Back in 1890, the world's fattest man was so big that he was considered a freak show in the circus. Today, you could find a dozen guys like that at any Walmart.

But being fat is a choice. In this THREAD, I'll show you how to lose weight and become the best version of yourself.⬇️

#1: Two days ago, I wrote a thread about the increasing threat of obesity for our society, comparing people from the 60s with those nowadays. I mentioned several causes for this phenomenon. In this thread I'll present 22 solutions to become healthy. 🔥⬇️

#2: Eliminate sugar! Sugar is poisonous and is similarly addictive to cocaine. It doesn't only contribute to the development of insulin resistance, but also has negative effects on your liver in conjunction with a high-fat diet. Be aware that sugar comes in more than 60 forms.

#3: Drink in moderation! Alcohol is a drug that can inflict substantial health and social harm. Because it is socially accepted, its dangers are often silently tolerated. If your health matters to you, it's crucial to set personal limits!

#4: Discover psilocybin. Research shows that psilocybin, a compound found in certain mushrooms, can help curb both alcohol consumption and sugar cravings. It modifies brain function to decrease addictive behaviors and depression, thereby offering pathways to healthier habits.

#5: Reduce carbs! A ketogenic or low-carb diet, similar to our ancestors' diet rich in omega-3 seafood, meats, roots, and fruits, is extremely beneficial. It aligns with our evolutionary needs and optimizes our metabolic health. Make sure you only eat omega-3-rich grass-fed meat.

#6: Eat fatty fish twice a week! Humans are among the few species incapable of producing omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, which are vital for brain function and inflammation control. Their deficiency poses a serious health risk. sunfluencer.com/omega-3-index-…

#7: Get rid of heavy metals! Borax has the capability to bind to heavy metals and other toxins in the body, making them easier to eliminate through the skin and urinary system. This is especially important when consuming bigger fish species such as tuna. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#8: "Aluminium-based deodorants can pose health risks, contributing to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Alternatives containing baking soda or essential oils offer safer options. They effectively control body odor while reducing chemical exposure.

#9: Avoid phthalates! These chemicals, found in many plastics, can interfere with hormone functions and have been linked to various health problems and transforming you into a cuck. Opt for glass for food storage and avoid heating your food in plastic.

#10: Don’t get jabbed! 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 can cause autism.

#11: 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.

#12: Get a sunbath! Optimal vitamin D levels are crucial for health and should ideally be above 50 ng/mL. To achieve this, vitamin D supplements might be necessary and should always be taken with K2 and Mg for the most benefit and to avoid calcification. sunfluencer.com/vitamin-d-magn…

#13: Ferment! Fermented foods like Sauerkraut, Kimchi, and Kombucha, rich in probiotics and vitamin K (complementing Vitamin D as explained above), are vital for gut health. The shift from sourdough to non-fermented wheat products partly contributed to the current health crisis.

#14: Intermittent fasting reprograms your metabolic processes, improving longevity and cognitive health. By cycling between eating and fasting, you allow your body to repair cells and optimize energy use. It's a practice that taps into our evolutionary roots for optimal health.

#15: Grow your own food, learn how to cook! By growing your own food, you make sure that the stuff you consume is free from agrotoxins such as glyphosate. Also, that food will contain way more nutrients than the one you buy in the supermarket.

#16: Talk to your doc - reduce your meds! Drugs 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 MDs and Big Pharma because they'd lose their customers.

#17: Sleep at least 8h per night! 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.

#18: Relax! It is known that constant stress leads to chronically elevated cortisol levels. Cortisol is the stress hormone that not only lowers testosterone levels (resulting in low libido, less sex and children - well played, Bill) but also contributes to higher mortality rates.

#19: Practice gratitude daily! Practicing daily gratitude has significant scientific backing. It promotes positive brain function, fostering happiness and reducing stress. This simple act can improve mental well-being, bolster relationships, and even enhance physical health.

#20: No self-victimization! Self-victimization can lead to a cycle of negativity, stifling personal growth and self-improvement. So don't do it! You are not a liberal!

#21: Work out intensely at least 3 times a week! Lifting weights at least three times a week stimulates the release of hormones that promote healthy metabolism and improves overall body strength and functionality. Be an alpha, not a cuck!

#22: Filter your water! Not only does toothpaste often contain the neurotoxin "fluoride," but so does tap water. Filter your water before drinking it.

#23: Have a purpose in life! This is probably the most important point. Having a purpose in life fuels motivation, fosters resilience, and contributes to overall well-being, paving the path for personal growth and fulfillment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#24: Follow me! Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I hope I was able to give you some good motivations and inspire you to flip a switch or two in your life. For a thrilling daily infusion of wisdom and life hacks, don't hesitate to hit that follow button! 🙏🏻
