Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast.

Where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing

healthy weight.

Hi guys, I had another question from someone that wanted to know why is having high

blood sugars bad for us.

It's really two main reasons, with a lot of secondary reasons too.

One is that, and I'm going to start with number two, micro-hemaging of the vessels are

basically tiny little leaks, like your blood vessels are leaking blood.

What's going to happen is your body is going to then try to patch it up with a type of protein

called fibrogen.

You're going to have high levels of fibrogen when your sugars are high, and that's what

gives you sticky blood.

And from that you get clots, clots in the arteries which create a stroke, hardening of

the arteries, high blood pressure because you lose the elasticity, and then loss a vision

where you have the retina being destroyed.

You also get cirrhosis of the liver, so we get micro-hemorrhage, then the fibrogen.

And number three, you can get a fatty liver.

So I had this guy come in one day, and I had him lay on the table, and I'm chucking him,

and he told me his hands and his legs just go completely dead, they're numb, he can't

even feel them.

But he's not really concerned about that, because when he sits up and he can just kind of

tap it and it comes back to life.
