Do you control your food intake?<\/h2>\n\n
It\u2019s convenient to get food from restaurants, markets, or delivered by PrimeNow, Walmart+, DoorDash, GrubHub, Uber Eats, Postmates, Instacart, Zomato, etc. But that means losign control of what levels of sodium, sugar, and unhealthy chemicals<\/strong> we consume. We are also at the mercy of waiting for trucks from UPS, FedEx, and USPS trucks to deliver packages.<\/p>\n\nFoods from covenience stores and markets are manufactured for shelf life, which means unhealthy levels of salt, sugar, and other presevatives.<\/p>\n\n
Food apps<\/h2>\n\n
Open Food Facts.org<\/a> is a free app to scan a UPC code to discover & compare over 3 million food products.\nProvides Nutri-score of healthiness and impact on planet.\nFor Android and iOS, crafted with Flutter and Dart and open-sourced at https:\/\/github.com\/openfoodfacts\/smooth-app\nSince 2012.\nDocs at https:\/\/openfoodfacts.github.io\/smooth-app\/<\/p>\n\nFor $100\/year, prepear.com<\/a>\npresents a tagline \u201cDeals to Meals\u201d which covers the entire workflow of eating:<\/p>\n\n - Identify money-saving deals<\/li>\n
- Design meals based on those deals<\/li>\n
- Structure how to prepare those meals.\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n\nPurines, Uric Acid, and Gout<\/h2>\n\n
Red meats, organ meats, shellfish, sardines, aged cheese, yeast, alcohol (especially beer), and sugary drinks\/fructos contain purines<\/strong>. Purines are absorbed in the gut and enter the bloodstream as nucleotides and bases, which are then further broken down in the liver.\nUric acid<\/strong> is carried in the blood to the kidneys, which filters it out in urine.<\/p>\n\nUric acid levels can also rise when taking diuretics (\u201cwater pills\u201d), low\u2011dose aspirin, some blood pressure drugs, and anti\u2011rejection drugs after transplants.<\/p>\n\n
If too much uric acid is created or kidneys do not clear enough of it, uric acid builds up (hyperuricemia) and forms needle\u2011like monosodium urate crystals in joints, causing gout attacks (often in the big toe). Dehydration can also trigger gout attacks.<\/p>\n

Minerals<\/h2>\n\n
Magnesium maintains nerve and muscle function, a healthy immune system and strong bones.\nIn Blood tests for Magnesium, the normal range is 1.6 to 2.6 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n
Iron makes hemoglobin for healthy red blood cells, from red beans, liver (high in colesterol), ???<\/p>\n\n
Phospherous<\/p>\n\n
Calcium & PTH Testing<\/h2>\n\n
Sources of calcium are dairy, fortified orange juice, antacids, green leafy vegetables, oats, sweet potatoes, almonds. Almonds also help to stimulate acetylcholine production, which helps the neurons in the brain effectively communicate.<\/p>\n\n
The \u201cPTH, Intact\u201d blood test (CPT code 35202) measures the full (not just fragment) intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) circulating in blood made by the parathyroid glands in the neck (in the back of the thyroid), which help regulate calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the body. Although their names are similar, the parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland are not related.<\/p>\n\n
Normal PTH range is 18.4 to 80.1 picograms per milliliter (pg\/mL).<\/p>\n\n
Install the free Calcium Pro app<\/a> (by \u201cCalcium Science\u201d) on iPhone<\/a> or Android.\nDeveloped by Normn Center<\/a> in Tampa, Florida. It explains the interaction of Calcium, PTH, Vitamin D, bone density, etc.<\/p>\n\n - PTH triggers the release of small amounts of calcium from your bones into your bloodstream.<\/li>\n
- PTH enables the production of active vitamin D (calcitriol) in the kidneys. PTH also signal kidneys to keep calcium in the body rather than flushing it out through your pee.<\/li>\n
- PTH signals small intestine to absorb more calcium from food eaten.\n
\nThe test identifies parathyroid disorders such as severe osteoporosis, or mineral\/bone disorders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nHyperparathyroidism (too high) can indicate not enough Vitamin D or chronic kidney disease (which cause the parathyroid glands to become overactive).<\/p>\n\n
Symptoms of hyperparathyroidism include bone and joint pain, constipation, nausea, vomiting, kidney stones, lack of appetite, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n
Hypoparathyroidism (too low) can be from excessive calcium or Vitamin D intake.<\/p>\n\n

