80% of people are insulin resistant

It's a silent killer...

If you want to control the deadly condition you probably already have, read this:

Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer don't just happen overnight.

They are chronic diseases that most often are the result of longterm inflammation.

This inflammation slowly increases over time as a result of worsening insulin resistance.
So what is it insulin resistance?

When you eat, sugar enters the bloodstream.

The pancreas pumps out insulin to help bring that sugar into your cells.

What you eat impacts how high your blood sugar rises and how much insulin is needed.

Eventually the pancreas can't keep up.
The modern diet consists of:
-Processed foods
-High sugar
-Alcohol

These cause your blood sugar to ride a rollercoaster of extreme highs and lows throughout the day.

Your cells become resistant to insulin and like a drug addict your body needs more and more to function.
Insulin resistance happens slowly over time. Some early indicators of it:

-Dad bod (abdominal fat)
-Sweet cravings
-Low energy
-Headaches
-Anxiety
Why is this harmful?

Insulin resistance and high blood sugar are inflammatory throughout the body.

At first it can present as:
-GI distress
-Joint pain
-Brain fog
-Fatigue

Over time it places you at high risk of:
-High blood pressure
-Heart disease
-Alzhemiers
-Diabetes
Body positivity campaigns only worsen this epidemic because it normalizes obesity which is the leading indicator of insulin resistance.

Some in the medical community are now even pushing an agenda that says insulin resistance cannot be reversed but that's far from accurate.
Here's 5 ways to improve your insulin resistance:

1) Lift weights

Improves your regulation of sugar by drawing it into your cells.

Muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in the body.

Building muscle will reduce abdominal fat and insulin resistance.
2) Build your meals around protein

Protein is digested slowly over several hours rather than just a few minutes with processed foods and carbs.

This keeps your blood sugar from spiking and provides you energy for a longer period of time cutting down on the urge to snack.
3) Intermittent fasting

Creating an eating window of 10 hours or less during the day teaches your body to burn fat and improves insulin sensitivity.

Fasting gives your gut a break and helps reduce inflammation.

It also can be a helpful tool for weight loss.
4) Walk after meals

Following meals your blood sugar naturally rises.

Light activity helps bring sugar from the bloodstream into your cells lowering sugar levels and decreasing stress on your pancreas.
5) Manage your stress

Chronic stress causes:
-Poor sleep
-Limited recovery
-Increased cortisol and adrenaline levels
-Increased inflammation/insulin resistance

Focus on:
-Meditation
-Breath-work
-Outdoor walks
-Magnesium supplement
How to improve your insulin resistance:

1) Lift weights
2) Walk after meals

4) Manage your stress

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
