It’s undeniable that food can nourish our body or put it in a state of dis-ease.

Last we heard younger brother abandoned the family 7 years ago, anyhow last we heard he was 300 pounds. Both he and I have battled our weight. Lost 70 + pounds as a teenager at 15. Have gained and lost since then, now my mom’s health and stress has caused me to gain 50 pounds and stubborn weight to get off. Insulin resistance……doing keto / carnivore as best as I can. I have a keto breath machine my number this morning was 9 which I am burning 🔥 fat for fuel slow but I have room to go higher. Using a ton of coconut oil even ordered coconut oil capsules. Upping omega 3 fish capsule supplements to get extra DHA INTO my brain. 🧠 Brain hasn’t worked all my life. Still can’t drive a car. Almost 40. In ketosis starting point. No sugar or carbs in diet. Not going diabetic like my parents. Only 40 **39 *** 😢😢😢hell no.

The Mediterranean diet does have, in many modern cases, a high carbohydrates content nowadays, since flour is relatively cheap, but most persons use more of the foods devoid of this, and I have been raised on lesser dependency on "pasta" plates, and at 86 years in a few months, the family doctor wishes that his 60 year old patients would be as healthy as myself. The diet MUST vary during the week, Using less processed foods.

@BarryAnderson 3 hours ago THE ABSOLUTE WORST BREAKFAST CHOICE OF YOUR LIFE description is as follows ...... @728huey 3 months ago So apparently it's cereal and orange juice. One thing to remember about the cereal and orange juice we consume today compared to what our grandparents and great-grandparents ate back in the day. Back then cereals didn't contain high fructose corn syrup and preservatives, and orange juice back then was squeezed by hand. Also, the grains used to make our wheat and corn flours are treated with glyphosate (Roundup) which destroys the gut biome. In addition, the orange juice sold in supermarkets has been seriously adulterated, often squeezed and juiced at the factory and placed into huge vats that are vacuum sealed, thus degrading nearly all the nutritional value from the juice. When it is processed and packaged into containers they add sugar, orange essential oil, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the juice to make it drinkable again. So breakfast is already highly processed, and it's the consumption of this adulterated food that causes inflammation in the body and causes cuts in the arteries that scar up.

The key takeaways from Dr. Georgia Ede's perspective on diet and mental health are: 1. **Negative Impact of Processed Foods:** Consumption of processed meats, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates is harmful to both physical and mental health. These foods contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance in the brain. 2. **Importance of a Healthy Diet:** A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is recommended for better health and longevity. Such a diet positively influences brain chemistry and overall well-being. 3. **Dangers of Modern Diet:** The modern diet, high in ultra-processed foods and unhealthy fats like refined vegetable oils, is linked to an epidemic of mental health disorders. These foods undergo extensive chemical processing and are detrimental to brain health. 4. **Myth of Superfoods:** Commonly touted superfoods like blueberries, red wine, and dark chocolate do not have the magical health benefits often claimed. Adding them to an unhealthy diet does not significantly improve brain health. 5. **Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet:** The ketogenic diet, which is high in fats, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates, can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. It stabilizes blood sugar and insulin levels and provides an alternative energy source for the brain. 6. **Exercise and Muscle Health:** Regular exercise and maintaining muscle health are crucial for improving metabolism and insulin sensitivity. 7. **Personalized Dietary Strategies:** Different levels of dietary strategies can be adopted depending on individual metabolic health and goals. Personalizing the diet is key to its effectiveness and sustainability. 8. **Critique of Nutrition Epidemiology:** Dr. Ede criticizes the field of nutrition epidemiology for its reliance on biased and unreliable data, advocating for more scientifically rigorous research. 9. **Empowerment Through Knowledge:** Understanding the impact of diet on health and mental well-being is empowering. Dr. Ede encourages readers to make informed choices about their diet and lifestyle. 10. **Holistic Approach to Diet:** The focus should be on a diet that nourishes, protects, and energizes the brain, emphasizing the importance of avoiding antinutrients and refined carbohydrates and maintaining healthy glucose and insulin levels.

You're right we didn't talk about that (so much to talk about we couldn't cover everything). I go into a lot of detail about this in the book but the short answer is that ketogenic diets almost always improve multiple markers of metabolic health: triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood sugar levels, appetite, inflammation, insulin levels, and blood pressure. The only test that sometimes looks "worse" on a ketogenic diet is LDL cholesterol. LDL is really complicated...Look up the work of Dr. David Diamond--he has some great videos on the subject of LDL

So what do you eat for 3 meals a day 7 days per week. Eggs and bacon every morning. Meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner every day. Even the meat and vegetables most of us buy are problematic. Many of us are sitting a lot but doing a lot of brain work and working longer hours. We also may not be able to eat when we’re hungry or should eat because of the demands of our work.

Best foods for the brain are high quality cholesterols and saturated fats per Professor/Dr Tim Nokes and Dr Nadia Ali amongst other Drs.

I'm very scared of frozen blueberries. Where have they been grown, are they properly washed (from 3rd world countries for example) etc etc ???

[@gradskooler7308]

But don't these polyphenols found in berries, and chocolate etc support the gut microbiome, which in turn supports brain health? It's more than just chemical compounds that directly impact brain function, right? It's about providing a diverse array of food sources found in the plants we consume to support the garden in our gut so that they produce postbiotics that support our cognition and moods.

Only one square inch/day of DARK CHOCOLATE is required to provide the body with antioxidants.

[@saikoro12012]

Just to keep in mind that dark chocolate has higher levels of lead than milk chocolate.

[@silvamaney8897]

High in oxalate

​@@evelynsoriano4571Dark 🌑 chocolate 🍫 does NOT hold the corner on the market of antioxidants. There are MANY foods that provide them, mostly fruits.

​@@saikoro12012Where do you get that there is ANY lead in ANY chocolate?!! Maybe there's lead in the AIR we breathe. 🙄

Excellent episode🔥👏

[@rosemariemann1719]

Very interesting video. Many thanks.😊. It underlines a lot of information I have heard over many years 😊. I remember seeing a programme about "The Blue Zone", which not only looked at diet, but also the social aspects of the vigorous old folk. Common factors were: purpose, activity ( e.g., growing good food ), low stress, emotional support , Organic food ( i.e., no junk ), Comparitive quiet ; comfortable in community....😊🌿 The modern urban life with huge stresses : junk food ; anxiety ( crime, terrorists ..) ; " Burn-out" ; Isolation, overcrowding, pollution, imported cultural differences, National debt ; corruption; " Tribes ", Drugs, slavery; aggression ; Covid ; fear of society breaking down...😢. epidemics of obesity and diabetes...🤔😢... Those great old folks in "The Blue Zone" somehow avoided most of the modern urban problems....😊🌹 💙🥀👍🦉🎼😊.... The other point I wanted to make was that my favourite KZbin doctor is Dr. Mark Hyman , who does "Keto" and "Vegan": he calls it "PEGAN". 🇬🇧👍🦉📖🌹💙😊🇬🇧

Diet is the foundation for everything else feeling well helps us make better choices in life

I quit cereals + breakfast six years ago

You never actually "skip" breakfast. Whenever you eat after a long period of "not" eating, you are breakfasting. If folks would stop categorizing food, it would be a step toward healthier eating. No such category as "breakfast food".Salmon can be your first meal of the day.
