Anti-Aging Foods To Eat Regularly

As you get older, the organs and  tissues throughout your body start   to break down and get weaker (senescence). This is a natural part of the aging process,  however many peoples bodies are  aging at a much faster rate, because of environmental factors such as  not eating enough nutrient dense foods,  lack of sleep, lack of exercise, environmental toxins such as cigarette  smoke, pesticides, sugar, drugs,  mould spores and other pro-oxidants. All of these issues can cause oxidative  stress inside the cells of your body,  leading to DNA damage and faster aging.

Here are some examples of how  your body changes as you ageCollagen Loss - You begin to lose  collagen. You'll notice this mostly as   your skin begins to become less elastic,  and it begins to sag and form wrinkles.

Joint Degeneration - Similarly the  joints in your knees, hips, elbows,  shoulders etc can begin to degenerate  and break down, and become more stiff.

Muscle Atrophy - Your muscles  will also shrink as you age,  as your body makes less human growth  hormone and stores less amino acids.

Brain Shrinkage - Even parts of your  brain such as the frontal lobe and  hippocampus start to shrink as a  natural part of the aging process,  and communication between  neurons becomes less effective Heart Weakness - As the your  biological age progresses,  the valves in your heart can thicken and  the chambers can begin holding less blood.

Liver Deterioration - and also naturally  your liver will begin to lose its ability  to filter as many toxins from your blood,  and less blood flows through the liver.

Fortunately for us however, scientists  and biohackers are always studying new  ways to improve the longevity of the body, to both increase human lifespan, and enrich  the body so that you can feel strong,  healthy and happy well into old age.The most important way to slow down the aging  process is by correcting your  diet and eating certain foods.

Today, we will be exploring the top 10  anti-aging foods to eat on a regular basis.

These foods help to fight ageing by  lowering inflammation and oxidation,  and supply key nutrients and antioxidants that  help to protect your cells at the genetic level.Just a quick reminder this art  is for educational purposes only,  so do speak to your doctor if  you have any medical concerns.

1. Blueberries (Resveratrol)

Blueberries are one of the most  powerful fruits in the world when it  comes to boosting longevity and fighting  against the negative effects of aging.

These delicious bright blue berries are packed  full of resveratrol, and anthocyanidins.

These are natural plant chemicals which have  been shown to help protect the  DNA against oxidative damage.

Eat a handful of these daily, perhaps in some  Greek yoghurt to boost both your antioxidant  network, and your immune system to repel  viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.

2. Sardines (Omega 3-s)

Eating canned or fresh sardines for your lunch  is one of the easiest ways to get your essential  omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA).

Studies show that regularly eating  omega 3-s from oily fish can extend  the human lifespan by up to 5 years.

Omega 3-s from sardines strengthen the membranes  around the trillions of cells in your body, whilst also lowering inflammation and protecting  your arteries from becoming  stiff, thickened and clogged.

Eating oily fish regularly can also help  to keep your joints flexible as you age.

Other great sources include wild salmon,  Atlantic mackerel, and virgin cod liver oil.

3. Broccoli Sprouts (Sulforaphane)

It is highly recommended to start growing  your own organic broccoli sprouts at home,  and sprinkling them over your  salad or cooked vegetables.

These are some of the most powerful  anti-cancer foods on the planet  as they are rich in sulforaphane,  which blocks the mutations of DNA, Compared to mature broccoli, the sprouts  contain up to 100x more sulforaphane.

Your liver needs lots of sulfur to produce  glutathione, the "master antioxidant" that  protects the body against oxidation from  toxins, chemicals, food additives, drugs etc…

Other great sources of sulfur  include garlic, onions,  cruciferous vegetables and pasture raised eggs.

4. Beef Liver (Retinol & CoQ10)

Grass fed beef liver is one of the most  nutrient dense foods that you can eat,  as it is an organ that naturally stores nutrients.

In particular this organ meat is loaded  with retinol, the active form of Vitamin A  that supports smooth elastic skin, healthy  eyesight and a strong immune system.

Beef liver is also loaded with CoQ10,  one of the most powerful antioxidants  needed by every single cell in  your body, especially your heart.

It's recommended to eat up to 7oz  of pan-fried beef liver per week.

If you don't like the taste you can have  it ground and mixed with regular beef,  make this into a burger patty or eat it as a pâté.

Don't worry about beef liver storing  toxins, it actually doesn’t. It's job  is to process them and make them safe,  so there is no need to avoid liver.

5. Eggs (Lecithin)

Pasture raised eggs contain all the building  blocks of life including proteins, amino acids,  vitamins and minerals that are  all essential for the human body, and protecting against the catabolic breakdown  of your muscles, skin, hair and nails.

Eggs are one of the best natural  sources of lecithin in particular,  a group of fats that are essential  to cells in the human body.

Eggs also contain choline, a substance needed  by your liver and gallbladder to make bile,  the liquid that cleans toxins out of your  body and helps to maintain a healthy weight.

So if you're looking to keep the pounds off,  whilst keeping your muscles strong consider  eating 2 high quality pasture raised  eggs per day, especially as you age.

6. Swiss Chard (Carotenoids & Minerals)

The human body is evolved  omnivorous, meaning that we  need a range of nutrients from both plants  and animals to support a healthy body.

Most people do not consume enough raw leafy  green vegetables to meet these requirements,  which causes us to have problems with blood  pressure, oxidation and general  weakness throughout the system.

I recommend eating some of the more powerful  and nutrient dense vegetables like Swiss chard,  arugula, radish, watercress and broccoli  to fight the effects of aging in your body.

In particular Swiss chard is loaded with  carotenoids (lutein & zeaxanthin) which  protect the cells in your eyes as you get  older, along with the tissues of your heart.

They are also loaded with potassium,  magnesium, calcium and other key minerals  needed to support hormone balance  and a healthy cardiovascular system.

7. Shellfish (Zinc)

Once or twice per week eat a selection  of shellfish like mussels, oysters,  clams, crab meat etc..

