Mindsip insights from this episode:
Cook with olive oil at high heat without worry
Contrary to a common myth, you can cook with olive oil at high heat, as its smoke point is almost the same as canola oil.
Keep blood vessels slippery to prevent stickiness and plaque
The lining of your blood vessels should be slippery like a polished ice rink, but unhealthy foods can 'scuff up the ice,' causing stickiness and plaque.
Select high-polyphenol olive oils for maximum health benefits
For the highest polyphenol content, choose single-variety olive oils made from specific olives: Picual (Spanish), Koroneiki (Greek), or Moraiolo (Italian).
Incorporate affordable foods to burn harmful body fat
Human studies show that affordable foods like onions, tomatoes, strawberries, white beans, and carrots can help burn harmful body fat.
Drink dark hot chocolate to double stem cells and enhance blood vessel resiliency
In a clinical study, drinking two cups of 80%+ dark hot chocolate daily for 30 days doubled the number of circulating stem cells and improved blood vessel resiliency by twofold.
Optimize metabolism by avoiding chronic overconsumption of calories
Metabolism is not a fixed trait you're born with, but is like a computer's operating system that can be degraded by 'abuse' like chronic overconsumption of calories.
Implement two-thirds plate rule to prevent overeating
To avoid overeating without complex calorie counting, a simple rule is to serve yourself only two-thirds of the portion you would normally take.
Prioritize self-knowledge over expert advice for health wisdom
Instead of just consuming external information, true health wisdom comes from self-knowledge and paying attention to how your own body feels and responds.
Activate brown fat with food to burn white fat
Certain foods and drinks, like green tea, coffee, and chili peppers, can activate beneficial 'brown fat' to burn harmful 'white fat,' a mechanism similar to cold plunges.
