Chicken is NOT the "health" food many think it is.

Here's why:

"You are what you eat"

Goes 1 degree further when it comes to animal products...

Meaning:

As of September 2022:

99% of chickens in the US are raised in CAFOs.

CAFO stands for:

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation

Does this look like a healthy environment?

There is nothing natural about 1000s of birds living in confined indoor environments.

In these conditions → sickness & disease are common.

Birds are fed GMO corn & soybeans and pumped full of antibiotics.

In 2022 alone → OVER 50 MILLION birds died from a bird flu outbreak.

Sadly, the majority of chickens are fed pesticide-covered GMO seeds and given loads of antibiotics & growth hormones.

Some studies have found that chicken meat can contain as many estrogenic compounds as a BIRTH CONTROL PILL.

That should concern you.

Birds raised in unnaturally confined conditions are STRESSED OUT.

Wouldn't you be?

Most chicken meat also contains Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of OVER 10 TO 1.

This is a recipe for inflammation.

It's also 7-10X more Omega-6 than most beef.

If you love eating chicken:

Be very wary of the labeling.

Seek out chicken & eggs that are "organic" & "pasture-raised."

I used to eat chicken every day.

When I stopped → I lost 40 pounds of fat.

I still LOVE my daily eggs, which are higher in Omega-3 and packed with essential vitamins & nutrients.

But I prioritize organic & pasture-raised eggs.

They are much easier to find than chicken meat.

TL;DR

Modern chicken isn't the "health" food many think.

The majority of US chickens live in CAFOs, which are extremely unhealthy environments.

"Healthy" chicken is hard to come by.

Healthier options include:

→Wild-caught seafood
→Pasture-Raised eggs
→100% grass-fed beef

CoQ10 is the most underrated supplement for your heart and energy levels.

Every cell in your body and heart needs it to produce energy.

By age 40, your levels have dropped by up to 50%.

Here are all the benefits of CoQ10 (and how to use it correctly):🧵

1. Protects your heart.

CoQ10 fuels the energy production your heart depends on to beat 100,000 times daily.

Low levels weaken cardiac output and raise heart failure risk.

Studies show 200-400mg daily improves heart function in cardiovascular disease patients.

2. Supercharges cellular energy.

CoQ10 lives inside your mitochondria where it drives the electron transport chain.

This is how your cells produce ATP, the energy currency of your entire body.

Low CoQ10 means low ATP.

That's the root cause of chronic fatigue after 40.

Inflammation is a silent killer.

It skyrockets your risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer (without you even realizing).

Here are the top 12 science-backed foods to reduce inflammation (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Red meat

Rich in carnosine and CLA, red meat lowers TNF-α and IL-6.

Unprocessed red meat doesn’t cause inflammation - refined carbs do.

Opt for grass-fed beef, seared rare in butter or ghee.

Debunking all the anti-red meat "science":

2. Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Oleocanthal in EVOO blocks the same enzymes as ibuprofen.

Myth: Fats are bad for you and will make you fat.

Truth: Healthy fats are vital for your hormonal health.

The most overlooked cause of high blood pressure:

Low Nitric Oxide.

It relaxes your blood vessels, improving blood flow and naturally lowering blood pressure.

But by age 40, you've lost half of it.

Here are the top 10 foods to boost it naturally (bookmark this):🧵

1. Beetroot.

The best food for nitric oxide on the planet.

It's packed with nitrates your body converts directly into nitric oxide.

One glass of beet juice drops blood pressure by up to 10 points within hours.

Have it juiced, roasted or as powder in smoothies.

2. Arugula.

It has more nitrates per gram than almost any other vegetable.

Your body converts these into nitric oxide which relaxes and widens your blood vessels.

Toss it into salads, sandwiches or on top of any savory meal.

It's cheap, easy to find and powerful.
