Health Tip 1. Chew 30+ times before swallowing your food
When you chew, your body releases digestive enzymes helping to break down your food for better absorption.
And the truth is, most people greatly under-chew their food.
Proven benefits we see in scientific research are:
• Feeling fuller from meals
• Absorbing more nutrients
• Better digestion and gut health
• Improved teeth health
Health Tip 2. If possible, get a better poop angle
Most modern-day toilets fail to simulate how our bodies we designed to remove excrement.
We normally sit at a 90-degree angle on the toilet while we were more designed for a 35-degree angle or lower.
A poor anorectal angle, heh, kinks up your sphincter sort of like a garden hose as our bodies were designed to poop in the plains and not the burbs.
So, if you do have poop problems or just want a better poop, def consider getting a stool like the squatty potty to fix this.
Health Tip 3. The Inflammation Cure
If you suffer from any inflammation related problems:
Skin issues
Periodontal disease
Autoimmune diseases
Allergies
Etc
You’ll know there are lots of hype and internet lists around specific foods / diets that fight inflammation.
However, there’s one “trick” that works better no matter what you’re eating…
Calorie restriction.
We see in multiple studies that basic calorie control greatly reduces all markers of inflammation in the body.
It’s not sexy, but the solution for most of you suffering from these diseases is going to be restricting calories and probably not in eating some rare berry or doing some strange diet.
Health Tip 4. Work out in the morning for better sleep
A recent study done by Appalachian State University had participants exercise at 7am, 1pm, or 7pm 3 days per week.
They found that those working out at 7am had consistently better sleep and blood pressure.
So try working out in the am if you struggle getting in those precious zzzzz’s.
Health Tip 5. Veggies Make You Sexier
The University of St. Andrews found that when consuming yellow-red pigments found in veggies, subjects became more attractive to the opposite sex.
When placed in side by side comparisons, people were rated Universally more attractive the more (cah-roh-ten-oids) they ate and were even more attractive than those with fake tans....

**EDIT / CORRECTION** - Amy Cuddy's research has come under some controversy over the past few years since her talk. Even her colleague that partnered with her on the project says that the power poses are "undeniably false" as seen here: fortune.com/2016/10/02/power-poses-research-false/. Studies done with 4x the amount of participants Amy used for hers we're unable to see ANY hormonal changes: datacolada.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/5110-Ranehill-Dreber-Johannesson-Leiberg-Sul-Weber-PS-2015-Assessing-the-robustness-of-power-posing-no-effect-on-hormones-and-risk-rolerance-in-a-large-sample-of-men-and-women.pdf. Although, it seems Amy is still defending her position and sees the results as mixed: ideas.ted.com/inside-the-debate-about-power-posing-a-q-a-with-amy-cuddy/. I apologize for this oversight. I didn't see the debate and only looked into Amy's research. While "power posing" may still have some mild benefits, I wouldn't have included it in this presentation if I had seen the conflicting evidence. My bad nerd family!
The Health Nerd Nice vid, bro.
can you look more into the sugar and coccain thing? I am convinced I am addicted to sugar but an old coworker showed me peer reviewed links that that claim is false and built on bad science. Clarify please?
elany o IDK if sugar is MORE addictive then cocaine but what I can tell you for sure is that Sugar affects the body and brain the same as cocaine except at a lesser extent. Back in the early days of History, sugar was treated like a drug. People were killed over sugarcane.
The Health Nerd Always respect those who call out their own mistakes, and that makes you more credible.
chew that much. ? how long do we have to sit at the table to finish even a small meal? I should have a cud for all that chewing!
What if I did a TH-cam live video to answer some questions? Would yall be down or nah?
The Health Nerd yaaaaaaaaas👌🏼
The Health Nerd yes 🤓
Hell yesss we would ❤
Do it !!!
yes!
Now if the squatty potty doesn't make you look cool then I don't know what does.
Your channel literally has the best videos about weight loss! Keeping me motivated all the time!
Thank you! :)
the sugar thing gets me every time. I went a month without it and felt amazing but I felt so restricted and ultimately fell back into bad sugary habits. :(
Suggestion : how much fructose ( fruits ) and lactose can our bodies have daily ?
