Sometimes gathering your food can also count as your exercise. Take notice of all the times you are doing something other than just sitting. Also try to break up your sitting time by standing, at least once each hour, and do something healthy. Maybe enjoy some stretches or do a walk around and maybe climb some stairs.

This is such a huge victory for all of us, especially kids.

Hundreds of functional medicine doctors and biological dentists have had their livelihood threatened over the past 30 years because they questioned fluoride safety.

I took a lot of crap when I wrote my first book, a book about fertility, because I took a hard line against fluoride.

And I would do it again. May all of the other stupid things we do that harm ourselves go away! 🙏

Adding berries to a meal can help blunt an insulin spike from high glycemic foods, and the fiber in fruits can help slow the release of their sugar. Fruit phytonutrients can help inhibit the transportation of sugar into our intestinal walls and bloodstream.

Most guidelines for diabetes recommend eating a fiber-rich diet that includes fruits because they are so healthy; they’re filled with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, improve our artery function, and reduce our cancer risk. A half-dozen randomized controlled trials swapped in fruits for other foods, like higher glycemic carbs, and found, on average, a significant improvement in blood sugar management.

Industrial fructose, such as added sugar, table sugar, and high fructose corn syrup, is associated with declining liver function and hypertension. It may also impact our body weight, insulin levels, blood pressure, and lipid levels. On the other hand, the fructose found naturally in fruits is packaged with fiber and antioxidants, which may help to explain why people experience positive health benefits when they eat fruits.

We've all heard of antioxidants... but what do they actually do?
Antioxidants are compounds that protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals—unstable molecules that can harm your body’s tissues. 🧬

By neutralizing these free radicals, antioxidants help reduce inflammation, support immune function, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Including these powerful superfoods in your diet can help keep your body balanced and healthy.💛

Black cumin is claimed to have medicinal benefits. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that daily black cumin consumption significantly improves cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar control. Randomized controlled trials have also shown that about a quarter teaspoon of black cumin powder every day appears to cause weight loss within just a few months.

Consuming a quarter teaspoon of ground black cumin a day is one of my 21 Tweaks for accelerating weight loss. See How Not to Diet for more.

What exactly is black cumin? Also known as Nigella sativa or simply black seed, it isn’t related to the cumin many of us may be familiar with. Black cumin is commonly found in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. It has a peppery flavor and can be added just like black pepper to savory dishes, like tofu scrambles, soups, or stir-fries.
