Cold Plunge vs Sauna Benefits: How Men and Women Respond Differently

Heat therapy similarly improves endothelial function through the activity of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that dilates vessels to reduce blood pressure, as well as promotes the formation of new blood vessels. Heat increases NO availability by stimulating NO synthase, an enzyme that produces NO in the endothelium.6,7 Chronic heat therapy has also been shown to increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and enhance angiogenesis.

These oils, often misleadingly labeled as healthy vegetable oils, wreak havoc on mitochondrial function. Consuming excessive amounts overloads your cells with harmful fats, crippling their ability to produce ATP. Safe alternatives include coconut oil, ghee, and beef tallow. Eating out poses a significant challenge for those striving to avoid seed oils like canola and soybean oil. One practical tip when you dine at a restaurant is to inform the server that you have a severe allergy to seed oils.

I am reminded of Dr. Ames and his Ames mutagenicity tests. He showed how toxic industrial chemicals were. Then he started testing natural chemicals that flavor good natural food. He found found many of them to be far more toxic than industrial chemicals. Why? Because plants fight for dominance using biochemistry. We like those flavors, sometimes use them to improve our gut ecology, and handle them very well via our liver and pancreas.

As for microplastics, we eat far more micro dirt, micro-silica in plant leaves (lettuce, cabbage, celery, etc.) and trapped in roots (carrots, rutabagas, etc.). Not to mention the toxins of Garlic and Onions! When I made garlic and red onion soup as therapy against yeast overgrowth, ants would stay away from my apartment for five days. (Insurance salesmen, a little longer.)
