As soon as you hear any loud ringing, press your thumb behind and below your ear upwards to close off the ear canal.

If the tinnitus hasn’t progressed too far, it should help.

(Release once the worst of the the ringing has subsided.)

If you know for certain the people there are illegal aliens, then do a quick Internet search for the phone number to report them, and act.

(But do remember not all people who look Hispanic, South American, or Native Indian are illegal aliens!)

(But business owners intentionally breaking the law in the first place is also illegal.)

Hey, I didn’t write or endorse that part. ;-)

Still, from a strictly biological and rational point of view, I _suppose_ it would be healthier if one can stomach it.

I agree with the elimination of seed oils (use extra virgin olive oil instead), and avoiding ultra-processed foods.

You can reduce how rapidly your sugar spikes by eating food items high in fiber FIRST during your meal - the order matters significantly!

Brocolli, cauliflower, peas, beans, okra, spinach, etc... If you eat those first, then any protein, then finally carbs last of all (in moderation!), you will notice a real difference in your blood sugar readings: much lower spikes, but longer duration - which is beneficial.

Exercise: try weight lifting three times a week - because it may help you convert more of your body mass to muscle. It certainly cannot make things worse unless you injure yourself.

Larger muscle mass will continuously burn calories throughout the day - and will reduce the amount of blood sugar that the liver and pancreas must deal with. Stronger leg muscles can surprisingly help reduce sugar spikes. If for some reason you cannot safely lift weights, walking daily can help a little. Please be prepared to keep exercising regularly for years as part of the rest of your life.

Cut out all soft drinks. You can probably keep drinking tea or coffee - possibly with some sugar - but remove EVERYTHING with high-fructose corn syrup. This is VITALLY important!

Pastas should be minimized. Try not to eat a lot of anything right before you head to sleep. Increase the amount of water you drink. Also, try to get vitamin D - preferably via sunshine, but any way is better than nothing. Vitamin D3 can also be found in small amounts in certain foods, such as fatty fish, cod liver oil, beef liver, and egg yolks.

Try a small increase in the amount of fat you eat and reduce the carbohydrates.

I hope this helps.
