Topic: Health tips people need to know (Read 1117 times)

This is a nice list if health tips. But I would just like to input my opinion especially on No.4 — Being skinny doesn't mean you're healthy but being skinny doesn't also mean that you're not healthy. I just know people who are skinny but they're healthy. They do not have underlying illness. It's just that, they have a fast metabolism (at least that's what they say).

Anyway, it's really important to take care of ourselves. And what I always do is to drink plenty of water (plenty as in 8-10 glasses a day). I just feel dry if I don't drink enough water. A regular exercise will help, too, in boosting our immunity which is really necessary especially this time of pandemic. Being quarantined for several months now just allowed many of us to have time for ourselves and keep our body healthy and fit.

I was away because of health issue and this is the first topic that caught my eyes I really like the tips and it would really help a lot.
I used to drink less water since I don't do anything besides play on my computer and eat I only drink less than 5 glass a day but I think I should really start to have even small exercise and try to complete the 8 glass of water per day to stay healthy.

there are different types of sugars
lactose, dextrose, fructose etc

they each have different properties and yes excess amounts of each have negatives.
your body does need sugars and each type of sugar has a different effect on the body

there are simple sugars which your body just uses direct as energy which can cause excess bloodsugar if taken too excess. there are also complex sugar which take time to breakdown.
there are also sugars which take time to break down but your bodies initial reaction is to spike the insulin which can actually cause a mis match of your body slowing down due to insulin and then speeding up later due to the sugars.
its where people after a meal feel sluggish and then get a second wind later

yep it isnt the christmas turkey making you having the christmas afternoon nap. its all the carbohydrates from the potato's and gravy that triggers your insulin

short summary.
dont eat to excess and your body wont go wild trying to control the uncontrolable
so control what you eat and your body will control the rest

Stretching in the morning will do more good than doing at eve time.It not only gives fitness to body and also help us to wakeup our mind and start doing our works more brisk than before.

Mercury is not a problem. Heavy metals can be expelled from the body by: EDTA, cilantro, sauna, and other ways. People often have high mercury content in their bodies from the fillings in their teeth.

Tooth fillings the way the dentists do them are not really all that natural. The mercury-silver amalgam is something that the body tries to remove, because the body naturally knows it is foreign and poisonous. So, over the years, the fillings break down slightly, thereby poisoning the body a little. The better one eats, the better his health gets, and the more capable the body is for getting rid of the mercury-silver amalgam by breaking it down, and the more it gets into his system.

Fish mercury is not a big problem.

Just want to add regarding renal health, when people think that more water can help. It’s otherwise; less water is needed when kidney fails. Less potassium intake is needed for the patient suffer End stage renal disease ESRD

Yes you are right that we are deficient in nutritious food which causes great harm to our health. For this reason to maintain good health you need to take nutritious food and avoid lubricating and external foods.

But what about the sugar?
I don't think that there is any "good" sugar... All kinds affect negatively our body. Even the sugar that exists in fruits in not healthy if you consume a lot of "sweet" fruits.

its important to know there are different types of 'salts' and 'sugars' too

take the salts/brines used in processed meat is not the same salt you sprinkle on your fries
the salts/brines used in preserving meats is far worse.

Forgot to mention, colonoscopies are also highly questionable: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/10/16/is-colonoscopy-worth-the-risk.aspx (cancer scares tend to be fake news, oncology being possibly the 2nd most corrupt within the medical industry behind only the lawless and amoral vaccine industry)

My tip is to eat soaked almonds in the morning while fasting.
Make it habbit not to sleep  without doing cardio exercise.

Except mammograms (what often is meant by "breast examinations"), you might want to carefully consider those, as they carry some risk of cancer and there are better alternatives: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/12/20/mammograms-tragic-lie.aspx



There are a large number, I want to say a majority, of people in the medical industry who are well-meaning people, and a large subset within that who are heart-centered/service-to-others-oriented.

But the business model of the healthcare industry hinges upon people being sick. Even moreso the pharmaceutical industry. There are more incentives to keep people sick than to keep them healthy. Drug research is conducted based on how to mask a condition rather than how to expand consciousness (e.g. by ideally agonizing serotonin receptor types), how to increase well-being (e.g. by selective modulation of neurotransmitters, like a safer MDMA), how to help you meditate (say by eliminating anxiety or mind chatter), etc.

