Nutrition Tips
(via Matt M, on the island)
“The only rule you really have to follow is: if your great great great great great great great great great grandpa ate it
then eat it
if he didn’t
throw it away
=)”
Oils
coconut oil is the healthiest oil you can get
and it’s the only oil you should cook with at high temperatures
extra virgin olive oil is good up to medium heat
after that its fatty acids break down into trans fats
the only oils you should EVER consume are coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil
and be absolutely certain that both are “cold pressed”
all other vegetable oils are terrible for you
in order to efficiently extract them from the seeds
at a rate that is profitable
super high heat and pressure are required
this process chemically alters the monounsaturated fatty acids in the oils
breaking them down into trans fats
and trans fats are the only type of fats you should avoid like the plague
the idea that saturated fat is bad for you is a lie designed to sell bogus health products
saturated fats are healthy in the correct quantities
Margarine
now I already know you don’t use margarine, so that is good
but I’ll make you feel even better about it now
a lot of people think margarine is just processed butter
in fact margarine is 100% different, it’s processed vegetable oils
and as we already discussed
vegetable oils kill you
so take that bad oil
and process it more
and then on top of that
hydrogenated margarine
the process of hydrogenations chemically alters the fatty acid chains, moving one of they hydrogen atoms
which results in straightening out the normally kinked chain
making it, essentially, toxic to your body
except your body doesn’t recognize that it’s not a normal fat
and stuffs it in your cells anyway
where it can’t properly interact with things the way it’s supposed to
due to it’s new shape
so basically your cells get hydrogenated
lol
fun huh?
also the processing of vegetable oils produces lots of free radicals
which are highly reactive
and when taken into the body
tend to interact VERY negatively with cells and tissue
causing damage
and paving the way for cancer to develop
so
margarine causes cancer
=)
Eggs
do not eat white eggs
ever
waste of time
organic free range eggs cost about 4 times as much in the grocery store, but every dollar is worth it
the white eggs produced from caged hens fed fake food diets
have totally imbalanced levels of omega-3s and omega-6s
where free range eggs are a healthy 1:1 ratio
white eggs can be as much as 19:1 omega6 : omega3
it’s not even a case of organic being *better* in this case… it’s really to the point of white eggs arguably being BAD for you, lol
Pecans
pecans are super good for you despite being 53% fat by weight
but of course for that reason you should only eat 1-2 handfuls a day
Blueberries
blueberries are also something you should eat a couple of handfuls of every day
they’re the best readily available anti-oxidizing berry, and they dramatically reduce the risk of cancer
black raspberries (not blackberries) are 3 times better than blueberries but they’re also very hard to find
Fish
eat fish at LEAST once a week
it MUST be wild fish
farmed fish is totally void of nutrients
Go Organic
buy organic, always. it’s not about being a trendy elitist or animal rights
organic really is better. non-organic produce tends to be missing essential nutrients
or worse, is genetically altered and isn’t even what it looks like, and could be very harmful to your body
organic is more expensive, but the investment in your body is worth it. the effect of not doing it is going to be dramatic
drop as much processed food as you can bear to

He’s got a lot of information in that nogin of his, lol. He reserches and knows his stuff so take his words to heart, and perhaps make some changes to your diet for the better. I know I have. Yay pro health!
