Apple Cider Vinegar – Hippocrates Approved & He Was A Sharp Fella.

Great to clean a fatty liver.

Acetic acid is great and helps your body absorb minerals from meals you ate 6,8,12 hours prior to consuming. Introducing apple cider vinegar into your diet effectively can help kill pathogens, including bacteria.

So if you want to consciously remove toxins from your body take apple cider vinegar each day and dilute it with water, add ginger or lemon and you will be on track to living a longer more, fulfilled existence.

Intermittent Fasting – Cavemen Were Ripped

Fasting or Intermittent Fasting is not focused on what foods you eat but rather when you eat. A common rule of thumb follows the 16-8 principle which is 8 hours of eating followed by 16 hours of fasting.

For example, if you were to follow this formula and it’s really quite easy if you already aren’t a breakfast person. A game plan would be to stop eating around 7 pm and then I wake up the next day, have a coffee/apple cider vinegar drink/hydrate with water and not eat until 11 am. Once you get used to this it’s not a problem at all. The body tends to be very habitual with eating habits.

Some of the core benefits of applying intermittent fasting are:

  • Lower Oxidative Stress & Inflammation in the Body – Oxidative stress causes aging and several diseases & inflammation is also a key-driven in many common diseases.
  • Good For Your Brain – Studies have shown that intermittent fasting may increase the growth of new neurons and protect the brain from damage.
  • Extend Lifespan – A study of rats proved that 83% of rats who fasted every other day lived longer than non-fasting rats.
  • Cell Repair – Fasting initiates a process called autophagy which essentially breaks down and removes dysfunctional proteins that build up in our body over time. Think of autophagy as emptying the garbage & creating space for new healthy cells.

It’s funny when people say you need to eat every 2 hours to keep your metabolism going because this isn’t aligned with our history. Cavemen didn’t have supermarkets, refrigerators but rather they were hunter-gatherers. Our ancestor’s bodies evolved to sustain periods of no food, and this process is very healthy and natural.

Tumeric– The Thousand Year Old Indian Secret

Many folks in the western world first discover turmeric in an Indian recipe. Sprinkling a dash of tumeric on your veggies for taste but it’s undeniable when it comes to the health benefits. The main active ingredient in Tumeric is Curcumin – which has been extensively studied and said to provide:

Tumeric comes from the root.

Something important to note is Curcumin isn’t easily absorbed into the bloodstream & many of the case studies mentioned were conducted using turmeric extracts containing mostly Curcumin dosages exceeding 1gm per day.

Sprinkling some turmeric on your food will not produce the same levels as the test studies so if you truly wanted to experience the effects it’s best to take an extract containing a significant amount of Curcumin.

Additionally, if you do use Tumeric on food black pepper (contains piperine – natural substance) is a great addition as it will enhance the absorption of curcumin by 2000%.

Heat has also shown to increase the solubility or absorption of turmeric so many prefer to craft their own Tumeric tea with a teaspoon of honey, lemon, cinnamon, etc. This is a healthy antioxidant tea that tastes delicious and better than going for that extra seventh cup of caffeinated joe to keep focused throughout the day.

CBD Tincture For Anxiety

CBD Oil or Cannabidiol is all the craze these days, but is it really worth it? Simply stated, yes. It really comes down to the endocannabinoid system each mammal has. The endocannabinoid system is what allows the body to heal itself and is responsible for these two main functions:

  1. Pleasure/well being/energy
  2. Regulating the body to protect from injury and disease

Now CBD Oil doesn’t directly heal the body but rather it influences the endocannabinoid system to perform optimally. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a network of cell receptors, molecules and enzymes located in the brain and central nervous system.

In November 2017, the World Health Organization recommended that CBD should no longer be listed as a controlled substance since it has a long list of health benefits with no known side effects.
