Living healthy - scientific references
#1. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee: make disease disappeared
#2. Sleep: sleep and healthy life
#3. Dr. Robert Lustig: All Calories are not born equal.
Really eye opening moments:
12:19- omega 3 fatty acid
39:25 - medical science beaten out nutritional science
1:37:07 hour- how whole fruit sugar is metabolized.
#4. Dr. Robert Lustig: Toxic sugar
#5. Dr. Robert Lustig: Food is medicine
#6. Death by Sugar (and process food): Interview of Dr. Robert Lustig by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee
#7. Mitochondrial dysfunction, Types of fats, insulin resistance. Surprise!!! Sugar is one of many other causes (chemicals, pollutions, radiations, food, etc.)
#8. All about Cholesterol
Understanding Autophagy & Insulin Resistance
Autophagy:
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2016/press-release/
“Autophagy can rapidly provide fuel for energy and building blocks for renewal of cellular components, and is therefore essential for the cellular response to starvation and other types of stress. After infection, autophagy can eliminate invading intracellular bacteria and viruses. Autophagy contributes to embryo development and cell differentiation. Cells also use autophagy to eliminate damaged proteins and organelles, a quality control mechanism that is critical for counteracting the negative consequences of aging.
Disrupted autophagy has been linked to Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and other disorders that appear in the elderly. Mutations in autophagy genes can cause genetic disease. Disturbances in the autophagic machinery have also been linked to cancer. Intense research is now ongoing to develop drugs that can target autophagy in various diseases.”

Insulin resistance:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8319997/#!po=22.4359
“Regardless of the mechanisms, it is clear that upregulating autophagy consistently improves insulin sensitivity (Yang et al., 2010; Pyo et al., 2013; Yamamoto et al., 2018). Therefore, whether deficient autophagy is a cause or consequence of insulin resistance, or if it is in fact deficient in insulin resistance in humans, the therapeutic potential of autophagy induction to help treating insulin resistance and diabetes cannot be overlooked.”
DISCLAIMERS:
I have a disclaimer to tell as I am sharing these scientific resources so that you don’t create blind faith on the speakers and scientists but use your intellect:
“Do not seek for the truth by men’s of men; find first the truth and then you will recognize whose who follow it.”
I agree mostly with the sciences and statistics that Dr. Robert Lustig has shown behind the current health and medical disaster. Especially, the processed food, sugar overdose and ultimately the western diet. However, he and others are missing a big picture of the current materialistic, hyper competitiveness and lack of purpose of life, which is specifically true in the Western hemisphere. Also, his speciality is in the food and medicine but somehow missed the chemical (including plastics) invasion in our day to day life. For example, PFAS is just one officially declared and agreed by FDA and medical experts to cause many diseases that includes, cancer, gastrointestinal disease, hypertension, etc. And that chemical is everywhere in our daily life: paper plates, non-sticky pans, dishwasher detergent, water resistant clothings, carpets, etc. and the list goes on and one. There are other synthetic chemicals that we didn’t even talk and those in thousands. Also, the pesticides, artificial fertilizers, antibiotics, etc. are in our foods. And we never talked about the mobile, radio, microwave, etc. because we didn’t have much research on those. The environmental things can’t be resolved by “real food” alone. This needs a lifestyle change - and as a Muslim I am fully convinced of Islam’s holistic approach of this life and hereafter. I am writing on that now and InshaAllah will share when I finish inshaAllah. Having said all that- please enjoy the above scientific resources.
