Let’s talk about the #1 nutritional deficiency behind constipation: a vitamin B1 deficiency. A severe vitamin B1 deficiency is called beriberi. Constipation is essentially a problem with peristalsis—it’s not working properly, and you’re not pumping waste through the body. But if we look even deeper, this issue is related to the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is intimately involved with the gut. When you don’t have enough vitamin B1 (thiamine), a lot of things can go wrong with the autonomic nervous system—which then affects the gut. A thiamine deficiency can also cause other problems in your gut that may lead to constipation, including: • Low stomach acid • Decreased gastric mobility (gastroparesis) • Decreased pancreatic enzymes • Biliary dyskinesia A diet high in refined carbs and sugar is one of the primary causes of a B1 deficiency. I’m not against herbal laxatives, as long as you’re also trying to correct the root problem—this means getting enough B1. Make sure you consume a natural vitamin B1 (thiamine) supplement, not a synthetic version.

What Would Happen If You Used RICE WATER on Your Hair for 14 Days

What would happen if you used rice water on your hair for 2 weeks? Rice water for hair is an ancient secret used in Asia for centuries. Could rice water be the key to hair growth, stronger hair, and a healthier scalp? Find out in this video. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Rice water for hair 1:23 Fermented rice water benefits 2:50 How to make rice water for hair 4:31 How to use rice water for hair 5:03 Share your rice water hair growth results down below! Today, we’re going to talk about using rice water for hair growth. Fermented rice water is the best rice water for your hair. It takes 48 hours to make probiotic rice water! Rice water contains B vitamins and amino acids essential for the hair. Fermented rice water contains pitera, a byproduct of fermentation often used in skin care. Pitera helps brighten the hair and also helps with dandruff and itchiness. Fermented rice water contains lactic acid, which decreases dullness and frizziness. It also contains magnesium and selenium. Fermented rice water increases nitric oxide, which helps bring oxygen to the hair's root. To make fermented rice water, combine 2 cups of organic rice in a bowl with 4 cups of water. Massage the rice with water and drain. Add 2 cups of water to the wet rice and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain the liquid into a glass jar and cover lightly. After 48 hours, cover your fermented rice water with a lid and store it in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will slow down bacterial growth. To use fermented rice water for your hair, apply it to your hair and scalp, leave it on for 20 minutes, and then rinse. Do this twice per week for hair growth and healthier hair. Fermented rice water helps repair the hair and puts beneficial microbes back into the hair. It can also be used on your face!

Skip These 10 Foods (Especially If You Have Diabetes)

If you have diabetes or if diabetes prevention is your goal, avoid these foods at all costs. Your health depends on it! Discover the 10 worst foods for diabetes that you should eliminate from your diet NOW! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Eliminate ultra-processed foods from your diet now with the FREE Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter App: https://drbrg.co/47sq8MN Apple Download: https://drbrg.co/3KUb6XG Android Download: https://drbrg.co/3KV39RV 0:00 Introduction: Avoid these foods 0:13 Insulin resistance explained 2:30 Seed oils and type 2 diabetes 6:53 Insulin resistance and diabetes 8:16 What not to eat if you have diabetes 12:42 How to detox aldehydes Long before prediabetes and diabetes comes insulin resistance. You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes! Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria. There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils. You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels. Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day! If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods: 1. Fast food fries and fried chicken 2. Deep-fried restaurant foods 3. Chips/crisps/corn chips 4. Doughnuts and pastries 5. Sweetened drinks 6. Frozen breaded foods 7. Commercial salad dressing and mayo 8. Instant noodles 9. Granola/protein bars and cookies 10. Microwave popcorn To detox aldehydes, consume more of the following nutrients: •Carnosine: grass-fed red meat •Sulfur-rich vegetables: onions, garlic, broccoli •Polyphenols: green tea, dark chocolate, pomegranate Disclaimer: Dr. Eric Berg received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988.

Why Do Most Indian Men Carry Abdominal Bulges?!

I have surprising new information about the causes of belly fat that goes beyond eating too many carbs. Watch this fascinating interview with Dr. Roshani Sanghani as we discuss health problems that stem from diet. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: How to lose belly fat 0:14 Welcome, Dr. Roshani Sanghani! 1:17 Health problems and protruding bellies in India 6:28 Shifting perspectives and focusing on diet 10:24 Carbohydrates in the Indian diet 16:00 Starches and carbohydrates 21:38 Vegetarians and protein 27:16 Eggs and cholesterol 29:04 Digestive problems DR. ROSHANI SANGHANI, MD Website: https://reisaanhealth.com/ Watch the Part 1 Here: ▶️   • Why Do Most Indian Men Have a Protruding P... Please join me in welcoming endocrinologist Dr. Roshani Sanghani. Dr. Sanghani explains the different health problems in India, including insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver, and protruding bellies. These problems are starting to occur in young children—1 in 3 Indian children have high triglycerides and a fatty liver. Endocrinologists do not focus on carbohydrates triggering insulin while in medical school. Dr. Sanghani tells us that she spent very little time on the lifestyle aspect of disease and much more time learning about prescriptions. Dr. Sanghani explains that endocrinologists prescribe insulin according to the patient's carbohydrate intake. It finally dawned on her that by lowering the patient’s carbohydrate intake, they could lower their insulin. She traveled to India, determined to share this information with her patients. India has been badly affected by low-fat, low-calorie dietary marketing. Dr. Sanghani explains a typical day of eating in the Indian diet consists of snacking, high carbohydrate intake, and very little protein. Many Indians are vegetarian, making it very difficult for them to meet their protein requirements. Many Indian vegetarians are okay with dairy and consume yogurt, milk, and paneer cheese for protein. She also recommends whey protein for her vegetarian patients. Although not a whole food, it’s an ideal way for a vegetarian to increase their protein intake. Some vegetarians are fine with adding eggs to their diet, although some are concerned about dietary cholesterol. There’s no proven link between dietary cholesterol and bad cholesterol in the blood. Tofu and tempeh are also protein options for vegetarians in India. Dr. Sanghani helps her patients learn to read labels and understand the problem with processed grains and starches. She focuses on first increasing protein, then decreasing carbs while increasing salad intake. Some of her patients wear continuous glucose monitors to understand the effects of carbohydrates. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
