Lymph & Longevity Quotes

“We Don’t Get Enough Fiber: We know that the word “fiber” is something you may associate with old age, constipation, or both. But the fact is that Americans don’t get enough of this colon-cleansing form of carbohydrates. This low-fiber diet is directly related to our high incidence of hemorrhoids”

“dietary fat was linked to them. The American diet is full of the so-called “bad” fats, saturated fats derived from animal and dairy sources and fried foods (oxidized, also known as “rancid” fats). Studies have shown that even fats once thought to be healthy, such as margarines and other trans fats, actually promote degenerative disease. The American Heart Association and National Cancer Institute recommend that the”

“when it comes to how they interact with the body. For example, simple sugars (especially when consumed in large amounts) tend to wreak havoc on multiple systems, including increasing damage to blood vessels and promoting damaging (chronic) inflammation throughout the body. Other foods (both macro and micro) have a positive effect, calming down inflammation or clearing blood vessels, for example.”

“Macronutrients and Micronutrients: Macros come in three forms: protein, fat, and carbohydrates. And they all have different functions. Protein, for example, serves as the building blocks for our cells, while carbs and fat are used as energy (albeit in different ways). Micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and compounds found in food that also have effects on the body, namely in terms of promoting good health and strong systems at the cellular level.”

“Most “comfort food” should actually be labeled “discomfort food” because of its disease-causing potential. 2) Choose the rainbow-colored foods that will leave you light and refreshed, whistling with energy and joy and keeping your lymph (and the rest of your body’s systems) running strong. Best of all, you can do this and have fun with food, so that your tongue is as satisfied as the rest of your body.”

Some things that have been shown to have such an effect: exercise, stress management, eating unprocessed foods (high sugar and saturated fat decrease BDNF), and emphasizing flavonoids (like berries, chocolate, tea, olive oil, and black pepper). Some supplements are also worth considering, such as ginseng, curcumin, quercetin, butyrate, and niacin/”

“You Can Grow New Neurons It appears that we may be able to grow new neurons through a protein called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). It seems to work by messaging genes in nerve cells to regrow, repair, and reconnect them. How do you boost”

“Increase your BDNF. Until recently, it was thought that no new brain cells could be grown. That changed with the discovery of a protein called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). When activated through epigenetics, neurons grow, as do connections between the nerve cells to repair damaged cells. Many things can stimulate the expression of BDNF, including: Aerobic exercise, weight lifting, and regular walking. Quality time in the sun. A traditional Mediterranean diet and foods high in polyphenols and flavonoids, including blueberries, green tea, olive oil, black pepper, turmeric, chocolate, and omega-3 fatty acids. Prebiotics (insoluble foods that good bacteria feed on), such as garlic, lentils, mustard greens, onions, tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, barley, and leeks.”

“except millet and sorghum, known as lectins. If lectin proteins are absorbed through a leaky gut (which normally would prevent their absorption), they cause inflammatory reactions throughout the body, including the brain. If the gut is leaky, the blood-brain barrier tends to be leaky as well.”

“Skip the Grains. Gluten—which has been shown to cause problems in the gut for some people—is also suspected to have toxic effects on the brain as well. Our diet recommendation is to stay away from gluten and grains, and to emphasize fish, vegetables, fruits, and oils. In our recipes, you’ll see many options for gluten- and grain-free meals. Gluten is the most inflammatory of a group of proteins contained in all grains”

“best approaches for helping your lymph help you: Exercise. The jumping action of a mini-trampoline is especially helpful because of the way lymph travels. Jumping allows you to push the fluid up—and the one-way valves stop it from immediately traveling back down via gravity. When you get moving up and down,”

“Try fasting. “Intermittent fasting” is defined in medicine as taking only water for 16 hours, coupled with eating normally for 8 hours (or other schedules such as 18 and 6, 20 and 4, 22 and 2, etc.).
