Chia seeds have been used for thousands of years. Watch this video to find out about their #1 benefit.

Omega-3s have many benefits, including supporting heart health. Salmon and sardines are among the best omega-3 sources, but what about chia seeds? It’s been said that chia seeds are a better source of omega-3s if you compare them gram for gram, but they don’t contain DHA. Chia seeds contain ALA, and only 0.5% converts into DHA. Chia seeds have also been compared to eggs. An egg contains around 7 grams of protein, while chia seeds contain 4 grams. The protein found in eggs is the most bioavailable form of protein. Chia seeds contain vitamin E, vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Research suggests that chia seeds are cardioprotective, help lower blood pressure, benefit your brain, and can even help thin your blood. Chia seeds contain soluble fiber, which is the most significant benefit of consuming them. To make a healthy chia pudding: 1. Mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with ½ cup of milk or unsweetened almond milk. 2. Stir the mixture until the seeds swell and form a gel. 3. Add kefir, berries, Greek yogurt, coconut cream, or nuts. The gel that forms when you mix chia seeds with liquid is an excellent food for your microbiome. Chia seeds can help with gut inflammation and constipation. They’re also very low in lectins. Chia seed gel contains polyphenols—plant chemicals that benefit your microbes. A healthy microbiome supports your mood, energy levels, and overall health. Consume chia seeds, fermented vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi regularly for a healthy microbiome.

Osteoporosis Isn't a Calcium Deficiency (Doctors Get This Wrong)

Can calcium make osteoporosis worse? If you’re taking a calcium supplement for osteoporosis, it may not be supporting bone strength and bone density the way you think. Discover how to support bone health the right way, and why calcium supplements alone may not be enough. 0:00 Calcium and osteoporosis 0:45 What causes osteoporosis? 1:04 Magnesium for bones 1:30 Parathyroid hormone and osteoporosis 2:31 Bone density vs. bone strength 3:38 Magnesium deficiency 4:33 Common osteoporosis treatment 5:49 How to reverse osteoporosis 6:40 Vitamin D, osteoporosis, and osteomalacia 7:47 Vitamin K2 8:36 Bone health tips 9:30 Should I take calcium for osteoporosis? 🌟 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/3SYBeVk [https://drbrg.co/3SYBeVk] Watch these next to learn more about the nutrients that support healthy bones: ▶️ https://youtu.be/89jJ1JlNZlg [https://youtu.be/89jJ1JlNZlg] ▶️ https://youtu.be/MwZ63SFmkPE [https://youtu.be/MwZ63SFmkPE] ▶️ https://youtu.be/Sn7T46fCjLE [https://youtu.be/Sn7T46fCjLE] Learn more about osteoporosis and osteopenia in this article: https://drbrg.co/4wPMFgA [https://drbrg.co/4wPMFgA] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. Osteoporosis is not simply a calcium deficiency. Bones store calcium, phosphorus, and more than half of the body’s magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate calcium, supports vitamin D function, and plays an important role in bone health. One of the most common factors associated with osteoporosis is elevated parathyroid hormone related to low vitamin D. Low magnesium can also affect parathyroid hormone. Some people have normal calcium levels but still develop severe osteoporosis, showing that bone density and bone strength are not always the same. Magnesium deficiency is difficult to detect with a standard blood test and may go unnoticed until it becomes more severe. Chronic stress and certain medications, including prednisone and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), may also affect bone health. If you have osteoporosis, getting enough magnesium is important. Focus on magnesium-rich foods, magnesium glycinate, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 to help support healthy bones and maintain bone density.

DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE OVER 50!!!

Find out what supplements NOT to take and what supplements to take as you age, especially if you’re over 50. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: What to take and what not to take as you age 0:18 Iron supplements 0:30 Side effects of iron supplements 1:05 Calcium supplements 1:28 Hypercalcemia 1:50 Synthetic vitamin A 2:30 What supplements to take as you age Today, I’m going to tell you about the best and the worst supplements to take as you age. Let’s start with iron supplements. Our bodies do not have a good way of eliminating excess iron, which can damage the liver. Too much iron can increase your risk of infection and also deplete zinc. Donating blood can help eliminate excess iron. If you have anemia, the best sources of iron are red meat, liver, grass-fed liver pills, or spleen extract. Many people consume too much calcium, which can build up in the arteries and kidneys. Synthetic vitamin A can cause damage to the liver, osteoporosis, and increased intracranial pressure. Best vitamins to take as you age: 1. Vitamin C 2. Vitamin B3 3. Magnesium 4. Vitamin D 5. Vitamin K1 6. Vitamin K2 While most synthetic vitamins should be avoided, synthetic vitamin C can be beneficial under certain circumstances.