<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/a><\/p>\n\nSodium<\/h3>\n\n
Food labels percentages are based on 2300mg (one teaspoon)<\/strong> of Sodium as the recommended consumption per day.<\/p>\n\nCAUTION: Many products (such a bullion) sold as \u201cLow Sodium\u201d merely replace sodium with Potassium.<\/p>\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\nPotassium<\/h3>\n\n
kidney.com notes that I can protect my kidneys by watching how much I consume potassium, which affects blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n
A potassium level of 5 or higher detected in the blood, called hyperkalemia,\nmeans the kidneys are not able to remove excess potassium. That can cause irregular heartbeat or a heart attack.<\/p>\n\n
REMEMBER: 5175 mg\/day<\/strong> is the basis for percentages of daily on US food labels. 1 Potassium point<\/a> = 39mg for 132 points\/day<\/strong>. So if a 168g persimmon has 270mg, \/39 = 7 points (like a mango, 4 prunes, or a cup of blackberries).<\/p>\n\nPROTIP: Avoid what are high in potassium: red meats<\/a>, dairy, black tea, coffee, molassas, coconut, tomatos, bananas, mushrooms, spinach, all nuts, etc. Substitutes:<\/p>\n\n - Instead of red meats (beef), eat eggs, chicken, turkey, vegetarian dishes\n

Canning, Leaching out potassium<\/h3>\n\n
Reduce the potassium in spinich and carrots by leaching the vegetables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nCanned or cooked mushrooms (generic) typically have around 100-277 mg per 1\/2 cup. CAUTION: Dried and cooked mushrooms are higher potassium per serving because water is lost and weight decreases, concentrating the minerals. Maitake mushrooms have 204 mg per 100 grams fresh to an extremely high 2625 mg per 105 grams dried.<\/p>\n\n
American supermarkets such as Walmart and Albertsons display isles and isles of packages from the industrial food complex of over-processed food.<\/p>\n\n

Cooking eggs<\/h3>\n\n
To cook hard-boiled eggs, steam them<\/a> ensures uniform cooking, preventing rubbery whites. Using a steamer removes the guesswork of timing that comes with boiling. In a steamer basket, cover, and cook 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled<\/strong>. Alternative: air fryer 8 - 12 eggs at 275 for 12 mins.<\/p>\n\nRapid cooling in an ice bath halts the cooking process, preserving the ideal texture and preventing overcooking.<\/p>\n\n
Remove shell under a thin stream of running water. (The water helps get under the shell and lift it off the egg.)<\/p>\n\n
Dairy<\/h2>\n\n

Our bodies convert carbohydrates to sugar.<\/p>\n\n
The \u201cHemoglobin A1C (HbA1c)\u201d blood test at a doctor\u2019s lab measures the average (over the past 2 to 3 months) blood sugar (glucose) based on the percentage of glycated hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) that is coated with sugar.<\/p>\n\n
\n - Normal: below 5.7%<\/li>\n
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%<\/li>\n
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nA1C of 7% roughly corresponds to an average blood sugar level of 154 mg\/dL (8.6 mmol\/L).<\/p>\n\n
Our pancreas produces insulin that travels through our blood to break down sugar. \nType 1 Diabetes is when the pancreas does not make enough insulin. \nThose with Type 1 Diabetes need to take insulin several times during the day.\nThere are different ways to take insulin: via a needle and syringe, an insulin pen, or an insulin pump (also called an automated insulin delivery system) device.<\/p>\n\n
People with Type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose level by consuming healthy meals and beverages, limiting calories if they have overweight or obesity, and physical activity (150 minutes, each week).<\/p>\n\n
Those with type 2 diabetes need to take diabetes medicines which include diabetes pills or medicines you inject, such as insulin. Over time, you may need more than one diabetes medicine to control your blood glucose level. Even if you do not take insulin, you may need it at special times, such as if you are pregnant or if yoxu are in the hospital for treatment.\nx\nTxhe glucose test at the doctor\u2019s office identified a calibrated level that is 10 points above<\/strong> what my Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) reported at the same time. Costco carries Dexcom<\/a> (Stelo) by prescription. It needs to be changed every 15 days.<\/p>\n\nAfter you identify a baseline \u2013 about 104 mg\/dL (milligrams per deciliter)after fasting (waking up after 8 hours sleep), I\u2019m realy at 94 mg\/dL, which is within normal glucose levels for a healthy adult of between 70 and 99 mg\/dL. A fasting level higher than 126 mg\/dL suggests diabetes.<\/p>\n\n
The Stelo CGM issues a notification to my phone above a set threshold. That enables me to see to what level different foods spike my blood glucose level:<\/p>\n\n
\n - A can of water-washed peaches took me to 140<\/strong> mg\/dL.\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSustained high readings above 140 to 199 mg\/dL (7.8 mmol\/L and 11.0 mmol\/L) suggests prediabetes. Levels above 200 mg\/dL or 11.1 mmol\/L (millimoles per liter) suggests diabetes. *<\/a><\/p>\n\nNormally, two hours after eating, levels should be back to baseline.<\/p>\n\n
REMEMBER: Eating protein before sugar intake and exercise after eating helps to reduce levels.<\/p>\n\n
The pancreas does not differentiate between natural vs. artificial sugar (Sucralose).<\/p>\n\n

