Cilantro is natural detoxification

Our bodies are exposed to heavy metals every day via food, water, pharmaceuticals, manufactured products, pollution, and more. When heavy metals accumulate to reach toxic levels, they can lead to an array of symptoms and chronic conditions. The chemical compounds in cilantro act as natural cleansing agents, binding to toxic metals and loosening them for easier transport out of the body.

Known for its unique, can’t-be-mistaken flavor and commonly used in Mexican cooking, cilantro can be incorporated into all kinds of food – poultry and fish dishes, salads, salsas, blended smoothies, and more. It can easily be found in grocery stores and nurseries, should you want to add it to your herb garden.



Two favorite salads that have a lot of cilantro are


  • Asian chopped salad with sesame ginger dressing - See recipe on this blog

  • Taco salad

Daily Supplements for ADHD and total Brain Health

Daily ADHD and Brain Health supplements for a Lifetime:

Take these supplements to help prevent and treat depression, anxiety, memory, ADHD, dementia, alzheimers, & overall Brain Health

This list is from an excellent book called ‘Grain Brain’ by Dr David Perlmutter, MD



DHA. DHA is a powerful antioxidant and crutial for ADHD and brain health. Look for a DHA supplement that comes with EPA. A good DHA supplement comes from marine algae, Cod liver oil, or a fish oil supplement. 
Adults: Take 1000mg 1x/day.
Babies up to 18months: 100mg daily
Children: 200mg daily
Children with ADHD: 400 mg daily

Alphalipoic fatty acid is a powerful antioxidant. 300mg daily

Coconut oil. Take 1 tsp 1x/day. Take it straight or cook with it when preparing meals.  The MCFAs are crucial for ADHD and brain health.  MCFAs improve memory function.  Coconut oil is the only way to get MCFAs.


Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone.  It is a happy hormone that reduces depression, anxiety, and systemic inflammation. New research suggests an optimal level of Vitamin D is 80-100ng/mL. If you’re blood level is under 50mg/dL, then take 10,000iu 1x/day until your blood level reaches 80-100mg/dL. Aim for a maintenance dose of 3000 - 5000 IU 1x/day after optimal level is reached  

Resveratrol. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant. It is a water-soluble supplement so take 100mg capsule 2x/day.  Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol-rich flavenoid found in grapes and is one of the great NRF2 activators. It slows down the aging process, boosts blood flow to the brain, promotes heart health, and curbs fat cells by inhibiting their development. It also has a favorable effect on gut bacteria  

Turmeric. Take turmeric 500mg 2x/day for the benefit of the curcumin in the turmeric

Probiotics.  Probiotics for gut/brain health. A good probiotic supplement contains at least 10 strains of bacteria, including lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifido bacterium, and has at least 10 billion active bacteria per capsule. Take 1 capsule at a time on an emply stomach at least 30-60 min before a meal. Take up to 3x/day

Coconut Oil enhances Brainpower and Memory

Article from veryhealthy.life

Unrefined Coconut Oil is a powerful superfood that has a huge list of health benefits.

The MCFAs present in unrefined coconut oil has been proven to help older adults with memory problems. One study showed that all the patients had an improvement in memory function after taking MCFAs. MCFAs are absorbed right away in the body and don’t have to use insulin. MCFAs can fuel brain cells very efficiently. Scientists are discovering more benefits of coconut oil every month. If you’re looking to incorporate more superfoods into your diet, start with coconut oil.

My favorite homemade Italian Dressing Recipe made with Olive Oil

My favorite Italian dressing made with Extra virgin Olive Oil 

https://natashaskitchen.com/italian-dressing/




Goals and Food Rules from "Grain Brain: Whole Life Plan" Book by Dr Perlmutter

 Chief Goals of mental and physical Well-Being and Disease Prevention From Ch 2 are:

1. To reduce and control systemic inflammation

2. To turn your body into a fat-burning machine using fat for fuel

3. To balance levels of beneficial bacteria in your belly

4. To balance your hormones and Increase Leptin sensitivity.

5. To take control of your own genes

6. To balance your life. Contentment and disappointment, Gratitude and frustration. Taking personal time and valuable connection time with others, Receptive instead of reactive. Action and relaxation


This is a whole life plan. It is ok that it takes time to implement to sustain for the longterm. 

