Benefits of Fasting According to Dr Mercola

The two primary benefits of fasting, in Dr. Mrcola’s view, are stem cell activation and autophagy. Stem cells play an important role in longevity as they are instrumental in repairing and rejuvenating your cells and tissues, while autophagy is your body’s innate cleanout process, by which damaged mitochondria, proteins and cells are digested and eliminated.

By upregulating autophagy and mitophagy (autophagy in your mitochondria) and boosting stem cells you will lower your risk of most diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration.

Nutrient composition is important here. Aside from autophagy and stem cell activation, fasting is known to provide many other health benefits, including: Read more here:: https://lowcarbmag.com/benefits-of-fasting-according-to-dr-mercola/

      

Most egg-laying hens in the U.S. are confined in what’s known as a “battery cage.” This means that hens are kept in cages less than 80 square inches, where they are fed with a meal of corn waste and chemicals and forced to lay eggs. The hens have no room to spread their wings and will never see the sunshine. What’s worse, on the off-chance that a male chick is hatched, he will be disposed of.

Indeed, all of this is atrocious and is no way for any animal to live, this lack of sunshine also contributes to a deficiency of vitamin D in hens – as well as in humans. Most people know that a reasonable amount of sunshine is good for humans as allows the body to synthesize the necessary amount of vitamin D for calcium absorption and bone development. The same can be said of chickens as well, and the proof is in the eggs.

Gain Optimal Health Through Keto Diet

Nutritional ketosis, which involves eating a high-quality, high-fat diet that is low in net carbs, may be one of the most useful interventions for many chronic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes.

The key to success on a high-fat diet is to eat high-quality healthy fats, not the fats most commonly found in the American diet (the processed fats and vegetable oils used in processed foods and fried restaurant meals).

A way to ease into a ketogenic diet is to begin with a 1-to-1 ratio of healthy fats to net carbs plus protein. This means your grams of healthy fats will be about equal to your combined grams of non-fiber carbs and protein put together.

Beneficial Effects of Intermittent Fasting

Aside from a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting — where you do not eat for 16 to 18 hours a day; 12 hours being the absolute minimum — is another effective way to regain your insulin sensitivity and control mTOR.

Basically, while you’re fasting, your insulin will dramatically drop, allowing your body to enter into autophagy and clean itself out. Then, when you refeed, your body deactivates autophagy and starts to rebuild itself.

Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist, recently published a case series paper4 on three diabetic patients — all of whom were on high doses of insulin — detailing how intermittent fasting can be used as a therapeutic alternative for Type 2 diabetes.

The New York Times recently published a long, detailed article about the history of modern cancer research, including Warburg’s theories on cancer, which are now becoming more widely accepted.

Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize  Physiology or Medicine for his discovery that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells.

Warburg concluded that the prime cause of cancer was the reversion of energy production from aerobic energy generation to a more primitive form of energy production, anaerobic fermentation.

With neurological diseases such as epilepsy, the the ketogenic diet has now become a popular diet among people who want to lose weight effectively. But did you know that this diet requires you to eat low-carb fruits?

Since the keto diet strictly monitors your carb intake, you can’t overeat certain kinds of produce, especially fruits and vegetables. Carbs from whole produce are better compared to refined and processed foods, such as grains and legumes. However, carbs from fruits and vegetables are still counted as carbs.

To ensure the success of a keto diet, you need to monitor your carb intake. Fruits are full of healthy antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins, but they aren’t nutritionally equivalent to vegetables.

he high-fat requirements may sound like a free-for-all when it comes to the fat you decide to consume, but if you want to have success on the keto diet, it’s all about the quantity (your diet should consist of 70 to 80 percent fat) and more importantly the quality of fats you eat, Anna Barnwell, MPH, MSW, member of the clinical team at Virta Health, explained in a blog post.

According to Anna, fats are used in humans as a fuel source and “to build and maintain vital membranes for all the cells in the body.” If you’re following the keto diet, it’s important that a majority of your dietary fat intake comes from monounsaturated and saturated fats in order to supply your body with energy.

The Best Cooking Oils Based on Latest Research

It’s probably fair to say that most recipes today calling for some type of oil for cooking usually suggest “vegetable” oil or canola oil. But a recent study in Australia found that vegetable oils, which are extracted from seeds, are at the bottom of the barrel, so to speak, because of how they behave in two areas:

  • Instability when heated
  • The production of harmful compounds when heated

Here’s how the study was carried out…

      

The fat that comes from the fruit of the olive tree offers a host of health benefits that range from heart health to cognitive function, so it’s no surprise that it’s at the center of some of the healthiest eating approaches, such as the Mediterranean diet.

Just what can olive oil do for you?
