Today we return to Verywell Health, aka., VeryBad Health if you actually were to follow their diabolical advice on nutrition, or more to the point, “Verywell Dead,” as you’ll likely feel like a walking dead and actually die a lot sooner.
This time they covered a backwards, and frankly put, useless study, exploring the relationship between exercise and insulin in the brain and the risk of developing dementia. Let’s see what they came up with.
“Dementia, a term for several diseases that impair memory and cognition, is currently the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. Every year, around 10 million new cases of dementia are diagnosed globally—one every 3 seconds. Along with age, factors like high blood pressure and high blood sugar have been found to increase the likelihood of developing dementia.”
Dementia is not a “disease,” it’s the result of damage and/or toxicity, and or nutrient deficiencies from following a very bad and unhealthy diet, as well as exposure to environmental toxins and the inability to detox properly (due to that bad and nutrient deficient diet.)
The damage is mainly caused by elevated blood glucose from consuming carbohydrates, as well as oxidative damage from unsaturated fats (as in seed/vegetable oils,) from toxic buildup, and in some cases from high blood pressure, as it can damage blood vessels in the brain.
Also, dementia can not be the “seventh leading cause of death worldwide” as it is a symptom, a result of one or several underlying causes/conditions such as toxemia, chronic elevated blood glucose, and/or nutrient deficiencies. It’s those underlying offenders that are the cause of death, not dementia itself. Again, very simple logic and common sense.
“Think of your muscles like a dry sponge, said Steven K. Malin, PhD, one of the study researchers at Rutgers University. If you don’t exercise, your muscles become rigid, making it harder for insulin to do its job. But when you do move, you’re squeezing and softening that sponge, making the body more responsive to insulin, he said.”
Is this Steven some random guy Verywell Health picked up at the queue at McDonalds? Muscles do not become rigid, they become oversaturated with glucose if you’re so stupid that you consume carbohydrates several times a day. As glucose is very damaging to the cells, they become more and more damaged as time goes on, especially if you do not enter a fasted state during sleep (as in eating close to bedtime) or do not have long periods of being in a fasted state inducing autophagy where cells can be recycled and renewed — or simply long times of being in ketosis, only consuming fat, so our natural metabolism can be reactivated and your cells can heal and become more forgiving of glucose again.
It has nothing to do with insulin, which is simply a hormone telling your cells to open up as there is an abundance of glucose available. It has all to do with the accumulated damage from increasing blood glucose, as in consuming carbohydrates, which over time will limit the cell’s ability to store glucose or even stop it from doing so.
Of course, exercising, as in using your body for physical work, will require energy, and some of that toxic glucose readily available in your bloodstream and stored in your muscle cells will be used by your muscles, giving room for more glucose to be stored as glycogen in cells. But that is simply a retarded band-aid as it does not address the problem, that of carbohydrates in the diet.
I’ve covered this in many articles and for more on the topic, and if this is new to you, please read my articles “Carbohydrates are NOT our body’s preferred fuel,” “No! You Should Not ‘Eat’ Carbs Ever!,” “Insulin, Glucose Toxicity, And Fat Loss,” “It’s Not Diabetes-Related Complications, It’s Carbohydrate-Related Health Complications,” and “Carbohydrate Cravings In Depression Because Of A Broken Metabolism (Explaining The Importance Of A Natural Human Diet),” before continuing.
“So, finding ways to reduce insulin resistance in the body may be a way to prevent dementia.”
Oh, you imbecile! No, “insulin resistance” is a construct, it’s not real — and the ignorant name and idea divert and hide the real problem. The problem is damage from consuming carbohydrates and repeatedly elevating blood glucose above natural levels, as too much blood glucose damages our organs, soft tissues, and also our brain. And of course ,another contributing factor is inorganic non-bioavailable unsaturated fats from seed/vegetable oils, as they damage the same tissues, especially the tissues of the cardiovascular system.
In other words, the solution is extremely simple: remove the offenders, remove the carbohydrates and the seed oils from the diet and then make sure to get really nutritious food, as in animal-based food, so you provide all the nutrients needed for the body and brain to heal. Simple. Logical. Common sense.
Why Is Exercise Linked To a Lower Risk of Dementia?
“The study found that exercise helps the brain regulate insulin, directly improving cognitive function. Researchers followed 21 older adults with prediabetes who completed 12 supervised moderate to high-intensity exercise sessions over two weeks.”