These are loaded with trace minerals,  especially zinc which promotes the collagen  and elastin production for healthy skin,  reduces wrinkles and reduces amyloid plaquing  in the brain for better cognitive function.

I recommend soaking your shellfish in  a little apple cider vinegar for 20  minutes before eating them. The acetic  acid in the vinegar helps your stomach  absorb the minerals from the shellfish  and also adds a delicious flavour.

8. Sunflower Seeds (Vitamin E)

As you age, the pituitary gland in your  brain gradually starts to become smaller.

This can cause you to release  less pituitary hormones and as  a result your hormones may become out  of balance which causes advanced aging.

Eating sunflower seeds  regularly supplies Vitamin E,  a powerful fat soluble nutrient  that protects the pituitary gland.

Vitamin E from sunflower seeds can also  majorly reduce the development of wrinkles  and it protects the skin against  sun damage, oxidation and scars.

9. Olive Oil (Oleuropein & Oleocanthal)

If you really want to protect  yourself from advanced aging,  it's important to cut out the  inflammatory vegetable oils, Such as corn, cottonseed, canola, soybean,  rapeseed oils and margarine. These  are highly inflammatory and cause  your skin to age at a rapid rate.

Instead it's recommend to start eating  extra virgin olive oil a regular basis,  to supply Vitamin E, and also oleuropein and  oleocanthal. These all work together  to fight oxidation within the body.

Many 'extra virgin' olive oils  on supermarket shelves are fake,  and have been blended with other oils.

Make sure to check the bottle for  its origin and it should have a  fruity/grassy smell that irritates the  back of your throat if it is genuine.

10. Mushrooms (Ergothioneine)

To protect the DNA inside your cells from  damage, and lower the risk of developing  cancer with age, it's highly recommended  to start eating mushrooms regularly.

King oyster, maitake, shiitake mushrooms are all  rich in an sulfur-containing amino  acid called ergothioneine, which has  been shown to protect the mitochondria  in the cells against oxidative damage.

So slice these thinly and add  to your salads, stir fries,  soups and steak sauces to improve your longevity.

11. Herbs & Spices (Antioxidants)

Herbs and spices have been shown  to contain thousands of anti-aging  phytonutrients that science is  barely scratching the surface of.

Many of which have been used for  thousands of years to fight off  ailments and invigorate the  body with youth and energy.

Start eating more turmeric, thyme, cinnamon,  peppermint, rosemary, oregano, cloves and sumac.

These ingredients are some of  the highest antioxidant sources  in the world to protect your entire  body against free radical damage.

Now that you’ve learned about these anti-aging foods I just want to mention a couple  of important issues to be aware of.

Many fruits and vegetables on the commercial  market are grown heavily in pesticides and  chemicals which can reduce the  level of nutrients in the food.

For this reason it is recommended to  eat organic non-GMO foods when possible.

You should also opt for grass fed,  pasture raised and organic cuts of meat,  as these contain a higher  omega 3 fatty acid profile.

Many conventional meats, especially in  the US are grown in a very poor GMO corn  fed diet which causes the meat to be  higher in inflammatory omega 6 fats.

How To Live, Feel & Look Younger With this being said, Now I want to share with you  6 important lifestyle tips to follow if  you want to live, feel and look younger.

1. Get more sleep to boost the amount  of melatonin your brain produces. This  acts as an antioxidant and helps to  protect your brain as you get older. Go to bed an hour earlier,  turn off your devices and give yourself  time to wind down before you sleep.

Boosting melatonin also helps to protect your  muscles and lungs from weakening with age,  by balancing a hormone called cortisol.

2. Start eating all of your food in  a strict 5 hour window and fast for  the remaining 19 hours per day. This  promotes autophagy, a process where  your body recycles old damaged proteins into  new useable parts, especially in your brain.

Fasting also boosts antioxidants from your  liver to counter glycation and 'sticky blood'.

3. Exercise regularly by taking long gentle  walks, and performing high intensity interval  training. These activities can boost human growth  hormone, the main anti-aging hormone that protects  against cellular damage. This makes you look  younger, feel younger and have stronger joints.

4. Cut out inflammatory foods as much  as possible, including vegetable oils,  sugar, grains, and wheat based  foods (breads, cereals, biscuits  etc..) Replace these with the nutritious  foods talked about in today's article .

5. Drink at least 1 litre of mineral water  per day. You may add a scoop of electrolyte  powder (which contains potassium citrate,  magnesium citrate and calcium lactate).  

The water and the minerals will hydrate your  body, promoting the flow of blood to all of  your vital organs and skin, carrying oxygen and  nutrients to keep the body young and healthy.

6. Get outside as much as possible. Homosapiens  evolved in Africa and require infrared light  from the sun, vitamin D, essential oils  from trees, fresh air and exercise to  maintain a fully functioning body. 

Brain Damaging FoodsTo Avoid

As we get older different parts of the brain start  to shrink which can cause issues like memory loss,   slower learning, and nerve damage. (And problems with nerve transmission) Unfortunately there are also many foods that are to toxic to  the brain which can speed up the aging process, triggering a higher risk of  Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Sleeping problems like sleep apnoea, strokes, hypoxia and many other issues.

Today we'll be talking about  the top 10 brain damaging foods,  so that you can avoid these in  order to protect your brain.

At the end, I'll also share some simple lifestyle tips that  you can use to help boost your brain function. Just a quick reminder, this article is for educational purposes only  so do speak to a doctor if  you have any medical problems.

1. Fish High In Mercury.

The first brain damaging  food to avoid is fish that are high in mercury. Larger fish that are higher on the food chain  

tend to accumulate high amounts  of mercury. (biomagnification). Mercury poisons the cerebellum  and the cerebral cortex,  kills brain cells (neurons) and  causes long-term nerve damage.

