𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 ㅤ Sugar has gotten a bad rap and for good reason. ㅤ It’s in almost every packaged food you pick up at the grocery store, and there seems to be quite a sugar addiction epidemic in the U.S. ㅤ If you don’t see the word “sugar” in the ingredients list, there is likely another form of it that you simply do not recognize. ㅤ It seems our taste buds have adapted to the desire to crave sugar, and if our food has not been sweetened with it, it doesn’t taste nearly as good to many people. ㅤ Taste buds can adapt so you don’t crave all that sugar. ㅤ The American Heart Association recommends most American women consume no more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day. ㅤ For men, it’s no more than 9 teaspoons of added sugar per day. ㅤ Children do not need so much sugar, yet it’s in everything. Sugar consumption for children should not go beyond 3 teaspoons of added sugar per day. ㅤ Reducing sugar intake is not as hard as you think, but if you’re addicted, it can take some practice and commitment just like any change. ㅤ 🧁𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 ㅤ 🧁𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 ㅤ 🧁𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 ㅤ 🧁𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 ㅤ 🧁𝗨𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘀 ㅤ 🧁𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 ㅤ If you’re diabetic or have any symptoms that suggest you are diabetic, have a heart problem, cancer or any disease, make an appointment with your doctor right away. ㅤ Sugar, among other things, can make matters worse. ㅤ Getting the proper diagnosis and then consuming a diet rich in nutrients and less sugar can offer amazing benefits to your health. ㅤ Additionally, sugar can cause liver problems and obesity. ㅤ Your doctor and a nutrition expert can help you make positive changes in your diet by limiting sugar and adding nutrient-rich foods. ㅤ 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. #sugar #obesity #cravings #diabetes

We don't think of our diets as a potential form of substance abuse disorder, but new research out of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute in the US begs to differ. Researchers applied the same criteria used establish the addictiveness of tobacco to ultra-processed foods, namely:- 1️⃣ Causes highly controlled or compulsive use 2️⃣ Causes psychoactive mood-altering effects via their effect on the brain 3️⃣ Reinforces behavior 4️⃣ Triggers strong urges or craving They found the criteria was met as a 'strong candidate' to be labeled as addictive substances based on their equivalence to cigarette smoking. Ultra-processed foods are estimated to account for 58% of the calories consumed by the US population, and have been under growing medical scrutiny concerning their low nutritional value and negative health effects. Liberal use of artificial flavorings play a role in the cravings they produce, but the primary factor appears to their carbohydrate to fat composition. Ultra-processed foods typically gravitate to a 1:1 composition (think french fries, chips, ice cream and so on). Compared to diets high in only sugar or fat, consuming both in a 50/50 ratio leads to eating a much higher amount of calories before being satiated, as well being more likely to crave another meal sooner. Prof DiFeliceantonio, lead researcher of the paper, deemed this to be central in terms of addictiveness. ''𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒓𝒂-𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒉 𝙧𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒐𝒉𝒚𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒔, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒉𝒐𝒍.'' The study found that the speed in which these foods deliver carbohydrates and fats to the gut also contributed to their addictive potential, which being typically low in fiber and protein increases their glycemic load. Highly processed foods have been considered as an extensive public health cost due to a commercial environment dominated by cheap, accessible and extensive marketing. However, this research highlights that the psychological dimension of eating ultra-processed foods may be a primary factor in these costs.

https://lnkd.in/d7Nm28rT Super article. Totally agree with the statements. Ozempic offers a fast solution, with very few side effects initially but with an unknown long-term safety profile. However, when stopped the feelings of suppressed appetite will start to go away, hormones like grellin -hormone of hunger will get back at high levels and people will start to feel hungry at their old levels. If you've lost lots of weight quickly, you may feel even hungrier than before and gain more weight. This is why better to focus on delayed gratification which includes building habits, eating gut microbiome-friendly food, exercising regularly, and managing your stress levels adequately is the best pill to take! Bottom line take away; "Dietary changes have much fewer risks in terms of side effects, but the responses will take more time and effort." "If you suppress your appetite but maintain a diet high in ultra-processed foods low in micronutrients, you could lose weight but not increase your actual nourishment."

SUGAR is sweet, and our eyes are presented with copious amounts all day, every day. Our taste buds love it, but your body and brain do not. Sugar has no real nutritional value. There’s no protein or healthy fats, no vitamins, or minerals. Just empty calories that spike your blood sugar and accelerate your appetite; and make you reach for more sugar – it’s your brain’s dopamine hit and the long-term effects on your family’s health are devastating. Added sugar is one of the worst and most toxic ingredients in the Western diet. It can have harmful effects on our metabolism and contribute to the development of numerous serious health conditions and diseases. Too much sugar is harmful to the body and promotes inflammation and disease. It has been linked to an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer. In fact, even products marketed as “light” or “low fat” often contain more sugar than their regular counterparts. Top sugar traps disguised as healthy food include:  Breakfast Cereals Flavoured dairy drinks. Fruit juices  Muesli bars  Yoghurts (some of these have more than ice cream)  Ice teas/vitamin water/sports drinks. A healthy way of eating can help improve your mood, a diet high in added sugar and processed foods may increase your chances of developing depression. Consuming a lot of processed foods, including high-sugar products such as muffins, cakes, and sugary drinks, has been associated with a higher risk of depression. Researchers believe that blood sugar swings, neurotransmitter dysregulation and inflammation may all be reasons for sugar’s detrimental impact on mental health.