STOP Aging and Look YOUNGER!

Is it possible to slow down aging? Find out how to look younger, live longer, and have fewer diseases in this quick video! Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: How to slow down aging 0:35 Anti-aging secrets 1:30 NAD explained 2:25 Anti-aging tips 4:07 Check out my video on methylene blue! In this video, I’m going to tell you how to slow down aging so you can look younger and live longer. The mitochondria are the body's energy factory. The health and function of your mitochondria directly correlate to aging and longevity. The Krebs cycle is a process in your body that starts with food and ends with energy. It requires nutrients or cofactors to work properly. NAD is a vital nutrient involved in extracting energy from food to make ATP, and it’s critical for longevity and anti-aging. NAD prevents muscle loss, especially in cancer patients, and protects against radiation. As we age, NAD decreases. Researchers have found that CD38 depletes NAD, and mice with less CD38 tend to live longer. Here are 5 compounds that boost NAD to help slow aging: 1. Apigenin Parsley is the best source, but it’s also found in thyme, oregano, basil, and celery. 2. Anthoxanthin Consume blueberries and other blue, purple, or red foods such as elderberry, concord grapes, and purple potato. 3. Curcumin This is found in turmeric. 4. Quercetin The best source is onion, and the most is found in the outer part. You can also find quercetin in apple skin. 5. Methylene blue This was the first medical drug ever invented. It seems to be a good inhibitor of CD38, which can help boost NAD. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

There is a certain disease that is so ignored yet incredibly common—understanding it will help explain a lot about your health. This disease is hyperinsulinemia, a condition where you have too much insulin in your blood. Issues associated with hyperinsulinemia: • Frequent urination at night • Fatigue • Carb cravings • Inability to go long periods without eating • Belly fat • Slow metabolism • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease • Brain fog • Lack of concentration • Mood disorders • Dementia • Increased risk of cancer, heart attacks, clots, and strokes • Nerve problems • Lowered immune system • High LDL cholesterol (small dense particle size) • High triglycerides • High blood pressure • PCOS • Diabetes type 2 • Gallstones Doctors don't often test for hyperinsulinemia—just high blood sugar. But you can have high insulin levels for years and not have high blood sugar levels. High-carb diets, sugar, and frequent eating all contribute to high insulin. So, how do some people consume a lot of carbs and sugar and still have normal blood glucose levels? Well, insulin is working hard to quickly remove the sugar from the blood to give you normal blood sugar levels. But, insulin is just as toxic as sugar in high amounts and can lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, and other health conditions. Ask your doctor about a fasting insulin test to better understand your insulin levels. While you wait on the test, you can start promoting healthy insulin and blood sugar levels by getting on the Healthy Keto diet and doing intermittent fasting.

Your Waist Size Is IMPORTANT!

Did you know that your waist circumference can predict your risk of severe health conditions more than your actual weight? Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 0:00 Introduction: Waist circumference and health 0:24 Visceral fat 1:13 Visceral fat vs. subcutaneous fat 2:44 Belly fat 3:06 Check out my video on how to get rid of visceral fat! In this video, I’m going to tell you why your waist circumference is more important than your weight. A woman’s waist should be less than 35 inches, and a man’s should be less than 40 inches. Every inch increases the risk of premature death. Visceral fat is fat that surrounds the organs and has several negative health consequences, including the following: •Sends signals to increase inflammation in the body •Contributes to insulin resistance •Hard to detect •2x-3x greater risk for heart disease •Increases risk of cancer, especially of the breast and colon Visceral fat is not the same as subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is hormonal fat caused by cortisol or insulin. Consuming carbohydrates and frequent eating can spike insulin, leading to visceral fat. After menopause, women often lose their waistline due to a shift in hormones. Estrogen and progesterone decrease while cortisol increases. This also contributes to a loss of muscle mass. Body mass index (BMI) is not the best indicator of your overall health because it doesn’t reflect whether a person has significant muscle mass or fat. Some belly fat looks like visceral fat but is actually related to cirrhosis of the liver.