The fish containing the most mercury are Bluefish,  catfish, Grouper, Mackerel, Orange Roughy,  Shark, Swordfish and Big Eye/Ahi Tuna.

Eat these rarely (less than once  per month) to avoid toxicity. 

To help detox the extra mercury in your body,  consume cilantro, chlorella  and walnuts on a regular basis. (as these contain natural  ingredients that bind to mercury)

Healthier fish that contain much less mercury  include wild caught cod, anchovies,  salmon, sardines, oysters and herring.

2. Green Potatoes.

The second item  on my list is green potatoes. Green potatoes contain high amounts of solanine,  this a natural pesticide that the plant  makes to protect itself from insects.

However, in humans solanine  has a neuro-toxic effect.  

Eating this causes nausea, headaches  and serious neurological problems.

Eating only 1 whole green potato is  enough to make an adult very sick.  

Larger amounts can cause hallucinations,  paralysis, fever, and even death.

(Be aware that) cooking green potatoes does not remove  the harmful substance, so throw them away.

3. Vegetable Oils.

Number 3 may be  surprising you, it's vegetable oil. Some of the most dangerous foods that we often  take in on a daily basis are  cooked with vegetable oils, Such as corn, canola, soy, safflower,  cottonseed, processed olive oil and margarine.

These oils are rich in omega 6 fatty acids,   and cause massive amounts of  inflammation to your brain and also raise the risk of  diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Be careful as they are used in fast foods,  microwavable meals, frozen packaged foods  and it's even hidden in salad dressings.

I recommend cooking your own healthy meals at home  using raw coconut oil, extra virgin  olive oil or cold pressed avocado oil.

Raw coconut oil contains MCT's which  can stimulate healing in the brain  and improve connections between neurons.

4. Iron Fortified Foods.

Coming back now to  number 4, which is iron foritfied foods. In the USA/UK many foods containing wheat and  flour have been fortified with elemental iron.

This type of iron is toxic for the body and causes  a rusting effect in the brain (oxidative damage).

This raises the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's  disease and poor brain development in children.

It’s advisable to avoid grains as much as  possible, and instead eat iron rich meats,  wild fish, whole fruits and vegetables  to meet your nutritional needs.

Heme-iron found in animal products  is naturally bound to protein,  making it stable and healthy for your body, as opposed to the elemental iron used in fortified  foods and cheap over the counter supplements.

5. Sugar.

Although it may be obvious,  number 5 is actually one of the most  destructive foods of all, sugar. Foods that are high in carbohydrates  are converted into sugar in the body. This has  the same negative effect as eating pure sugar.

For example a slice of bread is  comparable to eating 3 cubes of sugar.

Foods like rice, honey, sweetened drinks,  pastries, bread, cereal bars and biscuits  are all high on the glycaemic index.

These cause a spike in blood sugar, which  triggers anxiety, depression, mood disorders,  insulin resistance and destroys  parts of the nervous system.

To keep your brain fuelled and energised, avoid  these foods and eat healthy fats like avocados,  grass fed butter and almonds. These will  satisfy you can get rid of sugar cravings.

I understand that there is lots of  information in this video to take in,  so feel free to pause, rewind  and take notes if you need to.

6. Cherry Pits.

Cherries are loaded with antioxidants  that are healthy for your body,  but make sure that you remove the hard  stone inside them before eating them.

The pit inside the cherry contains  prussic acid, also known as cyanide.

This is poisonous to your  brain and can cause headaches  because it prevents the cells  in your body from using oxygen.

Too much cyanide can cause death.

Eating 1 or 2 seeds accidentally won't harm you,  but try not to chew them and remember  to remove them before eating.

7. Alcohol.

Drinking alcoholic drinks on a daily basis  actively damages dendrites (neuron  endings) in your brain and nervous system.

This makes it difficult for brain  cells to send messages to one another,  causing brain fog and memory loss.

Alcohol also causes a Vitamin B1  (thiamine) deficiency over time  which can cause anxiety, nerve pain, neuropathy,  restless legs, vision loss and sleep apnea.

Cut out the alcohol and save  it for special occasions.  

You also start eating nutritional yeast to  help heal your brain from alcohol damage. As this is good source of Vitamin B1.

8. Glycated Proteins.

Whenever you mix a fat/protein  with sugar and consume it,  it causes sticky proteins to build  up in your body called (A.G.E's).

An example of this would be eating  a burger covered in ketchup or doughnuts which are made  of butter, flour and sugar, Pizza with sweetened sauces  and, cheese and meats on top and ice cream which is loaded  with, milk sugar, fat and protein.

When you mix sugar with these foods,  especially under heat these sticky proteins  begin to form which can stick to your nerves, damaging your brain and blocking the  normal signals from flowing through them.

They also cause you to lose collagen  and your body ages at a faster rate.

Eating antioxidant rich foods like blueberries,  leafy green vegetables and salads can help to  reduce inflammation in the brain tissue  and clean out these harmful proteins.

9. Soda Drinks.

The 9th food to avoid is soda. If you want to truly protect your brain  as you age, you will want to cut out the  soda in the drinks as much as possible,  including both diet and regular varieties.

Soda drinks contain phosphoric acid which  prevents the growth of mould or bacteria in them.  

The problem with this is that too much blocks  your body from absorbing calcium and magnesium.

A deficiency in these minerals prevents  the mitochondria from generating  energy in the brain cells. The neurons  start to become deprived of energy,  which causes a loss of density in the synapses.

People who drink lots of soda will notice  that they have poor sleeping patterns,  memory loss, poor learning and brain fog.

Regular soda drinks are loaded with fructose  as a sweetener, which inflicts liver damage,  and insulin resistance that causes  the brain to starve of fuel.

Diet soda drinks are sweetened  with artificial sweeteners  like aspartame which crosses the blood  brain barrier and blocks neurotransmitters.

These have been linked to the  higher rates of depression,  mood disorders and an increased  risk of stroke and dementia.

