Day 9 Press Up Challenge | Autophagy & the Respiratory System

22/11/2020

What is the purpose of stimulating autophagy?

Main reasons
• Detox – rids infections, pathogens, viruses, bacteria from every cell in the body.
• Cell regeneration
• Activates immune system
• In the respiratory system, it can lengthen the cilia, which is responsible for clearing pathogens

I believe it is important to get into a regular state of autophagy. I believe this keeps the immune system healthy and strong to defend the body from the threat of viruses and disease.

Some ways that you can stimulate autophagy are:
• Intermittent fasting (between 17 and 72 hours). This is easily achieved if you follow a low-carb diet.
• Give up smoking
• Stress less
• Sleep well
• Eat real food

Here is the research connecting autophagy to improved respiratory function.

Day 5 Press Up Challenge | Autophagy and the Immunity

Autophagy primes your immune system.
you can stimulate autophagy with intermittent fasting (between 17 and 72 hours). Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. It's like changing the oil in your car.

Autophagy helps to regulate cytokines and it also makes you more insulin sensitive.

"The immune system plays a critical role in fighting off SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, deregulated immune response may result in immunopathology and impaired pulmonary function [7,8]. Autophagy is a potential cell surveillance system that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of both innate [9] and adaptive immunity [10]. Induction of autophagy can potentially promote the immune system [11,12]. Targeting the immune system as well as the cellular processes (here, autophagy) that regulate immunity could offer a strategic tool against SARS-CoV-2 infection."

Vitamin D for Immune Health

10/5/2020

Another good show at Primal Living on YouTube today featuring Ivor Cummins.

Into 20 minutes of the show, the discussion about Vitamin D begins.

Being in the sun for about 20 minutes in shorts and t-shirt is the most effective way to top up your vitamin D levels. You can make over 20,000 units easily, which is over 20 times more than the recommended dose, that is too low anyway.

The darker the skin colour, the lower the amount of Vitamin will be absorbed.

In addition to Vitamin D, the sun also provides some nitric oxide and phyto-chemicals
.
An optimum level of 40 nanograms of Vitamin D in the body is ideal to help fight off viruses and illness. Vitamin D is important for immune system. According to current research, there is a 10-fold risk for picking up COVID if the level in the body is less than 20 nanograms.

Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammatory symptoms are some conditions that adversely affect levels of Vitamin D in the body.

The advice we have been given about being in the sun causes cancer needs to be clarified. Being in the sun is healthy. It has been shown that more sun exposure can lower melanoma. All one needs to do is ensure that one does not get burnt in the sun. 20 minutes a day is unlikely to cause burns unless the skin is very fair and sensitive.

It has also been shown that cutting out bad fats like vegetable oils, oils high in Omega 6, poly unsaturated oils, trans fats and replacing them with good natural fats like butter and saturated fat protects the skin from burning. The bad fats tend to oxidise and burn quickly. Some people who have switched to the low carb and healthy fat diets have found that where they used to get burnt in the sun, they don’t anymore.

The virus cannot be beaten - it can be controlled or suppressed, which means that it will still be around, possibly in a mutated form. This could mean that we could be faced with the same situation, as we have faced with the flu epidemic most years. The key is to improve immune health so that we have a defence system to help fight the virus and anything else that’s we encounter.

Eat real food - get some sun without burning - get healthy - save lives.

How to defend yourself against Viruses

Such good advice here.

It's very frustrating that governments refuse to talk about how we can improve our health to deal with viruses.

They haven't moved with the times.

They promote the 'Passive medical model' which is:
Eating the current outdated diet of Low Fat High Carbs
Take pills for the diseases caused by the above diet
Take the annual flu shot
Wait for the vaccine

As Dr Sten Ekberg says, the majority of people don't know what health is.

We do not have a health care system - we have a Sick care system, which treats symptoms.

Watch the video below to learn what you can do to get healthy.

Eat real food - get healthy - protect the NHS - save lives.

Time to change old habits to stay healthy

26/3/2020

Data seems to be showing that the majority of people dying from Coronavirus had underlying health issues.

Isn't it about time that the government include an advice on how we can boost our immune system and stay healthy?

More and more evidence is coming out indicating that carbohydrate consumption, which can push blood sugar up can cause insulin resistance leading to metabolic syndrome (Type 2 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, Alzheimer's Disease, Heart disease, allergies, etc).

Evidence is also beginning to reveal that using statins to control cholesterol is wrong. The body and the brain need cholesterol to function. The LDL part of cholesterol (the so-called 'bad' cholesterol) is important in helping the body fight and heal. Eating healthy fats is therefore important.

Isn't it time, now that we have time on our hands, to educate ourselves about these things? There's a vast amount of information on the internet, but make sure they are not funded by Big Pharma. There's a vast amount of information on YouTube by doctors and professionals. Not one but many - giving the same message that what we were told 30+ years ago about nutrition and medication is wrong. It's time we changed the old habits if we want to stay healthy and fight COVID-19 and anything else we confront.

Here is a video that was released in the last few days that we should watch and learn from:
