You've been lied to.

The foods they say are killing you…

Are actually superfoods.

Here are 8 foods you should be eating every day:

1. Butter Image
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. Salt

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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
Conclusion:

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

Protein can fix 99% of your problems.

But most people don’t know:

• When to have it
• The best food sources
• How much you should consume
• What it ACTUALLY does to your body

If you want to understand everything about protein, read this thread:
It’s been my mission to help myself & the rest of God’s men become the best versions of themselves.

As we all know, protein plays a big role when it comes to:

• Muscle growth
• Muscle repair
• Overall health

Here are the 4 main things you should know:
1. What Protein Does To Your Body:

Protein provides essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle tissue.

During exercise (especially resistance training), the brain begins to signal muscle protein synthesis.

This process tells your body to use the protein you've eaten to make your muscles bigger and stronger.

"The devil isn’t afraid of Christians who believe the truth... he’s afraid of the ones who obey it."

A thread exposing the lies society wants you to believe about Christianity.

1. “The Bible is outdated and oppressive.”
Lie: “It’s anti-woman, anti-freedom, anti-progress.”

Truth: The Bible isn’t oppressive—it’s ordered and righteous. It gives dignity to all made in God’s image.

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
2. “Church is a cult.”

Lie: “Christianity is brainwashing—just control tactics and groupthink.”

Truth: Some offshoots that claim to be Christian are cults—they shame you, shun you if you disobey, and demand blind loyalty.

But true Christianity is the opposite:

It welcomes the worst of the worst, calls them to healing, and invites obedience—not through force, but through love.

Just look at Jesus and the woman at the well (John 4):

85% of Americans suffer from some degree of APT.

Anterior Pelvic Tilt.

It’s the reason your back hurts, your stomach bulges, & your hips are always sore.

The good news?

It can be fixed...

Here’s everything you need to know about APT (& how to fix it naturally): Image
1. What is Anterior Pelvic Tilt (APT)?

It’s when your pelvis tips forward—like you’re sticking your butt out.

This causes:

• Weak abs
• Poor posture
• Tight lower back
• Back and knee pain
• Hip flexor dominance

It's common in people who sit a lot, skip core work, or train unevenly.
2. What causes APT?

The body adapts to how you live.

APT develops from:

• Sitting for hours daily
• Weak glutes and abs
• Overactive hip flexors
• Poor core-bracing habits
• Lack of posterior chain training

It’s a muscular imbalance.

Not a permanent condition.

Poor bone health doesn’t just lead to arthritis…

It silently wrecks your:

• Strength
• Longevity
• Hormones

And since your doctor isn’t warning you…

Here’s everything you need to know about bone health (and how to protect yours): Image
Most people think bone health is about drinking milk and taking calcium pills.

That's like trying to build a house with only bricks and no foundation.

Your bones are alive.

Every single day they're:
• Breaking down old tissue
• Rebuilding new tissue
• Responding to how you treat your body

Treat them like garbage?

They become garbage.

Acne isn't a skin problem.

It's your body's warning system telling you:

• Your diet is toxic

• Your hormones are in chaos

Here's everything you need to know about acne (& how to get clearer skin): Image
1. The REAL cause of acne:

It's not:

• Genetics

It's inflammation from:

• A toxic lifestyle
• Poor gut health
• Hormone chaos

Fixing the root cause will fix your skin.
2. Your gut is destroying your skin.

When your gut is messed up:

• Toxins leak into blood
• Inflammation spikes
• Hormones go crazy

The result?

Acne.

Every time.