Hamdi Boujelben yes
Hamdi Boujelben I also wonder if there is a limit to fructose and how that looks like as in how many fruits that would be. Lactose is interesting too.
+essennagerry I heard that the liver can maximally contain 60 grams of fructose and any thing above that will be converted to fat ( fructose go directly to the liver ). But if +The Health Nerd can confirm this with studies it will be better.
But I have no idea about lactose
Hamdi Boujelben you can literally have as much fruit as you want. Fruit won't make you fat, it is filled with fibre and other important nutrients, so it's pretty hard to over eat seeing the fibre makes you so full :) "nutritionalfacts" has a whole video about it called "how much fruit is too much fruit" (or something like that) if you want to check it out, it's pretty helpful man
Hamdi Boujelben Bodies can store alot of sugar as glycogen and sugar to fat conversion rarely occurs. If it happens to occur, which means you ate insane amount of carbs, storing efficiency will be 70 percent, meaning 3 grams of carb will give you a gram of fat stored.
very helpful video!! thumbs up!
Welcome back! Will wait for your Q&A live!
Could you please please look into the "long breath diet".
Definitely interested in the research behind Tip 10.
Love your videos! Could you do one about carbonated water? Is it bad or does it add to the daily water intake??
Mouth breather!!!!
Can you do a video about how to stay disciplined while being an endomorph? Thanks!
Love your videos Health Nerd!!!!

I don't know what to do with sugar anymore😢😢 I hate it but i love it omg I'm an addicted 😐 help me The Health Nerd .. help meee
Your videos are awesome funny and very interesting congrats man..keep up hehe
it's really hard for me to start workking out at 7.00 because i will be at work by 7.00 am until evening. sucks
Please make a video about inflamation and type of food we should avoid if we suffer from it.
Love yor videos ❤️
Experiences are better👍👌
could you make a video about Rice?
Did you say nervie? Hell yes. I thought I trademarked that term.
Nice. Love your channels. But, check out #7 in greater details because it is quite controversial
Make a video about how to lose weight the best way when you have type 1 diabetes.
You got my "like" with the poopin' guy!
I'm from Austria and the firs tipp is very known here, it's some kind of old fashioned diet technique, we say chew your food 50 (!) times before swallowing, you'll give your body time to understand when you're actually full and not overeat, since it takes time for our body to signal that it's full. So when you do that you're not overfilled so that you feel like sleeping but just full enough to be satisfied and still able to move and function. also... how could you tell the world about #8, i always used the first stall for that reason.. now everyone will XD and for #9, meditation kind of saved my life, i was really really really not fine at a time of my life and i felt.. ok let's try the last thing (that i never wanted to try cause it seems so boring and i didn't believe in it despite all the papers i read about it)... it worked within a really short time and changed so much... from being suicidal i actually started loving my life within a month
I knew about #2! 😉😌
Did anyone else laugh at the end of this video? Nope? Just me? Okay then... xD
Quetion: visceral fat
How to increase testosterone?
yaas finally a new video! I am so happy I didn't even watch the video lmao
I guess having a bad back is good for something after all..lol.. I'm kinda forced to sit on an angle while dropping a deuce.. haha
"when participants ate red and green veggies, they were more attractive to the opposite sex" thank god I'm gay and I can stick with my chicken nuggets
ME
Same.
His animation is so darn adorable. His buttcheeks. 😂
Could you do a video about meditation and maybe yoga?
On it Noah. Always good to see ya in these parts
The Health Nerd thank you ^-^
I already poop at that angle cuz i watch TH-cam
Does chewing once or twice per bite count?
If you're a pelican
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE BEST FUCKING COMMENT ON THE INTERNET
Is brown rice really healthier than white rice? Supposedly nothing is really absorbed from brown rice because of the Phytic Acid being indigestible.
Laura Hall Basmati is the best of all.
Laura Hall hello I'm your new subscriber because i love cats.
