I can’t entirely accept that I had an unhealthy lifestyle when I was a small child, when IBD was a problem for me.
The Fodmap diet works very well. Mostly it limits certain vegetables and sugar. Sort.of.tne opposite of this report.
Thanks again for posting a timely article. I have UC, which was partially responsible for me needing a new liver.
My diet clearly needs some fine tuning…
Bkmk.
Speaking from personal experience... I have never had inflammatory bowel disease. I drink, smoke and generally lead a very unhealthy lifestyle.
My doctor, who I see regularly explained to me that my type 2 diabetes diagnosis, which surprised me because I am not overweight and eat no sugary foods, is likely a result of my genes. In fact, he said that most health problems actually occur because of your genes, and that there isn’t much you can do to change that.
I then had my DNA analysed and discovered that I have a gene that indicates that I am prone to diabetes... Go figure.
So if want to lead a ‘healthy’ lifestyle... Feel free do do so... But if your DNA says that you will likely suffer from inflammatory bowl disease... Well then... Good luck with that healthy lifestyle.
>> daily intake of fruit, fiber, vegetables, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and red meat.
a generality that warrants many exceptions
The absence of popular carbs is a good thing.
Everyone with gastrological system disorders I interviewed when I was doing outreach for my book had one thing in common which is not mentioned here:
Alcohol.
Bottom line: If healthy eating/lifestyle was panacea, there would be no problem.
But there is a problem, and it is enabled by the prolific disbursement of grants for useless research.
In the last year, I have read a half dozen studies about fasting and adult-onset diabetes.
Fasting just one day per week produces quantifiable improvements in blood sugar levels and natural insulin potency.
Fasting two days a week pushes your blood sugar back into the normal range.
This is not unexpected. For almost 200,000 years, humans would gorge on food just once or twice a week, and then eat sparingly or not at all during the rest of the week.
Eating three meals every day has been the custom (and economically possible) for only the last 200 years.
Also, diet and exercise appear to be overrated Type 2 diabetes treatments when compared to regularly scheduled 24 hour fasts.
Let me guess, no red meat, no sugar and daily exercise. As long as everything is fried, cooked or prepared wit seed oils… there is gonna be a whole lot of oxidizing going on.
By all means, more nuts in one's diet are good as gold. Especially if you're not jazzed about vegetables, or you suffer from chronic munchies. Keep a jar of peanuts, walnuts, pecans or whatever, handy at all times, and go for it when you get a yen for a candy bar or donut. They're loaded with good stuff!
Type 2 diabetes is nearly 100% due to processed foods. Don’t overthink it.
Given all the estimates of models of inferred values, wouldn’t be easier to say they pulled this out of their ...?