10. Nutmeg.

Nutmeg is a spice that's made  from the seeds of the nutmeg tree,  and is a key ingredient used in eggnog,  lasagne, mulled wine and many other baked goods.

Although it’s delicious, it’s important that  you don’t take too much of this into your body,  as it contains a toxin called myristicin.

Eating as little as 2 teaspoons of nutmeg can  cause toxic effects such as fever, increased heart  rate and blood pressure, hallucinations,  drowsiness and loss of consciousness.

As you can see eating the wrong foods too often  can have a damaging effect on your brain. Although you may not notice  these effects straight away,  people start to experience symptoms as they  get older such as dementia, stokes etc. You can start by cutting back on some  of these foods and replace them with  healthy (whole food) alternatives. Improving Brain Health.

Now that you are aware of some  of worst foods for your brain,  let's explore a few lifestyle tips that  you can use to improve brain function.

1. Start consuming at least 1 litre of mineral  water each day. This helps to carry oxygen  and nutrients to your brain, clears out toxins  and waste, improving concentration and memory.

2. To help stimulate the growth of new brain  cells (neurogenesis) start intermittent fasting.  

This is where you eat all of your  calories for the day in a 4 hour window  and fast for the remaining 20 hours. This stimulates BDNF,  helping to repair the DNA of your brain  cells and improves electrical communication.

3. Get at least 10 minutes of high  intensity exercise 2x per week.  Aerobic exercise promotes blood flow  to the brain, boosting oxygen levels.

4. Take 1-2 teaspoons of MCT after your first meal  of the day. This provides ketones, a powerful fuel  for your brain that bypasses damaged tissue  and helps improve overall brain function.

5. Get at least 8 hours of sleep per  night, to improve memory function,  spatial navigation and decision making.

Take naps if you need to, or use herbs  like rhodiola to improve sleep quality.

Following these 5 key steps and avoiding many  of the junk foods mentioned in this article ,  will rapidly improve the health of your brain,  and help protect it against age related diseases.

The Healthiest Foods With No Carbs and Sugar

Hello guys welcome back to another intresting topic today. Kindly read this article to an end in order for  you to familiarize with it so lets begin. A list of healthy foods with no carbs and no sugar in your diet is very important thing to consider.

If you want to lose weight and get healthy, it's important to lower the amount of carbohydrates that you eat.

Junk foods are high in processed carbohydrates and refined sugars.

These have been proven to cause inflammation throughout the body.

Such as in your liver, which then produces more body fat. (Eating too many of these)

Over time this leads to a great range of illnesses, such as diabetes, weight gain, obesity, nerve damage, heart attacks, strokes and many more problems.

Today I will share with you a list of the top 12 healthy foods which contain very low carbs and sugars (less than 3g). Eating these to replace junk foods will bring in lots of nutrients to your body and allow to heal naturally. Just my usual reminder, this article  is for educational purposes only, so do speak to your doctor if you have any medical problems.

1. Eggs (0.6g Carbs, Per Egg).

Pasture raised eggs contain all the building blocks of life and contain only trace amounts of carbs within them.

Eggs are a great of source choline and lecithin which can break down fat inside your liver and help to you lose weight.

They are also rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals which help the body's cells to heal and grow.

Eat 2-4 eggs on a daily basis to boost your nutrition.

These will keep you full, feeling focused and massively reduce cravings for snacks and junk food.

2. Kale (0g Digestible Carbs).

Organic kale is one of the most nutrient dense superfoods on the planet.

This leafy green vegetable contains 2x Vitamin C than oranges, more calcium than milk, and more potassium than bananas.

Start eating this lightly steamed as a side dish or blended into smoothies daily to see some major health improvements in your body. It contains no starches or sugars, only healthy forms of fiber.

3. Red Meats (0g Carbs).

Choose high quality, grass fed animal meats such as beef, lamb and organ meats.

These are essential blood building sources of protein that are rich in bioavailable iron and vitamin B12. (they contain no carbohydrates)

They are needed for the development of strong healthy muscles and to provide energy to the body.

4.Cheese (0.4g Carbs, Per 1oz).

Cheese is one of the healthiest sources of fat soluble nutrients such as Vitamins A, E, D and K2.

Eating this helps calcium to be absorbed into your bones, teeth and nails.

It also contains healthy fatty acids and proteins which can improve brain health and concentration levels.

Make sure that your cheese is high quality, from grass fed cows/goats.

I recommend cheddar, camembert, halloumi, brie, goats cheese and mozzarella.

5. Pecan Nuts (1g Net Carbs, per 1oz).

Pecans contain a very low amount of net carbs, but contain high amounts of soluble fiber which helps to control your blood sugars.

Pecans are rich in zinc, copper, Vitamin b1, and monounsaturated fat which will keep you feeling satisfied and less likely to crave junk foods when losing weight.

Eat a small handful of these after a meal, or chop them up and mix with sugar free dark chocolate 70%.

6. Cauliflower & Cruciferous (0g Digestible Carbs).

When improving your health or losing weight it's 100% essential that you load up on leafy greens in the cruciferous family like cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, bok choy, arugula, and collard greens.

These are densely packed full of phytochemicals that help your liver to remove toxins from your body.

You need to eat these to meet your potassium and magnesium needs, two essential minerals that help lower insulin resistance so that you can burn fat at a rapid rate.

7. Wild Salmon (0-0.1g Carbs, Per 3oz).

When following a low carb diet, oily fish are some of the best natural sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids that you can eat.

Omega 3-s from wild salmon, sardines, mackerel and anchovies lower inflammation throughout your body and reverse oxidative damage caused by eating sugary food sin the past.

Make sure to avoid the farmed fish however as these contain toxic antibiotics, synthetic food colouring agents and are fed a very poor diet, making them low in nutrients.

8. Butter (0.1g Carbs Per 100g).

Pure butter than has not been blended with vegetable oil is one of the healthiest sources of retinol to protect and rejuvenate your eyes, skin and hair.

