Apple Cider Vinegar (Raw – Unfiltered: with the ‘mother’)

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What & How:

Raw – Unfiltered – Apple Cider Vinegar (with the ‘Mother’)
Mix one to two tablespoons (15–30 ml) with a glass of water and drink with a straw (to protect your teeth).

Why:
-It lowers inflammatory insulin spikes of the food you will consume
-It maximises nutrition absorption: it lower gastric pH: it restores our stomach acidity to absorb maximum nutrients (anti-aging)(stomach acidity diminishes when we get older)

-can stimulate secretion of pancreatic enzymes,
-can inhibit pathogens,
-acts as an energy source during GI-tract intermediary metabolism,
-improves mineral utilization by chelation process,
-enhances apparent total tract digestibility and improves growth performance.

When:
15 minutes before eating

 Apple Cider Vinegar lowers inflammatory insulin spikes
 “organic acids can stimulate secretion of pancreatic enzymes, lower gastric pH, inhibit pathogens, acts as an energy source during GI-tract intermediary metabolism, improves mineral utilization by chelation process, enhances apparent total tract digestibility and improves growth performance.”[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]

Mineral Water (sparkling)

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What & How:

2 l (1/2 gallon) Mineral water mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt

Preferably out of glassbottles!
Plastic isn’t natural: we want to become natural again, this is why:
(plastic bottles: 93% contain signs of contamination from micro plastics)
A number of industrial and consumer products made of plastic contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which can negatively impact human health
Low doses of BPA can alter cellular function and activate genes that promote growth of cancers.

Why:

To flush out liberated fats and toxins

To replenish electrolytes (magnesium & salt)

To prevent kidney stones

To boost our energy

To create a healthy flow in our body (from flatline to flow = alive)

To promote ketone production (fat for fuel)

Coffee is packed with health-promoting antioxidant like chlorogenic acid, coffee may increase energy, enhance concentration, promote fat burning, and even reduce the risk of certain diseases

To get high quality saturated fats as building blocks of our cells and brain

We need fat to be able to absorb our four fat-soluble vitamins in the human diet:

  • Vitamin A
    (purpose: vision, immune function, body growth, hair growth, reproductive function)
    (food sources: from fish, liver oil, butter)
  • Vitamin D
    (purpose: bone maintenance, immune system regulation)
    (Food sources: Found in animal-sourced foods, such as eggs and fish oil, and produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight.)
  • Vitamin E
    (Purpose: a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects your cells against premature ageing and damage by free radicals)
    (Food sources: avocados, peanut butter, margarine, fatty fish and fish liver oil.)
  • Vitamin K
    (purpose: plays a key role in blood clotting. Without it, you would run the risk of bleeding to death.)
    (Food sources: parsley, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, lettuce (= low lectins vegetables), egg yolks, butter, liver)

BCAA supplements

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What & Why:

  1. Phenylalanine:Phenylalanine is a precursor for the neurotransmitters tyrosine, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. It plays an integral role in the structure and function of proteins and enzymes and the production of other amino acids.
  2. Valine: Valine is one of three branched-chain amino acids, meaning it has a chain branching off to one side of its molecular structure. Valine helps stimulate muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production.
  3. Threonine:Threonine is a principal part of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are important components of the skin and connective tissue. It also plays a role in fat metabolism and immune function.
  4. Tryptophan:Though often associated with causing drowsiness, tryptophan has many other functions. It’s needed to maintain proper nitrogen balance and is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates your appetite, sleep and mood.
  5. Methionine:Methionine plays an important role in metabolism and detoxification. It’s also necessary for tissue growth and the absorption of zinc and selenium, minerals that are vital to your health.
  6. Leucine: Like valine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid that is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, stimulates wound healing and produces growth hormones.
  7. Isoleucine: The last of the three branched-chain amino acids, isoleucine is involved in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. It’s also important for immune function, hemoglobin production and energy regulation.
  8. Lysine: Lysine plays major roles in protein synthesis, hormone and enzyme production and the absorption of calcium. It’s also important for energy production, immune function and the production of collagen and elastin.
  9. Histidine:Histidine is used to produce histamine, a neurotransmitter that is vital to immune response, digestion, sexual function and sleep-wake cycles. It’s critical for maintaining the myelin sheath, a protective barrier that surrounds your nerve cells.

As you can see, essential amino acids are at the core of many vital processes.

The US recommended daily allowances per 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of body weight for the nine essential amino acids are

  • Histidine: 14 mg
  • Isoleucine: 19 mg
  • Leucine: 42 mg
  • Lysine: 38 mg
  • Methionine ( the non-essential amino acid cysteine): 19 mg
  • Phenylalanine ( the non-essential amino acid tyrosine): 33 mg
  • Threonine: 20 mg
  • Tryptophan: 5 mg
  • Valine: 24 mg

Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are referred to as complete proteins.

Complete protein sources include:

  • Meat
  • Seafood
  • Poultry
  • Eggs
  • Dairy ProductsQuinoa and buckwheat are plant-based foods that contain all nine essential amino acids, making them complete protein sources as well, but you need to eat a lot to reach your daily value.

Celtic Sea Salt

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What & How:

Celtic Sea Salt

(to prevent keto flue, see below)

Why:

When you’re on a high fat, low carb diet, you’re eliminating most processed foods that contain high levels of sodium. Your body needs sodium to thrive. Stay hydrated, keep your energy up, and beat the Keto flu by using Real Salt liberally.

Since sodium chloride (salt) has several important functions in the body, it’s necessary to consume it from foods to maintain optimal health. When fat adapted we loose fats, together with its toxins and electrolytes (=salt, magnesium and potassium).

We have to replenish our electrolytes: including salt, while becoming fat adapted, to prevent the keto flu.

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Irritability
  • Weakness
  • Muscle cramps
  • Dizziness
  • Poor concentration
  • Stomach pain
  • Muscle soreness
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Sugar cravings

Magnesium: Epsom Salt (bath)

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What & How
Epson salt

When Epsom salt is dissolved in water, it releases magnesium and sulfate ions.
Magnesium may be better absorbed via Epsom salt baths than when taken by mouth.

Why:

To replenish magnesium and stop Keto flu symptoms.

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, the first being calcium.

It is involved in more than 325 biochemical reactions that benefit your heart and nervous system.

Many people do not consume enough magnesium.

Magnesium promotes sleep and stress reduction

+90% Dark Chocolate

+

[op_liveeditor_element][text_block]What
90% dark chocolate (5 squares)

Why:

Dark chocolate is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet (anti-ageing)

It contains a decent amount of soluble fiber and is loaded with minerals.

A 100-gram bar of dark chocolate with 90% cocoa contains:

  • 11 grams of fiber
  • 67% of the RDI for iron
  • 58% of the RDI for magnesium
  • 89% of the RDI for copper
  • 98% of the RDI for manganese
  • It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium

Of course, 100 grams (3.5 ounces) is a fairly large amount and not something you should be consuming daily. All these nutrients also come with 600 calories and low sugar.

For this reason, dark chocolate is best consumed in moderation.

The fatty acid profile of cocoa and dark chocolate is also excellent. The fats are mostly saturated and monounsaturated, with small amounts of polyunsaturated fat.
