Quotes of the Day

Autophagy is considered the "primary system for cleaning the body" from the inside out. Some food components like spermidine can boost the process. Wheat Germ is the cheapest source of spermidine. At sufficient doses, wheat germ can also help control cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetic blood sugars, and pain, fatigue, headache, and mood swings associated with painful periods. It can also boost Bifidobacteria in the gut. Perhaps people with cancer shouldn't go out of their way to increase their spermidine intake. The other group I would advise caution for are those with kidney failure. [2023] - Michael Greger

Saturated fat raises HDL cholesterol while carbohydrates lower it. Trans fats are an entirely unnatural substance that contribute to insulin resistance and inflammation.

And then there is always the power of exercise to reduce stress, improve the quality of your sleep, and help you lose weight. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