The brain does not really “regulate” insulin. The human body regulates insulin production through a series of steps involving monitoring of glucose levels and other metabolic signals. Beta cells in the pancreas, which are part of the islets of Langerhans, are responsible for insulin synthesis. These cells regulate insulin production by monitoring glucose levels, amino acids, keto acids, and fatty acids circulating within the plasma.
When a healthy human is running on our natural fat metabolism, as in being in ketosis from only consuming animal fats and protein, glucose is supplied through gluconeogenesis in perfect amounts for any scenario. If you are physical, more glucose is rapidly provided, many times faster than you could get it by consuming any kind of “fast-acting” carb, making our fat metabolism far superior to those consuming carbohydrates and only relying on exogenous glucose.
With that being said, no matter the scenario, when running on our natural fat metabolism, blood glucose levels are always kept constant at a safe level. Hence, there is never a risk of damage to tissues, which only happens if you for some reason consume carbohydrates and thus mess up your metabolism by raising blood glucose above its natural levels.
So, again, in people who have been deceived into consuming carbohydrates, exercise simply uses up some of that toxic glucose as energy, making more room for additional glucose to be stored, and thus lowering the toxic load on the body and also on the brain. Insulin is simply the messenger, telling cells that there is an abundance of glucose and that they need to store it or you would die from toxicity. However, as cells get damaged from continuous long-time exposure to elevated levels of glucose, they lose their ability to store as much glucose as previously, and some cells might even shut down, simply refusing to store more glucose as it would kill the cell. That is what retarded “scientists” call “insulin resistance.” But it has nothing to do with insulin, it has all to do with the accumulated damage from consuming the wrong kind of foods, as in carbohydrates and also seed/vegetable oils that cause similar oxidative damage to all our cells.
So, sure, exercise will lessen the toxic burden as long as you do not increase the amount of carbohydrates in the diet. However, again, that is only a very retarded band-aid as damage is still being done, only at a reduced pace. Also, exercise doesn’t help with any possible nutrient deficiencies. Actually, exercise will further deplete you of nutrients as they will be required for recovery. And we know that nutrient deficiencies contribute to dementia and most other “ailments,” so this idea of adding in a lot of exercise without adding animal foods to the diet could actually backfire.
So, again, remove the offenders, remove the carbohydrates and the seed/vegetable oils.
“The first-of-its-kind finding pointed to a significant increase in brain-derived extracellular vesicles that carry insulin-related proteins. These tiny messengers help neurons communicate and play a crucial role in maintaining the brain.”
First-of-its-kind finding? Give me a break! This is simple biochemistry, it’s common sense. Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized, membranous structures that carry various cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which can be transferred to neighboring cells. In the context of insulin-related proteins, brain-derived EVs have been shown to carry and transfer proteins that are involved in insulin signaling pathways.
If you bombard your body with carbohydrates and have repeatedly elevated glucose levels, cells will eventually begin to shut down and insulin can’t do its job. If you suddenly start exercising and perhaps even lower your intake of carbohydrates, blood glucose levels will be reduced and your cells might be able to handle the remaining excess glucose. And as the brain is no longer oversaturated with toxic glucose, brain cells are once again opening up and EV activity can increase.
“A poor response to insulin can lead to dementia, so the idea that exercise can help prevent this by possibly boosting insulin signaling is significant, Malin said. While more research is needed, these findings reinforce the idea that physical activity could be an accessible, low-cost way to support long-term brain health.”
No, not a poor response to insulin, but the damage caused by too much blood glucose and other toxins from poor food choices. And again, simply remove the offender, remove the carbohydrates and the seed/vegetable oils.
Using exercise as a crutch is retarded as the diet is most probable still poor and causing a lot of damage, and likely contributing to nutrient deficiencies. Remember, another very common cause of all mental problems, including dementia, is the lack of saturated fats, and especially cholesterol, animal-derived omega-3’s, and B Vitamins in the diet. Nutrients only found in animal foods. Your brain is made of cholesterol and omega-3’s are crucial for its proper functioning, including healing and tissue repair.
So, by removing the offender, the toxic carbohydrates and seed/vegetable oils, and replacing them with animal-based foods, as in animal-fat and some animal-protein, you will not only remove the offender, but you will also provide all the nutrients needed for optimal brain function and healing. A logical win-win. Common sense.
“The future of dementia prevention will likely include a combination of lifestyle interventions, such as exercise, and medications, to have the most profound effect, Langbaum added.”
Exercise and medication? Talk about not giving a single f**k about people and their health, life quality and life expectancy. The only lifestyle intervention needed is that of the diet. Educate people in proper natural human nutrition. The fact that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, and every single ailment will eventually fix itself.
These evildoers and charlatans should be behind bars.
