Enjoyed reading this article, Tim. Your point about processed foods is an important one. Processed and ultra-processed foods are responsible for the upticks in cancer, heart disease, and diabetes over the past several years.
I'd add one important point under hydration: Find a source for reverse osmosis water. RO, when done properly, removes 99.5% of total dissolved solids, so you can know for a fact you're not consuming ridiculous amounts of minerals, salts, and metals.
We buy our RO water from a local business, but I know a number of people who have RO systems installed in their homes.
RO tastes better!