I'm also interested to know which rice is healthier, I've been hearing conflicting answers on the subject
You should do a video on what food ingredients to avoid (BHA, artificial sweeteners, etc). I saw the video on how to read nutrition facts but I'm interested in specific ingredients :)
Allison Opitz yes Nice one!
About the toilet tho, if more people knew about this fact, bacterias spread would probably change.
snckddle I thought the same thing😂
i would suggest new topic: effect of sex and masturbation on muscle building and/or fatloss.
Awesome tips! I was aware of some, but there were plenty I needed to hear about. I've heard about the rats-cocaine-sugar research, but every time I read or see something about it. I wonder if they accounted for the better taste of sugar. They might not be addicted but just really prefer the taste of sugar over cocaine. It seems like an obvious thing, so they probably did account for it, but I can never find out if they really did or if I just would like to believe they did.
Anyone aware of Indian superstitions that too are backed by science?
Mr IY Benefits of Turmeric, Garlic and other such remedies...
But often the benefits are blown out of proportion, they are useful in specific circumstances but aren't miracle foods...
ikr ....
Mr IY
Sho vegana deer
Can you do a full video on tip #5? The yellow-red pigment I vegetables really interested me! Get video btw!
Because of your videos, I started a diet and in the first 7 days... I lost 8 Pound! Thanks! :D
Welp. Now I'm going to eat a lot of red and yellow veggies...
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
Rose Stirling from what I've read and heard yes it is because it gets your metabolism up and going for the day which will help you burn more fat and calories throughout the day and skipping breakfast will cause your metabolism to slow down but that's what I've read from the internet and I'm far from being an expert I'm only a 17 year old kid
Carson Link that is what I have been told my all my life, but recently I came across intermittent fasting in which people skip breakfast and fast for a large part of the day. I really don't know who to believe 😂
Ofcourse it is. Check these scientifically proven benefits of having breakfast and the top 10 healthy breakfasts.
www.superloudmouth.com/healthy-breakfast-ideas-for-college-students/
only if you work for cereal companies haha
im fasting and sometimes i feel good sometimes not it's random, i don't think it really matters at what part of the day you eat, but it sure is WAY easier to work on an empty stomach and feel lighter and quciker
Make 1:17 a gif please. PLEASE
I did it
amazing video 👏👏👏 i really enjoyed😁
So happy to see this channel grow !! 😁
nice
GREAT VID!!!
I substituted my Sugar with Spicy foods! PLEASE do a video on SPICY FOOD Health Facts
Thanks Bruh!
So I find it interesting that you mostly speak of losing weight, but the chanel is called thehealthnerd. I think theres more to health then losing weight. For example I would love to see a video on how to build muscle or strength, even mental health. Cheers and I hope you read this.
Have u talked about keto diet
What about carbs and muscle gain? What type of carbs we need to eat etc.?
Joshh Fujitsu the answer will always be complex carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, some types of pasta etc.; not only for getting lean and muscular but also for improving your insulin sensitivity. The answer is never cutting out any macro, especially carbs since they play an important role in muscle building; just dont go overboard on anything and you'll be fine my friend
Thx, man. I guess you're right. I only eat simple carbs after my workouts and it is not every time. The previous year I ate white rice almost like every meal and I gained a lot of fat along with muscle mass. Although the reason could also be eating too many calories. Now I'm tracking how many calories I'm eating and I feel great.
Joshh Fujitsu any carbs from whole unprocessed fruits vegetables grains and legumes
Simple carbs are the best yolo
Joshh Fujitsu it's not necessary to eat any carbs whatsoever. Your body can happily manufacture all the glucose it needs by breaking apart protein (from your diet, not your muscles. Don't even start with that Bullshit) and creating glucose. This process is energy intensive, so you'll lose quite a bit of body fat from it, which in turn will help enhance your muscle definition
I'm trying my best not to be that stick figure that promises more regular content and doesn't deliver. So this is me not promising, but swearing I'm trying. Thank you for "sticking" with me. Haha-ha -_- Links mentioned in the video are below!

Awesome Milena, glad to have you here :)
Or, instead of buying something, you could, you know, just lean forward when you're on the porcelain throne.
