Cure for “gluten sensitivity“ (non celiac)

Posted on January 25, 2025July 26, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on Cure for “gluten sensitivity“ (non celiac)

Cure for “gluten sensitivity“ (non celiac”) www.PeaceDiet.com. ##drshintani ##shintani ##healthtips ##glutensensitivity. #Organicwheat. #glyphosate. #herbicides. #glutencure. #leakygutsyndrome. #leakygut. #leakygutHealingDiet.org Healing.

Here’s the cure for gluten sensitivity. I’ve been using whole wheat and gluten in my programs for over 30 years, and I’ve seen zero problems with gluten sensitivity and my patients stomach ailments bloating arthritis and fatigue all disappear. Research indicates that for other than the 2% of the people who have actual celiac disease or true wheat or gluten allergy for the vast majority of people, gluten is not the problem. In a double blind Placebo controlled study, one group was put on high dose gluten, one group was put on low dose gluten, and one group was put on Placebo, the results were stunning. The group taking the highest dose of gluten had the fewest symptoms of gluten sensitivity. The group with the worst symptoms were on Placebo, statistically similar to low dose gluten. Bottom line is if you have symptoms of gluten sensitivity, research shows that it’s not the gluten. It may be the herbicide on it, which can cause leaky gut or related symptoms. So the cure for so-called gluten sensitivity is to use organic whole wheat products so that they’re free of herbicides and chemicals.

7 early warning, signs of high blood sugar

Posted on January 21, 2025July 26, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on 7 early warning, signs of high blood sugar

7 early warning, signs of high blood sugar. www.PeaceDiet.org. ##drshintani ##shintani ##earlysignsofdiabetes ##signsofhighbloodsugar ##controldiabetes #c#controldiabetesnaturally #r#reversediabetes #r#reversediabetesnaturally#c#controlbloodsugar

In the US you have about a 50/50 chance of having high blood sugar, so don’t miss these seven early warning signs of high blood sugar. Research shows that about half of us in the US have diabetes or pre-diabetes but in its early stages diabetes is painless so you need to look for these early warning signs. Number one, fatigue, this could mean blood sugar levels are bouncing up and down. Number two, urinating more often especially at night, this could mean your body is trying to get rid of extra blood sugar by urinating. Number three, frequent thirst, this results from frequent urination causing dehydration. Number four, being hungry all the time, this may be because dumping sugar through the urine causes a loss of calories causing hunger. Number five, blurry vision, could be caused by diabetic retinopathy. Number six, tingling of hands or feet, could be signs of diabetic neuropathy. And number seven surprisingly, high blood pressure, may be a sign of high blood sugar because high blood pressure may be caused by high insulin triggered by the high blood sugar. So if you have any of these warning signs see your doctor and get your blood sugar tested.

How some carbs can help you lose weight

Posted on December 19, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on How some carbs can help you lose weight

Carbs for weight control shouldn’t be surprising because the slimmest populations in the world eat lots of carbs. Look at Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines all eat lots of carbs but have low obesity rates. Research suggests that people will not eat over 4 pounds of food per day to feel satisfied. 4 pounds of potatoes provide 1279 calories. It’s not enough to cause weight gain and it’s low enough to induce weight loss. However if you process the potatoes into potato chips, just 16 ounces of chips provides 2500 calories. With potato chips you can easily exceed the amount of calories necessary to cause weight gain, but not with plain potatoes. Corn is another high carb food, which provides 1552 calories for 4 pounds of it. But making corn chips out of it would get you 9392 calories for 4 pounds. So it’s the processing of the carbs that make the fattening not the carbs themselves.

How some carbs can help you lose weight. This is a simplified response to those who thought my last post was too complicated. My full length book the “Peace diet”. Is s at.

When simple carbs are better than complex carbs

Posted on December 17, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on When simple carbs are better than complex carbs

Let me clear up this misconception that the best carbs are always complex carbs and that simple carbs are always bad for you. Simple carbs are sugars such as sucrose or table sugar or fructose like fruit sugar. A complex carb is a starch as in potatoes, rice or bread. White bread is a complex carb because it is made of wheat flour which is mostly starch, its  glycemic index however is high at 100. An apple is almost all simple carbs fructose, yet its glycemic number is low at 51. In this case the simple carb in the form of a whole apple is better than the complex carb in the form of bread. What makes this complex carb unhealthy is that it is processed into fine particles as in white flour which causes it to be digested quickly and raise blood sugar quickly. By contrast, if you use stone ground or sprouted grain bread which has larger particles, the glycemic number drops down around 60 but still the simple carb is slightly better than the complex in this case.

When simple carbs are better than complex carbs. Simple carbs are sugars made up of one or two molecules of sugar. Complex carbs or long chains of doesn’t even hundreds of sugar molecules, but when carbs are processed into fine particles, they can be worse than simple sugars. #drshintani #sugars. #simplecarbs. #complexcarbs.#glycemicindex #processedcarbs. #refinedcarbs.

Carbs that don’t make you fat

Posted on December 16, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on Carbs that don’t make you fat

Carbs that don’t make you fat. It’s not carbs that make you gain weight. It’s processed food. Including processed carbs that can cause weight gain. it takes about 6 pounds of potatoes to provide one day worth of calories. But only 16 ounces of potato chips to provide a day worth of calories. Typically, people won’t eat 6 pounds of food so the potatoes can’t cause weight gain. But, most people can eat 16 ounces of potato chips in the day very easily so it’s the processing of the food that contributes to obesity. Not the car if they are in there hole unprocessed form. ##drshintani##weightgain##obesity ##naturalweightloss ##weightloss ##carbohydrates #greenscreen

When I hear that carbs make you fat, it’s clear to me that this person doesn’t understand carbs. Contrary to popular belief, carbs in their unprocessed form like in apples, rice and oatmeal really cannot help you gain weight. You would need to eat 9.1 pounds of apples, 5 pounds of rice, or 8.9 pounds of cooked oatmeal to reach the recommended calorie intake of about 2500 calories which is a rough estimate of how many calories an average active woman or inactive man needs per day to maintain their body weight. People won’t eat that much food so they can’t gain weight on these foods. In contrast, just 1.3 pounds of a large sweet muffin would provide the same 2500 calories. The point being, it’s not the carbs themselves that make you gain weight but rather the processed foods that include processed carbs that are high in calorie density and low in nutrient value that causes obesity. Therefore, incorporating unprocessed carbs into your diet can be a healthy and sustainable way to meet your daily calorie needs without worrying about weight gain.
