High cholesterol

[mummynew]

Another example: whole grain rice is not fully absorbed due to phytic acid (phytates) that actually interferes with the body's absorption of minerals, specifically iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

This brought me back to re-reading on phytates again (coz I remember ever reading about their 'anti-nutrients' property).

Phytates have their benefits and so to weigh risks vs benefits accordingly (hahaha, coz I am not willing to give up on my grains, beans, seeds, etc):

So that's why we eat a variety of plant food, and not just wholegrain rice every meal?
No need to eat rice every day!

You should start eating pumpkin seeds and saw palmetto to prevent prostate enlargement.
This thing will start to accelerate in growth in your last 40 years of life.

Another thing for meat-eaters to watch out is colorectal cancer. This is due to waste products lingering too many hours in the intestines. Meat generates a lot of harmful waste products.

there no proof fish oil help to reduce cholesterol... especially ldl

But from what my observation, high cholesterol is caused by food intake and lifestyle.
So don't expect supplementary could help u.

3mm per year

It's exponential growth so small early changes have big impact on final size.

Minimising the growth rate in the first 20 years will greatly affect the final size in the next 20 years.

Interesting new study.

High vs low protein intake

Muscle vs heart

Just get your priorities correct.



For those interested to lower APOB or your cholesterol, can watch his other videos. Tons of videos base on scientific evidences on his channel.

The studies with mice show that if you are NOT lifting weights, and you over-eat protein... you'll get metabolic diseases. (Or if you are not exercising like an athlete)

It is COMMON SENSE.

Go hit the weights, heavy as possible till 90s. Or just start moving as often as you can. Jack Lalanne is far more advanced than current medical research which is trying to find a drug to monetise laziness.

You didn't look at the human part ?

Yes I know it's common sense to do strength training and be more active. Nobody is disputing this.

I'm just pointing out the balance of diet is crucial.

Sorry, I'm not criticising you... it's those medical researchers that I am criticising.
So regarding the studies... I am not worried about the proportion, because our body is self-regulating. The excess will cause waist line to grow. Insufficient protein intake will cause body weight to drop and physical performance (weight lifted, reps etc) to also drop.

Anyone who continues to eat alot of protein without exercising correspondingly is courting for trouble.

The best way to regulate protein intake is to monitor physical performance. The proportion goes up and down depending on the periodic cycle of exercise. If you are athlete this will make sense.

Nah I still think there is a right proportion of diet to consider.

Golden rule of too much of anything is bad does applies to foods too. And don't rely on the self regulation.

Stop spreading these kind of misinformation la. Meat eating doesn't cause higher risk of cancer. There is no study that can prove this with any 100% certainty. And lingering too long in intestines is absolute rubbish. Machiam you saying your food is radioactive. Veggies also have damn high chance of causing colon cancer if you talk like that. A lot of chemicals don't get wash off completely and a lot is absorbed into the plant itself. A lot of people like to apply direct logic to their bodies like eat fat = become fat, eat cholesterol = high blood cholesterol. Your body is smarter than you.

It's not eating meat that causes higher risk. It is retaining the waste products too long in the colon.
Notice the difference. You can eat alot of meat... I do. Just make sure the digested residues don't stay too long inside you.

And yes, if you eat veggies, and don't pass it out for several days, it will also cause colorectal cancer.

The difference is, volume of indigestible veggie residue is much larger than the volume of meat residue for the same calories. So veggies fill up the colon faster.

I did it for free 1 year ago. If not I heard its few K.
Yes, need to pair with statin. Statin isn't keeping my LDL down to a very low level
required for people like me with FH.
My target is 1.5 mmol/L.

How much your injection? What I know there is no subsidy and it is very expensive...

The total calorie, and the proportion of fat, protein and carbs fluctuate depending on your level of activity. There is a minimum amount to eat everyday for each, but once the activity goes up, the proportion varies greatly depending on the activity.

If you are not familiar how to self-regulate, the most important things to monitor are: weight, body fat, aerobic endurance, and physical leg strength.

It is like living with a mindset of an athlete.

Whatever you eat, just watch out for your health markers.

If something is out, then you need to readjust your diet or lifestyle.

the funny thing about this study is.
if you actually scrutinize their "high protein" diet.
they actually made their test subjects consume large amounts of this
https://www.nestlehealthscience.sg/brands/boost
and calling it "high protein" diet.

it's actually 70%+ carbs/seed oils and less than 25% actual protein.....and they are looking at the protein and ignoring the other 70%+ garbage

I didn't notice that. Will look through later.

There is also animal vs plant proteins.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10084508/

Also vs fish protein to consider. The proteins quality are definitely NOT the same.
