So, last week . . . we spoke about how to "retrain" the "limbic system" in the brain . . . for better "decision-making" skills . . . and cognitive value.
And I told you . . . that one of the "biggest" factors to "rewiring" the brain to "think" and "act" correctly . . . is by eating an "anti-inflammatory" diet.
Now . . . I've spoken about this kind of "eating pattern" many, many times before . . .
But . . . I think some of you "still" don't get just how "IMPORTANT" this way of eating is for "OPTIMAL WEIGHT" and "HEALTH" . . . and "MENTAL HEALTH" and "CLARITY" . . . of the body, mind and soul!!!
Okay . . . so, I've posted 2 different "food pyramids . . .
One being the Western diet pyramid . . . high in Omega 6 fatty acids, which causes "inflammation" and ultimately "ALL" of our physical and mental issues.
And the other being an "anti-inflammatory" diet . . . high in Omega 3 fatty acids, which "reduce" inflammation in the body . . .
Therefore . . . "correcting" our physical and mental health.
Did you "COMPARE" the 2???
So, what's "wrong" with this picture PEOPLE???
These 2 pyramids . . . are basically "upside down" of each other!!!
With the "MOST" INFLAMMATORY foods to the body . . . causing weight issues, disease, dementia, CANCER and even DEATH being . . . in abundance with this Western diet we love.
So, let's break it down . . . and see what's "killing" us people???
First up . . .
"Refined grains" like . . . white flour, white bread, white rice, corn, grits, pastries, cakes and cracker to mention a few
Then . . .
"Refined sugar" . . . are sugars that have been processed to create a "simple", sweet form like . . . white sugar, brown sugar, palm sugar corn syrup and high-fructose corm syrup to mention a few
"Red meats" like . . . high fat steak and hamburger
"Processed meat" like . . . Sliced lunch meats, hot dogs, smoked, cured, salted or canned meat, fish or poultry . . . frozen breaded meats and dinners like burritos and pizza . . . canned entrees like ravioli, spam and chili
"Trans fats" like in . . . baked goods, cakes, cookies, pies, muffins, brownies, cupcakes and sweet rolls . . . fried foods, French fries, doughnuts, fried chicken and potato chips . . . frozen foods, pizza, ice cream, frozen yogurt, milkshakes and pudding . . . margarine, household shortening, refrigerated dough and nondairy coffee creamers