Do your food choices make you fat? This has been a fun year for yours truly. I love learning new things as much as I possibly can, and the past three months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. I have become deeply entrenched in learning about fiber and polyphenols because, honestly, they are cool. For decades, we have been removing key nutrients from our food to make the processed food we eat taste better, look better, and last longer while making them considerably less healthy. That said, as a salesperson trying to create a story for brands to consider not altering the foods we eat, I run up against billions of dollars in marketing and advertising that has been focused on getting consumers to want to make choices that are not necessarily healthy or beneficial. Then today, I found an article that explains why not getting enough fiber and polyphenols in your diet is potentially harmful. “Specialized bacteria in your lower gut take the components of food you can’t digest, like fiber and polyphenols – the elements of plants that are removed in many processed foods – and transform them into molecules that stimulate hormones to control your appetite and metabolism. These include GLP-1, a natural version of Wegovy and Ozempic.” Imagine sitting with a corporation and explaining that if your food contained all the original nutrients, then our bodies would be able to regulate themselves properly and not need to rely on expensive, potentially harmful pharmaceuticals to do what food can do at a fraction of the cost. It seems so clear to me that if I just did the following: 1. Minimize processed foods in my diet, look for foods that resemble how they look in nature. 2. Consume only the amount of calories that my body requires and not go over that amount. 3. Consume more fruits and vegetables that are colorful and preferably from reputable farms and growers. 4. Lastly, combine that with my other pillars of health and well-being: diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, hydration, and social interaction, my #future self will be much better off. We are all looking for shortcuts to health, like getting a magic shot that allows us to eat whatever we want without exercising, but our bodies don’t work that way. I have found #personaldevelopment requires effort, discipline, and consistency, and wasting time looking for shortcuts to being a better version of yourself is exactly that: wasting time. ;-) P.S. ♻️ Repost this so we can all grow faster – together. I have been working on my story telling abilities and have been using Pip Decks to accelerate my skills. https://lnkd.in/gENKSbPv https://lnkd.in/gfiSpMKt

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) and their potential risks based on insights from the book "Perfect Health Diet" by Paul Jaminet, Ph.D., and Shou-Ching Jaminet, Ph.D. In the quest for well-being, we often find ourselves on a voyage through the vast ocean of dietary choices. One intriguing island on this journey is Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, or PUFA, and it's worth sharing some thoughts on this subject, especially based on my experiences and insights from "Perfect Health Diet." Cracking the PUFA Code PUFAs are a unique category of fats, characterized by their chemical structure featuring multiple double bonds in their fatty acid chains. Within this family, we encounter two significant players: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They are like characters in a story, each with their own role to play. The Omega-3 and Omega-6 Tale "Perfect Health Diet" teaches us a critical lesson about these fats: balance is key. Omega-3s are celebrated for their health-promoting attributes, such as reducing inflammation and supporting heart health. However, the plot thickens when we talk about omega-6s. When consumed in excess, often found in processed foods and vegetable oils, they can contribute to inflammation—a potential precursor to various health issues. The Inflammation Saga Chronic inflammation is a central character in many modern health problems, from heart disease to diabetes and autoimmune conditions. Here's the twist: an overabundance of omega-6 PUFAs can ignite this inflammatory saga, potentially putting our health at risk. Setting Sail on a Dietary Adventure Balancing omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs requires a bit of a dietary adventure. It means steering away from processed foods that often sneak in those omega-6-rich vegetable oils. Simultaneously, it means adding more omega-3-rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts to your plate. This journey is all about finding equilibrium. A Holistic Approach "Perfect Health Diet" reminds us that PUFAs, though complex, are crucial for our health. It's about understanding their role and respecting their power. By taking a thoughtful approach to balance our intake of omega-3s and omega-6s, we can embark on a path to better well-being, steering clear of the dangers of excessive inflammation. #HealthyLiving #NutritionMatters #WellnessJourney #HolisticHealth #MindBodyBalance #DietAndHealth #NutritionScience #OptimalHealth #LifestyleWellness #WellbeingTip

The problem with the British and the western diet in general is it is very high in saturated fat and processed elements. Saturated fat puts a lot of pressure on all our organs - spleen liver kidneys heart etc. This flattens them, also depletes them of key enzymes and hormones such as insulin and neurotransmitters such as gaba, dopamine, oxytocin and others. This creates digestive disorders, mood disorders, elevated bp, NAFALD and many other conditions which take away our joy which is the highest frequency we can vibrate at The solution is to eat cage free, wild caught, keep days of fasting and remove dairy completely. Milk due to pasteurisation is a very high pressure good Brandy may be a better dietary choice than milk in many cases https://lnkd.in/gFEjKe-a

Health professionals all agree that it's the type of fat-not the amount of fat- that matters for health and reducing risk for chronic conditions. Foods that contain fat provide essential fatty acids that play an important role in the health of your brain, heart, eyes and immunity. Dietary fat is also essential for digestion and absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E and K and myriad fat-soluble phytonutrients. What's more, fat is digested slowly do it enhances feelings of fullness. Being satiated post-meals can help prevent overeating and make it easier to eat with our hunger and fullness cues. Some healthy fats, in fact, can help you maintain a healthy body weight, and reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, dementia and much more. Here is a look at the 10 best sources of healthy fats, all backed by science: 1. Olive Oil 2. Almonds 3. Almond Oil 4. Whole Milk from 100% Grassfed Cows 5. Avocados 6. Flaxseeds 7. Walnuts 8. Salmon 9. Tuna 10. Whole eggs https://lnkd.in/dzA8sNwD
