Also stay in shape - not really. He’s got a lot of belly fat and he’s aged about 10 years in the last few. Even he said that in a recent q n a that he was stopping soon due to the toll it takes on the body. It’s an eating disorder plain and simple - they kill.

Joel, I’ve been watching your channel for years and no matter what, your wholesome good nature comes through and your inner light shines bright!!! This one was such an amazing surprise!!! So happy for you to not even know that was gonna happen and it just falls on your lap like this! What a wonderful pay off 💰 🎉💰 God bless ya and I send you much adoration and prayers for safe and healthy travels and more blessings no matter where you go! Cheers from Ohio!!! ✌️🤤🍖😋 Btw, 🧂 (Suggestion for those that eat a lot of salt) Your cells have sodium and potassium pumps that work in tandem together. If you want to load up on salt and stay healthy, load up on bioavailable potassium at the same time(along w/plenty of pure water). This will assist your body in staying balanced and maintain healthy blood pressure, less bloating/edema etc. plus, the type of salt you eat matters. Regular table salt is not as healthy as Kosher or Himalayan/Dead Sea Salt. Happy eating y’all!!❣️🫀❣️
