Dietary Recommendations for Diabetes Prevention
- Prioritize whole foods like beans and peas over meat to reduce diabetes risk.
- Meat consumption, including red meat, processed meat, and poultry, increases diabetes risk.
Synthroid and Osteoporosis
- Levothyroxine (Synthroid), a common thyroid medication, may increase osteoporosis risk.
- Consider bone health, weight-bearing exercise, and vitamin K2 (MK4) if taking Synthroid.
Plant Protein and Muscle Synthesis
- Plant-based meals provide sufficient protein for muscle synthesis, comparable to meat.
- Complementary protein isn't strictly necessary, diverse plant protein throughout the day suffices.
