Recipe for life. Remember the simple poem to help you optimize your health and your life as a whole. #drshintani #youarewhatyoueat. #youarewhatyouthink. #wordshavepower. #dothewillofGod . #wearelove. #youarewhatyoudo. #wholeperson.

This is a little poem to remind you of what keeps you healthy. I call it recipe for life. Here’s the poem:

You are what you eat

You are what you drink

You are what you breathe

You are what you think

You are what you do

You are what you say

You are all the love you give

And you are what you pray.

So this is what it means, “you are what you eat”, you should eat mostly whole unprocessed plant-based foods. “You are what you drink”, avoid sugary and alcoholic beverages. “You are what you breathe”, stop smoking. “You are what you think”, think positive thoughts and you’ll become a positive person. “You are what you do”, exercise and do the will of God. The good you do will always come back to you. “You are what you say”, words have power, positive words get positive results. “You are all the love you give”, in the end what matters most in life is how much love you’ve given in this world. “You are what you pray”, prayer heals and prayer will keep you on the path you are meant to travel and close to God who will give you the strength and guidance to travel it well. I hope this helps you have health, success, happiness, and peace.

We now know that high triglycerides can contribute to clogged arteries like cholesterol does and are a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes just as cholesterol is. So what’s the difference? Well, they’re both considered lipids, because they’re both not soluble in water. But cholesterol is a waxy substance, while triglycerides are oily, basically made up of 3 fat molecules attached to half a sugar molecule. Also it takes days or weeks to cause a change in cholesterol. Whereas triglycerides change quickly as in a matter of a few hours. Here are 7 ways to control triglycerides; 1. eat less processed sugar and carbs, 2. avoid saturated and trans fat, 3. eat more omega 3 oils, 4. exercise, 5. lose weight, 6. surprisingly alcohol raises triglycerides so limit alcohol, and 7. eat more fiber, this may be the most important thing that you can do because it helps in 3 ways, it slows the absorption of carbs, slows the absorption of fats and also breeds good gut flora that help to regulate triglycerides.

Saying these 2 words can help lower your blood pressure can you guess what these two words are? #drshintani #bloodpressurecontrol. #controlbloodpressure. #thanksgiving #gratitude #gratitudejournal. #thanksgivingprayers. #systolicbloodpressure. #reducestress

Once a year we engage in a very healthy practice called Thanksgiving. It seems that we would be better off practicing Thanksgiving year round. Research has found that thanks-giving does more than just making us feel food. Research has found that the simple practice of expressing gratitude such as saying “thank you” can significantly improve your blood pressure. A 2021 study revealed that writing in a daily gratitude journal helps participants to lower their diastolic blood pressure by an average of 16%. Another study found that gratitude practices were associated with a 10% lower systolic blood pressure. What makes gratitude so powerful? Apparently when you focus on thankfulness, your stress levels drop, reducing stress hormones leading to lower blood pressure. Just saying “thank you” may activate your parasympathetic nervous system enough to cause relaxation, reducing any strain on your heart. So for a simple non toxic way to deal with your blood pressure, consider practicing gratitude like saying the 2 words “Thank you” daily.

Here are 6 of the 12 hacks that I’ve learned over the years. NO. 1, Vinegar/Unsweetened lemon juice slows sugar absorption and reduces blood sugar spikes. No. 2, If you have to eat white bread choose sourdough bread as a propionic acid in it acts like vinegar and reduces the bread’s glycemic index number by 24%. No. 3, eat more high fiber foods such as whole grains, vegetables, and beans because fiber slows blood sugar absorption and it supports a good gut flora that helps stimulate GLP-1. No. 4, eat your high fiber greens before you eat carbs because the fiber in the greens will limit blood sugar spikes. No. 5, drink green tea, chamomile tea, okra water or even plain water as they help your kidneys to flush out some of the excess blood sugar. And No. 6, make sure you’re not deficient in magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, or chromium so that your insulin works properly. For 6 more hacks, look for my next post about part 2 of 12 hacks to control blood sugar.

Is this natural supplement better than a prescription drug that may have a connection to osteoporosis and possibly Alzheimer’s disease? #drshintani #naturalsupplement. #indigestion. #heartburn. #Omeprazole #protonpumpinhibitors #turmeric. #curcumin #greenscreen

About ⅓ of all Americans suffer from heartburn or indigestion according to a nationwide study conducted by Cedars Sinai. The most popular prescription medication for heartburn is omeprazole and similar medications known as proton pump inhibitors or PPI. As with all medications, these have possible side effects, such as abdominal pain and discomfort in the short run and osteoporosis and possibly even Alzheimer’s disease in the long run based on preliminary findings. So a lot of people are looking for alternatives to proton pump inhibitors. In a randomized study researchers found that curcumin which is derived from turmeric is just as effective at relieving heartburn as omeprazole with fewer side effects. So if you have heartburn, consider curcumin, the amount of curcumin used in the study was 250ml twice a day. And as with any supplement you should check with your doctor before using it.
