Famous David Perlmutter Quotes

“Sadece hareket etmek beyniniz için herhangi bir bulmacadan, matematik denkleminden,macera kitabından, hatta düşünmekten daha yararlıdır. Aerobik egzersizler sadece ömrü uzatmakla kalmaz, beynin "büyüme hormonu" olan BDNF'yi kodlayan genleri de harekete geçirir. Aerobik egzersizlerin yaşlılarda hafıza gerilemesini tersine çevirdiği ve beynin hafıza merkezinde yeni beyin hücrelerinin oluşumu artırdığı gözlemlenmiştir.”

“It’s now generally accepted that Mesmer was actually treating psychosomatic illness, and he profited mightily from people’s gullibility. In retrospect, his theories and practices sound ridiculous, but in truth, the story of Mesmer parallels many stories of today. It’s not so ridiculous to imagine people falling prey to products, procedures, and health claims that are brilliantly marketed. Every day we hear of some news item related to health. We are bombarded by messages about our health — good, bad, and confusingly contradictory. And we are literally mesmerized by these messages. Even the smart, educated, cautious, and skeptical consumer is mesmerized. It’s hard to separate truth from fiction, and to know the difference between what’s healthful and harmful when the information and endorsements come from “experts.”

“Consuming artificially sweetened diet drinks can heighten the risk of diabetes via disbiosis. Some studies show a doubling of the risk via drinking two diet beverages a day.”

“In 2017, The Journal Stroke, released a bombshell paper that revealed the risk for stroke, Alzheimer’s, & dementia in general among people who drank artificially sweetened drinks. What they found was quite remarkable. Participants who drank 1 or more artificially sweetened drinks per day had almost 3x the risk of stroke & 3x the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Within the context of uric acid specifically; here’s what to keep in mind. It’s important to avoid anything that interferes with your body’s ability to break down & filter toxins & that includes sugar substitutes.”

“What you eat & when you eat matter, but so does what order you eat your foods in. Never eat what Dr. Casey Means calls, “naked carbohydrates.” Carbs without any accompanying fat, protein, or fiber. Research has shown that when carbohydrates are eaten first in the meal before any protein or fat the glucose response is often higher than it is when those carbs are eaten later in the meal. One study showed that when vegetable & chicken are consumed 15 mins before carbohydrates, in this study, ciabatta & orange juice, glucose levels after the meal were decreased 27% after 30 minutes & almost 37% after 60 minutes. Moreover, insulin levels 1 & 2 hours after the meal were significantly lower when protein & vegetables were eaten before the carbohydrates. Combining fat & carbs can also help offset the glucose spike from the carbs. A simple toss of a few raw nuts can have a dramatic response on the way your body responds.”

“In a study in which people were given white bread with almonds; their glucose spikes afterward were significantly lower than when the white bread was eaten alone. In addition, the more almonds the participants ate the more their glucose was reduced & In insulin resistant individuals high amounts of fiber are shown to be associated not only with reduced post glucose spikes & insulin levels but also with reduced spikes in variability.”

“Eat your vegetables. Brush your teeth. Sweat once in a while. Get plenty of rest. Don't smoke. Laugh more. There are certain tenets to health that are pretty commonsensical and that we all know we should practice routinely.”

“The origin of brain disease is in many cases predominantly dietary. Although several factors play into the genesis and progression of brain disorders, to a large extent numerous neurological afflictions often reflect the mistake of consuming too many carbs and too few healthy fats.”

“Researchers have known for some time now that the cornerstone of all degenerative conditions, including brain disorders, is inflammation. But what they didn’t have documented until now are the instigators of that inflammation—the first missteps that prompt this deadly reaction. And what they are finding is that gluten, and a high-carbohydrate diet for that matter, are among the most prominent stimulators of inflammatory pathways that reach the brain.”

“Archives of Internal Medicine revealed that postmenopausal women who were put on statin drugs to lower their cholesterol had a nearly 48 percent increased risk of developing diabetes compared to those who weren’t given the drug.”
