7 ways to control triglycerides number six surprises most people and number seven maybe the most important. Free e-book at peaceDiet.org.

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?

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.

12 Hacks to Control Your Blood Sugar

Posted on November 27, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on 12 Hacks to Control Your Blood Sugar

12 hacks to help you control your blood sugar Part 1. Free ebook at PeaceDiet.org. #drshintani #bloodsugarcontrol. #reversediabetes. #reversetype2diabetes. #Controlbloodsugar. #bloodsugarhacks. #highfiberdiet.

Here are 6 more hacks for blood sugar control. No. 7, exercise at least the equivalent of 5,000 steps per day. No. 8, if you can’t get out to exercise, try soleus push ups. Using the soleus muscle under your calf muscle like tiptoeing about 60 to 80 times per minute while seated. No. 9, sleep and meditation can help control stress which reduces stress hormones which helps to control blood sugar. No. 10, amazingly heating, chilling and reheating carbs such as bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice reduces their glycemic index number up to 40%. No. 11, try intermittent fasting by not eating anything for at least 13 hours straight in a day, this helps improve insulin sensitivity but make sure you check with your doctor before doing this. No. 12, consider using supplements such as berberine, cinnamon, and fenugreek to name a few, and again check with your doctor before using supplements.

12 hacks to control blood sugar part 2. These are six more blood sugar hacks. See part 1 for the first 6 hacks in my last video posted yesterday. ##drshintani ##bloodsugarcontrol ##reversediabetes ##reversetype2diabetes ##Controlbloodsugar ##bloodsugarhacks ##highfiberdiet ##insulinsensitivity ##insulinresistance.#greenscreen

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?

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.

These are nine foods with a super nutrient, that fights, aging cancer and Alzheimer’s disease

Posted on November 23, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on These are nine foods with a super nutrient, that fights, aging cancer and Alzheimer’s disease

These are nine foods with a super nutrient, that fights, aging cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Free e-book at peacediet.org. My full book is on Amazon at EatSlim.org. ##drshintani ##autophagy ##longevityfoods ##longevity ##fisetin ##antiagingfoods ##anticancer ##antiAlzheimers ##Alzheimers

A major cause of physical aging is the accumulation of senescent or very old cells that should be recycled in a process called Autophagy. Autophagy, which basically means “self eating”. Is a process in which the body naturally breaks down and consumes old damaged cells and makes way for new healthier, more youthful cells. This is important because old and damaged cells can contribute to plaque formation in the brain, which can lead to Alzheimer’s disease and can become the damaged cells that transform into cancer cells. One of the best supernutrients to support Autophagy is Ficetin. Research shows that ficetin induces Autophagy and the natural clearing of these aging cells. One research project found that mice-fed ficotin live 10% longer than controls. Here are 9 foods high in this supernutrient; strawberries, apples, persimmons, onions, grapes, lotus fruit, cucumber, kale, and kiwi fruit. To slow aging right now, try some of these foods.

What’s worse then sugar for type 2 diabetes? research suggest that another common food is connected

Posted on November 22, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on What’s worse then sugar for type 2 diabetes? research suggest that another common food is connected

What’s worse then sugar for type 2 diabetes? research suggest that another common food is connected to 50% higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Free e-book peaceDiet.org. Am j clin Clin Nutr 2023 Dec; 118(6);1153-1163. Doi. 10.1016/ajcnut..2023. 08.021#dr#drshintani#an#antidiabeticl#bloodsugarcontroln#insulinresistance#re#reversediabetesty#type2diabetes#su#sugardiabetes

Lately a lot of people have come down hard on sugar and carbs for causing diabetes and suggesting that you should eat more red meat instead. But in a meta analysis, looking at sugar consumption and diabetes, researchers admitted that “evidence linking sugar directly to diabetes is lacking”. They did suggest that eating too much sugar can contribute to obesity which itself is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. In another study of 12,800 adults, researchers found that just a 0.8% higher risk of diabetes is connected to sugar intake if weight gain is factored out. More recently research says that there’s something worse for diabetes than sugar. In a 2023 study of over 200,00 people, researchers found that high consumption of red meat was associated with a 50% higher risk of diabetes. Now be aware that I’m not suggesting that sugar is fine for diabetes, but I am pointing out that to control diabetes, this research suggests that we should be eating less meat not more. See citations to this article in the text of this post to dispel more myths about carbohydrates.

10 foods that have an anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer’s nutrient in them that you should

Posted on November 22, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on 10 foods that have an anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer’s nutrient in them that you should

10 foods that have an anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer’s nutrient in them that you should know about. My free e-book is at.PeaceDiet.org. My full length book the “Peace Diet” Is on Amazon. At.EatSlim.org. ##drshintani ##anticancer ##antidiabetic ##apigenin ##antibloodpressure##reversediabetes ##bdnf ##antialzheimers ##insulinsensitivity

This remarkable nutrient is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and research suggests that it has anti cancer, anti-diabetic, antidepressant properties. Research also suggests that it can help control blood pressure, blood sugar and protect against Alzheimer’s disease. And if that weren’t enough, it appears to help raise testosterone levels as well. I’m talking about Apigenin, a remarkable substance you should know about. Apigenin helps to induce apoptosis or natural cancer cell death, it helps with blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, and it helps with blood sugar control by increasing insulin sensitivity. It also helps brain function by increasing BDNF or Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factors, which also helps to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Here are 10 foods that have this nutrient; Celery, Parsley, Chamomile tea, Oranges, Grapefruit, Onions, Oregano, Thyme, Cilantro, Peppermint, and many other foods. So to improve your overall health, consider eating more of these foods.

Top 7 beverages to avoid for blood sugar.control

Posted on November 20, 2024January 15, 2025 By drshintani No Comments on Top 7 beverages to avoid for blood sugar.control

Top 7 beverages to avoid for blood sugar.control. #drshintani #bloodsugarcontrol #diabetescontrol #sugarfree #insulinresistance #insulinsensitivity #reversediabetes #controlbloodsugar #greenscreen

In general, I don’t recommend calorie-containing beverages, because calories in liquid form hit the bloodstream too quickly and raise blood sugar and insulin which promotes obesity and diabetes. These are seven beverages you should consider avoiding for blood sugar control. No.1, of course avoid soft drinks like pop or soda, because of their pure sugar content and often using high fructose corn syrup. Mountain Dew has 11.5 teaspoons of sugar per 12 ounces, which is even more than coke at 10 teaspoons. No. 2, Diet Soda. Unfortunately replacing the sugar with artificial sweeteners may be worse because research suggests that they tend to cause weight gain and some of them may even increase the risk of certain cancers. No. 3, Energy drinks. Most of them are like soft drinks with sugar or artificial sweetener, but with caffeine and herbs added. No. 4, Alcohol raises blood sugar and injures your brain liver and pancreas and increases your risk of cancer. Breast cancer risk goes up at four alcoholic drinks per week. No. 5, Specialty coffees with whipped cream can contain as much as 600 calories or more than a big mac. No.6, Sweetened tea, although it has about a third less sugar than soft drinks, still will cause a blood sugar spike. So it’s better to do unsweetened tea. No. 7, Fruit juice can cause a rise in blood sugar and insulin almost as much as a soft drink. Of course it’s better than a soft drink because there’s some nutrients in it. But if you want nutrients from fruit, it’s better to eat the whole fruit.
