new videos everyday life wisdom what
is
your favorite healthy
food is there food
that you think is healthy but maybe
you're not sure leave me
a comment
letting me know your
favorite healthy
food in a previous video
I explained why
nutrition information
can be so
confusing and so
overwhelming and I
basically ruled out all
the junk emic
junk foods that we know
we're supposed
to avoid so fried foods
refined sugar
processed foods or
anything with a
really long ingredient
list and some of
you are probably asking
well gee whiz
karena what the heck is
left for me to
eat and in this video
I'm going to tell
you now of course
there's still plenty
of controversy about the
foods I'm about
to discuss but I've done
my best to
really simplify it down
just remember
that every person's body
is different
and there is no one
perfect optical diet
it's going to be perfect
for every
person so hopefully you
can use this
information to figure
out the perfect
diet for you I want to
make one quick
disclaimer before we get
started
as I mentioned
previously every person's
body is different and
some people
literally have allergies
to certain
foods so you could have
an allergy to
any of the foods I'm
about to mention
and obviously you
wouldn't want to eat
that food now if you
don't know if you
have food allergies
there's a couple of
ways to find out if you
just aren't
feeling super healthy or
you feel like
you're eating healthy
but you still
don't feel well then
food allergies
could be a culprit and
the easiest way
to determine if you have
a food allergy
is to eliminate the
suspected food from
your diet for two to
three weeks and
then see how you feel
when you start
reintegrating that food
so some common
food allergens are
gluten
eat dairy soy and
peanuts but as I
mentioned you could have
an allergy to
any food and you want to
look into that
as you're figuring out
what the optimal
diet for you is going to
be fruits are
loaded with vitamins
phytonutrients and
antioxidants and they're
delicious too
since you're going to be
avoiding
refined sugar fruits are
going to be the
best way to satisfy your
sweet tooth so
let fruits be your
dessert
now of course fruits do
contain sugar
but they also contain
fiber and a whole
lot of different
nutrients too and it's
important to note that
the fiber
contained in the piece
of fruit actually
helps that fruit to not
spike your blood
sugar so much so when
you're eating a
piece of fruit it's not
going to spike
your blood sugar as
quickly as having a
soda or having a
spoonful of sugar
because you've got that
fiber in the
fruit helping in that
process now of
course if you're trying
to lose weight
then you probably want
to go easy on the
fruit and certainly if
you're eating a
lot of fruit you're
gonna want to be
really physically active
so you can burn
all of those
carbohydrates off but again
fruits are a great way
to enjoy and
indulge your sweet tooth
and I encourage
you to try all of the
different fruits
that are out there
vegetables really
should be the bulk of
your diet and
whether you eat meat or
not every single
person on the planet
myself included
would benefit from
eating more
vegetables the bottom
line is that our
bodies our internal
organs need a
certain amount of
nutrients just in
order to function
properly and
vegetables are one of
the best ways to
make sure that you're
getting those
nutrients they're loaded
with fiber
they're loaded with
vitamins and again
if you are not eating
enough vegetables
you're never really
going to feel
satisfied and full and
this is because
your body just isn't
getting the
nutrition that
so if you have been
eating a diet of
processed foods and
you're somebody who
feels like you're always
hungry and
feels like you're never
satisfied then
the lack of vegetables
nutrients and
fiber in your diet is
probably the
reason for that and when
we're eating
nutrient-rich foods like
vegetables we
don't have to worry so
much about
counting calories
because suddenly
you're going to get so
much nutrition
and fiber with these
foods that you're
going to fill up and
feel full and
satisfied before you'll
be able to eat
too many calories of
those foods and
again this is a topic
that I've
discussed in several
videos the empty
calories vs.
nutrient-rich calories and
I think that really is
the secret to not
being on a diet and to
not gaining the
weight back is
recognizing that we just
take the empty calories
out of our diet
we don't even have to
worry about
counting calories at all
so vegetables
there's sweet potatoes
beets spinach
Swiss chard kale there
are a whole
rainbow full of
vegetables for you to
try as I've explained in
previous videos
the white refined flour
that's used in
white bread pasta and
tortillas is
completely stripped of
all of its fiber
its nutrients and this
refined white
flour is full of empty
calories this
means those calories
turn straight into
fat without giving your
body and Newton
any nutrition it also
means that this
white bread and white
flour products are
going to significantly
spike your blood
sugar basically it's
like having pure
refined sugar every time
you have these
white flour products so
I recommend that
you significantly
decrease if not
completely eliminate
those processed
white flour products
from your diet now
whole grains on the
other hand can still
be part of a healthy
diet but the trick
is to look for minimally
processed
grains so brown rice is
a good example
barley wild rice there
are several
different whole grains
out there and
when you consume these
minimally
processed grains they
can be a really
good source of fiber
minerals nutrients
B vitamins lots of
things that we need
not only to help us feel
full but to
provide good balanced
nutrition so the
easiest way to find
these minimally
processed whole grains
is probably by
going to the bulk
section of your
grocery store or even to
a health food
store for the most part
these foods are
ridiculously easy to
prepare just
basically water and the
grain and if you
have problems digesting
these greens you
can soak them or sprout
them to make
them even easier to
digest another key
is to not make grains
the bulk of your
meal or the bulk of your
diet you can
kind of use them
supplementally use them
as you know one of the
sides one of the
smaller parts of your
meal you want to
have these grains in
moderation and if
you do have them be sure
to opt for
those minimally
processed grains dairy