Dash Diet<\/h2>\n\n
They say blood pressure is low by eating lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Look for foods that don\u2019t have much fat or cholesterol. This approach has a name: the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. It includes lean meats, poultry, fish, and nuts. It\u2019s also high in protein and fiber and avoids sugary drinks, sweets, and red meats.<\/p>\n\n

Uric acid levels can also rise when taking diuretics (\u201cwater pills\u201d), low\u2011dose aspirin, some blood pressure drugs, and anti\u2011rejection drugs after transplants.<\/p>\n\n
If too much uric acid is created or kidneys do not clear enough of it, uric acid builds up (hyperuricemia) and forms needle\u2011like monosodium urate crystals in joints, causing gout attacks (often in the big toe). Dehydration can also trigger gout attacks.<\/p>\n

Minerals<\/h2>\n\n
Magnesium maintains nerve and muscle function, a healthy immune system and strong bones.\nIn Blood tests for Magnesium, the normal range is 1.6 to 2.6 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n

Calcium & PTH Testing<\/h2>\n\n
Sources of calcium are dairy, fortified orange juice, antacids, green leafy vegetables, oats, sweet potatoes, almonds. Almonds also help to stimulate acetylcholine production, which helps the neurons in the brain effectively communicate.<\/p>\n\n
The \u201cPTH, Intact\u201d blood test (CPT code 35202) measures the full (not just fragment) intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) circulating in blood made by the parathyroid glands in the neck (in the back of the thyroid), which help regulate calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the body. Although their names are similar, the parathyroid glands and the thyroid gland are not related.<\/p>\n\n
Normal PTH range is 18.4 to 80.1 picograms per milliliter (pg\/mL).<\/p>\n\n
Install the free Calcium Pro app<\/a> (by \u201cCalcium Science\u201d) on iPhone<\/a> or Android.\nDeveloped by Normn Center<\/a> in Tampa, Florida. It explains the interaction of Calcium, PTH, Vitamin D, bone density, etc.<\/p>\n
- \n
- PTH triggers the release of small amounts of calcium from your bones into your bloodstream.<\/li>\n
- PTH enables the production of active vitamin D (calcitriol) in the kidneys. PTH also signal kidneys to keep calcium in the body rather than flushing it out through your pee.<\/li>\n
- PTH signals small intestine to absorb more calcium from food eaten.\n
\nThe test identifies parathyroid disorders such as severe osteoporosis, or mineral\/bone disorders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nHyperparathyroidism (too high) can indicate not enough Vitamin D or chronic kidney disease (which cause the parathyroid glands to become overactive).<\/p>\n\n
Symptoms of hyperparathyroidism include bone and joint pain, constipation, nausea, vomiting, kidney stones, lack of appetite, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n
Hypoparathyroidism (too low) can be from excessive calcium or Vitamin D intake.<\/p>\n\n

Sodium<\/h3>\n\n
Food labels percentages are based on 2300mg (one teaspoon)<\/strong> of Sodium as the recommended consumption per day.<\/p>\n\n
CAUTION: Many products (such a bullion) sold as \u201cLow Sodium\u201d merely replace sodium with Potassium.<\/p>\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\n
Potassium<\/h3>\n\n
kidney.com notes that I can protect my kidneys by watching how much I consume potassium, which affects blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n
A potassium level of 5 or higher detected in the blood, called hyperkalemia,\nmeans the kidneys are not able to remove excess potassium. That can cause irregular heartbeat or a heart attack.<\/p>\n\n
REMEMBER: 5175 mg\/day<\/strong> is the basis for percentages of daily on US food labels. 1 Potassium point<\/a> = 39mg for 132 points\/day<\/strong>. So if a 168g persimmon has 270mg, \/39 = 7 points (like a mango, 4 prunes, or a cup of blackberries).<\/p>\n\n
PROTIP: Avoid what are high in potassium: red meats<\/a>, dairy, black tea, coffee, molassas, coconut, tomatos, bananas, mushrooms, spinach, all nuts, etc. Substitutes:<\/p>\n

