Nutrition

Plants can’t escape their predators, so they produce substances to deter or kill their predators. When we eat the food, these antinutrient substances can damage our guts, affect our biochemistry, or reduce nutrient absorption causing nutrient deficiencies in the long run. 

If you look at the diet of pro athletes, bodybuilders, physique competitors, you’ll see one common thread:

THEY EAT THE SAME MEALS. Over and over and over again…

This is because the same meals make it easier for you to stick to any nutrition strategies and go on autopilot.

Overview For many years, scientists believed that postprandial (post-meal) glycemic impact (GI) of the foods you eat solely determined the glucose increases after meals. Your doctors and nutritionists rely on GI to determine how friendly each food is to your overall blood sugar.  This idea was formed because humans share the same physiology, so naturally,…

If you’re trying to lose weight or manage your blood sugar, you may have heard of the low-glycemic impact or Slow Carb Diet. But it also has many other health benefits beyond fat loss. In this article, we’ll explain what it is, how to do it, and its health benefits.

Eating more without gaining weight is most people’s dream. If you have ever tried a caloric deficit diet, you’ll know how difficult it is to deal with hunger and cravings.

The Paleo diet, as popularized by Mark Sisson and Loren Cordain, is based on the idea that our human genes have not significantly changed in 10,000 years.

The raw food diet is high in all plant-based nutrients, phytonutrients, enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants and fiber. By focusing on organic or naturally grown fruits and vegetables, the diet is also lower in pesticides, antibiotics, and other toxins you can find in foods.

In the early 90s, researchers expected humans to have around 120,000 genes given how complex our physiology is. To their surprise, the Human Genome Project found that we have between 20,000 – 25,000 genes—the same order of magnitude as roundworms (20,470).

I’m sure you’ve at some point contemplated whether or not you should try a ketogenic diet.

You hear people talking about it all the time.

I’ve been keto for almost three decades now, and I’ve never felt better. From more energy, to leaner muscle mass, to a sharper mind, I can’t speak highly enough of the plethora of benefits that keto provides.

Every diet works because the laws of thermodynamics are immutable. Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you eat.

Once you start becoming more health conscious, you may look to start supplementing to truly take your health and wellbeing to the next level. If this is the case, you may find yourself starting by checking out the recommended daily allowance, or recommended daily intake (RDA/RDI) for individual nutrients, vitamins, and minerals
