The puppy pose on the wall stretches the front of the body and is also an excellent shoulder stretch, and the half down dog removes tension from the upper back and shoulders. Next, I’ll show you an extension exercise that stretches the flexors and the psoas muscles. I also included a standing quad stretch because it’s great for posture.

Salt may be one of the most powerful natural remedies for chronic respiratory conditions. Learn how to reduce respiratory mucus with salt for healthier sinuses, clearer airways, and relief from chronic sinus infections.👉 Get Dr. Berg’s Daily Routine as a free download: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: How to get rid of mucus with salt 0:39 What causes respiratory mucus? 2:47 Reducing mucus with salt 4:17 Vitamin D and respiratory congestion 5:21 How to reduce lung congestion with salt 5:45 How to use a neti pot 7:57 Boiling salt water for respiratory conditions8:36 More tips to reduce respiratory mucus Most people with sinus issues and respiratory mucus have inflammation, but it’s usually not caused by an infection. When you treat chronic respiratory conditions with medication, you suppress the symptoms, causing the problem to linger. Antibiotics will only work if the problem is caused by bacteria, so they won’t be helpful if your congestion is caused by a viral infection, mold, or fungus. Deep inside the sinuses are tiny hairs called cilia. Beneath the cilia are mucus membranes, which are likely inflamed if you have excess mucus. When the body detects a foreign invader, it increases histamines, which create more mucus. Salt creates an osmotic shift, which means it can dehydrate mucus and directly destroy bacteria, mold, yeast, and fungus. It also has a mucolytic effect, so it thins and breaks down mucus directly, making it easier to eliminate.If your sinus problem is chronic, it may be caused by a fungal infection. If it only occurs during the winter months, suspect a vitamin D deficiency. In this case, you may want to try taking 50,000 IU of vitamin D per day, with vitamin K2 and magnesium.There are several ways to reduce mucus with salt. You can use salt water in a neti pot or inhale steam directly from a regular pot after boiling salt water. Use Himalayan sea salt instead of table salt. Garlic oil applied to a Q-tip and swabbed inside each nostril can also be beneficial. Try these other tips to help eliminate chronic respiratory mucus:• Consume 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in water 3 times per day • Inspect your home for mold • Eliminate sugar and starch from your diet • Avoid dairy Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Struggling with weight loss and stubborn belly fat despite a healthy diet and exercise? Discover the best bedtime drink for weight loss to help break a weight loss plateau and lose belly fat faster.👉 Download Dr. Berg’s Daily Routine (FREE): https://drbrg.co/3N7qpx1 0:00 Introduction: Weight loss drinks 0:26 Hormones and weight loss3:08 Insulin and belly fat5:19 Lemon balm tea7:21 The best slim waist tips If you’re on a low-carb diet, exercising regularly, yet still struggling with waist size, this is for you. There are 7 fat-burning hormones that are triggered by factors such as exercise and diet. These hormones are countered by 2 other dominant hormones, cortisol and insulin. In the presence of these two hormones, fat-burning hormones will not work! Cortisol isn’t just a stress hormone! It’s also a fat-storing hormone, specifically at night. If your cortisol is too high at night, you will not burn fat while you’re sleeping.Insulin is a fat-storing hormone that stops fat-burning hormones from working. High cortisol can cause your body to produce glucose, consequently spiking insulin. If you’re struggling with weight loss, especially belly fat, discipline and willpower aren’t the problem. You can’t lose weight while under stress! Lemon balm tea is one of the best weight loss drinks! It contains rosmarinic acid, which increases GABA. To improve the benefits, consume lemon balm tea with 1 scoop of magnesium glycinate powder, 60 minutes before bed. Magnesium glycinate helps lower cortisol levels and also increases GABA and insulin sensitivity. Here are a few other tips to help you lose belly fat:•No snacking•No liquids 90 minutes before bed•Lower carbohydrate intake •Daily walks in the sun•Write down problems before bed to avoid problem-solving/overthinking while trying to sleepDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

The unhealthiest foods spike insulin levels, leading to insulin resistance, which is commonly at the root of chronic illness. Simply put, foods that lower insulin are good, and foods that raise insulin are bad. Here are 7 of the healthiest foods that you should eat every single day: 1. Sauerkraut Raw sauerkraut is a rich source of beneficial microbes and one of the most potent probiotics. It is high in fiber, low in carbs, and has the highest amount of vitamin C of any food. Sauerkraut is rich in glutamine, vitamin K2, vitamin U, and phytonutrients like sulforaphane. 2. Arugula This vegetable is low in oxalates, high in nitric oxide, and supports the endothelial layer of the arteries. 3. Wild-caught salmonWild-caught fatty fish are the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is rich in selenium, which helps bind to mercury and remove it from the body, so you don’t have to worry about mercury when you consume it. 4. Cod liverCod liver has the most omega-3 fatty acids of any food and is a potent source of healthy fat. 5. Hamburger Grass-fed ground beef is one of the best superfoods there is! It’s loaded with B vitamins, zinc, iron, carnosine, creatine, and other essential nutrients. Opt for organic ground beef with a higher fat content for maximum benefits. 6. Brazil nuts Brazil nuts contain the highest amount of selenium of any food, which is essential for healthy thyroid and immune function. Selenium protects the reproductive system and also helps prevent hair loss. 7. Extra-virgin olive oilThis healthy fat helps extract phytonutrients from your salad. It is beneficial for heart and cellular health and has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-clotting properties.Here are 3 bonus superfoods for everyday healthy eating!8. CheeseChoose full-fat, raw, aged cheese. It’s loaded with vitamin K2, CLA, and has benefits from fermentation.9. Dark chocolate/cacao Dark chocolate is rich in polyphenols and magnesium, and also increases nitric oxide levels.10. L. reuteri yogurtMost of the population doesn't get enough L. reuteri.

