Today, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of hyperpigmentation. Some people also refer to hyperpigmentation as aging spots, dark spots, or liver spots.

The liver doesn’t actually cause aging spots or liver spots. These spots are caused by too much melanin, which is a skin pigment.

Certain things might cause you to notice more dark spots, including:
• The summer months
• Age
• Diabetes
• Pregnancy
• Birth control
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Stress

A few causes of hyperpigmentation are:
• Excess estrogen
• Excess cortisol
• Excess insulin

Melanin protects against UV and also acts as an antioxidant. It’s actually there to try to counter all of the damage that’s happening to your skin. These dark spots are really an indication that you’re low in vitamin C and other antioxidants.

Tyrosinase is a certain enzyme that’s necessary to make melanin. But there are some interesting natural remedies that can act as tyrosinase inhibitors.

Natural remedies for aging spots, dark spots, or liver spots:
• Cinnamon
• Cocoa bean
• Grape seed extract
• Green tea
• Aloe
• Vitamin C
• Licorice
• Quercetin
• Melatonin

The best things to do to increase your antioxidant levels and get rid of dark spots:
1. Consume raw vegetables and salads
2. Consume foods high in zinc
3. Do fasting
4. Avoid sugar and stress
5. Avoid burning your skin
6. Exercise

Let’s talk about the best indicators of a vitamin C deficiency.

It’s crucial to understand that synthetic vitamin C is very different from natural vitamin C. In nature, vitamins come as a complex. Ascorbic acid, which is synthetic vitamin C, is only one piece of the vitamin C complex.

The natural vitamin C complex includes:
• Ascorbic acid
• Vitamin P
• Vitamin K
• Vitamin J
• Copper

Overall, vitamin C is essential to support your immune system, connective tissue, and capillaries. It’s also a very powerful antioxidant.

The top signs of low vitamin C:
1. Bleeding gums
2. Small red and purple dots on your skin
3. Bruising
4. Dry, rough, or scaly skin
5. Chicken skin
6. Nose bleeds
7. Dry, splitting hair

The best sources of vitamin C are foods high in vitamin C or food concentrates.

Foods rich in vitamin C:
• Lemons
• Peppers
• Cabbage
• Blueberries
• Sauerkraut

2:50 High cholesterol on keto

Today we're going to talk about important lesser-known risk factors for heart attacks. A risk factor is a certain variable that you can use to help predict the likelihood of something happening.

Well-known risk factors for a heart attack include:
• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Alcohol consumption
• Family history
• Age
• Gender
• Diabetes
• Cholesterol
• Obesity

It's important to know the difference between cause and correlation.

Cause:
A causes B

Correlation:
A occurs at the same time as B (but it doesn't mean A caused B)

You'll often hear that a high-fat diet causes diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. But, after a deeper look into certain studies, you might notice that instead of a high-fat diet causing these issues, it's only associated or correlated with these issues. There may also be other variables involved. For example, the person may have also been on a high-carb diet.

Lesser-known risk factors for heart attacks:
1. High insulin
2. CAC score
3. ApoB to ApoA1 ratio (you want high ApoA1 and low ApoB)
4. Small dense LDL particles
5. High Lp (a)
6. Poor sleep
7. Stress
8. Visceral fat
9. Inflammation

An advanced lipid profile test is fantastic to help you better understand your heart health by giving you a deeper look at what's going on.

Interestingly, high insulin is associated with many health issues that are risk factors for heart attacks. Check out my other videos to learn more about how to lower your insulin.

Should you eat protein bars as part of a healthy diet? Let’s look at popular protein bar ingredients and see why you might want to avoid them altogether.

0:00 Introduction: Are protein bars healthy?
0:57 CLIF Builder's protein bars
2:45 CLIF chocolate chip energy bars
4:27 KIND protein bars
5:21 Quest birthday cake bar
6:26 Pure Protein bars
7:45 ONE protein bars
8:38 MET-Rx protein bars
9:42 One of the most surprising protein bars to avoid

Today, I’m going to compare the ingredients of popular protein bars, but first, let’s compare a Snickers bar to a protein bar! A 50-gram Snickers bar contains 30 grams of carbs and is about 58% sugar.

CLIF Builder's protein bars are 68 grams and are about 41% sugar, with the same number of carbohydrates as Snickers. The extra carbs in the CLIF bar come from starches that quickly turn into sugar in the blood. CLIF Builder's bars contain 20 grams of protein but in the form of soy protein concentrate, a low-quality protein. Like most protein bars, they're also full of ultra-processed ingredients.

CLIF energy bars are 68 grams and 55.88% sugar. Despite their name, they will not give you sustainable energy, just a tiny spike followed by a crash.

KIND bars make several claims, such as “#1 ingredient=heart healthy peanuts," “low glycemic index,” “dairy-free,” and “non-GMO.” They contain glucose syrup, which is not a low-glycemic-index ingredient, along with sugar, honey, palm oil, soy protein isolate, and chicory root fiber.

