Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize Himalayan Tartary buckwheat to eliminate zombie cells
Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, grown in harsh conditions, contains unique phytochemicals that rejuvenate the immune system by killing senescent 'zombie cells.'.
Avoid raw white button mushrooms to reduce cancer risk
You should not eat white button mushrooms raw because they contain a natural carcinogen.
Choose meat from animals that consume diverse medicinal plants
Animals that eat a wide variety of medicinal plants accumulate beneficial phytochemicals in their meat, meaning we are what our food ate.
Utilize tongue bacteria to lower blood pressure
Healthy bacteria on your tongue begin the process of converting nitrates from foods like beets and spinach into nitric oxide, which can lower your blood pressure.
Choose imperfect produce for enhanced medicinal benefits
Plants stressed by pests produce more defensive chemicals, making a bug-nibbled strawberry more medicinally potent than a perfect-looking one protected by pesticides.
Reverse biological age with phytochemical cocktail in three months
In a recent clinical trial, a phytochemical cocktail from an ancient plant reversed biological age by five to seven years in just three months.
Utilize phytochemicals to regulate gene expression
Phytochemicals are not just simple antioxidants but are powerful signal transduction agents that regulate the expression of your genes.
Consume resilient plants to boost immune strength
Eating plants that have survived hostile environments transfers their powerful, hormetic immune-strengthening principles to your own body.
Utilize konjac root to balance blood sugar and cholesterol
Konjac root, available as Shirataki noodles, is a zero-calorie fiber that slows sugar absorption and helps balance blood sugar and cholesterol.
