Mindsip insights from this episode:
Embrace 'MediterrAsian' eating style for health benefits
Instead of a restrictive diet, consider a 'MediterrAsian' eating style, which combines the healthy culinary traditions of Mediterranean and Asian cultures.
Utilize probiotics to reduce mania rehospitalization by 90%
A Johns Hopkins study found that bipolar patients hospitalized for mania who took a probiotic had a 90% reduction in rehospitalization rates over six months.
Leverage diet as a powerful antidepressant for clinical depression
The landmark SMILES trial demonstrated that a dietary intervention put a third of patients with clinical depression into full remission, an effect comparable to a blockbuster drug.
Recognize metabolism stability from age 20 to 60
Contrary to popular belief, a landmark study found human metabolism is rock-solid stable from age 20 to 60, and it's excess body fat that slows metabolism, not the other way around.
Activate brown fat with capsaicin from chili peppers
The capsaicin in chili peppers activates specific receptors that signal the brain to release norepinephrine, which in turn 'lights up' your brown fat to burn energy.
Choose cod for effective weight loss over oily fish
An Icelandic study revealed that cod, with seven times less omega-3s than salmon, still led to a significant 10-pound weight loss in eight weeks.
Incorporate clams for optimal vitamin B12 intake
Clams are the top natural source of vitamin B12, a critical nutrient for mental health, containing more per calorie than most other foods.
Implement time-restricted eating to enhance endurance
In a study, mice on an eight-hour time-restricted eating window were able to run on a treadmill for twice as long as mice eating a healthy diet whenever they wanted.
Extend your daily fast with simple timing adjustments
You can easily create a 12-hour daily fast by not snacking three hours before bed, sleeping for eight hours, and delaying breakfast by one hour.
Choose high-polyphenol olive oils for optimal health benefits
For maximum health benefits, look for specific high-polyphenol, mono-varietal olive oils like Picual from Spain, Moraiolo from Italy, or Koroneiki from Greece.
