🫀 Track These Cardio Indicators for Long-Term Health 🫀

Cardiovascular diseases develop over decades, but you can stay ahead by monitoring these key indicators:

1. Resting Heart Rate (RHR): A lower RHR often signifies better cardiovascular fitness.
2. Calcium Score: This measures calcium deposits in your arteries. A high score can indicate a higher risk of heart disease.
3. Blood Pressure: Consistently high readings can signal cardiovascular problems.
4. Cholesterol Levels: Monitor your LDL and HDL levels to maintain healthy arteries.

Regular monitoring can lead to early detection and better management of heart health. ❤️

🛒Healthy Grocery Shopping = Healthier Eating 🛒

1. Keep Junk Out: Focus on nutritious options for the 30 minutes you spend in the store, and you'll eat better for the rest of the week.
2. Don't Shop When Hungry: Avoid impulse buys by shopping after a meal.

Making mindful choices at the grocery store helps set the foundation for a healthy diet! 🥗

Fructose and alcohol are processed in similar ways in the liver.

In excess, they are converted to fat resulting in fatty liver disease.

Until the 1980's alcohol was the main cause.

With increasing sugar consumption, today, fructose is now the main cause of fatty liver.

🚨 Spot Early Signs of Metabolic Disease and Type 2 Diabetes! 🚨

Metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes develop over decades. Keep an eye on these early indicators in bloodwork:

1. Fasting Blood Glucose: High levels can signal insulin resistance.
2. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c): Reflects average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months.
3. Triglycerides: High levels are linked to metabolic syndrome.
4. Insulin Levels: Elevated fasting insulin can indicate early insulin resistance.

Regular monitoring can help detect issues early and guide preventive measures for better health outcomes. 🌟 #HealthAwareness #PreventiveCare #Wellness #DiabetesPrevention

@robertlufkinmd @SBakerMD I appreciate the point you're making here, but I would call this an amateur fake. The text doesn't follow the paper's curves—this could have been done with 2005 software.

In a talk by @sleepdiplomat, the foremost sleep expert outlines five key tips for better sleep:

1. Maintain Regularity: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily. 💤
2. Create Darkness: Dim lights and avoid screens before bed to promote melatonin release. 🕶️
3. Keep Cool: An optimal sleep temperature is around 68°F (18.5°C).
4. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Both can disrupt sleep quality and cycles.
5. Don’t Stay in Bed Awake: Get up if you can't sleep and return only when sleepy; meditation can also help.

These practices can significantly improve sleep quality and overall health.

Great question! I recommend eating as much whole food as possible, but there is a range. You could consider hummus or a smoothie processed, for instance, but those are generally healthy if without additives. But there is a big difference between hummus and olive oil and a highly-processed product like a pop-tart.

I see protein powder, depending on the product, as processed but not necessarily highly processed.

I use this whey, which has no additives. https://t.co/zNLks6ZSBL

If you are not vegetarian or vegan, eggs, greek yogurt, chicken, and fish work well. If you are vegan, protein is possible but challenging. I know @bryan_johnson uses pea protein as part of his protocol.