It has a bad reputation, however the cholesterol in butter is essential for your body to build hormones like insulin, estrogen, testosterone or cortisol, which are all needed in balance to help you lose weight.

Start cooking your foods in REAL butter instead of inflammatory oils to help strengthen you bones with calcium, to minimise your cravings, and also help your gallbladder release bile which will help to break down fat.

9. Sauerkraut (0.1g Net Carbs, Per 1oz).

Sauerkraut is a form of fermented cabbage and is one of the richest sources of Vitamin c and probiotics in the world.

You can eat this 2-3 times per week to boost the amount of friendly bacteria in your body, helping to support gut health and lower your blood sugars for weight loss.

It's very easy to digest for those with digestive problems like acid reflux, ibs, crohn's, diverticulitis. The prebiotic fiber will feed the cells in your colon to heal any damage.

10. Avocados (0-4g) & Olive Oil (0g) .

Avocados and extra virgin olive oil.

When cutting out carbs and sugar, you'll definitely want to add more healthy fats into your diet, to help control your appetite.

Avocados are one of the most nutrient dense foods in the world, and are rich in monounsaturated fats which provide fuel and energy to your cells.

They are also rich in potassium, magnesium and Avocatin B, all of which improve hormone balance, insulin resistance and help your body metabolise and burn fat.

Similarly, extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest cooking ingredients.

It's loaded with anti-inflammatory chemicals like oleocanthal and oleuropein which can get rid of pain, swelling, joint pain, inflammation and improve the health of your liver.

11. Nutritional Yeast

When you're on a diet or your exercising heavily, your body uses up its B-vitamins to help break down your stored fat and turn it into energy.

This can leave you depleted, causing you to feel weaker, tired and it can even trigger anxiety and mood disorders in some people.

Start consuming 1-2 tablespoons of unfortified nutritional yeast daily.

This is rich in the B-Vitamin complex and will help to fix your metabolism, lower cortisol (stress), and support heathy weight loss.

12. Herbs (0g) & Spices (1-3g) Carbs, Per Tsp.

To heal any ailment or to lose weight, eat freshly chopped herbs in salads on a daily basis.

Some of the best are mint, basil, parsley, oregano, cilantro, dill, rosemary and thyme.

These do not contain any starches, but are packed full of healing antioxidants and phytonutrients that support weight loss and blood sugar management.

Likewise I also recommend spices, like turmeric, cinnamon, coriander seeds, black pepper and ginger.

These are some of the nature's most powerful natural healers which help to repair the liver, the pancreas, and the digestive organs.

Spices contain a very tiny amount of carbs, but you don’t need much to get the benefits and give your meals a delicious flavour.

What's interesting about nature, is that the foods that are healthiest for you often have the most vibrant tastes and flavours.

Here's a quick summary of some of foods that I've talked about today.

Eating a mixture of these foods to replace carbohydrates will quickly help your body

to burn fat at a rapid rate, and also trigger healing at the cellular level.

It's important that you avoid the conventional cheap meats and farmed fish which are pumped full of hormones, antibiotics are fed GMO grains.

You want to choose high quality grass fed and grass finished meats, wild caught fish, pasture raised eggs and dairy produce.

Also, choose organic vegetables and leafy greens, that have not been sprayed with harmful pesticides that can damage your liver.

Losing Weight Fast.

If your' goal is to lose weight there are some simple tricks and techniques that you can also use to help turn your body into a fat burning machine.

1. Perform intermittent fasting at least 2-4 days per week. Eat all of your calories and food in a shorter window of time. You do this in a 5 hour window, and allow your body 19 hours to fast.

Fasting makes your cells more sensitive to insulin, allowing more energy, fat and fuel to be burned so that you can lose weight faster.

Fasting also stimulates autophagy, your bodies way of cleaning out damaged cells, recycling them to build new healthy parts.

2. Start taking a digestive enzyme supplement before each meal. Choose a brand which contains bile, pancreatin and betaine hcl. These ingredients help your gallbladder and your pancreas to release bile and enzymes that break down fat, and clean out your digestive system.

3. Avoid all starchy, sugary and processed carbohydrates like bread, cereal, pasta, rice, biscuits, potatoes, soda, doughnuts etc.. These foods raise your insulin and blood sugars, which prevent you from losing weight.

4. Eat lots of healthy fats that I've already talked about today, like avocados, eggs, EVOO, and raw coconut oil. These help your body to switch from burning glucose (sugar) to burning body fat (adipose tissue).

5. Keep your stress levels low, because stress hormones (cortisol) makes you gain weight. Taking long walks in nature, getting more sleep and deep breathing exercise can all be used to minimise stress, which helps balance hormones.

6. Drink at least 1 litre of a good quality mineral water each day, avoiding tap water as this can contain unhealthy forms of estrogen that promote weight gain.

Choose a bottled brand which comes from a natural source rich in minerals.

I personally drink Evian, San Pellegrino and Fiji water, but there many brands out there to choose from.So do you know any other healthiest food with no curb and sugar? Feel free to share with us on the comment section below also don't forget to share this article out.

Foods To Reduce Uric Acid Level

Welcome all back! Uric acid is a natural chemical found in your blood, that your body makes when you consume certain foods, such as meat and shellfish, fruit sugars, beer and alcohol.

In normal amounts, uric acid is very healthy for the body and works as an antioxidant, helping to protect your cells against free radical damage.

However many people suffer from high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) which can cause problems in the body.

Symptoms Of High Uric Acid Such as gout - a type of arthritis where uric acid crystals form inside the joints, causing severe pain, especially in your big toe.

High uric acid can also lead to high blood pressure, because it lowers nitric oxide levels in your blood and weakens the walls of your arteries.

You may also develop uric acid kidney stones or kidney disease as a result of high uric acid

In most people 70% of uric acid is filtered out by their kidneys and passed through the urine and 30% of it is filtered out in the gut and passed through the stool.

