for making better choices and as a special thank you for joining me today we're giving away a 100 free copies of my bestselling book to subscribers so if you haven't already make sure to hit that subscribe button and leave a comment about why you want to in my bestselling book so another no is not fat but it's wheat why wheat well when the hybridization process of making the wheat the gluten or protein structure of wheat was changed so originally wheat was inkhorn now I don't think that eye should be there I think that eye should
be there enor wheat that was the original wheat and it had a very fragile structure and that fragile protein or gluten structure means very easy to be broken down so easy to be broken down in the grind in the cooking in the chewing in your digestive enzymes and it is not sure when but a few thousand years ago there was a a field hybrid with another wild grass that produced Emma wheat and Emma wheat is not quite as fragile but it is still fairly fragile and it is the Emma wheat that was went through the
Intensive crossbreeding so the hybridized wheat that was hybridized in the 50s went worldwide in the' 70s so by the 1990s in New Zealand in Australia in America every pasta every wheat every cereal every dut cake etc etc is made of the hybridized wheat and that structure of that hybridized wheat is incredibly complex very difficult for the gut to break down and you look at the Timeline 1990s well established that's when all the gluten intolerance gluten sensitivity gluten uh intolerance to the point of celiac Celiac can't even touch it gluten intolerant really they should only have
it once in a blue mood Gluten Sensitive they can probably have a slice of bread or wheat so basically Gluten Sensitive gluten intolerant and gluten uh to the PO intolerant to the point of celiac basically is just um describing the intensity of the intolerance can you still buy the original you can buy spelt and you can buy kamut and spelt and cut have the same structure of the Emma so you can still buy that you can still buy spelt and cut you can buy it as pasta you can buy it as bread Celiac who is
severe intolerance often they can't even handle the spelt or the commo but often Gluten Sensitive or gluten intolerant can now if that hybridized wheat was made into a sourdough bread because of the culturing process it breaks down the gluten structure to make it a little bit more fragile and if spelt is made into sourdough bread it can bring it back to that original structure of the anchorn wheat now if someone eats wheat and they have a intolerance to it do you know it can get that blood pressure up so blood pressure can be caused by
wheat so how do you know what you are I've got a challenge for you stop it for two months see what happens wheat is a staple in many diets but it's important to recognize how it affects our health especially for those who experience negative reactions for individuals with gluten sensitivity or intolerance consuming wheat can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating fatigue headaches and digestive problems these issues arise because modern wheat has changed significantly over the years due to hybridization and processing the goal of hybridization was to produce a higher yield and improve baking quality but
this has made wheat harder for some people to digest as a result many are looking for Alternatives such as Ancient Grains which tend to be easier on the system grains like spelt Emma and cut have different glut structures that may be better tolerated fermentation is another effective approach for instance sourdough bread can be a great option because the fermentation process helps break down gluten making it easier to digest if you enjoy baking using sourdough methods can provide you with healthier bread options that still taste great it's also worth considering the broader Health implications of wheat
consumption some research suggests that eating too much wheat especially from from refined sources can lead to inflammation weight gain and other metabolic issues for those looking to improve their health cutting back on or eliminating wheat can be a smart move refined sugar is dangerous it clogs up the arteries it makes the blood very very sticky and you can get so many delicious sweetness like honey and maple syrup and even the coconut sugars there's no need to go to the refined sugar refined sugar is a common ingredient in many of our favorite foods but it comes
with a host of health risks that can significantly affect our well-being one of the biggest issues with refined sugar is that it's packed with calories but offers little to no nutritional value when we consume too much sugar it can lead to weight gain and obesity because sugary Foods often replace healthier options in our diets this means we're getting empty calories that don't provide the essential nutrients our bodies need one of the most serious concerns about refined sugar is its connection to chronic diseases for example high sugar intake is linked to insulin resistance which can ultimately
lead to type 2 diabetes when we eat refined sugar it causes our blood sugar levels to spike quickly in response the pancreas releases insulin to help cells absorb the glucose over time if we keep consuming too much sugar our bodies May struggle to keep up with insulin production leading to insulin resistance and eventually diabetes refined sugar also plays a role in heart disease studies show that diets high in added sugars can increase the risk of heart rated issues consuming a lot of sugar can raise triglyceride levels increase blood pressure and cause inflammation all risk factors
for heart disease furthermore excessive sugar can lead to the buildup of visceral fat which is particular harmful as it raises the chances of heart attacks and strokes mental health is another area where refined sugar can be problematic research suggests that high sugar consumption may be linked to depression and anxiety when we eat sugary Foods it can lead to energy spikes followed by crashes which may cause mood swings some people even develop cravings for sugar seeking that quick energy boost creating a cycle that's hard to break Dental health is also affected by refined sugar sugar feeds
harmful bacteria in our mouths leading to tooth decay and cavities when sugar interacts with bacteria in plaque it produces acids that can erode tooth enamel resulting in dental problems moreover a high sugar diet can harm gut health excess sugar can encourage the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast in our digestive systems leading to an imbalance known as disbiosis this imbalance can contribute to digestive issues and a weakened immune system given these risks it's essential to be mindful of our sugar intake reducing or cutting out refined sugar can lead to numerous health benefits such as better