You can have liver damage for decades without any signs of liver failure. Spotting these 7 early signs of liver disease could save your life. Find out about the signs your liver is dying so you can act before it’s too late.0:00 Introduction: 7 signs your liver is dying0:32 The real cause of liver damage 1:14 7 liver dying symptoms3:05 Right shoulder pain4:06 Itchy skin and liver disease 5:16 Swollen abdomen and liver problems6:57 Reversing liver damage 8:22 How to improve liver health quickly Your liver is the hardest-working organ in your body, and the only major organ that can completely regenerate.Here are 7 liver warning signs that may indicate liver damage before the issue becomes too severe.1. Waking up between 2 and 3 a.m. A dysfunctional liver causes excessive blood sugar swings at night. A steep drop in blood sugar while you’re sleeping spikes adrenaline, which will wake you up.2. Right shoulder painWhen the liver is damaged, bile production slows down, leading to sluggish and clogged bile ducts. This can cause referred pain in the right shoulder. 3. Bruise easilyThe liver makes clotting factors, so if it’s damaged, you may find that you bruise more easily. 4. ItchingItching at night, particularly on the bottom of the feet and other parts of the body, can be caused by excess bile that backs up in the liver. 5. Low tolerance to alcoholPeople with liver problems can not efficiently break down alcohol, which causes more toxicity in the body.6. Fat belly/skinny legs A protruding belly is usually caused by an advanced form of liver damage called ascites, where fluid begins to build up in the abdomen. This is often associated with legs that are skinny due to muscle loss. 7. Brain irritationWhen the liver is damaged, you can’t effectively break down protein, which causes a backup of ammonia. This affects cognitive function and personality, leading to irritability, temper issues, brain fog, and difficulty focusing.You can go from a severely damaged liver to a healthy liver within weeks by avoiding hidden sugars in your diet!Try these 7 tips to improve liver health and reverse liver damage:1. Stop snacking2. Eliminate sugar, starch, and seed oils 3. Eat more high-quality meat and vegetables4. Go to sleep earlier5. Choose organic foods6. Consume cruciferous vegetables7.

We’re living amidst the greatest health scam in history. Find out about the biggest health industry scams shaping everything you do. Uncover the shocking health truth in this video!0:00 Introduction: the biggest health scam ever 0:36 What is food? 2:28 Dietary health misinformation 4:01 Medical fraud 6:01 Ultra-processed foods and disease7:03 More health fraud exposed9:55 Lancet Planetary Health Diet The most significant factor affecting chronic disease is food. Did you know there’s a difference between the biological and legal definitions of food? The legal definition ignores biology, allowing literal poison to be marketed as food.Can you create health with ultra-processed food? No! It’s not sustainable and doesn’t repair tissues in the body. Healthy foods like red meat, saturated fats, and salt have been demonized. Food is often viewed only as a source of calories, making a glass of sugar water and a steak equal. “Balanced diets” are considered healthy, which further allows for the marketing of ultra-processed foods. Fraudulent health claims about food are just the tip of the iceberg. The definition of a drug is “anything intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease.” By this definition, if broccoli can help prevent a disease, it’s a drug. We know that the calories from ultra-processed foods are one of the primary drivers of chronic disease, yet there is no established definition for these foods. RFK Jr. is currently working to change this. The definition of disease has been broadened to include risk factors and pre-disease conditions as diseases. This allows doctors to treat more conditions with drugs. Even the definition of health has been changed to increase the demand for drugs!There’s more. The Lancet Planetary Health Diet attempts to eliminate healthy animal-based foods and replace them with lab-grown meat, plant-based alternatives, and soy protein. It’s argued that we must subsidize these unhealthy foods or people will starve, but why not subsidize real food and support smaller farmers who produce quality products?

Most people don’t find out they have kidney damage until it’s too late. Discover 18 early signs of kidney problems that often occur before the damage is too severe. When it comes to chronic kidney disease, prevention is key.0:00 Introduction: Kidney function explained 2:11 Early kidney damage signs 3:00 Stages of kidney disease 3:48 What destroys kidney health?7:07 18 visible kidney damage signs 10:08 How to prevent kidney diseaseHealthy kidneys are imperative to your overall health. The kidneys are situated deep within the rib cage, and have your adrenal glands on top. Each filtering unit of the kidney, called a nephron, contains a highly concentrated network of capillaries. There are 1 million nephrons in each kidney! This number often decreases with age, although it typically does not cause many symptoms. Kidneys are very good at compensating, even if they’re 50% damaged. One of the earliest kidney health warning signs is protein in the urine. At-home urine tests detect the albumin-creatinine ratio, which you want to keep below 30 mg/g. The stages of chronic kidney disease are associated with specific percentages of nephron loss:Stage 2: 20% loss Stage 3: 60% lossStage 4: 85% lossStage 6: 95% lossThe good news is that if you catch kidney disease in time, it can be reversed. The following factors often cause kidney disease: •Ultra-processed foods •PFAS•Insulin resistance •Medications•Low vitamin D •Low magnesium •Low omega-3s •Poor sleep Here are 18 early signs of kidney disease:1.