products are another
controversial
foodstuff some people
will say we're the
only species on earth
who eats another
animals milk and yet
it's important to
notice that people have
been drinking
cow's milk and goats
milk for hundreds
of years so again I'm
not going to tell
you whether or not you
should eat dairy
this is a choice that
you're going to
have to make you're your
own but what I
will mention is that
dairy is a very
common food allergen and
I personally
have known people who
have cleared up
acne asthma arthritis um
just from
taking dairy out of
their diet so if
you're somebody who
experiences those
things it may be worth
it to see if
dairy is something that
you actually do
better by avoiding now
if you are going
to eat dairy then again
and have just a
couple of guidelines
first off look for
the words pasture-raised
or grass-fed
you want
house who are making
your dairy products
to be very healthy you
want them to live
on a farm and eat their
natural diet so
that they're actually
providing the most
nutrition to you in
those dairy products
you also want to opt for
the full fat
version of whatever
dairy products are
eating so skim milk got
on that fat-free
craze that everybody was
experiencing
and trying to get all
the fat out of
their diet
well actually the fat is
what helps your
body digest the dairy so
if you're
eating fat-free dairy
products this
could be why you're
having a hard time
digesting dairy so my
tips if you are
going to eat dairy are
to look for the
words grass-fed and to
always opt for
the full fat version
legumes this is
your beans and any plant
with seeds
so actually peanuts are
also a legume
even though they contain
the word nut
legumes are a great
source of protein
they're great source of
B vitamins and
minerals and can really
be a wonderful
part of a healthy diet
there are tons of
different legumes out
there pinto beans
kidney beans chickpeas
lentils you name
it and you can
significantly improve the
digestibility of legumes
with soaking so
beans have gotten kind
of a bad rap for
causing digestive
discomfort and you can
completely eliminate
that digestive
discomfort by preparing
them correctly
in a future video I'm
going to go over
the process of soaking
and sprouting
beans and it's the same
process that can
be used to make grains
more easy to
digest
and also adding a little
bit of seaweed
to the beams can also
help make them
easier to digest so
legumes something
you should be
incorporating into your
diet if you haven't
already and be sure
to look out for that
future video on
preparing legumes as
well nuts and seeds
are loaded with fiber
protein minerals
and healthy fats which
are integral to
helping us form healthy
brains nuts and
seeds make a great addition
to salads
and salad dressings they
make a
wonderful snack and a
great addition to
breakfast cereals I also
want to mention
quinoa which is often
considered more of
a seed than a green
although it makes a
great substitute for
rice and it's
prepared and pretty much
the exact same
way and it is also
something that can be
tolerated but often be
tolerated by
people with gluten
intolerance so quinoa
can be a great
substitute for grains and
rice as I mentioned and
quinoa is a
complete protein which
means it contains
all of the essential
amino acids and if
this is something you
haven't heard of
or aren't familiar with
I would highly
recommend that you
introduce yourself to
quinoa this is something
like I eat on a
very regular basis and
is a really great
part of a healthy diet
to meet or not to
meet that is probably
one of the most
controversial questions
out there in
terms of health in terms
of diet and we
have to recognize that
at this point
research has indicated
that eating huge
amount of red meat and
eating processed
meats like hot dogs
sausages processed
deli meats any meat
products with an
ingredient list has
definitely been
linked to clogged
arteries and heart
disease and of course
there are some
people who will tell you
not to eat meat
at all and still others
who will tell
you to avoid all of the
animal products
including eggs and
butter now I'm not
going to tell you
whether you should
eat meat or not eat meat
you have to
make that decision for
yourself and I
recommend that you make
that decision
based on how you feel
when you eat meat
now if you are going to
eat meat then I
encourage you to do so
in moderation and
to be selective so I
have heard the rule
of thumb that you
shouldn't eat more
than a palm-sized
portion of meat at any
given meal so eating a
huge steak that's
you know twice the size
of your head is
probably too much meat
to consume at one
meal and you also want
to look for the
words grass-fed or
pasture raised and
preferably organic this
is going to help
you avoid factory farmed
meat and again
this is a topic that
I've discussed on
this channel before so
factory farmed
animals many of them
never see the light
of day they're pumped
full of
antibiotics and hormones
and often fed
an unnatural sometimes
genetically
modified diet of grains
which makes them
really really sick so we
want to avoid
conventional meat which
most most of
which is factory farmed
and you can do
so again by looking for
the words
grass-fed or pasture
raised on the
packaging of any meat
products or dairy
animal products that you
purchase and
the same thing goes for
fish you would
want to look for the
words wild-caught
one other quick note
about meat products
meats that have been
cooked at extremely
high temperatures such
as frying or
barbecuing have a whole
other host of
other health concerns
acrylamide is a
cancer-causing chemical
that is produced
whenever foods or hook
are cooked at
extremely high
temperatures so avoiding
barbecued or charred
foods fried foods
of course
is going to be a really
good option and
you can use the cooking
technique low
and slow so using a low
heat and cooking
that meat more slowly at
that low heat
is going to help
preserve the protein
and preserve the
nutrients that you're
getting out of that meat
you're cooking
a lot of you have asked
for cooking
videos so in future
videos I'm going to
take you into my kitchen
show you how to
properly prepare these
foods and simple
easy quick ways to
prepare healthy meals
and in another video I'm
going to go
into more detail about
the factory
farming methods that are
so common and
our conventional meat
products and why
it's so important that
we look for the
words grass-fed thank
