The need for distance lenses has more to do with how much outdoor time you have and not staring at a screen for hours at a time. No matter your diet or supps you can regain distance vision through this. So we need to be careful ascribing vision acuity to vitamin A.

RE: Can Someone Explain What Cholesterol Values Should REALLY Be?
@yerrag Thanks for your reply!
Well you made it pretty far with that high of blood pressure! But the heart failure is definitely no bueno!I've seen that blood pressure is a measure of hydration status. How many electrolytes there are. Have you ever tried drinking say 2-3 liters of water in a day and seeing what that does to your blood pressure? For my husband he never went above 150/90, but he always drinks lots of water.

RE: Can Someone Explain What Cholesterol Values Should REALLY Be?
@yerrag Thanks for the review. I'm glad to see you are still around! I know you dealt with high blood pressure so it's nice to see it not being a death sentence. What age group are you in? (of course the older you get the higher the likelihood of death! )
Yeah I was not pro-low carb, but.... my husband went carnivore after having clear signs of metabolic syndrome and he is losing a significant amount of weight. It is showing signs of harming his health though. But his liver has had to process all that fat which a lot of it was likely loaded with toxins. All without any bile acid binders. He is going to add back in carbs once he gets to a better weight. Unfortunately this will likely cause high blood sugar as he is now used to burning ketones.
I agree that we need cholesterol. I don't agree with using statins. I did not know what actually causes a heart attack or stroke, so I thought the video was useful in understanding what causes death in the vast majority of people in the world (including Ray Peat!).
My cholesterol numbers were getting pretty bad on a lot of ice cream. I am doing better now with less saturated fat and sugar and more starches and fibers. Which is also reversing a longstanding patch of psoriasis.

RE: Can Someone Explain What Cholesterol Values Should REALLY Be?
@sweetwaterpickle From what I know low cholesterol in someone with metabolic syndrome indicates liver problems, lack of bile. My husband was like this leading up to his obesity problems. You have to earn a low cholesterol number with good health.
Trigs over 110 indicate fatty liver.
You want trigs divided by HDL to be 2 or under.
If he is eating a lot of carbs and fats together this will cause bad cholesterol numbers.This guy's videos have been super informative. I learned that strokes and heart attacks are caused by unstable uncalcified plaques: https://youtu.be/yYLym9PiJtA?si=DJqD3VtIk63KESRy
He goes over how he stabilized his plaques (we all have plaques when we get old, you want to stabilize them).

RE: "Glucose Loading" protocol, a la Dr Stephens - A Critique
@LetTheRedeemed said in "Glucose Loading" protocol, a la Dr Stephens - A Critique:
@Janelle525 yes. I’m definitely at the pinnacle of my salt intake, haha.
I lowered my sugar consumption, or at least balanced it with spreading out my protein intake, and the headaches went away. That was a while ago. And I definitely still consume quite a bit of sugar: several sodas/juice/sweat teas per day, plus spoonfuls of honey with milk, and ice cream. I’ve definitely found my max sugar capacity
Haha okay!

How about Vitamin A? -
RE: Low water intake actually helps
I definitely don't like drinking too much water because I get lightheaded. Salt was the answer for me. Completely stopped a headache yesterday.

@LetTheRedeemed Have you tried salt for the headaches?