"Medicine, the only profession that labors incessantly to destroy the reason for its existence." --James Bryce

"The specific disease doctrine is the grand refuge of weak, uncultured, unstable minds, such as now rule in the medical profession. There are no specific diseases; there are specific disease conditions." --Florence Nightingale

"'Modern medicine' may well be defined as 'the experimental study of what happens when poisonous chemicals are placed into malnourished human bodies.'" --A. Saul, Contributing Editor, Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine



Those are great indeed, although only small fish which eat few or no other fish is recommended, because of high mercury levels in most seas. An example is salmon, which by itself is one of the healthiest things you can eat, but due to the mercury contamination it's only worth it if it's wild-caught from uncontaminated waters in Alaska. Mercury is one of the most damaging toxins, but it's a slow gradual easily unnoticeable damage spread over its long half-lives. Farmed salmon also has several other toxins such as pesticides, antibiotics, dioxins, PCBs: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/03/24/why-farmed-salmon-are-toxic.aspx



Only if by "all serious scientific and peer reviewed data" you mean the (unscientific) selective science underpinning the established/dogmatic beliefs and deliberate lies of the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

"Medicine being a compendium of the successive and contradictory mistakes of medical practitioners, when we summon the wisest of them to our aid, the chances are that we may be relying on a scientific truth the error of which will be recognized in a few years' time." --Marcel Proust

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine." --Dr. Marcia Angell (2009)


Not continually based on some schedule based on generalities/averages as the medical industry would give you the impression is the best way to do it, but based on your own discernment of desired-to-undesired effects progression over time. The same is true for any drug taken chronically. You generally want to allow homeostasis to take hold, rather than adaption to chronic administration of some chemical.

Good. I'm glad we are in agreement that all serious scientific and peer reviewed data back up my statements.

It's actually far more common for tolerance to side effects to develop over time, rather than sensitization to them. Still, if you have serious side effects then of course you should try a different class of drug, but that's not what you said originally. You said you should continually cycle between drug types, which is just plain dangerous.

The problem with most of the health issues these days is because of mixing different things into food products. We have already seen plastic rice. I guess growing your own vegetables might get you some good results.

Antibiotics,even when prescribed by your doctor,they should ONLY be used if the illness is life threatning.Why? Because antibiotics kills also the good microbiome in your gut,which can leads to several side effects like slowing down the growth of brain/hippocampus neurogenesis.There multiple research suggesting this,but mostly in rats.Here is a recent one that studied humans: Source:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27210745



Reducing Salt and Sugar is not necessary if you already have a normal intake of these two elements.In fact, it's life threatning to have a below normal salt intake. Source:https://www.verywellfit.com/what-happens-if-i-dont-consume-enough-sodium-2507757

In as much as good meal is required for a healthy living, it is a necessity that you excrete as often as possible. Think of your body as a machine because it surely is!!! Let's say a perfectly constructed and programmed biological machine capable of some self authentication but then, for optimal functionality, you opt to excercise every now and then. It is said that jogging is one of the best fitness excercise you can do and funny enough, it requires almost zero resource. In jogging, every part of your body is arosed and worked up. Again, you can also do some Yoga and free your mind from unnecessary thoughts, feeling of depression and relaxes you. A positive mindset could be everything as it helps set your course right for lucrative and innovative ideas. Surround yourself with happy people and engage in recreational activities. It is said it takes 17 muscles to smile and 47 muscles to frown so you can imagine how much energy you save by just being cheerful.
And always be open minded and tell people your problems. It doesn't only ease your mind of thinking much, it sometimes provide useful solutions as whom you confide in can help think of a possible solution with you, might be in your shoes as well or beware of similar case and how to handle it and can also keep an eye on you if need be. Drug isn't the only solution there is.
Stay healthy and don't be scared to talk to your medicine person at all times!

Out of the ones posted I think hand washing is the most underrated one. It's underrated because the people who do it are never, ever reminded of the crippling colds, sickness that they avoided. Things like water, people will drink water. It's part of their physiology, but keeping your hands clean. Very underrated.

Yeah, they're not the worst unless overdone, but there's also the idea of keeping stable insulin and glucose levels, and taking it to its full extent that's called a keto diet, which has clear benefits (as you might discover if you do research beyond preconceptions).

There is a grand total of zero evidence to show that GMOs are in anyway harmful or that organic food is anyway more healthy.
