Maltodextrin could be in the supplements you take. Use this simple test to find out—all you need is iodine. DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/maltodextrin#:~:text=Maltodextrin%20has%20a%20high%20glycemic,advice%20of%20a%20healthcare%20practitioner. https://youtu.be/XnF9OczedMw https://youtu.be/5YMDOX71TeI https://youtu.be/59FatWCti94 0:00 Introduction: Hidden sugar in supplements 0:25 How to find hidden sugar 4:14 Maltodextrin explained 8:04 Learn more about maltodextrin! Did you know some health supplements contain hidden sugar, like maltodextrin? Today, I will share a simple test to find hidden sugar in your food and health supplements. Iodine mixed with water is a golden color. If you combine iodine with starch, it turns blue. When you add iodine to bread, for example, it turns blue. Or, if you put maltodextrin in water and add a few drops of iodine, the water will turn blue. My brand of electrolyte powder doesn’t have any sugar or maltodextrin in it. However, when we look at a competitor’s electrolyte powder that also claims it doesn’t have sugar or maltodextrin, it turns blue when iodine is added. Maltodextrin behaves like sugar, spiking insulin, but can be classified on a label as a carb and not a sugar. On the glycemic index, table sugar is at 65, and glucose is at 100—maltodextrin is between 105 and 185. Maltodextrin is the most common starch added to supplements and other products. If there is less than one gram of maltodextrin in a product per serving size, the company doesn’t even have to state it. Maltodextrin can also be found in flavorings, energy gels, sports powders, and even baby formulas. It’s important to be aware that some so-called keto-friendly products can also contain maltodextrin.

The SILENT KILLER Nobody Addresses

Chronic sleep deprivation can increase your risk for premature death! In this video, I’ll cover the dangers of not sleeping enough and the numerous health risks of poor sleep. Find out how to sleep better with my restful sleep tips. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] HOW TO MAKE L.

Sleep is the best way to clean the brain of damaged proteins, but this only occurs when you get real sleep. Sleep medication can sedate you but will not enhance your sleep quality. Alcohol significantly decreases sleep quality, causing snoring, sleep apnea, and tossing and turning. Sleep is essential for repairing and restoring the entire body, especially the immune system. Without sleep, the immune system shuts down, leaving you vulnerable to infection. REM sleep supports parts of the brain involved in creativity, memory, and problem-solving. It improves social interaction, emotional stability, empathy, and your mood throughout the day. Most repair occurs during non-REM sleep, also known as deep or delta-wave sleep. As you age, non-REM delta wave sleep decreases significantly. Delta wave sleep is vital for fat burning, cell repair, and cell regeneration. It’s also when your body fights infections most effectively. To improve your sleep quality, try the following restful sleep tips: •Avoid alcohol •Drink kombucha tea •Exercise regularly •Avoid eating too late •Avoid eating too much protein •Sleep in a cool, dark room •Avoid too much caffeine •Avoid excessive blue light •Turn lights off a few hours before bed •Get plenty of sun during the day •Go to bed when you’re tired •Avoid stimulating shows/movies before bed Magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc are the most important nutrients for sleep. L. reuteri is a microbe that can help boost oxytocin and serotonin and improve sleep. Sodium is also vital for restful sleep.

The current RDA for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units), which is about 1/10 of a milligram. Vitamin D is a controversial topic, probably because it can help so many! Heliotherapy, or sunbathing, was used in the early 1900s, before vaccines and antibiotics, to help with TB, asthma, osteoporosis, tooth decay, psoriasis, mood issues, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. The government commissioned the University of Illinois Chicago to conduct a study on the toxicity of vitamin D. This study lasted nine years and involved hundreds of doctors, 773 patients, and 63 dogs. They used 200,000-1,000,000 IU of vitamin D, and no toxicity was found. Dr. Bruce Hollis, a pioneer in vitamin D research, explains that many vitamin D researchers are not receptive to the wealth of data about its benefits. Data shows that areas close to the equator have the lowest risk of MS, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and diabetes. You will need more vitamin D if you have vitamin D resistance, are older, have darker skin, or weigh more.

The 13 Greatest Blood Sugar Mistakes Diabetics Make (Correct This Now)

Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we’ll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes! 0:25 High blood sugar explained 2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes 5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes 12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally 14:05 More blood sugar management tips Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar. The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don’t actually need to consume any sugar at all. Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases. Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands 2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips 4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing 5. Tylenol usage 6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers 8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes 11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. Dehydration An A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results. The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes. To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following: •Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals •Morning walks •Berberine •Get plenty of sleep •Reduce stress levels •Increase sunlight exposure DATA: https://www.virtahealth.com/blog/the-...https://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/...https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/art... https://www.cambridge.org/core/journa...https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/4/766 Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.