More on veggies and sexiness please
show us a few healthy cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner that contain a lot of protein and other things you have in your videos show
Health Nerd I am huge fan of ur videos :D ...Can u plz do a video on "Spirulina" ? It would be a lot helpful :)
Hey guys, I know you spoke about sleep and it's importance but we all don't have a regular sleep schedule. Some of us, based on our work/school will have interrupted sleep cycles and schedules. Can you do a video on how to combat the daily hassle of irregular sleep patterns?
Subbed!!
Your videos are very very informative. Please make a video about all purpose flour( white flour) vs whole wheat flour.
Sir.I am A Huge Fan of ur Videos😍😍
Pls Do a Video abt Ketogenic Diet
It's up next :)
The Health Nerd And Also cover "The Slow Carb Diet"
The Health Nerd Yaaaaay! Thanks!
Have you seen the videos from youtuber What I've Learned on sugar, calorie numbers, ketosis, fasting and such?
how to stop emotional eating?
I have been watching this video while sitting on the toilet - immediately changed the angle.
I wake up at 5, meditate, and then workout, and I've found that my sleep has greatly improved since then, and also I'm wayyyy more consistent with going to bed earlier because I know that I'll feel like crap the next day if I don't.
what are the veggies you need to look more attractive
Probably those with carotinoids, like carrots or sweet potato.
That study boils down to the fact that those simply change your skin color to a more healthy, less sickly pale looking skin tone.
Just make sure to eat clean. Add exercise and a good attitude to that mix, and you won't have to worry about attractiveness to much either way, since the body of an average guy that's physically and psychologically healthy will automatically reflect that, and look good to others as well.
your close, CLOSE friends? I ship it
1:18 lmfao how I wished I looked when I shit in the woods.
The Health Nerd THAT IS NOT TRUE. AMY CUDDY AND HER COLLABORATOR GOT CAUGHT LYING ABOUT ALL OF IT. SHE HAS RECANTED ALL OF IT. THE "GREATEST" TEDTalk WAS JUST A BUNCH OF LIES. SO DON'T BOTHER POSING. And now I am unsubscribing after I just hit the subscribe button because I see this channel doesn't bother to do much research. Seems like you find the first thing you see and report on that. All of this came crashing down over a year ago I think. Shame!
My question is...I am 5.7 feet tall n my weight was 95 kg in 2015.....Now with proper dieting and Cardio i lost 26 kg......only through Cardio no weight training...now i cant lose further....n also hav loose skin, What to do?...My Weight Goal is 58 kg
Lmao I wish I could breathe with my nose but for some reason ITS ALWAYS BLOCKED. It’s literally ALWAYS blocked. I can’t remember the last time I breathed properly with my nose. And I know what you’re thinking, “then how do you sleep?” I sleep with my mouth open so I wake up with drool all over my pillow and dried spit all over my face.
Wait - I thought the capacity of our lungs was set and could only be decreased by damaging them, but not increased in any way. Are you saying breathing through the nose INCREASES the lung size? And thus the capacity?
Chewing food properly is the best one but sadly cannot follow in today's lifestyle.
Agreed about experiences over possessions. I'm into replica props and one of the most satisfying experiences I have is spending a couple weeks making them. And hey, in the end I have both an experience and a thing.
It used to be 15 times to chew your food. I have lived overseas for many years and one country I lived in was Morocco where they have American style toilets but they also have what I call squats. It clean porcelain Bowl to put your feet on and squat down to poop. I came home and started to lean forward toward my knees and pooping was so much easier considering I can have problems in that area. The area of pooping not the area of my butt. I'll take a shovel now please. LOL I am vegan so I must be hella sexy! I have been meditating since I was 12 years old. I approve this video. Elizabeth MD PhD nutrition science
Hi! Can you please do a video on Alternate day fasting/dieting.....PLEASE...there is too much and too many videos of how to do and not but...I wanna know the real deal. Does it really help in losing weight? and if yes how does a person who works out every day to lose weight incorporate this in their life!? HELP!!! HELP!!!
but why does the little stick figure guy's tiny booty crack me up so much? does he have a name? is HE the health nerd or are you?
