20 seconds for each exercise:

1. Heels of each hand, pressing upon forehead above eyebrows, then press-up & hold.

2. Both index fingers pressing-in at top/side of nose bridge on both sides & hold.

3. Run those fingers down firmly along each side of nose.

4. Rapidly tap fingers on top of cheeck bones.

5. Place each thumb beneath cheekbones, firmly spread outward & hold.

Please care about your well-being. Do it for those who love you.

Dr. Dhand says, “Hundreds of millions across the western world, young people are going to face an absolute metabolic catastrophe in the next ten to 20 years; pre-diabetes, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, other inflammation. These are at levels unprecedented.”

He reminds us that every ancient civilization (think Greek, Roman, ancient Egyptians) valued strength and health. Look at their statues, their paintings. They knew it was important to be in the best shape as possible.

There is a deep cultural reason that we do not care about such ideals any longer. It takes years to get to the level of obesity we are seeing in 30-something year olds. You cannot consume 4,000 calories a day and not expect these unhealthy consequences.

We need more than simply banning food dyes. We need a complete cultural change!

Delightful comment from 96 year old reader w/ good advice for us young-ones;

I am 95, soon to be 96. I agree with everything you say, dear young man. I eat as much plant based food as l can & exercise twice daily. I honesty believe that’s why l am still here. I do sin on occasion. Yesterday l had pizza at our local senior center, but today I am back on track. I try sometimes to mention things to others about eating good food. It’s an uphill battle. So many people who are surprised at my age ask what is my secret (haha).

* First, I say, it is what you put in your mouth. Very important.

* Next, I say, if you don’t use it you lose it. MOVE, exercise!

Expert opinion
Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy.

It is not just what you eat, but also how you prepare your food that matters, as water-based cooking results in lower AGE formation and better health outcomes.

This randomized crossover trial showed that cooking methods significantly affect markers of cardiometabolic health—even when ingredients are identical.

Low-AGE-generating methods like boiling and steaming reduced serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs), improved lipid profiles, and increased beneficial serum protein 4E-BP1. In contrast, high-AGE methods like grilling and baking raised fecal butyrate levels. These findings suggest that how food is cooked—not just what is cooked—plays a key role in cardiovascular risk. The study advocates for including cooking methods in dietary guidelines and preventive strategies for heart and metabolic diseases.

Excess protein may dramatically increase the risk of cancer and accelerate aging. Dr. Valter Longo, one of the top scientists in aging research and creator of the Fasting Mimicking Diet, explains why the risk is so high.
