What happens when you fast for 5 days? Will you starve? Find out about the benefits of prolonged fasting and how it can be one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. Discover expert tips to make the most of your 5-day fast! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Fasting benefits 0:49 How prolonged fasting works 2:32 Prolonged fasting tips 4:52 Autophagy explained 5:44 Day 3 of a 5-day fast 10:47 Day 4 of a 5-day fast 13:35 Refeeding 14:50 5-day fast benefits Discover 25 ways to induce autophagy with this free resource: https://drbrg.co/45VOz3B Learn the basics on intermittent fasting with this FREE mini course: https://drbrg.co/47si1Ag Refuel your body the right way with this comprehensive list of nutrient-dense foods: https://drbrg.co/4oyfdHV On day 1 of fasting, glycogen is eliminated from the body. Your insulin drops on your first day of fasting, allowing you to tap into your fat reserve. Electrolytes, trace minerals, and B vitamins can be very beneficial during prolonged fasting, especially if you haven’t built up a reserve of these nutrients. You can drink tea and coffee without cream or sugar and have water with lemon during your 5-day fast. Plenty of sun, long walks in nature, hot and cold therapy, and HIIT can also enhance the benefits of prolonged fasting. On day 2 of prolonged fasting, you get deeper into ketosis, which means your body burns fat for energy. Autophagy typically begins on the second day of prolonged fasting. This is the process in which the body recycles damaged proteins and uses them for fuel and new tissues. On day 3, brain function and mood continue to improve. BDNF is stimulated, which helps support brain cell regeneration and increases your learning capacity. You also enter a state of deep autophagy, which helps repair mitochondrial damage and clean up intracellular pathogens. On day 3 of a prolonged fast, your immune system essentially resets. Prolonged fasting supports the growth of the thymus gland and allows the gut lining to regenerate completely. People often experience a massive spike in growth hormone on day 3, which protects against muscle loss. On day 4, hunger is gone, and maximum fat burning occurs! Bone broth can be beneficial if you’re struggling through a 5-day fast or experiencing a stressful event. Longevity and protective genes are heightened, and your antioxidant networks are strengthened during prolonged fasting. It can also help diversify your microbiome. Slowly begin the refeeding process with around ¼ of your typical calories. Try an egg with sauerkraut, and then wait a few hours before consuming something like a small amount of soup with avocado. After a few more hours, consume berries and nuts. Wait before introducing a full meal and avoid sugar and carbohydrates. High-quality food is vital at this time! After a 5-day fast, your skin, muscles, joints, and brain will show significant improvements! Regular intermittent fasting can help prepare you for a 5-day fast.

The Struggle of the Cabbages

Sauerkraut and kimchi are two variations of fermented cabbage. They both have amazing benefits for gut health, but is one better than the other? In this video, we’ll compare the health benefits of sauerkraut to the health benefits of kimchi to see how they stack up. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Chapters: 0:00 Introduction: Sauerkraut vs. kimchi 0:13 Health benefits of kimchi 0:30 Sauerkraut benefits and gut health 1:19 More on kimchi 3:01 Fermented cabbage and gut health 4:17 Is kimchi healthier than sauerkraut? 5:11 Sauerkraut vs. kimchi for fat loss Kimchi and sauerkraut are 2 of the top probiotic foods. Both are made of fermented cabbage. Sauerkraut has a mild taste, while kimchi is spicy and contains other vegetables. Kimchi is made from napa cabbage, radish, garlic, chili pepper, ginger, and salt. Because kimchi contains more vegetables, it has more phytonutrients. It also has a higher diversity of microbes. The dominant microbe in sauerkraut and kimchi is Lactobacillus plantarum. It can survive harsh environments, including the acid in your stomach. This microbe contributes to beneficial gut bacteria and can also increase serotonin. Kimchi helps cultivate a unique microbe not found in sauerkraut that inhibits pathogens such as listeria. It’s also protective against fungus, yeast, and mold. Sauerkraut has more of the microbe L. brevis, which benefits gut health and the immune system. Sauerkraut and kimchi both make bacteriocins, which are natural antibiotics. Sauerkraut and kimchi are both made of fermented cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable with the following beneficial properties: •Rich in phytonutrients •Loaded with glutathione •Contains anthocyanins that support longevity •Potent source of vitamin U, which protects against ulcers •Contains glutamine, which is very beneficial for a leaky gut Not only does kimchi have more diverse microbes, but it also contains fermented garlic, which has potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s also very beneficial for your immune system. There’s a compound in ginger that turns into several other anti-inflammatory molecules when fermented. Ginger is beneficial for digestion and can be an effective remedy for nausea. Compounds in chili pepper are also enhanced when fermented and are beneficial for pain, inflammation, circulation, metabolism, and fat loss. Kimchi is better for weight loss because of its beneficial properties for blood sugar and insulin resistance. It also has more vitamin C. Look for raw sauerkraut or kimchi for the most benefits!

This Will Irritate You Off!

