Endothelial function refers to the internal condition of your arteries and veins. In diabetes, high blood sugar "fouls" and stiffens the blood vessels from the inside. This is known as endothelial dysfunction. And that is the root of all the trouble: heart attacks, strokes, and problems with the...

And every body, every organism is different, but there are effects of these foods that can be beneficial for other people.

Hi everyone! I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately and wanted to share some info that was really helpful to me. I recently read a 2014 scientific review discussing a "functional food-based diet" for type 2 diabetes. Basically, it says that in addition to standard diet and medication, adding...

Beef, baby potatoes, carrots, squash, and roasted zucchini. That’s what I ate last night at 10; now it’s 8 in the morning, and I’m having the leftovers for breakfast. I don’t have a fixed eating schedule.

It could be a poem or the lyrics to a song you like. Here is a song from the 70s by Moris: "El oso" (The Bear). I lived in the forest, so happy I walked and walked without ceasing The mornings and afternoons were mine At night, I would lie down to rest But one day, a man came with his cages He...

The bread I made today uses whole wheat flour and chia flour. Dry ingredients: 230 grams of chia flour and 230 grams of whole wheat flour; 3 tablespoons of psyllium husk, 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 20 grams of chia seeds, 30 grams of sunflower seeds, and 10 grams of...

However, it is said that they are of little use for health: they have "low predictive power" for diseases like diabetes and do not accurately measure genetic risk. The information is incomplete: the websites do not explain everything they should. They do not significantly change habits: knowing...

It addresses whether a person can modify their behavior to avoid a disease detected via DNA analysis. I had one done in 2022 with Genera Net. It showed a "predisposition to diabetes"—and I already had it. "Predisposition to gout"—and I developed it later. "Predisposition to Alzheimer's"—and my...

When you take a DNA test, you have to swab the inside of your mouth to collect saliva. A Spanish journalist played a trick on them and swabbed his dog instead. The results showed "great athletic ability".... I can only speak from my own experience; everything the test told me was true, or I had...

In 2022, I had a DNA test. The good thing about this isn't that it tells you who your ancestors were, but that it alerts you to diseases you have a genetic predisposition to. It showed that I have a predisposition to diabetes (my mother had it), a predisposition to gout (I developed it later in...

Since I started eating homemade bread, I've discovered that it not only nourishes you but also provides other benefits. For example, it improved my digestion. Google Translate sometimes makes mistakes, adding or changing a word and altering the entire meaning of the sentence.

Well, I think you're both largely right, but I'm not going to tell the doctor what I did. I'm not going to put my head on the line to get crucified; you're already crucifying me. I won't do it again. We all tend to judge by our own standards; the parameters of our culture and context might be...

We agree, the ambulance is very important for serious cases, but I wasn't asking for candy, I was asking them to check my glucose, which is very important to me. If we delve deeper into this discussion, we'll end up talking about politics and economics, and I don't think that's the objective of...

For the past three days, I've been having three cups of coffee for breakfast. Coffee dehydrates you and makes you want to drink a lot of water, and drinking a lot of water makes you need to go to the bathroom constantly. It was a half-truth, and my eyes really are tired; I'm using drops for dry...

What happened today: The last time I pricked my finger was on June 24th, fasting. It read 119, which in the UK would be about 6.61 (you have to divide by 18). And I ran out of test strips. Yesterday I went to the emergency room and asked them to check my glucose, but the doctor said they...

Hi Jaylee, I think your reflection is very important, greetings!

Well, I read the entire scientific report, I rescued the word "nutaceutical." Since I didn't know it, I looked it up in the Spanish dictionary: adj. Med. Said of a food product: That combines nutritional and other beneficial properties for health. A nutraceutical egg is a regular egg, but...

I'm saving this to read another day because tonight is Saturday Night Fever. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6470839/#sec4dot2-nutrients-11-00684

Lovinglife, It’s not just about cholesterol—that’s the least of my concerns; I’m talking about nourishing the hen so she produces a more nutritious egg.
