is very important in producing ATP energy. Glutamine fuels the intestinal layer of the cells as well as the mucosal layer where all the good bacteria hang out. And glutamine supports tight junctions. You see, I originally talked about this gut being a source of inflammation, but I didn't describe exactly what's occurring. What's occurring is leaky gut, which is intestinal hyperpermeability. You basically have holes in this single layer cell that goes right in and large molecules of food that are not broken down can get through there. And then your immune system tags them as a foreign entity to be destroyed. And that's when you start developing antibodies and allergies against foods. So this problem really is a bypass of normal immigration. It doesn't get the normal stamp of approval through the immune system, and it gets through and it creates a lot of problems for you. So all of those bad foods I talked about kind of put a hole through your intestine. And glutamine is the solution for that, but now the question is, what food has the most glutamine? And the answer is meat, specifically beef, the thing that they're trying to get rid of right now. They're trying to get rid of cows because of just some ridiculous reason, but beef gives you a super healing protein, glutamine, that can greatly support your gut and other types of inflammatory conditions, whether you have an autoimmune or some other type of non-autoimmune joint problem or whatever. Now you can actually take glutamine as well, but beef is the best anti-inflammatory food that you can possibly eat. In fact, before the ketogenic diet, when I was eating all those carbs and when I switched over to beef, oh my goodness, did I feel better? It was incredible. I no longer had blood. It's really weird because I thought that you needed fiber to kind of push things through. Little did I know that beef really calmed the fire down in my gut and a lot of inflammatory conditions went away. I had arthritis so bad in my hands and my spine, I had no idea it was connected to my diet and primarily all the carbs and grains I was consuming. You just have to try it. Let's say that you're a vegan and you wanna know what is the best vegan source of glutamine, ready for this? Cabbage, that's right, especially red cabbage, but all cabbage is loaded with glutamine. So those are the two foods that have the most glutamine if you were to look at just the spectrum of a meat and a vegetable. And this is also what I talk about in other videos using cabbage for gastritis or an ulcer or any type of GI inflammatory condition. You can't really do a lot of other vegetables and fiber but that's the one that most people can deal with, especially if you do it in a fermented form, the sauerkraut. Because that way you get all this glutamine from the vegetable but you get the microbes as well. Now there are other things that are loaded with glutamine as well. You have cheese from either a sheep or a goat or the kefir like I mentioned. You also have eggs and fish, especially bone broth, okay? That's loaded with glutamine. So now I kind of simplified how to heal your inflammation and gave you the things that you need to avoid to really turn this thing around. I'm telling you, if you have inflammation and you don't care what kind, you should start eating these foods. I would start basically eating beef and cabbage and just watch what happens to your inflammation. I think you'll be quite surprised.

Now, if you have not seen my video- Okay, this is the last video of this week's show. Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease. In 2022, one of the first trials to show that this might be true was published. Go over that and it's coming right up. Diabetic Kidney Disease is the most common form of progressive kidney disease in the United States. And most of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, which is the one that typically happens in adults. And it progresses through a very stereotyped number of stages. First, you develop a stage called microalbuminuria. And this is a stage where there are very, very minute quantities of protein, mostly albumin that can be detected in the urine. The protein itself is not dangerous to the kidney, but it's not supposed to be there. And it's usually one of the first indications you see that the diabetes is starting to affect the kidneys. Think of it this way. The kidney is sort of like a sieve. Imagine you're washing blueberries in the sink. The blueberries go in the sieve. You pour in the water. That holds all the blueberries in and the water goes out. If you start to see blueberries in the sink, well, there's nothing wrong with the blueberries, but it means you have a hole in your sieve. Same thing with the kidneys. The kidneys are supposed to keep all of that protein inside and let all the urine flow out. If you start to see protein in the urine, it's not that you're eating too much or too little protein or the wrong protein. It means that there's little tiny holes in the kidney that really should be there. And it's usually caused by the diabetes. I just wanna stop and say good morning, welcome and good morning to Masumi from Southeastern Japan. It is Monday, late Monday morning in Japan. And I just wanna say good morning to Masumi. This is the last video for the show and I will be closing the show after this health video. After that, you start to see more and more protein in the urine. And this is a stage called macroabineria or frank protein area. And this is protein that's so high level that it's detectable by dipstick. After that, you start to see it in the blood work where you see an increase in a blood test called the catenin. And that measures how your kidneys are working. The higher it is, the worse your kidney disease. And it typically gets worse and worse over time with diabetes until you progress to frank kidney failure which requires transplantation or dialysis. This whole process takes a long time from the development of type two diabetes to microabineria, to protein area, to kidney disease, to dialysis. Each stage takes approximately five years or so. So there's plenty of time if you detect it to intervene. However, there's only a few drugs that have been proven to slow down this progression. There's a drug called an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker which is a type of high blood pressure medication. And there's another medication called an SGLT2 and these certainly have their use in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. However, diet is also very important but up until now there really hadn't been