For the last 200 days of a cow’s life, it’s fed a high-starch diet and given minimal exercise. According to the food pyramid, most of our diet should come from starch. The average American consumes 65% to 70% of their calories from starches. Starches are actually hidden sugars. In fact, ultra-processed starch is worse than sugar and will raise your blood sugar more than glucose. There are 2 types of corn: field corn (dent corn) and edible sweet corn. Dent corn is used to fatten cattle and to make products such as ethanol, corn flour, modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin. It’s also used to make corn oil, one of the seed oils. Not only do the refined starches act like sugar in the body, but they’re also GMO. This means they contain traces of glyphosate. The average American has been eating like a cow for quite some time. This is why we see obesity, fatty liver, heart disease, and more. Cows are meant to digest grass, not grains. Grass is fermented with bacteria in a cow's stomach, and the fiber feeds its microbes. When a cow is fed grains, the microbes produce an excess amount of acid, causing acidosis. This can lead to infection and isn’t very healthy for the cow, so they’re fed antibiotics to compensate. Stop eating like a cow! Avoid ultra-processed starch and choose grass-fed, grass-finished beef. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Discover the best and worst foods for arthritis. DATA: https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nutrition/anti-inflammatory/the-ultimate-arthritis-diet 0:00 Introduction: Best and worst foods for arthritis 0:10 The problems with recommended foods for arthritis 4:35 The best foods for arthritis 6:22 The worst foods for arthritis 8:22 Intermittent fasting for arthritis 8:40 Learn more about what to do for arthritis! Today I want to cover the best and worst foods for arthritis. This includes rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other “-itises.” Foods to avoid for arthritis: • Fruits • Nuts (except walnuts) • Beans • Whole grains • Sugar • Refined grains • Trans fats • Hydrogenated foods • Seed oils • Canned foods (except sardines or cod liver) • Powdered protein • High-oxalate foods It’s typically recommended to avoid eggs, red meat, and dairy if you have arthritis. However, it’s important to understand that grain-fed animals have a very different omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than organic grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild-caught fish and animals. Organic grass-fed whole milk kefir or organic grass-fed raw milk cheese may also be better choices than typical dairy products. The best foods for arthritis: • Wild-caught fatty fish • Seafood • Pasture-raised organic eggs • Fermented vegetables (especially cabbage) It’s also important to add intermittent fasting to your diet plan. It’s not just about what you eat but the frequency you eat that’s important in getting rid of arthritis.