weight management improve blood sugar control and enhanced mood stability instead of reaching for sugary snacks try to focus on Whole nutrient-dense Foods like fruits vegetables whole grains and healthy fats these foods not only nourish our bodies but also help us maintain a healthier lifestyle in nature we find the highest amount of sodium in sea water and sea water contains 92 minerals of those 92 minerals 30% approximately 30% is sodium and of those 92 minerals approximately 50% is chloride now because sodium chloride take up the most amount they're the first crystals formed when the water is
evaporated so what man does is he Scoops up the first crystals formed he bleaches them white puts aluminium with it so that it runs freely and there's your table salt table salt is a dangerous is a dangerous salt because we now have two very harsh minerals that if you were in inject both of those into the blood you would die there's two harsh minerals and they need all the other 90 to soften them and balance them the highest concentration of mineral inside the cell is potassium the highest concentration outside the cell is sodium and in
this Bay membrane that is around every cell there are sodium potassium pumps and these sodium potassium pumps are ever going like this maintaining the balance between potassium and sodium but when someone's not eating enough fruits and vegetables and that's where you get most of your potassium and they're putting table salt on everything far too much what happens now is sodium levels rise and pottassium levels drop there is a small amount of sodium in the cell but when this happens you see osmosis and diffusion happens when the highest concentration merges into the lowest so now sodium
levels inside the cell arising which they should not and the cell swells what's that called high blood pressure the doctor is right table salt will will contribute to high blood pressure table salt or sodium chloride can be harmful when consumed in excess while our bodies need sodium to function properly to to much of it can lead to serious health problems one of the most significant risks associated with high salt intake is high blood pressure or hypertension when we eat too much sodium our bodies hold on to more water to balance it out this extra fluid
increases blood volume which raises blood pressure over time high blood pressure can damage the arteries leading to heart disease and increasing the risk of stroke many studies suggest that reducing salt intake can help lower blood pressure especially for those already experiencing hypertension another concern is the impact of table salt on heart health a diet rich in sodium can cause the arteries to become stiff and may even lead to heart failure over time excessive salt can exacerbate other dietary issues like high cholesterol and saturated fat intake making it even more dangerous for cardiovascular health this connection
highlights the importance of monitoring sodium levels particularly for individuals with exist ing heart conditions Kidney Health is also at risk with high salt consumption the kidneys are responsible for filtering excess sodium from the bloodstream and when we overload them with salt they have to work harder over time this strain can lead to kidney disease which can severely affect overall health and may require treatments like Dialysis in advanced cases additionally too much salt can affect bone health high sodium intake can cause the body to lose calcium through urine which can weaken bones and increase the risk
of osteoporosis especially in older adults who are already susceptible to bone density loss and there are two things that I would like to absolutely Define for heart disease and that is caffeine caffeine disrupts the neurotransmitters in the brain caffeine causes an insulin response caffeine actually causes a crisis response so when someone is in a crisis their blood pressure Rises to cope with the crisis that's what Caff does also tobacco tobacco also causes a crisis in the body tobacco also damages the arterial walls caffeine thickens the blood causes deep hydration as does tobacco tobacco and caffeine
can both significantly affect heart health and overall well-being but they do so in different ways starting with tobacco smoking is a leading cause of preventable deaths around the world it has a direct and harmful impact on the cardiovascular system nicotine The Addictive substance in tobacco raises heart rate and blood pressure this forces the heart to work harder than it should which can can lead to serious problems like heart disease additionally smoking damages the lining of blood vessels contributing to AOS sclerosis where arteries become narrowed due to plaque buildup this condition greatly increases the risk of
heart attacks and strokes Beyond just the heart smoking reduces oxygen levels in the blood because of the carbon monoxide produced when tobacco is burned this reduction in oxygen can lead to fatigue decreased physical performance ments and even problems with organ function over time long-term smokers also face a weakened immune system making them more vulnerable to infections and chronic diseases on the flip side caffeine is often seen as a harmless pikme up but too much of it can lead to issues as well while moderate caffeine consumption is usually safe for most people excessive intake can lead
to an increased heart rate and higher blood pressure which might cause feelings of anxiety and stress some individuals may experience heart palpitations or irregular heart rhythms known as arrhythmias when they consume too much caffeine moreover high caffeine consumption can lead to dependency causing withdrawal symptoms like headaches and fatigue when caffeine isn't available it can also disrupt sleep patterns leading to insomnia or poor quality sleep since good sleep is essential for maintaining heart health caffeine's interference can have a knock-on effect on overall all well-being both tobacco and caffeine can also influence lifestyle choices smokers often struggle
to maintain a healthy diet or engage in regular physical activity which can further Elevate their risk of heart disease similarly people who rely heavily on caffeine might replace healthier beverages like water with caffeinated drinks leading to dehydration and inadequate nutrition thank you for joining me today to explore the foods that support heart Health if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up and share it with friends and family who might benefit from this information don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification Bell so you won't miss any of our upcoming content on health
