Mainstream media is lying to you.

The foods they say are killing you…

Are actually superfoods.

Here are 8 food you should be eating every day:

1. Salt Image
Myth: Causes high blood pressure and heart disease.

Truth: While excessive sodium intake can be harmful, salt is essential for:

• Hydration
• Nerve function
• Muscle contractions

The key is balance and choosing quality sources like sea salt or Himalayan salt.
7. Eggs

Myth: High in cholesterol, bad for your heart.

Truth: Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and healthy fats.

They actually raise HDL (good) cholesterol and are not linked to heart disease in most people.
6. Red Meat

Myth: Causes cancer and heart disease.

Truth: Lean cuts of red meat are rich in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

It's about choosing quality and moderation, not elimination.
5. Full-Fat Dairy

Myth: High fat leads to obesity and heart problems.

Truth: Full-fat dairy contains essential fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and can help with satiety, reducing overall calorie intake.
4. Potatoes

Myth: High in carbs, leads to weight gain.

Truth: Potatoes are rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamins C and B6.

When prepared healthily (like baked or boiled), they can be part of a balanced diet.
3. Butter

Myth: High in saturated fat, clogs arteries.

Truth: Butter, especially grass-fed, is a source of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

In moderation, it can be part of a healthy diet.
2. Dark Chocolate

Myth: High in sugar and fat, unhealthy treat.

Truth: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which can improve heart health.

Opt for varieties with 70% cocoa or more.
1. Coffee

Myth: Causes dehydration and heart issues.

Truth: Coffee is packed with antioxidants and can:

• Boost metabolism
• Improve brain function
• Lower the risk of certain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Conclusion:

Don’t let mainstream media brainwash you into being unhealthy.

90% of people don't understand the true effects of fasting.

Does it actually help you lose weight?

Here’s everything you need to know about fasting (& if you should be doing it):

🧵 Image
To start:

There are different benefits from fasting depending on the goal you have.

When it comes to fasting for weight loss…

We need to define what it actually is.

So, what is fasting & how does it work?
Fasting is when you introduce zero calories into your system.

This means, no:

• Food
• Supplements
• Drinks other than water or black coffee

“Restricting” calories is not fasting.

Ikaria is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea.

It’s one of the world's 5 designated “Blue Zones” (Places where people live the longest).

Ikarians also have lower chronic disease rates than almost every country in the world.

Here's what they're doing to make this possible: Image

Foods like:

If you don't have visible abs, you're at higher risk of:

- stroke
- cancer
- heart attack
- type 2 diabetes
- premature or sudden death

The good news is, getting abs is simple.

Science tells us there are only 2 factors involved👇
Image
Image
Factor #1: Leanness

When it comes to being able to see your abs, leanness should be your main priority

Leanness is the % of your body that is comprised of fat compared to muscle

Typically, around 15% body fat is where you start to see abdominal muscles coming to the surface Image
Here's how you get to 15% bodyfat:

1. Calorie Deficit

- use to find your BMR
- start out eating 250 calories less than this daily

2. Protein Excess

- your goal bodyweight = your daily protein intake (in grams)
