"Excess consumption of sugar, Starch, and cereal-based carbohydrates is easily the most destructive dietary tendency today. It is a rampant problem, leading to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and many other degenerative disorders as well as numerous mental health and cognitive problems." Primal Body, Primal Mind I found this very interesting, after researching more on gluten and type 1 diabetes. The loss of beta cells is now being connected to type 1 diabetes. Save your beta cells and avoid type 1 diabetes. Checking for pancreas antibodies early on, and going on a gluten free diet is known to stop the destruction of the beta cells. See link: Poor Beta-cell Function Throughout your life the most profound influences on your health, visited and function are not the doctors you have visited or the drugs, surgery or other therapies you have undertaken. The most profound influences are the cumulative effects of the decisions you make about your diet and lifestyle on the expression of your genes. I have my new blood work number's in. I am happy to share that my numbers have improved. I will be adding full description to the website but in the mean time here are a few of the number's. HDL has gone up from 39 to 44. I personally think this number is low. I will be working to get this number above 75. A1c has remained the same as my last reading at 5.1 Vitamin D gone up from 49 to 72.4 Creat/kidneys function 0.7 down from 1.0 Cholesterol 161 Trig 30 LDL 111 Glucose 76 A1c 5.1 Whenever you find yourself doubting if you can go on, just remember how far you've come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won and all the fears you have overcome. Then raise your head high and forge on ahead, knowing that YOU GOT THIS. Ambition is believing in yourself even when no one else in the world dose. In a effort to improve my Keto diet and up my intake of animal fats I have found a wonderful new item from fatworks called tallow (pure tallow) premium cooking oil made with 100% Grass-Fed Beef. "Science is in trouble whenever the will to believe overwhelms the duty to doubt." "Maintaining order rather than correcting disorder is the ultimate principle of wisdom. To cure disease after it has appeared is like digging a well when one feels thirsty, or forging weapons after the war has already begun." Dare to be different on your food journey, here is a great book from 1958 that has help me on my journey. "It has been asserted, quite correctly, that when you tamper with a man's food you are tampering with the basic pattern of his life." "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Eat carbohydrates and grow fat." Paleo Breakfast: Organic baby spinach, leaks, avocado, with uncured bacon and free range organic eggs. http://ultimatepaleoguide.com/5-paleo-diet-breakfast-recipes/ One of the most important books I have discovered on my food journey trail has been Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. "Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority." Here is yesterday's breakfast, as difficult as it is to eat organic and on the run, avoiding grains and gluten is still my go to option. I am also adding free range organic egg yolks back into my diet/journey to further help my Keto life style. I also understand as Stephanie Person has posted on her Facebook page, "If you are not hormone free, grass fed and certified organic .. You are in big trouble." I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.
I personally, have never been on a statin drug, however I believe the benefits of Ubiquinol are so great that I make sure to always have it each day. I also make sure to take a good serving of organic coconut oil with my Ubiquinol for better absorption. (PLEASE NOTE!! I AM NOT RECOMMITTING YOU START TAKING SUPPLEMENTS, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU DO DECIDE!) "The Benefits of statins are questionable, and major studies have failed to show how they protect the body from illness." |
