THREAD: 10 things I wish I knew in my 20s that have skyrocketed my health in my 30s. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#1 Vaccines can alter the gut microbiota and almost always do more harm than good. Diseases have mainly been eradicated due to better hygiene and nutrition, and not due to vaccination campaigns. Also, vaccines cause autism.

#2 Fruit juices are unhealthy: While fruit juices can provide vitamins and minerals, many are high in sugar and lack the fiber that whole fruits provide. Consuming too much can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Instead, opt for whole fruits whenever possible.

#3 Importance of Vitamin D: Optimal vitamin D levels are crucial for health and should ideally be above 50 ng/mL. Vitamin D supplements should always be taken with K2 and magnesium for the most benefit and to avoid calcification. sunfluencer.com/vitamin-d-magn…

#4 Pseudo-Experts can't be trusted: Many experts presented by mainstream media as health gurus cannot be trusted. In the attached video, @joerogan debunks Dr. Greger (@nutrition_facts), the unhealthy-looking veganism guru.

#5 The Impact of Phthalates: These chemicals, found in many plastics, can interfere with hormone functions and have been linked to various health problems. Opt for glass for food storage and avoid heating your food in plastic.

#6 The significance of quality sleep: Sleep isn't just about feeling rested. Good sleep hygiene improves memory, reduces inflammation, and even helps maintain a healthy weight. Ignoring sleep health can lead to chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

#7 Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial: These essential fats are highly important for your heart and brain health. They are renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties. Eat fatty fish at least once a week and get your Omega-3-Index tested regularly. sunfluencer.com/omega-3-index-…

#8 Aluminum in deodorants: Almost all deodorants contain aluminum, which can clog sweat ducts and reduce perspiration. However, aluminum is highly toxic and is linked to health issues such as Alzheimer's and various cancers. Avoid them like the plague!

#9 Ketogenic diet: This low-carb, high-fat diet counters many of today’s non-communicable diseases caused by a Western diet, which generally promotes chronic inflammation. However, according to CNN, it's the reason for higher risks of heart diseases. 🤡

#10 Drug prescriptions: They are end-of-pipe solutions and hardly ever address the root cause. Holistic approaches that address diet, environmental toxins, and physical activities are not favored by many doctors and Big Pharma because they'd lose their customers.
