Psyllium husk is being touted as nature's Ozempic
- graceful6800 5mo agoThe Western world rediscovers dietary fiber. More on this modern miracle at 6.
- The_President 5mo agoRemoval of toxins from the lining is important - this stuff works wonders in that regard. You want to start the next day refreshed, take a little the night before. There's no comparing the side effects to ozempic, as psylium husk only has "two."
- BizarroLand 5mo agoPooping too much and not being able to poop, right? Well, and gassiness.
- Cpoll 5mo ago"Two" probably means "number two" a.k.a. pooping.
- Kirby64 5mo ago> Removal of toxins from the lining is important - this stuff works wonders in that regard. Alright I’ll bite. What “toxins” are you removing by increasing dietary fiber? And how would this somehow be different from the “toxins” that are supposedly removed in a juice cleanse or other similar ideas?

- Schiendelman 5mo agoYou made a claim, and didn't source it. There's reasonable doubt that this claim is true. The burden of proof is on you here...
- vrighter 5mo agoname three specific toxins that you are talking about
- sublinear 5mo agoAll this time and I'm still confused why anyone cares about these drugs. What's the point if so many people on Ozempic or similar have fucked up diets they're never going to fix and refuse to exercise?
- bushwart 5mo agoBecause they help those people stay thin. For some, that's enough.
- m463 5mo agoopinions aside, it is statistically easier to take a pill than change habits. statistically speaking, people with a BMI > 40 live 6 years less, and BMI > 50 live 15 years less. For those people, the changes they need to make might be close to impossible. And for everyone else, people aren't refusing, but their lifestyle might not support every healthy change. That said, read "younger next year", fascinating book on what lifestyle your body is programmed to do and how to support it. (answer vigorous exercise 6-7 days a week with strength training)
- potsandpans 5mo agoI recently watched my elderly grandparent (>90) degrade and die in a hospital bed. The end was horrible. The lead up was terrible. And the years building up to that were miserable. I remember thinking, "I would like to live less than that"
- mathgladiator 5mo agoI care since I have known people to go on, drop some weight, can't sustain, gain weight back and it's worse due to poorer body comp. It's sad. This may turn out like an opioid level challenge.
