The impact of vitamin D supplementation on your blood pressure

Research shows that optimizing your vitamin D level can lower systolic blood pressure within weeks.

People with low vitamin D levels saw the most dramatic improvements, making testing your level a smart rst step if you struggle with high blood pressure.

Vitamin D helps lower blood pressure by reducing uid retention and relaxing blood vessels.

Taking vitamin D alongside magnesium and vitamin K2 increases its effectiveness and reduces the dose needed to reach optimal levels.

Have your vitamin D level checked to establish a baseline. From there, you’ll be able to determine whether you need more sunlight exposure or need to take an oral supplement.

Biological Age Versus Chronological Age

BioAge Test

“Two people born the same day can have a 30-year gap in cellular age.” — Nature Aging, 2022

Your cellular age is what determines how you feel, how fast you heal, and how long you’ll stay independent.

And according to the latest science…
Most people are aging faster than they think.

So here’s a simple 5-minute self-test you can take right now to confirm what that age is:

1. Heart Recovery Test (Max 4 pts)
(From NEJM & Eur J Prev Cardiol)

Sit quietly for 2 min. Count your pulse.
March in place briskly for 1 minute.
Stop. At exactly 60 seconds after stopping, check pulse again.
Subtract: Peak HR – 60-sec recovery HR = HRR (heart rate recovery)

Score it
• 25 bpm or more: 0 pts
• 18–24 bpm: 1 pt
• 12–17 bpm: 2 pts
• 11 bpm or less: 4 pts

2. 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (Max 4 pts)
(From J Gerontol A)

Sit on a firm chair. Arms crossed.
Stand up and sit down as many times as possible in 30 seconds.
Count your full reps.

Score it
• 17+ reps: 0 pts
• 14–16: 1 pt
• 11–13: 2 pts
• 10 or fewer: 4 pts

3. The Longevity Lifestyle Trio (Max 6 pts)

A. Waist-to-height ratio

Under 0.50 = 0 pts
0.51–0.59 = 2 pts
0.60 + = 4 pts

B. Vegetable variety yesterday

5 or more kinds = 0 pts
3–4 kinds = 1 pt
0–2 kinds = 2 pts

C. Sleep quality

7–9 hrs & wake refreshed = 0 pts
= 6 hrs or wake tired = 2 pts

Total Your Points
0–3 pts = body likely 5–10 years younger than calendar age
4–7 pts = aging on schedule
8–10 pts = body 5–10 years older; time to act
11–14 pts = aging 10 + years faster; urgent course-correction needed

What to Do With Your Number
If you scored higher than you’d like, don’t panic; biology is changeable.

Starting this week, 22 of the planet’s top doctors and researchers will reveal the exact routines they follow to reverse biological aging:

Go For A Walk

Go For A Walk

While this is crafted to be humorous, there is more than a grain of truth in the advsibility to extrovert ones’s attention if you feel down. While a run is ultimately desirable (Wingate sprints are apparently the best exercise one can do) I believe it is best to increase one’s activity on a gradient. Start with a walk and look at things while you do.

Japan’s Shocking mRNA Vaccine Revelations: 21 Million Vaccination Records Expose Alarming Death Trends

Japan’s Shocking mRNA Vaccine Revelations: 21 Million Vaccination Records Expose Alarming Death Trends

Peak in deaths occurs 3 to 4 months after vaccination

f you thought the mRNA vaccine saga couldn’t get any wilder, Japan just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the narrative to its core. A group of 350 Japanese volunteers, led by the United Citizens for Stopping mRNA Vaccines, has unleashed a staggering 21 million vaccination records—yes, you read that right—obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. This isn’t some small-fry dataset; it’s a colossal trove of vaccination dates, lot numbers, and, most chillingly, deaths. And what it reveals? Well, let’s just say it’s not the “safe and effective” mantra we’ve been spoon-fed.

By analyzing the 21 million records, Prof Murakami of Tokyo Science University uncovered a disturbing peak in deaths 90–120 days after mRNA vaccination, with higher doses showing earlier death peaks. That’s right—folks who got more jabs died sooner, suggesting a cumulative toxicity that builds with each shot.

Murakami estimates that 600,000 to 610,000 Japanese may have died post-vaccination, a figure that aligns eerily with Japan’s excess death statistics. But here’s the kicker—why haven’t these deaths been plastered across headlines? Prof Murakami suggested that they’re happening three to four months later, slipping under the radar of official reports because doctors do not see them as cause of deaths if they are not within a few days after vaccination. The government’s not connecting the dots, folks, and it’s no surprise why. These delayed deaths don’t fit the narrative of “safe and effective.” Instead, they point to a silent crisis that’s been swept under the rug.

