of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes; includes increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
In my humble opinion, intermittent and extended fasting is the most powerful cure for metabolic related diseases. Take a look at Dr Jason Fung work https://youtu.be/etNLeBTlGQk
Some of this is not true. I've reversed my own diabetes and insulin resistance by avoiding sugar, carbs, veg oils and all grains. I now eat mostly meat and eggs. Saturated fat and salt is not a problem. I also do 18 hour fasts every day and a 42 hour fast once a week. The food pyramid is a lie. Always has been. Once you learn the truth, good health is not difficult.
You are at odds with Mayo Clinic on Covid and vaccines yet trust their version of SAD (standard American diet)? ‘Calories and exercise’ means if you fail, you are to blame. If you however say that added sugar, processed foods and seed oils are to blame, then blame goes to manufacturers aka Big Food. Kraft bought Heinz and Philip Morris bought Kraft ie the Big Tobacco lies are being rebranded for Big Food. ‘Anti-vaxxer’ diet equivalent is low-carb or keto.
Spot-on Dr. Alexander. As a person who has cured his own diabetes without drugs, I can confirm unequivocally that this is directly due to the gross manipulation of our food supply. We need to collectively change our thinking. Diabetes is NOT a disease but a SYMPTOM! I'll throw this out there...that if you have or are facing diabetes and want to stop it, I would be happy to share my protocol.
Not quite correct. Check with Aseem Malhotra, Bob Atkins, Tom Levy (peakenergy.com). Eat plenty of meat, fish, eggs, butter, probiotics, and skip refined carbs, snacks, lattes, vegetable/seed oils. Supplement lots of vitamin C (8 - 10 g per day) to clean up arteries. And more - study, find a doc/nutrition specialist if you need a lot of help.
My problem with this is as follows: ‘If you get out of shape, eat too much, don’t exercise, drink and smoke, you will feel like crap and eventually something seriously wrong will happen.DUH!’ When we name it a disease then guess what? Pharma will prescribe you something. People who do the above will look at you earnestly and say ‘my Doc told me I have metabolic disorder’. Rather than ‘my doc said get in shape, start living healthily or I’ll die’.
i also believe that, that weight chart is overdue for a make over. for a person my height and weight and age it is so low i would practically have to quit eating and exercise for hours everyday, which i wouldn't mind doing but i think it should be changed somewhat not everyone has the same metobolic make up also genetics need to be added in.
“Eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean protein and whole grains
Limiting saturated fat and salt in your diet”
Please stop repeating this miss information!
Much better advice would be:
1. eat real food
2. prioritize protein,
3. fuel with fat
4. cut carbs
Grains are not healthy. Saturated fat is generally healthy. Salt is rarely an issue for those who cut carbs. Lean meat is OK but less healthy than fatty meat, especially if the animal was pasture raised or grass fed.
Stop eating wheat. No matter whole grain, organic or other. It has been hybridized to become a killer. It messes with your gut biome, regardless of gluten tolerance. Only ancient grains and sprouted wheat are safe. Read the book, Wheat Belly.
That dietary advice is so yesterday. Check out the new inspired recommendations from the Food Compass. Eat your way to better health by eating Frosted Mini Wheats, Lucky Charms and chocolate covered almonds. Or how about some egg substitute cooked in vegetable oil?https://sites.tufts.edu/foodcompass
I'm afraid that the Mayo Clinic is part of the medical establishment and is giving flawed guidance. Their approach to Type 2 Diabetes, in particular, is patently far less than optimal. Insulin resistance is the underlying factor in Metabolic Syndrome. Insulin resistance can be detected long before blood sugar is out of control. The body responds to the constant input of glucose from sugar and refined carbs (from snacking and meals) by producing more insulin to get the excessive contributions arriving in the blood back to set-point. The recipient cell being 'forced' by insulin to accept glucose, beyond their needs begin to be less responsive to insulin, ie they are developing insulin resistance. In response, the pancreas produces even more insulin, since the priority of the body is to keep the blood sugar level under control. This is a damaging process which, after years, finally results in sufficient damage to the pancreas itself that insulin production drops and blood sugar is now manifestly out-of-control and this can now be seen in the fasting blood sugar lab tests.
Much other damage has been done at this point, likely including the development of NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular damage, fatty tissue dysfunction etc. The process could have been detected much sooner if the bloodwork included measurement of insulin, not just fasting blood sugar. Though insulin measurement methodology has not been nationally standardized, any consistent method would show that higher and higher levels are required in order to for the body to maintain its (individualized) target fasting blood sugar level.
Dr. Kraft included insulin measurement in addition to blood sugar during glucose tolerance testing many decades ago. Dr. Pradip Jamnada gives a very good condensed explanation of the Kraft test in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxS2AayOHmo

Again, your recommendations are all wrong. The medical profession is carrying out mass murder through metabolic illness.
STOP DRINKING TRANSWEISER

I call BS on the DASH diet.
