Summary
Apply these healthy habits today for your best health yet!
1. Only eat when you’re hungry.
2. Only drink when you’re thirsty.Over-consuming liquid dilutes electrolytes, especially sodium, which can cause dehydration.
3. Carbonated water is more hydrating.
4. Find the diet that works best for you.
5. Practice intermittent fasting.Intermittent fasting allows your body to recycle damaged proteins, create new tissues, clean up pathogens, and eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold.
6. Stop snacking between meals. Snacking keeps insulin high. Stopping snacking can significantly improve your health, even if you don’t change your diet.
7. Lower your carb intake. The most important thing to look at when reading a label is the carbohydrates. You should consume no more than 30 grams of carbohydrates per day.
8. Request a fasting insulin test. A fasting insulin test can help you prevent diabetes before it becomes a problem.
9. Test your vitamin D levels.You need at least 10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D per day. Magnesium is vital for proper vitamin D function.
10. Get plenty of potassium.You need 4700 mg of potassium per day. Potassium calms the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, and increases energy.
11. Avoid synthetic vitamins and look for high-quality, nutrient-dense supplements.
12. Red meat is the most nutrient-dense protein, vital for health and well-being, energy levels, and healthy blood sugars.
13. Counter past antibiotic use with a homemade probiotic mixture to help restore your gut microbiota.
14. Overtraining can deplete your testosterone. Rest is vital to achieve muscle growth and to keep your hormones balanced.
15. Take vitamin B1 if you stray from your healthy diet.
16. Choose a natural source like beef liver or liver supplements if you need more iron.
17. Focus on exercise for age-related atrophy.
18. Take 50,000 to 100,000 IU of vitamin D before surgery.
19. Invest in a good water filter to remove forever chemicals from your drinking water.

| 0:00.0 | I want to give you an updated list of my top tips to be super healthy. A lot of these tips I'm |
| 0:05.4 | going to share with you or based on my mistakes. If you apply these tips, you're going to solve |
| 0:10.0 | a lot of your health problems. Let's start with tip number one. You only want to eat when you're |
| 0:14.2 | hungry and you don't want to eat if you're not hungry. This sounds too simple, right? For years, |
| 0:19.8 | right at the end of dinner, I snacked constantly. |
| 0:23.4 | I never really paid attention to my hunger. I just like food and I just kept eating. But if you |
| 0:28.5 | were just to wait until you're actually hungry and eat, your body would do so much better. |
| 0:34.0 | Don't eat if you're not hungry. Number two, drink liquid when you're thirsty. And don't drink if you're not thirsty. This ideal that we have to drink so much liquid is based on |
| 0:43.9 | false information. You're diluting electrolytes, especially sodium. Now we can end up with a situation |
| 0:48.9 | where you're creating more dehydration when you're drinking more liquid. The next tip relates to that tip I just mentioned. |
| 0:55.7 | I find that when I drink carbonated water, I feel more hydrated. When I drink regular water, |
| 1:02.8 | for some reason, I'm not as hydrated. The other thing that I do to hydrate myself is when I drink |
| 1:08.0 | liquid, many times I'll put a tea bag in there that's naturally decaffeinated. |
| 1:12.7 | For some reason, when I drink tea, I get way more hydrated. I can drink more water. It just feels better. |
| 1:19.1 | And plus, I'm getting the phytonutrients from the tea. I will take a gallon glass jar and I'll fill |
| 1:23.6 | up with water. I'll put a couple tea bags in there. And I'll put it outside in the sun |
| 1:28.4 | for one to two hours. The sun gives it infrared. Infrared actually makes structured water, |
| 1:35.1 | which is really healthy. I've been doing that lately. My body loves it. Next tip. If you have a |
| 1:41.3 | confusion of what diet to do or what food to eat and you really don't know |
| 1:46.3 | what is true or not, go ahead and try one diet and see how you feel. Try the other diet, see how you feel. |
| 1:51.8 | Then you'll really know what works for you. So I'm not about forcing someone to do a certain diet or a certain food, |
| 1:57.6 | but I am interested to get someone to try something out to see if it actually |
