Metabolic disease is caused by a problem at the cellular level. Your cells can no longer get energy, even with an abundance of fuel.
People with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease represent 25% of our population! According to research from Harvard, 93% of US adults have at least one abnormal risk factor, such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, visceral fat, inflammation, fatty liver, sleep apnea, or being overweight. Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of the problem.
On average, people consume 31 teaspoons of sugar per day! Sugar isn’t the only problem. Industrial food starches such as modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin
spike blood sugar more than sugar. The average American consumes 56 teaspoons of starch per day!
Insulin removes sugar from your blood and stores it as belly fat, liver fat, or high triglycerides. During this process, the mitochondria are damaged. This could go on for years before blood sugar problems begin. A fasting insulin test would be the only way to detect the problem, but these are not routine.
To reverse chronic disease, you must eliminate refined carbohydrates and eat less frequently!
Here are the best foods for diabetes and heart health:
•Salad: Arugula, ACV, extra virgin olive oil, pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds, avocado
•Protein/fat: Grass-fed, grass-finished hamburger with no bun
•Dessert: L. Reuteri yogurt with sugar-free dark chocolate and/or cinnamon
For your best health, practice the following healthy habits:
•Follow a low-carb diet
•Intermittent fasting
•Get plenty of sunlight
•Go on a post-meal walk
•Avoid ultra-processed foods