Less than 1% of beef sold in the U.S. is truly grass-fed. Misleading food labels and industry loopholes surround the grass-fed beef marketing lies. Find out about the grass-fed scam and what you can do to make healthy choices. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Grass-fed beef exposed 1:36 Grass fed vs. grain fed 2:52 Antibiotics and grass-fed beef 3:29 Feedlots in the U.S. 4:41 100% grass-fed beef In 2016, the USDA dropped the official definition of grass-fed. Technically, all cows are grass-fed until the last 3 to 6 months of their lives, when they’re typically fattened with grains. However, despite misleading food labels, over 99% of beef in the store is not truly grass-fed. Cows are fed grains to quickly fatten them up, but these aren’t “healthy” grains like many people assume. Cows in feedlots are fed DDGS (dried distillers grain with solubles), a cheap waste product of GMO, inedible dent corn used for making ethanol. This is incredibly profitable because it causes the cows to gain weight quickly for very little cost. Fiber, limestone, and synthetic vitamins and minerals are added to this corn byproduct. Monensin, an antibiotic, is also added. Antibiotics are regularly used in feedlots in the U.S. to quickly increase weight gain in animals. Beta-agonists are also used to enhance muscle growth. Some studies have shown that the use of this medication in animals can cause anxiety in the humans who consume them. There are two types of feedlots: open and closed. In closed feedlots, the cows only get 24 square feet of space and around 150 square feet in open feedlots. For truly grass-fed beef, look for 100% grass-fed. Support small farmers for the healthiest meat and to help put an end to the grass-fed scam!

The Hidden Benefit of Apple Cider Vinegar That NO ONE KNOWS

I’ve done many videos on the amazing health benefits of apple cider vinegar, but I’ve never mentioned this. Many people use apple cider vinegar for immunity, digestion, and weight loss, but there’s more! Discover some fascinating ACV benefits you’ve probably never heard of. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: Apple cider vinegar benefits 0:29 Understanding microbes 1:58 Apple cider vinegar for gut microbes 3:35 The benefits of microbes 5:16 What wakes the bad bacteria? 6:40 How to use apple cider vinegar Recommended Apple Cider Vinegar: https://www.fairchildsvinegar.com/ Most people are familiar with the more popular benefits of apple cider vinegar, including the following: •Supports digestion •Decreases bloating •Improves indigestion and acid reflux •Supports healthy blood sugar levels •Helps make insulin more sensitive •Decreases a fatty liver •Decreases inflammation Both good bacteria and bad bacteria can go into a dormant state. Microbes in a dormant state are protected from many environmental stresses and chemicals, especially antibiotics. Dormant microbes can survive for decades or even thousands of years! A change in environment, like a change in pH, can wake good bacteria or cause them to go dormant. Most good bacteria thrive in an acidic environment. Apple cider vinegar acidifies the environment for good microbes. Things like kombucha, pickle juice, sauerkraut, and kimchi have similar effects. Certain microbes create butyrate, which helps with insulin resistance. These microbes thrive in an acidic environment. We have a synergistic relationship with the microbes in our gut. We provide a home, and they provide immune protection, help with digestion, vitamin production, and more. By making their environment more acidic, you help activate them. H. pylori releases ammonia, which alkalizes the stomach acid. This allows it to do its damage, causing ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. C. diff, E. coli, and salmonella go into a state of dormancy when the pH drops below 6. When your immune system is suppressed, bad bacteria can come out of dormancy. Antibiotics, stress, Prednisone, and vitamin D deficiency can all suppress the immune system and activate pathogenic microbes. Adequate vitamin D in amounts of at least 10,000 IU daily may help keep pathogenic microbes in remission. Try drinking 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every evening with a straw to support your beneficial microbes. Fairchild’s Apple Cider Vinegar is an excellent option. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

This is the best remedy for eyelashes that are falling out—give it a try! DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3686323/ 0:00 Introduction: The best remedy for eyelashes that are falling out 0:10 What causes eyelashes to fall out? 2:32 The #1 remedy for eyelashes that are falling out 3:52 Check out this video on rosacea! Today I’m going to share the best way to grow strong, healthy eyelashes. I’m also going to explain why you could be losing eyelashes. There are tiny mites that live among our friendly bacteria. These mites are neutral—they don’t help us or hurt us. However, an overgrowth of these mites can cause problems. An overgrowth of mites within your eyelashes can cause your eyelashes to fall out. If they overgrow on your skin, they may cause rosacea. These mites are also known to cause alopecia in certain cases. The top medications that are given to people who lose their eyelashes actually kill these mites. However, there are natural alternatives that are antimicrobial and may be beneficial. The best natural remedy to stop the loss of eyelashes and support the growth of eyelashes is a combination of tea tree oil and castor oil. Be very careful not to get these oils in your eyes because they can cause eye irritation. To try this natural remedy for eyelashes: 1. Mix two drops of tea tree oil into one tablespoon of castor oil. 2. Use a cotton swap or Q-tip to very carefully apply a tiny amount to the roots of the upper eyelashes before bed. 3. Leave the oils on overnight. You can apply this every other day for six weeks. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