Be patient with yourself.  Tune in to how your body is re-tuning and changing for the better. 

You are recalibrating one day, one meal, one thought at a time and will see the results build up over time. Enjoy the Journey. Take a deep breath. Relax. Get ready to discover a whole new you

The Food Rules Ch 3

Although healthy thoughts and a strict sleep plan are important parts of the picture, the above goals are mostly diet-related.  1:30:30 - 2:19:00


1. Evict gluten, even if you think you don't have a problem with it. Glutens and Gliadins silently pump systemic inflammation to every cell of the body and brain of every human being.  Everyone is sensitive to the glutens, gliadins, zonulins, exorphins, and glyphosate in wheat and other gluten-containing foods.

2. Go low carb, higher fat and fiber

3. Abandon real sugar, processed sugar, and artificial sugar

4. Avoid GMO foods

5. Watch out for too much protein and protein from the wrong sources

6. Embrace the incredible egg

helps ulcerative colitis, IBS, obesity, and depression. 

It helps build a healthy gut to in turn helps build oxytocin in the brain

It helps with H2 SIBO and SIFO and Dysbiosis. H2 SIBO can be tested using an H2 breath device or look for symptoms such as ulcerative colitis, IBS, obesity, and depression. Dysbiosis is an imbalance of bacteria that affects only the colon. A stool test can reveal dysbiosis. This yogurt and/or a fecal transplant can help cure dysbiosis

 This specific mixture combines the upper GI-colonizing effects of 2 L. Reuteri strains and L. Gasseri with the bacteria-producing capacity of all four strains and species of microbes. 


Ingredients

10 BioGaia Gastrus tablets crushed (total 2 billion CFUs) includes 2 strains Lactobacillus Reuteri DSM17938 and Lactobacillus Reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 (BioGaia Brand on Amazon), or 2 Tbsp of L.Reuteri yogurt curds and/or whey

1 capsule Bacillus Coagulans GBI 30686 (2 billion CFUs) (Schiff Brand on Amazon), or 2 Tbsp of B. coagulans yogurt curds and/or whey

 2 Tbsp prebiotic fiber (inulin or raw potato starch)

1 quart Darigold Half and Half 

 

Directions

In a medium, combine the starting probiotics, 2 Tbsp prebiotic Fiber, and 2 Tbsp organic half and half. Make a slurry to ensure the probiotics and the prebiotic fiber do not clump. Mix well. Stir in the remaining half and half. Stir. 

Place in your fermenting device. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Ferment at 106 degrees F for 36 hours. To make future batches, use 2 Tbsps of curds or whey from a prior batch instead of the tablets and capsules. 

Eat 1/2 cup two times per day.



 


>> B. Infantus Momma Gut Yogurt Recipe << 

If a pregnant mother has the beneficial B. Infantus bacteria in her gut, then she passes it on to her baby via vaginal birth and breastfeeding. This amazing bacterial strain helps reduce the number of infant bowel movements, reduce diaper rash, reduce colic, improved and prolonged sleep, improve long-term health of baby by reducing risk for future asthma and autoimmune disease

Ingredients:

1 packet Bifidobacterium Infantis ECV001 (Evivo brand)

2 Tbsp Sucrose or Raw Potato Starch Ffiber (B. infantus cant eat inulin, don't use inulin)

1 quart Darigold half and half

Super Gut plan Week #1 - Remove Weeds and Prepare Soil for Healthy Gut Flora

Conquer gastric inflammation, SIBO, SIFO, and Dysbiosis of the Colon

Notes from 'Super Gut' by Dr William Davis and Grain Brain life plan by Dr Permutter


Eliminate the many factors that encourage the growth of harmful bacteria:


Avoid Sugar and sugar-containing foods (and be prepared for the opioid withdrawal process that accompanies this essential dietary change):

corn syrup

high fructose corn syrup

cane juice

crystaline fructose

fructose

sucrose

malt

maltose

maltodextrin

dextrose

beet sugar

turbonato sugar

invert sugar

aspartame

cyclamate

saccharine

sucralose

lactose, use sparingly 



Avoid artificial sweeteners:

    Aspartame

    acesulfame

    neotame

    advantame 

    sucralose

    saccharine

    maltitol

    sorbitol

    lactitol



Avoid all grains and all forms of wheat due to glutens, gliadins, exorphins, WGA, zonulins, systemic inflammation, and opiate addiction. Be prepared for the opioid withdrawal process that accompanies this essential dietary change.


