Hi everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on nighttime urination. Lately, I’ve been getting up once (sometimes twice) at night to pee, which didn’t really happen before. At the same time, I’m also much more hydrated now, especially because eating fruits and vegetables contains a lot of water. I’ve heard two different perspectives on this. One is that if we urinate around 8–12 times a day on average, then statistically it makes sense that nighttime would sometimes be included—especially if we’re going every 2–2.5 hours. The other perspective is about sleep cycles: apparently, we don’t wake up because we need to pee, but rather we become aware of the need to pee when we’re already in a lighter sleep phase. So in that sense, it may not be as disruptive as it sounds. I’m curious how you experience this. Is it normal or “okay” for you to get up once or twice per night? Or do you actively try to avoid it, for example by eating earlier or adjusting fluid intake in the evening? How do you personally handle this? Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Would you eat honeydew melon and papaya at the same meal? (I guess the answer is "no", but I want to be sure). Thanks.

I found this on YouTube today and it's scaring the heck out of me. Dr Greger is saying seven fruits that can give you heart disease. What is your opinion of this YouTube Dr Graham? https://youtu.be/ylDNJURvE-c?si=0HIUt18c6ks1Ozb2

I'm turning over a new leaf tomorrow. My breathing and digestion while much better than when I started down the 80/10/10 raw vegan path I'm still having some trouble. I especially realize there are issues when I lift weights and do a small amount of cardio at the gym. Dr. Graham mentioned to me a while back to do simpler salads with only one fat source and 3 to 4 ingredients. So up until now I didn't think to count the salad nor the lime as ingredients so definitely my fault on that one. Today I had my salad with lettuce, lime, red onion, avocado, and mushroom so altogether 5 ingredients when I was thinking this salad was 3 ingredients I feel silly for this. Anyhow, starting tomorrow I'm going to do my salad with lettuce, avocado, and red onion so it will truly be a 3 ingredient salad. I'm hoping that maybe doing much simpler less than 4 ingredients will help my stomach to not feel like it has a small knot in it. Perhaps throwing too much raw complexity is what causes my stomach to feel a bit off. I've also started meditating too thinking that the Buddhist meditation daily when I get up may help some too. For salads I picked my favorites with lettuce, red onion, and avocado. I track with Cronometer daily and shoot for between 2800 to 2900 calories which allows me to maintain healthy weight while continuing to lose fat and gain muscle with weightlifting. I'm 6'4" 170lbs, and my basal Metabolic Rate is 1950 calories and I feel good at 2800-2900 calorie range and typically my fat is in the 6.5% to 8% range for the day. If I did without the 🥑 fat would likely get towards the 4 to 5% range which would be fine but I do like a salad with some kind of dressing like avocado with water blended together. I'm not sure how simple I should go but any suggestions would be appreciated. What simple salads do you do or recommend?

Dr Doug.. what do you think of Mango Wozaks passing away being a fruitarian all those decades of clogged arteries at 64 years old. I just can't wrap my head around it and I can't understand it.