However some people have difficulty breaking down the uric acid, so it tends to recirculate through the blood, (triggering problems like gout and the others I just mentioned)

If you have this problem, it's very important to start cutting back on beer, and fructose in particular as these appear to be the main triggers of high uric acid.

Alcohol changes the function of your kidneys, and makes them less able to filter uric acid from the blood.

Whilst fructose, a sugar used in over 80% of packaged foods damages the gut and intestines, leading to a build-up of uric acid.

Fortunately however, there are also many different foods that can eat to help your gut and kidneys to filter out uric acid.

Today, we will explore the top 10 foods that reduce uric acid levels in the blood naturally, to prevent gout attacks, kidney problems and high blood pressure.

1. Celery (Luteolin).

When it comes to lowering uric acid in the body, celery is undoubtedly one of the best foods that you can eat.

Celery stalks, seeds and especially the leaves contain high amounts of luteolin, a natural compound that helps to lower uric acid.

It works by blocking an enzyme called xanthine oxidase, which produces uric acid in the body from purines that you eat from foods like meat and seafood.

Celery also contains other phytonutrients (3-n-butylphthalide (3nB) & beta-selinene) which have been shown to reduce inflammation in the joints to prevent gout attacks.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar (Acetic Acid).

Start drinking 1 tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, mixed in a glass of water before your meals.

This liquid contains malic acid which helps the body to break down and eliminate uric acid, whilst also improving digestion.

This is one of the best foods to help control your blood sugars and reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.

3. Lemon & Lime (Vitamin C).

Most people who have gout, or high uric acid levels, have urine that is a little too acidic.

In order to help your kidneys filter out uric acid, you can start to consume foods that alkalize the urine such as lemons and limes.

I recommend blending 1 whole organic, unwaxed lemon in water using the seeds, pith, fruit and peel entirely.

Drink this daily to improve your uric acid profile.

These fruits are very low in sugar but they contain citrates and alkaline minerals like potassium citrate which raises the Ph of the kidneys, and helps them to break down uric acid.

4. Garlic (Inulin).

New research shows that certain microbes in the Lactobacillus and Pseudomonas families help to break down and eliminate uric acid in the intestines.

These are friendly microbes that are an essential part of the microbiome.

People with high uric acid were shown to have significantly less of these microbes present in their digestive system.

Garlic is one of the best foods that you can eat to repair and restore your microbiome, as its rich in prebiotics that feed these friendly microbes.

It also contains allicin and other compounds that destroy harmful microbes in order to restore the balance in your gut, so that you may excrete more uric acid.

5. Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamaldehyde).

Start consuming cinnamon powder in your stir fries, your drinks and your cooking to help lower inflammation in your joints, and also reduce uric acid.

Cinnamon is a spice that comes from the bark of Cinnamomum trees.

Studies show that it contains Cinnamaldehyde which help to naturally inhibit xanthine oxidase, the enzyme that produces uric acid in your body.

Cinnamon is also excellent for reducing high blood pressure and high blood sugars, as it helps to normalise the insulin hormone.

6. Virgin Cod Liver Oil (DHA & EPA) If you have gout or uric acid crystals in your joints, your doctor may recommend that you cut back on certain types of seafood that are high in purines, like sardines, shellfish and also organ meats.

However, virgin cod liver oil is one of the healthiest liquids to use if you have high

uric acid, as it helps to lower inflammation throughout the body and reduce gout flare ups and attacks.

The DHA and EPA (Omega 3-s) found in Virgin Cod Liver Oil, help to heal any damage in your gut or kidneys that could be contributing to high uric acid.

It's recommended to take 1 teaspoon of Icelandic, Virgin, Cod Liver oil on a daily basis to not only lower uric acid, but also reduce stiffness in your joints.

7. Tart Cherry Juice (Quercetin).

Most fruit juices are extremely high in fructose which is linked to higher uric acid levels.

For this reason, it's very important to stop drinking these juices as they are extremely unhealthy and do not contain the fiber needed to help buffer the sugars.

However tarte cherry juice is an exception, as it contains an extremely low amount of fructose but contains some powerful healing phytonutrients, such as chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol.

All of these have been shown to help the body eliminate uric acid by inhibiting xanthine oxidase.

8. Mineral Water (with Electrolytes).

It's also very important to hydrate your body by drinking at least 2 litres of mineral water each day if you suffer with high uric acid, or gout.

Drinking at least this amount helps to flush the kidneys, in order to clear out the uric acid and other biproducts that are made by your metabolism.

However drinking too much water can deplete your mineral reserves.

It's recommended to add a scoop of high quality electrolyte powder to your water which contains alkaline minerals like potassium citrate, magnesium citrate and calcium lactate.

These minerals help to alkalize your urine in order to help the kidneys eliminate uric acid.

9.Sauerkraut (Probiotics).

People with high uric acid tend to have an altered microbiome, and usually have a higher risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease.

For this reason it's important to start loading up on probiotic and prebiotic rich foods to boost the friendly microbes that live in your gut.

Sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles and other fermented vegetables help to colonise your large intestine with friendly microbes.

These then produce short chain fatty acids which reduce inflammation, lower uric acid levels and help to prevent you from getting a painful, swollen, big toe (gout).

10. Black & Green Tea (Gallic Acid).

Both black and green tea come from the camellia sinesis plant, and both contain gallic acid which can help to reduce uric acid in the body.

However, it's important not to consume more than 2-3 cups of tea per day, as it does contain a high amount of caffeine which can deplete your B1 and affect your blood sugars.

I recommend keeping your tea and coffee to 1-2 cups in the morning.

You can also drink nettle tea, hibiscus, and lemon balm tea to help lower inflammation in your joints, balance your stress hormones and help to normalise your blood pressure.

Here's a quick summary of the foods and drinks that we have talked about today for lowering uric acid Celery, Including Stalks, Leaves and Seeds Apple Cider Vinegar In Water Whole Limes & Lemons Garlic Cassia Cinnamon Virgin Cod Liver Oil Tart Cherry Juice Mineral Water Sauerkraut & Fermented Veggies Black Tea, Green Tea, and Herbal Teas.

