Most people think the gut heals during a fast. The newest research says that’s only half the story. 🧵 In a 2024 study in Nature, MIT researchers found that gut stem cells regenerate most strongly in the 24 hours after a fast, when you start eating again. That was in mice, but it changed how I think about fasting. Your break-fast meal lands when your gut lining is primed to rebuild. So feed it like it matters: ✅ Quality protein ✅ Colorful, fiber-rich plants ✅ A healthy fat like olive oil ❌ Charred meat, ultra-processed snacks, sugary drinks There’s more new research too. A 2026 randomized trial in Nature Medicine tested a 5-day-a-month fasting-mimicking diet in adults with mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease. About two-thirds improved. My own confession as a dietitian: fasting wasn’t my biggest lever for inflammation. MRT testing and the LEAP protocol were. And in perimenopause, I fast less often, and my fasts are shorter and gentler, because long fasts pushed my cortisol the wrong way. Fasting is a tool, not a religion. Test, don’t guess. I just rebuilt my post with 13 science-backed benefits of fasting for gut repair 👇 thehealthyrd.com/13-interest… #TheHealthyRD #GutHealth #IntermittentFasting

"High HDL-C is associated with lower ASCVD risk, independent of apoB, and it attenuates the effect of high apoB on ASCVD risk. These findings suggest HDL-C's role in primary ASCVD prevention warrants re-evaluation" Low HDL and high TG is commonly seen in Insulin resistance..

94% of the apples the USDA tested still had pesticide traces after a RINSE. That's the same quick rinse you give them at home. So if you only rinse, you're eating what you think you washed off. None of those apples were over the legal limit. To me, legal doesn't mean clean. A University of Massachusetts lab tested a stronger wash. In 1 small study, they coated apples with 2 pesticides, waited 1 day, then compared 3 washes. A baking soda soak cleared both off the surface in 12 to 15 minutes. It beat plain tap water and a 2-minute bleach wash used to sanitize produce. Their soak looked like this: • About 2 teaspoons of baking soda per 1 liter of water, about 1 quart, in a clean bowl • 12 to 15 minutes in the water • A rinse under running water after Some pesticide had already soaked into the peel, where the wash couldn't reach. Peeling removes more, but you lose the nutrients in the skin. The FDA sticks to running water and a scrub, and says to skip soap and store-bought produce washes. Organic first when you can. When you can't, soaking is a step beyond rinsing, and I'd use it on apples.

SUCCESS STORY: BETTER DIABETES CONTROL, FEWER MEDICATIONS & IMPROVED ENERGY IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS! Mr. AJ Age 51, fro, Dubai approached me with an HbA1c of 7.3%, despite being on multiple diabetes medications. He enrolled in Aug 2026 end, and we introduced an individualised low-carbohydrate lifestyle suited to his needs. In less than two months, his latest reports show encouraging improvements! August → October 2026 ✅ HbA1c: 7.3% → 6.4% ✅ Serum Creatinine: 1.07 → 0.97 mg/dL ✅ eGFR: 83 → 94 mL/min/1.73 m² ✅ Weight Loss: 2 kg & inch loss ✅ Better Energy: Feeling more energetic throughout the day ✅ Improved Outlook: More confident, positive and optimistic about his health And His Diabetes Medication Has Been Reduced! Earlier, he was taking: Sitagliptin + Metformin, twice daily Glimepiride 1 mg, once daily His doctor has now discontinued glimepiride, while his other diabetes medications continue. His kidney function markers have also moved in a favourable direction, although both his earlier and current eGFR values were within a generally reassuring range. An HbA1c reduction from 7.3% to 6.4% in less than two months, alongside a reduction in medication, is a promising beginning. There is still progress to be made, and sustained results will be important. Congratulations to Mr. AJ on his commitment + progress. Looking forward to even better results in the coming months! - Metabolic Health India® Individual results vary. Shared for education and awareness.
