How about you? What do you love? First on the list for most of us would be our families. But think about it! When you most enjoy your family, aren't you doing something together—preparing a meal, playing with grandchildren, enjoying a hike, traveling, going to the pool, beach, or ballgame, fishing, hunting—you get the idea. As an individual, I love anything outdoors. I love hiking and anything that involves being in the woods or on the water. These are all activities that require a certain level of health and now that my balance has become bad, I appreciate that fact more than ever. Health is not the absence of illness. It is the preservation of maximum function.
I remember eating dinner in my southern family. I now see multiple members of my family with heart disease and type 2 diabetes and everything that comes with it. I am pre diabetic myself but I have lost 12% of my body weight, exercising more, and changing my diet. It is not easy but I am making progress.
I think southern food culture and tobacco are the reasons southern states had much higher levels of heart attack and stroke 50 years ago. When southern families move to other areas of the country, they still have that elevated risk. They take their food culture with them. You have changed your food culture. Eating whole, real food will keep you from becoming diabetic and make it less likely you will have a heart attack or stroke. Congratulations! You are an example of what can happen. Diabetes is a food culture disease.
Indeed. We had a lovely family thanksgiving. The tables were loaded with yummy stuff. But these days I have so much fun talking an sharing, laughing that I hardly eat anything. But then the next day I wish I had eaten more. 🤔😀Have a blessed holiday season, Dr. Bestermann. I look forward to more posts.
That's what I am talking about! By doing what you need to do, you can travel, prepare for, and enjoy the holiday. You can even have a crazy indulgent meal, snack, and dessert as long go back to eating real food between now and Christmas!
Yup! The root causes of most chronic diseases are preventable, if identified correctly and treated properly and early, mainly through lifestyle optimization measures. These are reversible causes. From our perspective, there are data that supports the claim that air pollutants smaller than 25 microns causes mitochondrial dysfunction and leads to all sorts chronic diseases, in addition to poor diet, tobacco and alcohol consumption, heavy metals poisoning, plus sedentary but stressful lifestyle, obesity. These are confounding factors. Their impact on cardiovascular cardiometabolic physiology is easily measurable. We can do better, much better! 💯%!
Yes we have to be aware of our emotions and food. Another excellent health article. There is nothing worse or expensive with a health related incident and now more than ever we have to protect our health. It is interesting also that US doesn’t do a good job of a cleaner environment. Exposure to some chemicals or substances in our environment can impact our heath
Environmental factors are a big deal. We can't eat many larger fish because of mercury toxicity from burning coal. Fish in many of our lakes and streams in SC cannot be eaten very often because of toxic chemicals. The few ruin the environment for the many. Great to hear from you.