Remove GMO soybeans and Edemame from the diet. Non GMO fermented soy such as Natto and Miso are OK to consume, but they have a strong flavor and are an aquired taste.

Remove all GMO soy products from the diet:

Tofu

Tofu hot dogs

Tofu burgers

TVP

Soybean oil



Remove GMO corn from the diet. 90% of corn grown in the US is GMO.


Avoid Emulsifiers, Surfactants, Solubilizers, Thickeners, and the preservatives found in factory ice cream, Jif Peanut Butter, store-bought bread, almost all processed foods, etc.

    Polysorbate 80 

    Carboxymethylcellulose 

    Carrageenan

    Dextrin sulfate

    propylene Glycol

    Lecithin

    Hydrogenated vegetable oil


Avoid NSAIDs - they are potent disruptors of the mucous lining: Ibuprofen

Naproxen

Advil, etc


Avoid, or slowly wean off of, stomach acid-blocking drugs:

    Protonix

    Prilosec

    Tums


Avoid statin cholesterol drugs with the help of a well-informed doctor. 



- - - - - 

Encourage the many factors that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria:


Choose organic food whenever possible


Replace wheat and grains with the following flours and mills:  

    - Almond meal

    - Coconut meal

    - Pecan meal for pie crusts

    - Walnut meal for pie crusts

    - Ground golden Flaxseed meal

    - Seasame flour

    - Lupin flour

    - ground psyllium seed

    



Supplement daily the essential nutrients lacking in modern diets that impact the microbiome and the single-cell wall intestinal barrier. Do these supplements for a lifetime:

    

    - Vitamin D3 5000-6000 IU per day with a meal or high fat snack. Test blood levels within 6-12 months of starting supplementation. Current research says optimal level is 60-90ng/dL

    - Preformed Vitamin A. It is found in liver 3oz 1x/week or a cod liver oil supplement 1 Tbsp per day. Optimal level is 0 8-1.2

    - DHA +EPA 3000-3600mg daily from a clean-sourced wild fish oil supplement. Take 1500-1800mg in the morning and 1500-1800 mg at night or with dinner

    - Iodine 350-500 mcg per day from Kelp tablets to encourage thyroid hormone balance (iodine is found in most multivitamins, but 150mcg iodine/day is only enough to avoid a goiter)

    - Elemental Magnesium 450-500 mg per day divided into 2 doses. This helps feed beneficial bacteria. Most people have a magnesium deficiency

    

Begin a 1-week course of curcumin 300 mL 2x/day to begin to rebuild the intestinal barrier and address dysbiosis.   Then begin a 3-week course of curcumin 600mL 2x/day for the rest of the 4-week program. Check label to make sure there is NO additives to the curcumin such as piperine or bioperine so the curcumin doesn't absorb so it can help the gut lining. Dr William Davis says to Stop daily curcumin use after the 1-4 months of the Super Gut program. Dr Perlmutter says to take curcumin with piperine or bioperine daily for a lifetime to support brain health and prevent chronic brain disorders such as ADHD, dementia and Alzheimers.


Add some sea salt to your diet to help balance electrolytes


Drink lots and lots of filtered water.  Drink in oz half your body weight daily. If you weigh 126lbs, then drink 63oz water daily. Dying destructive bacteria release a host of biproduct toxins. Water is needed to wash out the toxins


Drink Clove oil cinnamon tea everyday for the eugenol


 

Stick to a Net Carb count of 15g or less per meal. ( g of Net carbs =  Total g of carbs - g of Fiber) Anytime you exceed 15g of net carbs in a meal:

    You raise blood sugar

    You raise insulin

    Contribute to insulin resistance and leptin resistance

    Gain weight 


Replace sugar with these non-caloric or minimally-caloric sweeteners:

    Natural Stevia

    Allulose

    Monk fruit 

    Erythritol

    Xylitol    

    Inulin

    Swerve = inulin + erythritol

    Truvia =

    Virtue =

    Lakanto = monk fruit + erythritol



Look to Obtain and maintain Optimal blood test levels of :

    - Insulin       4.0 mIU/L or less

    - HB A1C         5.0% or less

    - Ideal blood sugar     70-90 mg/dL
