Increase Your Mitochondria, Your Body Will Thank You | The Acid Drop

I thought Low Sodium was under 1.5 grams a day. I can't imagine getting 4 gms. a day

This study is only applicable to obese and sedentary people.

Other way normal, healthy and active person needs lots of fructose from fruit and/or other vegetable carbohydrate because they need fast and direct energy from it. Also they need reasonable potassium amount by daily supplement for glucose conversion to fructose thru poliol pathways because this fructose itself exist within nature abundantly with many reasons.

Eight Weeks = Weak Mind

All of the diseases of "low mitochonria" is the exclusive result of low potassium and mineral diet!

I drank tea with fructose (agave) for several months and it turned out that I was unknowingly going to kill myself. It is poison, never use fructose concentrates, I would lose my life without knowing

How about the twin study that showed a vegan diet was much better for mitochondria,than a healthy diet that included meat and dairy.

I’ve had chronic fatigue years often bedridden housebound it is known the mitochondria can’t produce energy now it’s proven parts of the brain is different too

Low sodium diet will not work for people with hypotension

I wish they would have added one more arm to this study, low fructose only.

What does drop acid refer to?

What about the requirement for high sodium intake for low-carb and ketogenic diets

Tell that to Fruitarians, many of whom remain healthy after decades of primarily eating just tons of whole fruit. No gout there! High protein diets can easily lead to gout. Generally speaking, there are less purines in vegetables and fruits than in red meat, poultry, and seafood.

💖 Thank you for a very helpful and informative video..your delivery of info is really great...

EL CUERPO ES UN TODO

When they say salt, is it table salt or sea salt bc those are very different things.

David Perlmutter should win a Nobel Prize. Incredible video.

Please continue with U tubes. I'm a naturopathic person with HSV and I research mitochondrial support and thymus regeneration. I will watch mito u tubes more than once as I am getting very familiar with specific medical terms. Appreciate you Bonnie

Agape 💙 .Dr. David. Ty 4 telling me the truth. I'm on it.

Copper.. yes.. you neeed it
Minerals n vitamins!!

Copper=cellular energy=feel better =energy!! Your deficient im sure.. specially if in america on our sad diet..

Cant activate shit.. without copper.. cellular energy!! Feel better yall

This was powerful info

I've read some studies by Rick Johnson. The polyol reaction seems to be key to uric acid levels which in turn prompts conversion of glucose to fructose (and triggering the 'uricase mutation'). His take on it (interview with Dr. Peter Attia) is that it's relative sodium levels - so dehydration can do this as well. His take on it was (paraphrasing) "if you're going to eat something salty, drink liquids first).
It's an interesting area. I hadn't made the connection with mitogenesis and mitophagy but how else would an organism reduce energy consumption? Subscribed, BTW.

With low carb I need to ingest more salt. I have good metabolic health thus healthy mitochondria.

20g of fructose - does that mean added fructose? Cos one apple has about that much, depending on a variety, size and ripeness. Are you saying that if I eat two apples I am at a risk of dysfunctional mitochondria? And how much salt is too much? I seem to be one of those who don't respond to salt intake with hypertension. I need to take more salt to keep my fluids in or they get flushed right through. And no, I don't suffer diabetes insipidus.

Why do you advocate consuming tart cherries? It contains fructose.

In the study, did they use fructose in the form of fruits?
Would the antioxidants in the fruits reduce the negative effects?
On a mostly Vegan diet consisting of potatoes, fruits, veggies and no added salt,
my results are: Uric Acid 5.0, HbA1c 4.7% (avg 3 mo BG 86), Chol 185, TG 78.

“One of the simplest measurements that can be done is to look at the levels of mitochondria within the red blood cells”

Didn’t you just say prior to that, red blood cells have a mitochondria? (“… Interestingly, not in a red blood cells”) and correctly so; that is true.

Contradictory to what many find.

We need low fructose only

Hmm… sounds like 💯 percent plant 🌱based diet will increase mitochondria.

Thanks Dr I have mitochondrial disease and I am conscious of everything in my diet.

How do we know that this is not a stress reaction where the body tries to compensate for low fructose/carb intake by creating as many mitochondria as possible to use even the tiniest amounts of carbs to get energy?

I read that red blood cells don’t contain mitochondria?

This is what makes it difficult to trust the medical industry. It’s very clear that low fructose increases mitochondria density, but they’ve always had such a hard on against sodium that they have to include lowering sodium even though it had only a trace level influence.

Im confused now, there is another guy he says he has more energy eating only fruits until moon, now this Doctor no fruits? Who I should belive, please help!!!

But...isnt fruit good for you? Isnt fructose from fruit? So why would our ancestors bodies go into survival mode when fruit trees are all producing???

What if your NaCl levels are constantly low? A low Na diet will not be reasonable.

Let's think. Lowering just sodium gains 13.1 times mtDNA. Lowering sodium and fructose raises mtDNA 147.2 times. Therefore, sodium must be the most important factor? Really? That's not the best science! This pilot study Dr. Perlmutter refers to (2013LowfructoseandlowsaltdietsincreasemitDNA.pdf) should have had a second control of just reducing fructose. One should rightly wonder if there has been any follow-up study in the last decade. Or maybe a conspiracy theory from "Big Fructose" shut them down? Admittedly just and uneducated guess, but maybe that is one of the factors in keto or carnivore diets. Again, just guessing, but wouldn't it be a good idea for hospitals and elder-care facilities to adopt this low-sodium & low-sugar dietary plans? Or have Harris do it by executive order against "Big Food"? (tongue in cheek)

Why not a study about low fructose and normal amounts of sodium?

What is th red blood test called to measure the number of mitochondria?

My (age 77) BioPQQ 10-20 mg daily supplement from 1 year ago boosts mitochondria powerfully. Synergistic with my 100-400 mg daily of Kaneka Ubiquinol. Thanks. Melville Jayathissa from sunny Malaysia

Works great!!! Low sodium and 0 fructose!!! I have stage 2 CKD up from stage 3b. After addressing the mitochondria issue I have normal energy again!!!

How to increase mitochondria when there isn’t a weight issue?

I am sick and tired of hearing about obese people , how about testing active people without enough salt you don't absorb enough nutrients the body needs to function properly

The body also needs sodoum...so much for that

What the freak? 70 times increase in mitochondrial density

Redox Signaling Molecules - the foundation of cellular health. Great things to come! I drink them every day

plants reflect near infra red light which is energy and absorbed by the skin for the mitochondria : healthy plants give off a lot more

what diets have high fructose?
