Q&A

• How can I ensure my drinking water is safe? 🚰

  To avoid harmful contaminants often present in city water supplies, investing in a quality water filter is essential for maintaining your health and well-being.

• What health tips should I follow if I'm over 50? 🚶‍♂️

  If you're over 50, regular weight training is important to combat muscle atrophy, which can often be confused with fat gain. Ensure you're getting iron primarily from food sources, especially if menstruating, and consider taking vitamin D before surgical procedures for better outcomes.

• What should I know about protein intake and gut health? 💪

  Adequate protein consumption, especially from grass-fed red meat, is essential for health. Additionally, antibiotic use can harm gut health, so making probiotic yogurt at home can restore beneficial microbes. Monitor your carbohydrate intake with vitamin B1 to help manage stress post-meal.

• Why is potassium important for my health? 🥦

  Potassium is crucial for health, requiring a daily intake of 4700 mg. It acts as a natural tranquilizer and supports heart health. Many commercial multivitamins are of low quality, so sourcing potassium through a balanced diet—including specific supplements if needed—is important.

• How can I reduce my risk of diabetes? 🩺

  To manage diabetes risk, aim to keep carbohydrate intake below 30g daily and consider requesting a fasting insulin test during your check-ups. Regular monitoring of vitamin D levels and ensuring adequate magnesium intake are also vital for maintaining calcium balance in the body.

• What dietary practices can support my overall health? 🍏

  Eating only when genuinely hungry can help prevent overeating, while minimizing snacking—especially on junk food—can reduce insulin spikes. Exploring various diets to find one that works for you, along with intermittent fasting, can also lead to significant health improvements.

• How can I improve my hydration habits? 💧

  To enhance hydration, prioritize drinking when you're thirsty and consider options like carbonated water and herbal teas. These can not only hydrate but also provide beneficial phytonutrients. Experimenting with sun tea is another refreshing way to stay hydrated.
