When faced with a gout diagnosis, many people are told to reduce their intake of red meat, organ meats, and shellfish because they contain purines. Purines turn into uric acid, and for a small percentage of people, removing them from the diet may eliminate gout symptoms. However, many people find that avoiding purines alone doesn’t help.

Research has found that one of the strongest drivers of gout is insulin resistance. Uric acid is normally eliminated through the kidneys and the gut. When you have insulin resistance, it becomes more difficult for the kidneys to flush out uric acid. As uric acid builds up, it can accumulate in the joints, causing gout pain, or back up into the kidneys and contribute to kidney stones.

High-fructose corn syrup can significantly increase uric acid production in the liver. Fructose is found in table sugar, agave nectar, fruit, and fruit juice, and is primarily metabolized by the liver. Hidden glucose from industrial starches can significantly raise insulin levels, contributing to uric acid buildup and joint pain, especially in the big toe and knees. Poor gut health and alcohol consumption may also contribute to gout.

Some people experience a gout attack when starting keto, but this is typically temporary and often subsides within the first or second week. Consuming celery and increasing your fluid intake may help your body clear uric acid more quickly.

You already have cancer cells! Not active cancer, but precancerous cells. Even within a tumor, there can be many different types of cancer cells that survive on different types of fuel.

Most people don’t know these surprising facts about cancer. Cancer can send out “scouts” before it spreads, turn your own immune cells against you, and even steal energy from the immune system. Treatment may also fail to eliminate cancer stem cells, which is one reason cancer can sometimes come back.

Cancer develops in stages:

• Hyperplasia
• Atypical hyperplasia
• Metaplasia
• Dysplasia
• Carcinoma in situ
• Invasive cancer
• Metastatic cancer

Cancer cells grow as quickly as possible, consuming glucose and producing lactic acid. Prolonged fasting may help limit the resources cancer cells depend on.

The body has several natural lines of defense against cancer. Guardian cells help repair damaged cells or trigger self-destruction when cells can’t be repaired. Natural killer cells help target cancer cells. Immune function is heavily influenced by sleep, stress, and environment.

Cancer also has strategies to suppress the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D is vital for healthy immune function and defense. Cancer cells need their own blood supply, and compounds like sulforaphane may help target this process.

Cancer thrives in areas of inflammation, which is why supporting a healthy immune system and overall health is so important.

Should you eat before bed? Growth hormone naturally spikes during the first 90 minutes of sleep, but eating before bed may suppress this important hormone. Growth hormone plays a key role in fat burning, muscle growth, collagen production, bone health, recovery, healthy immune function, and brain health.

Most of your body’s repair and recovery occurs while you sleep. For better sleep quality and beauty sleep, avoid foods that significantly raise insulin before bedtime. Sugar and starches trigger the greatest insulin response, while protein and vegetables have a much smaller effect.

Sleep quality affects everything from cognitive function to food cravings the next day. Melatonin, the hormone that helps you fall asleep, is also influenced by your eating habits.

For better sleep, digestion, blood sugar, and gut health, stop eating 3 hours before bed. Make your last meal nutrient-dense with adequate protein, healthy fats, and sea salt to help keep you satisfied throughout the night.

One simple breathing technique can help lower blood pressure levels in just a few minutes. Try breathing in for 4 seconds and out for 6 seconds, then use a blood pressure monitor to compare your blood pressure before and after.

This technique works by stimulating the vagus nerve, which influences the heart and parasympathetic nervous system. Focusing on a longer exhale can also help promote relaxation during periods of stress or anxiety. Sunlight exposure also provides additional support for healthy blood pressure by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which helps relax blood vessels.

High blood pressure often develops long before you’re diagnosed with hypertension. In fact, changes in arterial stiffness can occur years earlier. A pulse wave velocity test can help assess arterial stiffness before high blood pressure develops.

Nearly 90% of hypertension cases are classified as essential hypertension, meaning the exact cause is unknown. Lifestyle factors are rarely studied in healthcare research.

Arterial stiffness is often preceded by high levels of insulin, which cause sodium retention. Refined sugar consumption, chronic stress, and low magnesium are a few factors that trigger high insulin levels.