any trials. The best we could say was that if you could use a diet to reverse your type two diabetes then it's likely that you're not going to develop worsening diabetic kidney disease because you don't have the diabetes. However, the first trials that suggested that you can actually start to reverse it was published just recently in 2022. It was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism and a study was called six month periodic fasting in patients with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, a proof of concept study. And the reason it was called a proof of concept was that this concept had never been shown before. And it used something called the fasting mimicking diet which we covered in a previous video which is a five day period where you have a specially formulated diet which is supposed to preserve a lot of the benefits of fasting without actually true fasting because you are eating certain things. However, they've done a number of studies and this was one of the most interesting studies in the diabetic field because it actually started to show for the first time that you could go from the stage of microabiminuria which is the most common and earliest stage back and reverse it. What they had shown was this fasting mimicking diet can actually reverse a lot of the inflammation and a lot of the oxidative damage that happens with type two diabetes. And this helps support the cellular protection for the kidneys. And by shifting the metabolism from glucose towards fat oxidation, this might have some beneficial effects. Remember, the body really has two types of fuel. It can run on glucose and it can run on fat. And what they wanted to do is shift it to fat and lower the glucose to see what kind of benefits you'd see for the kidneys. So 40 patients at the University of Heidelberg in Germany with type two diabetes and protein in the urine were given this fasting mimicking diet. If you're over 40 and concerned with clogged arteries and notice chest pains near the heart area, I need you to hold your breath for 60 seconds starting now. Hey, it's Joe Barton and I'll tell you how this 60 second breath holding trick works and why this can help your heart and arteries in just a minute. But first, here's two early heart attack warning signs that can help predict heart attacks from home before it's too late. Plus, I'm gonna show you this little simple at home Harvard heart artery tip that can boost your heart's blood for six months. And what they did was they measured the protein in the urine and this diet would be five days per month and these were adults age 50 to 75. They were randomized to either this fasting mimicking diet or a Mediterranean diet. They measured something called the SUPAR, which was the soluble Eurokinase plasminogen activator receptor because this was a more advanced marker of how much injury there was to the kidneys. And at six months, what they found were some very impressive results. First of all, blood glucose improved significantly. For example, in the group that got the fasting mimicking diet, their hemoglobin A1C went from 8.1% to 6.7. A very impressive reduction, as powerful as any medication on the market today. And yet this was achieved with diet alone. In the Mediterranean group, you saw practically no difference in the A1C going from 7.7 to 7.7. Body weight dropped more than 20 pounds in the fasting mimicking diet compared to no weight loss. So even from that standpoint, you could see that there were very highly impressive results coming from fasting and mimicking that. The C-peptide is a measure where you're looking at how much insulin is being produced in the body and there was significantly less, which means that there's a lot less of the hyperinsulinemia. And if you look at a marker of insulin resistance called the HOMA or HOMA, what you found was that the fasting mimicking group went from 6.4 to 2.6. Again, almost double or triple the benefit that you saw with just the Mediterranean diet, which had really no benefits going from 6.1 to 5.7. So I stat in C, which is a very, very sensitive measure of how well the kidneys are working. And it stayed stable on the fasting mimicking diet, but in the Mediterranean diet, it slowly got worse, which is consistent with what we see clinically, which is that over time, kidney function tends to get worse. Overall, when you're looking at the amount of protein in the urine, the overall results were negative, although it does look like on the surface like it should be positive because the amount of protein in the urine, the ACR went from 51 to 25, which is almost half, but because it was a relatively small study, it wasn't statistically significant. But if you just look at the group that had the very early stage, which is the microalbuminaria, you see a different story. That is, you see a 40% drop in the ACR from 43 to 23 compared to the Mediterranean diet where there was really no difference going from 44 to 37.2. Importantly, there was really very few side effects. There was no significant episodes of low or high blood sugars, and there was no episodes of low blood pressure. People seemed to tolerate it just fine. So what we see in this really revolutionary study is that by introducing the period of five days where you have fasting or fasting mimicking diet, you can significantly improve multiple measures both from a metabolic standpoint, that is their blood sugar, the weight, the insulin resistance, but you can actually start to reverse some of the kidney damage if it's at the early stage. Once you've progressed to a more advanced stage, because it takes 10 or 15 years to get to that stage, it may not reverse in six months, but the earliest stages are reversible, which means that we should be looking for it and maybe recommending that to our patients because if you don't, we know that this Mediterranean diet is going to cause continued progression of this disease, which is going to lead to worsening kidney disease and then eventually dialysis or transplantation. Thanks very much. I'll see you next week. Okay. Thank you everyone for joining me for Holistic Health Talk. That wraps it up for this week. Have a pleasant and healthy and safe upcoming week. And I guess it would be the first week, first week and a half actually of February 2024, but have a good one. We'll see you next time, God willing. And I'll be here starting the show with the Commodore Jeff Sambello for the first hour, followed by some Holistic Health information, valuable information and tips. So take care everyone. It's a great having you. It's great being here.
