Pharmacist, nutritionist, and cosmetic chemist Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, and offered tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. He talked about the importance of boosting the immune system and noted how during Pres. Trump's recent COVID therapy, he was reportedly given zinc, Vitamin C, and melatonin. When a person has elevated cholesterol levels, Fuchs suggested this was almost identical to the condition of having high blood sugar. Reducing sugar intake and taking the sugar-metabolizing supplements of chromium and niacin are helpful to both of these imbalances, he said. The digestive system, he added, is innately connected to one's health and immunity.
Cured meats and some prescription drugs are high in nitrates that can damage the body, he cited, and deplete nutrients. However, Vitamin C can counteract or deactivate the effects of nitrates, he stated. Fuchs spoke about how caloric restriction is associated with longevity and that as people grow older, it's beneficial for them to eat less. Supplements that can enhance the brain and memory include EFAs (essential fatty acids) and the mineral magnesium (also good for heart health).
