Heard something new about 'fatty tongue'
Please, I'm just a lifelong learner like you are. I'm not promoting anything, just passing something on that is new to me, and which may be important to some of us over time....maybe.
I am in the process of changing my habits, one at a time. I have a photo from two years ago, shirt off, working at the kitchen counter tightening canning jars with newly pickled beets. It's astounding how heavy I had gotten. I'm on a low carb and intermittent fasting regimen that I have hybridized because I like to customize my experience and processes. I have lost 23 pounds since late January when I embarked on this re-jigging of my life.
To the point, there is a physician who posts a video every other day on youtube, and if do a search on that site, it's KenDBerryMD. He's an ex-fatty who has gone public with his addictions and with his messages to those who would like to change their lives for the better. Today, he mentions fruit consumption and its pitfalls. He states that when the liver processes fructose, and only it deals with fructose (no other organ or muscle can handle fructose), and if the body is already replete with glycogen and blood glucose, it converts the fructose to fat. What got me is that he mentions 'fatty tongue' casually and then parenthetically says, yeah, that's a real thing, and it is a leading cause of obstructive sleep apnea.
Go figure. I will want to do some more reading and inquiry, and perhaps you will want to as well. It could be something worth incorporating into our lexicon here.
