all right so i have some good news for you and i  have some bad news what do you want to hear first  

the good news or the bad news let’s start with the  bad news okay the bad news is this air pollution  

has now been found to cause diabetes okay and  it has to do with this thing called particulate  

matter that is the microscopic particles  in the air you have solids you have liquids  

and they’re very very tiny they can get  into the lungs they can go into your blood  

and create all sorts of problems now  the size of this particulate matter  

is less than 2.5 micrometers now a micrometer is  a micron and it’s a million times less than an  

actual meter so it’s very very tiny and  usually you can see this as haze in the air  

now in this particulate matter you have  hundreds of different chemicals from industry  

from power plants and automobiles and various  other things that get into the air and one  

problem is that can cause lung cancer but a new  study that came out it was 16 weeks long showed  

that exposure to particular matter and they call  it pm 2.5 which is particular matter less than 2.5  

microns they found that it altered blood sugars  and increased the risk of diabetes significantly  

and they’re not sure exactly why this is but  there’s some theories could be because of the  

systemic inflammation it could be because  the autonomic nervous system dysfunction  

could be the oxidative stress or it could just be  affecting the gut microbiome but all this leads to  

insulin resistance so it affects the blood sugars  and insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes  

all right that’s the bad news let’s talk  about the good news they also found out  

that fasting completely blocks this effect okay  and i’ll put the link down below so if you’re  

doing fasting you’re protected against this  negative effect fasting blocks this problem  

turning into insulin resistance it also inhibits  glucose and tolerance simply because of all the  

hundreds of powerful benefits from fasting and one  being a strengthened immune system another being  

autophagy which cleans up the body and probably  the biggest benefit is the increased resistance  

against oxidative stress so especially  if you live in a polluted environment  

you need to do fasting i put a link down below  of exactly how to do it it’s pretty easy and i’ll  

walk you through how to do it step by step hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my  

content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
