Eating Avocados Shown To Boost Eye and Brain Health

by Jan Michael | Apr 2, 2018 | Low carb | 0 comments

A team of researchers at the Tufts University’s Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging noted that ating avocados may help boost eye health, memory and attention. These beneficial effects were largely in part to the fruit’s high lutein levels. According to the experts, both the eyes and the brain selectively incorporate the essential carotenoid.

The scientists said that daily avocado consumption for six months resulted in a significant increase in lutein levels in plasma and in the macular of the eyes at about 25 percent, compared with only 15 percent in those who ate either potatoes or chickpeas.

The health experts also noted that while both groups showed improvements in memory and spatial working memory, only those in the avocado group exhibited significant improvements in sustained attention.

Ketogenic Diet Cures Cancer

by Jan Michael | Jul 2, 2014 | High Fat Diet, Low carb diet | 0 comments

Last week, renowned cancer scientist Dr. Thomas Seyfried told examiner.com the ketogenic diet can replace chemotherapy for almost all cancers.

Dr. Seyfried’s bold, in-your-face statements have ignited a firestorm of controversy in the blogosphere. Seyfried did not say the ketogenic diet cures cancer, but effectively manages it in a non-toxic, less expensive manner than the current standard of care.

Like Seyfried, Prof. Noakes believes it’s time for the medical community to investigate metabolic therapy as an alternative to toxic chemotherapy and radiation.

Ketogenic Diet Beats Chemo For Almost All Cancers

The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet can replace chemotherapy and radiation for even the deadliest of cancers, said Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a leading cancer researcher and professor at Boston College.

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Seyfried discussed why the ketogenic diet has not been embraced by the medical community to treat cancer despite its proven track record both clinically and anecdotally.

“The reason why the ketogenic diet is not being prescribed to treat cancer is purely economical,” said Dr. Seyfried, author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. “Cancer is big business. There are more people making a living off cancer than there are dying of it.”

Low Carb Avocado Series 7

Avocados, which are actually classified as a fruit, are rich in monounsaturated fat that is easily burned for energy. Personally, I eat a whole avocado virtually every day, which I usually put in my salad. This increases my healthy fat and calorie intake without seriously increasing my protein or carbohydrate intake. (See Nutrition Facts Panel below.) It is also very high in potassium and will help balance your vitally important potassium to sodium ratio.

As I’ve mentioned before, eliminating grain carbs is one of the best ways to support your health and maintain your weight, but when you cut down on carbs, you need to increase your intake of healthy fats. Avocados are an excellent source, along with organic raw butter, coconut oil, and organic pastured eggs, just to name a few.

There’s also evidence suggesting that limiting your intake of protein can be helpful for long-term good health and the prevention of cancer. At the very least, most people are consuming far too much poor-quality protein, such as beef and animal products from livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Here again, if you cut down on protein, you need to replace lost calories with healthy fats such as avocados, coconut oil, olives, olive oil, butter and nuts.

Overall, most people would do well to get upwards of 50-70 percent fat in their diet (along with high amounts of vegetable carbs, moderate-to-low amounts of high-quality protein, and very little, if any, carbs). According to the California Avocado Commission, a medium Hass avocado contains about 22.5 grams of fat, two-thirds of which is monounsaturated. They’re also very low in fructose, which is yet another boon, and provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including:

Fiber
Potassium (more than twice the amount found in a banana)
Vitamin E
B-vitamins
Folic acid

Avocados are one of the safest fruits you can buy conventionally-grown,and most experts do not believe you need to purchase organic ones. Their thick skin protects the inner fruit from pesticides. Additionally, it has been rated as one of the safest commercial crops in terms of pesticide exposure,3 so there’s no real need to spend extra money on organic avocados, unless you can afford it.

Could avoiding carbs have more health benefits than you thought?

You may be careful to eat whole grain breads and cereals instead of white bread, but did you know that some experts say even those foods could be hurting your health?

“Carbohydrate immediately induces increase in inflammation and an increase in the production of free radicals, which damage protein, fat, and DNA,” Perlmutter says.

Medical imaging has shown that patients with Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases have higher levels of inflammation in the brain.

Perlmutter says that “the most important approach to dealing with Alzheimer’s is to do everything you can do reduce inflammation, and that means a low-carb diet.”
