Nutrition & Diet

First Are Proteins...

You're going to start off with proteins, there are 21 amino acids and in order to have a healthy and happy gut that wants to break these proteins down you need an equal balance of these amnio acids. How do you get these?

• (Red Meat) Ground beef, Steak, ect.

• (White Meat) Salmon, Chicken, Anchovies.

• (Nuts) Pistachios, Almonds, Cashews, ect.

• (Dairy) Yogurt, Milk, Cheese.

• (Bonus) Eggs, Bone marrow, ect.

Proteins

Next Is Carbohydrates...

Carbohydrates are essential for energy in the body as well as red and white blood cell health. Meaning if your carbohydrate sources are poor, your blood health is poor as well. There are two main types of carbs, complex carbs which are long lasting energy sources and simple carbs which are quick energy.

Carbohydrates

• (Complex) Sweet potatoes, black beans, Peas, Carrots, ect.

• (Simple) Bananas, Apples, Oranges, ect.

Most Overlooked Is Fiber...

Fiber is overlooked and unfortunately most important, so let's fix that. The average American consumes about 15 grams of fiber a day, the recommended amount is 25-30 grams, this has caused an epidemic of health issues around the country, since we don't get enough fiber, the gut has started eating itself (The Mucus Lining). We fix this by aiming to get closer to 40 grams a day.

Fiber

• (High Fiber) Black beans, Chia seeds, Peas, Raspberries, Avocado, Dates.

• (Good Fiber) Broccoli, Pears, Almonds, Pistachios.