Lifestyle Tips To Reduce Uric Acid & Gout

Now that you've learned about what foods to eat, let's take a look at some other lifestyle changes you can make to get your uric acid and gout under control.

1. Reduce your intake of fructose, sugar and HFCS from fruit juices, table sauces (i.e ketchup), soda drinks, jams, syrups, sweets, beer, and junk foods.

Fructose and alcohol are the main triggers for extra uric acid production.

2. Hydrate your body by drinking at least 2 litres of mineral water per day, and adding a scoop of electrolyte powder which contains potassium citrate and magnesium citrate.

These help to alkalize your urine and kidneys, to break down and flush out uric acid.

3. Reduce your intake of fructose from sweet fruits (apples, oranges, grapes etc…) Replace these with fruits that contain less sugar like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, passionfruit and lemons.

If you prefer you can simply avoid fruits and eat lots of raw vegetables to get your plant based nutrients.

4. If you are prone to gout attacks and uric acid crystals in the joints, keep some devils claw root extract in your home.

This is a potent anti-inflammatory herb that can be used to relieve symptoms of a gout attack, by helping to stop the immune reaction that takes place in your big toe or other joints.

5. Avoid high purine foods like shellfish, organ meats, game meats, seafood, asparagus, peas and spinach.

Replace your proteins with chicken, beef, pork or lamb (grass fed, organic of course).

6. Eat as many the foods listed in today's video on a regular basis to help your intestine and kidneys eliminate excess uric acid.

Some people are genetically predisposed to gout, so you will need to focus on keeping your uric acid down in the future long term.If you find this article useful please don't forget to share it out.Bye

Foods That Prevents And Fight Cancer

Hello guys welcome back.Todays topic is foods that prevents and fight cancer so lets go in to it. Cancer is a disease where the DNA and  genes inside your cells get damaged, causing the cells start mutating  and growing uncontrollably.

Unlike healthy cells, cancer  cells become immortal and start   spreading at a rapid rate throughout the body, using up your nutrients and burning  through your sugar reserves.

As the cells mutate they form tumours causing  cancer in different areas like your bowels,  liver, pancreas or lungs for example.

Cancerous cells also destroy your nerves,  your blood vessels and your  organs and eventually cause death. But the question is what damages your  DNA and cells in the first place?

One of the main causes is refined  sugar that’s often added to our foods,  as this causes free radical damage to  the mitochondria inside your cells.

Another type of sugar that raises the risk  of cancer is high fructose corn syrup,  also used to manufacture sweets,  juice drinks, sauces and fast foods and even artificial sweeteners  used in diet soda like aspartame   damage the insulin receptors in your  cells which can also lead to cancer.

Refined vegetable oils are also carcinogenic, processed grans and flour that depletes your  antioxidants, opening up the risk of DNA damage

Also the chemical pesticides and weed killers used  to grow our produce is also harmful to your cells.

Along with smoking, vaping, alcohol,  and other pollutants that we breathe in.

(Although we have all been exposed these  things we are fortunate that there) Fortunately there are natural foods  that contain healing properties,  which help to prevent your  cells becoming cancerous.

Just a quick reminder, this article  is for educational purposes only,  so do speak to your doctor for a medical  diagnosis if you have any health concerns.

1. Raw Garlic.

Eating crushed, raw garlic on a regular basis can  help to block the growth of  cancerous cells in your body.

It contains natural chemicals such as  ajoene, allicin and sulfur which boosts  antioxidant activity in your body, protecting  your cells, mitochondria and DNA from damage.

Allicin in garlic has also  been shown to cause existing  cancer cells to self-destruct and die (apoptosis).

It's important that you crush  your garlic to activate allicin,  and make sure that you don’t cook it,  as heat destroys this delicate compound.

2. Broccoli Sprouts.

Broccoli sprouts are 2-3  day old microgreens which are  sprouted from broccoli seeds.

They are rich in an anti-cancer  chemical called sulforaphane,  which causes cancer cells to commit suicide,  but leaves your healthy cells in-tact.

Broccoli sprouts contain 100x more sulforaphane than fully grown broccoli.

Studies show that when you eat more sulforaphane,  your liver produces more enzymes that break  down toxins and chemicals in your body. (that could have cause cancer in the long term) You can start growing these  very easily at home using an  inexpensive sprouting kit on your windowsill.

You can also use cauliflower, radish,  arugula or wheatgrass seeds, as these too  are packed full of anti-cancer compounds.

I recommend adding them on  the top cooked vegetables,  as the enzymes within help your stomach  absorb more nutrients from the cooked foods. Or you can simply toss them into a healthy salad.

3. Blueberries.

Start eating a small handful  of blueberries every single  day to improve your overall health  and strengthen your immune system.

Blueberries and other berries contain  plant pigments called anthocyanins,  giving them their black/purple/reddish color.

Anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that  protect your cells from free radical damage,   that occurs from the sugar,  junk foods, vegetable oils etc.

If you want to protect your body from damage,  or heal from any medical conditions you need   to focus on eating foods rich in  antioxidants every single day.

Other anti-cancerous berries include  bilberries, blackberries, strawberries,  gooseberries and acai berry, some of which  can be taken as a powdered supplement.

4. Sauerkraut.

Sauerkraut is a type of fermented  cabbage often consumed in Germany,  and is one of the richest sources  of Vitamin C in the world.

1 cup contains an enormous 700mg of Vitamin C,  that's over 8x the minimum daily requirements.

Cancer often spreads into areas of  inflammation and swelling in your body,  where your tissues are inflamed.

Vitamin C however helps to  lower this inflammation,  and remove free radicals in your blood  in order to reduce the risk of cancer.

It's important that you eat foods  rich in the REAL Vitamin C complex,  as 'ascorbic acid' supplements do not  have the same effect as whole foods.

