Time for some healthy swaps ⚡️ Do you already do any of these? . ⚖️ Sometimes we can make really simple dietary substitutions that have big impacts on our health. 💪🏼 . 1️⃣ For example: We can substitute conventionally-farmed eggs (which are not bad and certainly inexpensive and nutrient-packed) with omega-3 or pastured eggs which contain a significantly higher amount of carotenoids to make your brain and eyes work better. . 2️⃣ Or swapping out highly processed “cheese foods” and replacing them with a personal favorite, nutritional yeast. I love this stuff. It’s packed with vitamins and protein and tastes delicious in salads and on eggs. . 3️⃣ Or saying goodbye to weird, oddly preserved shelf-stable commercial pickles and getting raw pickles instead, in the refrigerated section of your supermarket, which are teeming with lactic acid-producing beneficial bacteria. . 4️⃣ And finally, commercial salad dressings are borderline dangerous. I grew up on this stuff! Let’s swap them out and replace them with extra-Virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for an anti-inflammatory brain boost. . ❓What are your favorite swaps? Let me know! And tag a friend who would benefit from this. 🙌🏼👇🏼 • • • • • #lchf #keto #lowcarb #ketogenic #lowcarbhighfat #paleo #ketosis #primal #ketodiet #glutenfree #paleodiet #healthyfood #healthyeating #cleaneating #paleolifestyle #atkins #fitfood #grainfree #ketogenicdiet #whole30 #sugarfree #jerf #ketofam #ketolife #healthylife #healthylifestyle #plantbased #healthychoices #vegetarian #nutrition
So what are your best cooking choices? ⠀ ⠀ I recommend cutting out all refined oils except extra-virgin olive oil. When cooking, use extra-virgin butter for low to medium heat and butter, ghee, avocado oil at higher temperatures because these are highly stable oils. ⠀ Ghee has a higher smoking point at 400˚ to 500˚F and provides the same nutrients in grass-fed butter like the potential cancer-fighter conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Ghee and butter also contain trace amounts of vitamins D and A, omega-3 fats, and butyric acid, which can boost immunity and help inflammation, as well as protect against colon cancer.⠀ ⠀ Coconut oil tolerates temperatures up to about 350˚F, so it’s great for most baking and medium-high heat sautéing. Olive oil is best for low to medium heat cooking or used raw for dressing salads and other dishes (I have a great podcast about this!). Avocado oil, macadamia oil, and walnut oil also are wonderful raw and make great dressings.⠀ ⠀ Increased consumption of omega-6- rich vegetable oils are inflammatory to the body and unstable, and may contribute to inflammatory diseases. Over-consuming omega-6 fats and under-consuming omega-3 fats increases numerous health issues including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, pre-diabetes, IBS, arthritis, asthma, cancer and autoimmune diseases.⠀ ⠀ That’s because omega-6 fats fuel your body’s inflammatory pathways and counteract the benefits and availability of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. Both are needed but as with everything balance is key.⠀ ⠀ I suggest eliminating highly processed vegetable oils that are so prevalent in the standard American diet. Instead, I suggest using more plant-based and animal-stable fats. ⠀ ⠀ I embrace coconut oil, ghee and even some grass-fed butter as part of my diet. After all, we’ve been eating these and other traditional fats for centuries before flawed science and so-called experts told us they were unhealthy and caused heart disease.⠀ ⠀ Love this post and sentiment by my friend @drmarkhyman! ⠀ #cookingoils #healthyoils #omega3 #drmarkhyman Load more comments
