Shampoo and conditioner isn’t as necessary as I used to think it was. For the past few months I’ve pretty much been rinsing my hair with water. Since May, I’ve twice done a baking soda rinse at my scalp, but otherwise just water. I used to use mountains of conditioner and now I don’t need any. My hair isn’t quite as sleek, but it’s pretty good and less wasteful for sure. I used to have to rinse it with water every couple of days, not it’s once or twice a week.

I used to really worry about the amount of d cholesterol I ate, especially since dietary cholesterol was demonized for years. Now it seems more likely that avoiding dietary cholesterol causes your body to produce more cholesterol, while eating higher levels of cholesterol does not raise an individual’s cholesterol. I now know cholesterol is vital for health, especially production of healthy hormone levels, and is necessary for every cell in your body. I definitely include eggs on my list of superfoods.

It’s easy to think we know a lot about health, especially compared to prior generations, but we really know almost nothing. We’re decently good at treating acute injuries and have made great progress in treating infections, but we’ve completely gone the other direction with chronic diseases. We fix one thing, but that leads to so many unintended consequences. I’m constantly thinking about how everything is just a hypothesis and what we “know” now will probably change in the future. Whenever you hear an idea that you think is crazy, just keep in mind that Galileo was declared a heretic for believing the earth went around the sun. What current practice/belief do you think future people will look back and laugh about how wrong we were? 💫

In the past 2-3 years, I feel like I’ve learned that almost everything I thought I knew for my whole life has been wrong. The major thing I’ve learned is the media/mega corporations/big business indoctrinate people with the belief that human beings are fragile. Reality check: human beings become fragile by listening and following most of mainstream media advice. If you live the way humans beings are supposed to live, you’ll be anti-fragile. I’m going to do some post about some of the things I’ve learned. Warning you might think I’m super gross or dislike me by the end of these revelations. First up: fluoridated toothpaste, and toothpaste generally, is 100% unnecessary for oral health and the prevention of cavities. The real key to preventing cavities is proper nutrition, especially getting adequate amounts of vitamins A, E, K, and D. Additionally, fluoride actually kills healthy bacteria in the mouth that produces nitric oxide which has numerous health benefits. I ditched fluoridated toothpaste while ago, now if only I could get out out of my water. Btw, I’ve never had a cavity.

A great source of protein should be the foundation of every meal you eat. Protein is generally believed to be the most satiating macronutrient, making it more difficult to go crazy over eating it. Plus protein makes it possible for the body to maintain and build muscle. Lots of muscle is the key LIVING WELL into your old age, i.e. increasing your health span and not just your life span. Once you have a great source of protein as the center of your meal, complete it with nutrient dense, minimally processed sides. Follow this simple advice and you won’t believe how easily your health and life improves.
