Resistance exercises lower appetite in the obese with Type 2 diabetes

Resistance exercises increase skeletal muscle fiber size and number. That is good for everyone, especially those with obesity or type 2 diabetes. That’s because muscle fibers use more glucose, lowers blood sugar, and control diabetes. Coupled with intermittent fasting, resistance exercises can burn many calories and body fat and produces weight loss. Resistance exercises are…

Exercise during fasting hastens ketosis onset

This article features a study that showed that ketosis could start earlier when high-intensity aerobic exercise is done at the start of fasting. Ketosis is the state the ketone levels are high enough to be an energy source. In times of no caloric intake, glucose gets depleted, and the body starts to convert body fat…

Exercise Makes Fasting Easier

This article presents a study that shows that exercise suppresses the release of the hunger hormone to delay hunger while fasting. The study was presented at the International Journal of Exercise Science conference in 2021. The researchers were from Brigham Young University. Brigham Young is the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day…

The kettlebell swing improves many pelvic conditions

This article includes two case reports from a male and female and recounts the health improvements in their pelvic area after doing kettlebell exercises. Specifically, the article deals with positive changes regarding stress incontinence, vaginal dryness, hemorrhoids, and erectile dysfunction. Next, I explain how kettlebell swings improved their health. A kettlebell (KB) looks like a…

Will Fasting Make My Muscles Shrink?

This article was first released on March 13, 2019. It is republished with new information. One concern with intermittent fasting is lean muscle may shrink. This article presents two studies that showed that lean mass or muscles are preserved with intermittent fasting. The first study showed that after eight weeks of alternate-day fasting, the muscles…

Physical Activity Prolongs Life

I initially posted on August 15, 2020. This article is updated with more information. This article shows several studies that show that minor improvements in the level of physical activities can make a difference in life expectancy no matter what age or gender. Highlights Exercise lowers the risk of dying early from all causes. “All…

Exercise releases myokines from skeletal muscles

This article was initially published on May 16, 2019. It has been updated. What is Cytokine? Cytokines are signaling proteins. Think of cytokines as text messages from one organ to another organ. The signal may be a ‘yes,’ “no,’ ‘make some more” (positive feedback loop), or that’s enough (negative feedback loop). The signals may be…

Intermittent Fasting while on Diabetes Medications

This post was initially released on October 25, 2020. It has been updated. Intermittent fasting has many benefits for diabetics. It reduces blood sugar, lowers weight, triglycerides, and total cholesterol, and decreases medication need. However, people with Type 2 diabetes or adult-onset diabetes who would like to practice intermittent fasting should avoid complications. Possible Complications…

Secrets of the Ice Man: Voluntary control of adrenaline and the effect on the immune system

Wim Hof is a man with extraordinary abilities. In a GQ article that featured the Ice Man, Wim Hof “holds 20 world records ranging from the world’s longest ice bath – 1 hour and 52 minutes and 42 seconds – to his successful attempt to scale Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts, shoes, and a…

Anti-Idiotype Antibodies against Spike Proteins may Explain Myocarditis

An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine proposed a mechanism for myocarditis after COVID-19 or COVID vaccination. Here is how it happens. During COVID-19 infection or after COVID vaccination, antibodies develop. Anti-spike protein antibodies bind to the spike proteins of the SARS-CoV-2. The antibodies prevent the virus from attaching to the ACE2…

Donor Blood Can Have Spike Protein Exosomes

The Journal of Immunology published a significant study that lives up to its name. Cutting Edge: Circulating Exosomes with COVID Spike Protein Are Induced by BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) Vaccination prior to Development of Antibodies: A Novel Mechanism for Immune Activation by mRNA Vaccines The study found that people vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine have exosomes carrying…

Degradation of Graphene in the Human Body

Observations of COVID-19 Vaccine Contamination A study was published sometime in July that showed that graphene is present in a Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine. The entire research was translated algorithmically and presented at the Spanish study’s Whole English translation showing 99% Graphene Oxide in the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine. So far, no published studies have confirmed their findings,…

Exercise Can Stop Tumor Growth

This article is about one effect of exercise on the immune system to stop tumor growth. Cancer prevention is always relevant but more so presently. A recent study discussed in Study: SARS-CoV-2 Spike Proteins Impaired DNA Repair That Can Lead to Defective Immunity and Cancers talked about the negative effect of vaccination on the immune system…

Is Luc Montagnier Correct About the Variants Showing Up After Mass Vaccination?

Luc Montagnier is a Nobel Prize-winning French virologist for his discovery of HIV. Back in May 2021, Montagnier had an interview that went viral. He warned about the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants if mass vaccination was done a pandemic. The RAIR Foundation reported the interview. Below are excerpts from the interview. How do you view…

Study Shows Decreased Antibody Response to Breakthrough Infections

If a person had COVID-19, then got vaccinated and then a breakthrough infection. His antibodies will be positive after the breakthrough infection. How will we know if the antibodies are from the disease or vaccination? That’s the study’s objective from the Department of Medicine of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The study  Anti-membrane and…

SARS-CoV-2 in White-Tailed Deer and Other Animals

A preprint article, SARS-CoV-2 infection in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), published two days ago, describes SARS-CoV-2 in white-tailed deer in Ohio. The authors from the Ohio State University, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the National Institute of Health found 129 free-ranging white-tailed deer from Northeast Ohio to have SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR in nasal swabs. The…

Myocarditis after mRNA Vaccination in the Military

In the past, myocarditis or inflammation of the heart muscles is rarely seen after vaccination.[1] Reports of myocarditis in the military prompted this study, Myocarditis Following Immunization With mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Members of the US Military.