I recommend eating a serving  of sauerkraut 3x per week.

As it's fermented, it's rich in prebiotics  and probiotics (friendly bacteria) that help  to feed your colon cells and prevent the  growth of polyps, tumours and bowel cancer.

Other excellent fermented foods are Plain Greek  yoghurt (full fat), kimchi, miso and kefir.

5. Cruciferous Vegetables.

Many of us have abused our bodies for years,  eating lots of junk food and  sugar and perhaps alcohol.

This can cause toxins to build  up inside the bones, the liver,  the tissues and other organs which can  raise your risk of cancer later in life.

Fortunately you can help your  body to start removing these  carcinogenic toxins by eating lots  of organic cruciferous vegetables.

Such as kale, cabbage, cauliflower,  brussels sprouts, broccoli, beet tops,  arugula, bok choy, collard  greens, watercress etc..

Vegetables in the brassica family like  these are packed full of anti-cancer  phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbnol, along with Vitamin C, potassium,  magnesium B-vitamins and much more. These nutrients help your liver  enzymes to break down toxins into  harmless water-soluble particles that  can be released through your urine.

This is called phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification.

Make sure that you don't overcook your  vegetables, you can lightly steam them but  it's best to eat them raw in a salad with other  veggies like tomatoes, spring onions, herbs etc.

6. Turmeric & Black Pepper.

Turmeric is one of the most well-known natural  medicines for lowering inflammation and  stimulating healing within the human body.

You can start adding powdered  turmeric to stir fries, curries,  soups, stews or it can be  used to make a herbal tea.

The active ingredient inside  turmeric is called curcumin,  and has been shown to prevent cancerous  tumours from growing new blood vessels.

This helps to starve cancer off cancer  cells and prevent them from spreading.

You should also add black pepper  whenever you eat turmeric,  as it contains piperine which can  help you absorb curcumin 2000% better.

7. Mushrooms.

In China mushrooms have been  used for centuries to help  fight off diseases and boost the immune  system against viruses and infections.

Since the 1970's in Japan and China,  certain plant chemicals are extracted  from mushrooms (PSP & PSK) and used as  part of a treatment plan for cancer.

Some of the best anti-cancer  mushrooms to eat are turkey tail,  cordyceps, chaga, lions mane, reishi and maitake.

These actually have over 40 different  phytonutrients that help to fight/prevent cancer,  such as quercetin, hispolon,  baicalein and many others.

8. Matcha Green Tea.

If you really want to improve the health of your  cells start consuming 2 cups of  matcha green tea on a daily basis.

Compared to regular green tea,  matcha contains more chlorophyll and has more  concentrated nutrients with healing properties.

One of its major compounds called EGCG,  has been shown to prevent cancer cells  from spreading from a tumour to other  tissues and organs throughout the body.

9. Wild Caught Fish.

Cancer usually forms and spreads to parts  of your body that are inflamed and damaged,  so it's important to keep  inflammation under control.

This will reduce the risk of developing  cancer and also help to fight against it.

Some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods  are wild fish like sardines, salmon and mackerel.

These fish are loaded with active Omega  3-fatty acids (DHA & EPA) which help to  bring down swelling and inflammation, in  order to protect against harmful cancer.

When following a medical plan for  cancer, it's important to eat these  often to help your body cope with the  chemotherapy drugs and medications.

You can take Antarctic Krill Oil as a supplement  (500mg) daily. This is rich in stable omega-3s  and also contains astaxanthin, a powerful  cancer fighting carotenoid and antioxidant.

10. Dark Chocolate (Sugar Free).

Cacao beans which are used to make chocolate are  packed full of antioxidants and phytonutrients  such as chlorogenic acid, that have also  been shown to ward off against cancer.

It actually contains more flavanols  than blueberries and acai, so adding  this to your rotation is a great way  to boost antioxidants in your body.

Make sure that you choose a  high percentage organic dark  chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)  sweetened with stevia, and not sugar.

Eating a couple of cubes per day can  help control blood pressure, help to  regulate cholesterol and also lower cortisol,  the stress hormone that makes you gain weight. 

Let's look at some additional foods that have  anti-cancer properties;

Black Seed Oil,

Red Algae

Sweet Wormwood,

Pumpkin seeds

Ginger

Celery

Walnuts

Oregano

Ashwagandha

Soursop

Other Ways To Prevent/Fight Cancer

Now that you have lots of information  about the foods that fight cancer,  let's explore a few important lifestyle tips  that use to protect and heal your cells.

1. Fasting for 48 hours or longer has  been used by many patients periodically  to reverse late stage cancer. When you  fast, IGF-1, glucose, insulin and other  growth factors are reduced, which helps  the body to heal and kill cancer cells.

2. Eating foods rich in soluble fiber like chia  seeds, feeds the friendly microbes in the gut  

which boosts the amount of butyrate in your body.  This lowers inflammation throughout the body,  and reduces oxidation, preventing DNA  damage within the cells and mitochondria.

3. Reduce processed meats from the diet,  stop eating foods cooked in vegetable oil,  and eliminate sugar from your body. This will help  to prevent free radical damage inside the cells.

4. Hydrate the body with at least 1 litre  mineral water daily, avoiding tap water  which contains hormone disruptors. You can  also add potassium citrate to your water,  which helps improve cell function,  and removes excess sugar in the blood.

5. Focus on eating organic, antioxidant rich  foods already discussed to stimulate cellular  healing. Add low glycaemic berries,  lemons, krill oil, nutritional yeast,  grass fed beef, organ meats  and sea kelp to your rotation.

6. Lastly, get 20 minutes of exercise at  least 2x per week. This increases oxygen  levels by 10-20x in the blood. Cancer cells  do not thrive in an oxygen rich environment.

Exercise outside when you can, as infrared  light from the sun can boost melatonin,  a powerful antioxidant. Also  be sure to quit smoking/vaping.
