How to Regain Your Health and Avoid Heart Disease
Remember, insulin- and leptin resistance are at the root of most chronic diseases, including heart disease. To safely and effectively reverse insulin and leptin resistance, you need to:
- Avoid sugar, fructose, grains, and processed foods
- Eat a healthful diet of whole foods, ideally organic, and replace the grain carbs with:
- Large amounts of vegetables
- Low-to-moderate amount of high quality protein (think organically raised, pastured animals)
- As much highly quality healthful fat as you want (saturated and monosaturated). Most people need upwards of 50-70 percent fats in their diet for optimal health.
Remember, one of the most important fats your body needs for optimal health is animal-based omega-3. Deficiency in this essential fat can cause or contribute to very serious health problems, both mental and physical, and may be a significant underlying factor of up to 96,000 premature deaths each year. For more information about omega-3's and the best sources of this fat, please review this previous article. Besides animal-based omega-3 fats, other sources of healthy fats to add to your diet include:
Avocados Butter made from raw grass-fed organic milk Raw dairy Organic pastured egg yolks Coconuts and coconut oil Unheated organic nut oils Raw Nuts, such as, almonds, pecans, macadamia, and seeds