Canning, Leaching out potassium<\/h3>\n\n
Reduce the potassium in spinich and carrots by leaching the vegetables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
Canned or cooked mushrooms (generic) typically have around 100-277 mg per 1\/2 cup. CAUTION: Dried and cooked mushrooms are higher potassium per serving because water is lost and weight decreases, concentrating the minerals. Maitake mushrooms have 204 mg per 100 grams fresh to an extremely high 2625 mg per 105 grams dried.<\/p>\n\n
American supermarkets such as Walmart and Albertsons display isles and isles of packages from the industrial food complex of over-processed food.<\/p>\n\n

Cooking eggs<\/h3>\n\n
To cook hard-boiled eggs, steam them<\/a> ensures uniform cooking, preventing rubbery whites. Using a steamer removes the guesswork of timing that comes with boiling. In a steamer basket, cover, and cook 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled<\/strong>. Alternative: air fryer 8 - 12 eggs at 275 for 12 mins.<\/p>\n\n
Rapid cooling in an ice bath halts the cooking process, preserving the ideal texture and preventing overcooking.<\/p>\n\n
Remove shell under a thin stream of running water. (The water helps get under the shell and lift it off the egg.)<\/p>\n\n

Sugar & Carbs: Glucose<\/h2>\n\n
Our bodies convert carbohydrates to sugar.<\/p>\n\n
The \u201cHemoglobin A1C (HbA1c)\u201d blood test at a doctor\u2019s lab measures the average (over the past 2 to 3 months) blood sugar (glucose) based on the percentage of glycated hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) that is coated with sugar.<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Normal: below 5.7%<\/li>\n
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%<\/li>\n
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nA1C of 7% roughly corresponds to an average blood sugar level of 154 mg\/dL (8.6 mmol\/L).<\/p>\n\n
Our pancreas produces insulin that travels through our blood to break down sugar. \nType 1 Diabetes is when the pancreas does not make enough insulin. \nThose with Type 1 Diabetes need to take insulin several times during the day.\nThere are different ways to take insulin: via a needle and syringe, an insulin pen, or an insulin pump (also called an automated insulin delivery system) device.<\/p>\n\n
People with Type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose level by consuming healthy meals and beverages, limiting calories if they have overweight or obesity, and physical activity (150 minutes, each week).<\/p>\n\n
Those with type 2 diabetes need to take diabetes medicines which include diabetes pills or medicines you inject, such as insulin. Over time, you may need more than one diabetes medicine to control your blood glucose level. Even if you do not take insulin, you may need it at special times, such as if you are pregnant or if yoxu are in the hospital for treatment.\nx\nTxhe glucose test at the doctor\u2019s office identified a calibrated level that is 10 points above<\/strong> what my Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) reported at the same time. Costco carries Dexcom<\/a> (Stelo) by prescription. It needs to be changed every 15 days.<\/p>\n\n
After you identify a baseline \u2013 about 104 mg\/dL (milligrams per deciliter)after fasting (waking up after 8 hours sleep), I\u2019m realy at 94 mg\/dL, which is within normal glucose levels for a healthy adult of between 70 and 99 mg\/dL. A fasting level higher than 126 mg\/dL suggests diabetes.<\/p>\n\n
The Stelo CGM issues a notification to my phone above a set threshold. That enables me to see to what level different foods spike my blood glucose level:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- A can of water-washed peaches took me to 140<\/strong> mg\/dL.\n
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSustained high readings above 140 to 199 mg\/dL (7.8 mmol\/L and 11.0 mmol\/L) suggests prediabetes. Levels above 200 mg\/dL or 11.1 mmol\/L (millimoles per liter) suggests diabetes. *<\/a><\/p>\n\n
Normally, two hours after eating, levels should be back to baseline.<\/p>\n\n
REMEMBER: Eating protein before sugar intake and exercise after eating helps to reduce levels.<\/p>\n\n
The pancreas does not differentiate between natural vs. artificial sugar (Sucralose).<\/p>\n\n