I video about meditation please!! There are so many different techniques and types it's hard to know where to start! AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES OVERLY ADVERTISED APPS THAT COST $$$$$$$
Already in the works Shea!
I have an Instagram account: live_aware where I talk about things in that genre, if you dm me I'd be happy to help :)
I love "Insight Timer"!
Its free!
Hey I really like your videos ...strangely my you-tube doesn't say your videos...why is that ???
Loved your video,hey can you do a video on what's under people's sinks and how house hold chemicals that are expired effects your health. Household chemicals in general.
Hey nerd,what do you think of dairy products without lactose?Are they good or bad for your health?I'd really like you to make a video about it,and if you already did just link it down below,I'm pretty new to this channel xD thx for your videos they are really helpful!!
As a sugar addict, i can say that sometimes it feels better to taste a sweet piece of heaven than being healthy. i've been working in my addiction for almost a year, i mean learning to control it or at least accept i have a problem with sugar, is really really REALLY hard, i don't even know if i'll get over it since you can find sugar on everything this days, but meh. I'm writing this for people to know that is something we have to learn to live with and be concious about what we put in our mouths, sugar is baaaad, but delicious. But you can be healthy and eat sweets at the same time... i think, just don't overeat.
Also i confirm that eating a lot of fats and zero simple or (some) complex carbohydrates such as bread, juice, fruit, cereal, potatos, corn, can prevent sugar cravings. Search it, is a fact. uh..bye
About the inflammation reduction one, I'm very much against calorie restriction but being a vegan, yes a vegan I know, tells me why you see less inflammation on a calorie restricted diet. Animal products cause incredible amounts of inflammation, and since most people eat animal products you see inflammation go down when they just eat less of it. But I bet science backs up vegans having the least amount of inflammation regardless of the amount of calories we're eating so, if you want to check that please do.
Can you explain amino acids for maintains muscles while trying to lose weight? Things like BCAA and stuff
OK it has to be about the poop angle. Not only because poop is funny but I bet it would help people with other problems on a serious level.
can you make a video on CLA + Carnitine ? alot of bodybuilders at the gym say it's good to drink while "cutting" why?
Calorie restriction has questionable evidence in reducing inflammation. However dont advise people that the solution for autoimmune disease is calorie restriction. That's why people end up not seeking proper treatment.
Was that entire list just so you can advertise meditation apps?
Your "science" is all questionable and clearly cherry picked.
Tip one is partially incorrect: while many people underchew their food, subsequent studies have shown that chewing a piece of food more than 7 times (on average) provides no additional benefit.
Calorie Restriction is a good thing anyways. It makes you slim, fights inflammation and is the key to longevity.
Does low intensity training (i.e. walking on a treadmill) burn more fat than high intensity interval training (HIIT)?
I see constipation epidemic in younger ppl because of high refined food intake. Please address this issue by encouraging fiber intake, you're a genius, I like your videos. Thanks for this innovative ideas.
If you could do a video on vegetarian sources or alternatives to non-veg sources of Vitamin B12! Pls, Thanks
LUV THE POOPING ANIMATION
You might want to look into the Amy Cuddy power pose a bit more! Her research partner, Dana Carney has come out and said that their study had many questionable research practises and the evidence against the existence of power poses is undeniable. This study has never been able to be replicated by other researchers, and data from the original has many issues. It is a classic example of scientific overreach.
What is described in this video is basically a combination of good diet, and what the Chinese call qigong. The latter suffering routine mockery just because it is explained in fanciful terms instead of terms us westerners are more familiar with.
Hey HN, ever considered doing a video on Maca Root and its benefits? Would be interested to know what you find. Thanks!
Fit for life diet. 80's . Claimed that eating a combination of carbs and protein would ruin digestion whereas the protein needs acids and the carbs fermentation. Both oh them together would trigger a neutral response. Also the protocol dictated that nothing except fruit should be eaten before noon. This was bared on our three basic cicles of absortion, integration and elimination. Haven't heard from the diet . I believe it was wise. Can you give it a glance?
