Most of us are deficient in vitamin D and magnesium, many of us need to supplement both. They each in their own way are very important in the management of inflammation, which worsens chronic diseases.Oops, need to clarify my comments about starches. I still eat some whole food starches, like carrots, but I generally have to walk afterward to get my blood glucose down to manageable levels. Meeting my body's needs is tricky sometimes. Gut flora (microbiome) needs some starchy foods - (need to learn more about resistant starches, haven't gotten that far yet, but will) - but at the same time starchy foods spike my blood glucose levels so I have to take the additional step of walking that sugar off. I'm getting better at this, slowly. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />By the way, all carbohydrates become glucose, whole food carbohydrates and processed carbohydrates, as do protein in excess of what's needed at each meal.</blockquote>
