Weekly Health Quiz: Vertigo, Fasting and Choline

1 The following food is one of the best sources of choline — an important player in cell membrane function, nerve communication and the quenching of inflammation — which many are deficient in:

• Skim milk cheese
• Instant oatmeal
• Raw beets
• Eggs

  Eggs are one of the best sources of choline available. According to researchers, it's difficult to get enough choline from your diet unless you're eating eggs or taking a dietary supplement. Learn more.

2 A primary physical effect of 5G, which relies primarily on the bandwidth of the millimeter wave, that many may be able to sense is:

• Pain

  5G technology relies primarily on the bandwidth of the millimeter wave (MMW), which is known to penetrate 1 to 2 millimeters of human skin tissue and may cause physical pain via nociceptors. Learn more.

• Coldness
• Paralysis
• Hallucinations

3 The following is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Crystal deposits in your inner ear getting dislodged

  The most common cause of peripheral vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which occurs when crystal deposits in your inner ear become dislodged and end up in your ear canal. As you move, the crystals disrupt the flow of the fluids, confusing your balance organs, resulting in dizziness. Learn more.

• Brain and/or spinal cord tumors
• Cranial nerve tumor

6 The following are two primary benefits of fasting:

• Stem cell activation and autophagy

  Two primary benefits of fasting are stem cell activation and autophagy. By upregulating autophagy and boosting stem cells, you will lower your risk of most diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration. Learn more.

• Stem cell deactivation and mTOR activation
• mTOR activation and reduced production of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
• Decreased insulin and leptin sensitivity