Quest birthday cake bars contain 9 grams of sugar alcohol, which can lead to GI problems like gas, bloating, and diarrhea. They’re 41% sugar and also contain polydextrose, which hasn’t been studied much in humans.

Pure Protein bars claim to have only 2 grams of sugar, but they contain 17 grams of carbohydrates and only 1 gram of fiber. These bars contain 14 grams of starches, equivalent to 4 more teaspoons of sugar!

The ONE protein bar is a 60-gram product containing 20 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar, but it has 25 grams of carbs from starches and cellulose, which is essentially sawdust. It also contains maltitol, an ingredient you’ll want to avoid.

The MET-Rx meal replacement bar contains 48 grams of carbohydrates and ingredients such as rice starch, maltitol syrup, corn syrup, fructose, and soy protein isolate.

Next, let’s look at the ingredients of an A.M. RXBAR. They contain 10 grams of protein, oats, cashews, egg whites, and honey. However, the front label is misleading because these bars contain several other ingredients, 52% of which are sugar.

Find out how to lose stubborn belly fat fast with these fat-burning tips and tricks.

0:00 Introduction: What causes belly fat?
0:22 What is visceral fat?
2:24 Stress and belly fat
4:08 How to lose visceral fat
5:18 Best exercises to lose belly fat
6:18 Supplements that help boost fat loss

In this video, I’m going to share some weight loss tips to help you achieve a flat stomach. Fat storage is a survival mechanism, but there is a limitation to how much fuel can be stored. Once your body is out of storage, fat is placed around the organs. This type of fat is called visceral fat.

If visceral fat is stored for too long, it spills into your organs. This is called ectopic fat. The good news is that when you burn fat, this is the first to go.

It’s not the number of calories that causes this excess fat storage; it’s the type of calories. Alcohol and ultra-processed foods like high fructose corn syrup cause visceral fat and liver fat.

Chronic stress can even cause your body to turn things into sugar. Poor sleep can increase cortisol and visceral fat. Certain medications, such as steroids, antibiotics, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs, can also increase visceral fat.

Seed oils, refined sugars, and starches in the diet directly contribute to mitochondrial damage and visceral fat. To lose visceral fat, you need to eliminate ultra-processed calories. Instead, consume nutrient-dense foods like red meat, eggs, and fish.

HIIT exercise is the best exercise for burning fat. HIIT involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise with rest. Weight training can help reduce belly fat by increasing muscle mass. Long walks can help reduce belly fat by burning fat and reducing stress.

Vitamin B1 helps reduce stress and improve sleep. Nutritional yeast is one of the best sources of B1. Vitamin D can also help you lose weight. If you can’t go out in the sun, take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. Make sure to take magnesium with vitamin D3 because it allows for vitamin D's proper function and helps improve sleep. Fasting also helps to burn fat fast by reducing insulin spikes.

Learn about 7 anti-cancer fruits that can destroy cancer and boost health and longevity.

DATA:
https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/12/4/1589

0:00 Introduction: Cancer prevention diet
0:26 Anti-cancer fruits
1:39 Citrus fruits to prevent cancer
2:54 Grapes
4:11 Avocados
5:24 Cancer-fighting foods explained

1. Berries
Blueberries and blackberries are rich in anthocyanins that inhibit cancer growth and feed your gut microbes. This is vital because 80% of your immune system is in your gut microbiome. Research has shown that anthocyanins can decrease breast, prostate, and colon cancer.

2. Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits like lemon, lime, and grapefruit are rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system in cancer prevention. Flavonoids found in citrus fruits strengthen the liver’s ability to turn carcinogens into harmless particles. They’ve also been known to decrease the risk for certain types of cancer, especially of the digestive system.

3. Pomegranates
Pomegranates are rich in the compound ellagic acid, which is known for its anti-cancer properties. The compounds in pomegranates protect DNA from damage and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress.

4. Grapes
Grapes contain the phytonutrient resveratrol, a well-studied compound known to decrease aging and support health and longevity. Grapes work as an anti-cancer food by protecting your cells from stress that can trigger cancer.

5. Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain lycopene, a potent cancer-fighting compound. You can increase lycopene by cooking your tomatoes.

6. Avocados
Avocados are rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells from carcinogens. They also contain phytonutrients that target cancer stem cells.

7. Olives
Olives contain oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, which protect against cancer cell growth. Phytonutrients in olives increase apoptosis, which means they help cancer cells self-destruct

Cancer-fighting foods have developed compounds to protect themselves from UV radiation, pathogens, viruses, and bacteria. Anticancer compounds inhibit certain enzymes and increase autophagy, the recycling of damaged proteins.

Fruit contains sugar, but the fiber and phytonutrients help buffer its effects.