The good news is this: while Big Pharma pushes forward with its next pet project—the self-replicating mRNA vaccine (aka replicon vaccine)—the Japanese public isn’t buying it. Out of 4.2 million doses rolled out last October, only 10,000 were administered. That’s a measly 0.24% uptake rate. Let that sink in. The people of Japan, armed with growing skepticism and fueled by groups like the United Citizens, have rejected this experimental jab en masse. And they’re not just sitting quietly—over 100,000 signatures were submitted to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, demanding a halt to mRNA vaccinations.

Why the resistance? The replicon vaccine, hyped as a “next-gen” solution, is already raising alarms. According to the press conference, the pharmaceutical company behind it (Meiji Seika Pharma) has admitted to higher rates of adverse effects and deaths compared to the original Pfizer and Moderna jabs. If the first round of mRNA shots was bad, this self-replicating version sounds like a sci-fi horror show. No wonder Japan’s saying, “Thanks, but no thanks.”

This isn’t just Japan’s battle—it’s a global wake-up call. The United Citizens group, with 70,000 supporters and 3,000 volunteers, is pushing for international collaboration to stop mRNA vaccines, including a planned influenza shot set for fall 2025.

The group’s database, though currently Japanese-only, is being prepped for English translation, and they’re inviting researchers worldwide to dive in.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. The group’s facing heat—legal heat. Meiji Seika Pharma has slapped a lawsuit on Congressman Kazuhiro Haraguchi and others for speaking out against the replicon vaccine. Haraguchi himself claims he developed lymphoma post-vaccination, with spike proteins found in his lymph cells. Coincidence? You tell me.

This 21-million-record bombshell isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet—it’s lives, families, and a healthcare system that’s failed to ask the hard questions. The peak in deaths at 90–120 days, the staggering estimate of 600,000+ deaths, and the public’s rejection of the replicon jab scream one thing: people are waking up. Japan’s data, painstakingly gathered by volunteers, is a clarion call to rethink the mRNA experiment before more lives are lost.

Want to dig deeper? The database is online. Contact the United Citizens for Stopping mRNA Vaccines to join the fight. This isn’t over, folks. Share this, spread the word, and let’s keep pushing for the truth.

Because if we don’t, who will?

Accomplishment vs Regret

I was thinking of how to best communicate the benefits of investing time in preserving your health rather than just doing what most people do.

In financial advisory worlds (one of my backgrounds) the power of compound interest, applied to even a small sum over decades, is well recognised as a huge lever to building wealth.

Yet most people do not maintain a consistent investment strategy as part of the management of their personal finances. So much so that the Australian government, on predicting an inability to pay pensions to support an aging population, chose to mandate compulsory superannuation contributions.

Part of this failure to predict future consequences comes from the constant dragging of attention to present time spending by people and organisations wanting to sell you their products/services.

Reports suggest the average Australian is exposed to a conservative 4,000 ads a day with some proposing it’s closer to 10,000. (https://www.mi-3.com.au/06-03-2023/bombarded-4000-ads-every-day-distraction-economy-what-key-attention-hint-its-not-making)

So one of the things you can do to improve your prediction and planning is to plan a specific time-out period at the beginning of each day to plan your day and another at the end of the day to review the day’s activities and start to plan the next day’s activities.

But I digress. Back to you and how to maintain your health.

Instead of focusing on the negatives, regarding exercise as a chore or eating healthy as a restriction on eating food that tastes good, why not maintain focus on the positives – thinking of eating healthy and exercise in terms of an investment in your ability to continue to enjoy life as you age, rather than suffering in your declining years?

Now criminals have in common at least three characteristics of which I am aware.

Low self-esteem
Inability to create
Inability to predict consequences

The low self-esteem results in a criminal being willing to contemplate and do actions a person with high self-esteem would not contemplate let alone undertake.

The inability to create results in a criminal having to steal from those who can create.

The inability to predict consequences results in a criminal not predicting they will be caught and incarcerated for their crimes.

Looking over what is euphemistically described as our current civilization, I see a lot of people not accurately predicting the consequences of their actions and suffering from that.

One of the projects I often give a person in their teens or twenties is to survey their parents, aunts and uncles and list their health issues. Figuring they have similar genetics and probably very similar diets.

Then ask the relative to share what changes they would make to prevent those health issues from developing if they had their time over again.

Now, their thoughts may not yield the entire picture so feel free to do some research to confirm/clarify/expand the measures you could take to set yourself up for a long and healthy life.

Then make a list of those changes. You could arrange them in ease of implementation or order of relative benefit.

Once you have done that, look over your list and decide what the first change will be that you will implement into your regime to prevent future health problems.

It could the the easiest change to implement or the one you think will make the biggest difference. But it should be one you can commit to implementing.

Once you have successfully incorporated that improvement into your regime, simply rinse and repeat. Pick the next one and implement it. Again, it could be the easiest or the most beneficial.

Continue doing this until you work your way through the list.

There is another way to determine what you need to do to improve your health and longevity. And get a much larger list of things you can change, add or drop to your regime. Pick up a copy of How To Live The Healthiest Life: https://howtolivethehealthiestlife.com/
