1. Beans and lentils 
   No exceptions. They’re packed with soluble fiber, resistant starch, and plant protein, and they help improve blood sugar not just at one meal, but at the next one too.
   
2. Leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables. Spinach, kale, broccoli, zucchini. These foods help slow glucose absorption from the rest of your meal. Eat them first, and you’ll feel the difference.
   
   
3. Whole intact grains 
   Oats, barley, brown rice, buckwheat. Not flour, not instant. The less processed the grain, the better your post-meal blood sugar response.
   
   
4. Berries and whole fruit 
   Not juice. Whole fruit. The fiber changes how sugar behaves in your body and supports better long-term blood sugar outcomes.

Why ApoB is Important

Better Risk Predictor: A high number of circulating particles means a higher chance of plaque building up in your arteries.

Hidden Risks: Standard tests can miss risk in people with high triglycerides, diabetes, or obesity, making ApoB a more accurate warning sign. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Typical Ranges

Normal Level: Generally under 90 mg/dL is considered optimal for a low risk of heart disease.

High Level: Levels above 110 to 120 mg/dL indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. [1, 2]

How to Lower High ApoB

Healthy Diet: Limit saturated fats and eat more fiber, fruits, and vegetables.

Regular Exercise: Get at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily.

Medication: Doctors may prescribe cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins if lifestyle changes are not enough. [1]

This video features Debi Robinson and orthopedic surgeon Professor Paul Lee discussing regenerative medicine and practical, daily habits to rebuild bone health naturally at any age (0:00-0:45).

Key takeaways on bone regeneration:

Bone as Regenerative Tissue: Contrary to the traditional “scan and pill” medical model, Dr. Lee emphasizes that bones can regenerate if the right biological environment is created (2:15-3:05).

Traditional osteoporosis medications, such as alendronic acid, are often designed to stop bone turnover rather than rebuild it (4:30-5:30).

The 1% Rule: Instead of high-intensity workouts, the experts recommend making 1% incremental improvements in habits, such as increasing weight loading or rest, to build sustainable change (14:30-15:45).

The Importance of Rest: Regeneration happens during rest. Dr. Lee suggests planning rest before exercise to ensure the body is in a parasympathetic, bone-building state (15:45-16:50, 19:42-20:30).

Daily movement and hydration hacks:

Heel Drop Test: A simple way to shock the system and signal osteoblasts to build bone, recommended to be done in small, frequent bursts (16:50-17:50, 24:00-25:20).

Toileting Hack: Using daily bathroom trips as an opportunity for eccentric loading by slowly sitting and standing to strengthen the hips (26:30-29:00).

Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for cellular enzymatic processes. Dr. Lee recommends the “Five-Star Week” method, ensuring you drink enough water to use the restroom at least six times daily (30:00-32:00).

Physics and Energy:

The discussion also explores using physics—specifically heat, light (red light therapy), sound, vibration, and electromagnetism—to assist the body’s mitochondria in energy production and healing (35:00-42:00).

Professor Paul Lee

a renowned expert in regenerative medicine and author of

Practical Regeneration: No Hacks – Just Science, Systems and Results

outlines specific dietary guidelines focused on cellular health, structural restoration, and biological longevity. Rather than temporary restrictions, his approach leverages “Chemistry, Biology, and Time” to support the body’s natural repair mechanisms, with a heavy emphasis on structural components like muscles, bones, and joints. [1, 2, 3]

Let us now consider his key practical DIETARY recommendations. Upon researching we find that he focuses on both structural preservation and behavioral eating habits:

1. The Core Dietary Foundations

* Maximize Whole Foods & Vegetables: Shift the diet heavily toward high-fiber vegetables, whole grains, and unrefined ingredients to lower systematic inflammation. [2, 3]

* Incorporate Fermented Foods: Daily intake of fermented items (such as sauerkraut, kimchi, or plant-based ferments) is strongly emphasized to build gut microbiome diversity, which directly reduces inflammatory markers. [2, 4]

* Prioritize Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Essential for soothing joint inflammation, protecting cartilage, and supporting structural recovery. [5]

* Strictly Minimize Processing: Significantly reduce highly processed snacks, refined sugars, deep-fried items, and heavy saturated fats, which degrade cellular healing and speed up biological aging. [3, 6, 7]

2. Behavioral Principles: “How You Eat”

Professor Lee strongly underscores that the environmental and temporal context of eating dictates how well the body utilizes nutrients: [2]

* Rhythmic Eating: Eat at fixed, predictable intervals daily. Regularity stabilizes blood sugar, matches the body’s internal circadian rhythms, and prevents the hormonal disruptions that stall tissue repair.

* Warm and Simple Meals: Opt for warm, steamed, or easily digestible dishes over cold, rushed, or heavy foods. Warm meals prevent intestinal tension and encourage steady nutrient assimilation.

* Communal and Mindful Dining: Share meals with others when possible. Communal dining, laughter, and an attitude of gratitude lower oxidative stress and stimulate beneficial immune-cell environments typical of “longevity villages”. [2, 7]

There is much more than diet information in this book. He discusses these items in this interview.
