hello and welcome back I'm Barbara O'Neal today we're delving into the topic of nutrition and the importance of food separating myths from Facts nutrition is not just about calories it's about nourishing our bodies with the right nutrients to support overall health there are many myths surrounding nutrition that can lead to confusion for instance the idea that all fats are bad or that skipping meals helps with weight loss however the truth truth is that fats are essential for brain function and overall health and skipping meals can actually slow down metabolism in this lecture we'll uncover the

science behind nutrition debunk common myths and highlight the facts that can Empower you to make informed choices about what you eat healthy long life quality of life and there are people on the planet that do experience that I don't know if you've heard of the book Blue Zone you have our Time Magazine oh I think it was 15 years ago did also an article on Blue Zone they looked at we're going to particularly look at three groups of people that live long lives commonly into their hundreds quality of life and the journalist actually interviewed and

followed a lot of them and one was the Okana which is Japanese I think it's a Japanese island very hard for McDonald's to get to Islands and there's a there's a picture of a a um okarin woman 85 uh collecting seaweed in the in the shallow part around the island also the sardinians which is an Italian group of people and he was climbing Hills almost Mountains for this 90-year old man to check his goats and he could hardly keep up with them now the third group of people were the seven they Adventists and they are

a group of people that commonly have much better health so the three common denominators with these three groups of people were they're always active and tomorrow we're going to be looking at exercise number two they eat food in its natural state a lot of them are vegetarians the ones that eat meat it's not a large part of their diet and the third common denominator was they're very social you know social people aren't we and when we're social people our mind is not so much concentrated on us but on other people interesting that they were the

three common denominators food plays a crucial role in Health and Longevity as shown by the diets of long-lived groups like The okinawans sardinians and Seventh Day Adventists these populations prioritize eating food in its natural state often focusing on plant-based Di diets they consume lots of vegetables fruits legumes and whole grains which provide essential nutrients vitamins and minerals that support overall health meat when eaten is typically lean and in small amounts reducing the intake of unhealthy fats and processed foods that can lead to chronic diseases this diet helps maintain a healthy weight reduces inflammation and lowers

the risk of heart disease diabetes and certain cancers the first alkaline food I'm putting up here is the humble lemon and you might say no the lemon's acid it is and it's acid where it should be there's only one part in the body that should be acid you know where that is stomach stomach it must be acid if someone says I've got a very acid stomach I say praise God because if you don't have an acid stomach you can't break your proteins down how do you know it's acid well it's sore it's well you shouldn't

feel it I can't feel it means you haven't got a thick mucosa lining on the stomach we're going to look at water tomorrow and that's made up of water maybe it's because you're dehydrated remember you got to investigate I gave a presentation last night to a to a group and we had questions at the end and one question was what can I do for high blood pressure and I said well I can't answer that in 30 seconds but you can go to my YouTube lecture what can we do for this I said well all depends

on why it's what can I do for my sore finger all depends on why the finger sore so you got to investigate so I actually referred them to lectures I have online where you they can investigate everyone wants the a quick fix sorry there aren't any the quickest fix I know would have to be your hot and cold your hot and cold treatments you can get relief very quickly with your hot and cold water treatments now the lemon is acid where it should be that's why you'll find that most of our salad dressings have lemon

in them but when it is broken down in the gut and the minerals are dispersed and absorbed into the blood and thus to the tissues it has an alkaline effect because the lemon is high in the alkaline minerals which is sodium and pottassium calcium magnesium and ion these are the alkaline minerals and the lemon is high in the alkaline minerals don't you love the lemon every home should have a lemon tree and if you're in a unit you can have a lemon tree in a pot on your Veranda dark green leafy vegetables are also alkaline

forming dark green leafy vegetables we should be eating every day that's your kale that's your parsley that's your what you call them collard greens do you know I've never seen collard greens in Australia you can tell I'm in Alabama they're are popular food here but we do have spinach and silver bees kale we should be eating something of from the dark green family of vegetables every single day and if you don't you really should have a dose of green barley or super greens also vegetables vegetables have an alkaline effect but there is a question mark

with vegetables I'm putting a question mark here because for some people these have an alkaline effect and sometimes an acid effect it's the tomato and bell pepper or in Australia we call that capsicum also eggplant and some countries call this orine and last is the potato now this is not the sweet potato the sweet potato is actually not a potato the sweet potato is a yam I'm referring to the English potato or the Irish potato this is The Nightshade group of vegetables and for some people they have an acid effect and for some people they

have an alkaline effect let you let me tell you what I have found with me my mother died at 51 a in a wheelchair with rheumatoid arthritis I have strong inherited genes to that way and my body says to me a little tomato now and then my body says to me don't even touch the bell pepper what happens if I touch it oh it repeats on me all afternoon and my energy just goes so I say I'm hearing your body and I don't eat it the eggplant I have a a little eggplant now and then

maybe twice a month potato my husband's an Irishman potatoes must be in every main meal so I have it probably most days that's what my body tells me I don't know what your body will tell you now I could have 10 professors in front of me saying this is ridiculous Barbara the bell pepper is a very good vegetable it is high in antioxidants and vitamin C's you should be eating it who am I going to listen to body I got to live in this body that's why the fine tuning is yours no man on the

planet can tell you the fine tuning only your body can understanding how different foods affect your body is key to maintaining Health experimenting with your diet noticing how you feel after eating certain foods and keeping track of any reactions can help you determine what works best for you incorporating a variety of alkaline forming foods like dark green leafy vegetables and alkaline fruits such as lemons can contribute to overall alkalinity in the body however balance is essential while some vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers may have an acidic effect for some individuals they still offer valuable

nutrients and antioxidants it's about finding a balance that supports your body's unique needs when you cook the tomato with an oil and I think you'll agree with me olive oil and tomatoes go very nice they almost hand inand together and you look at uh Lebanese food Italian food there's a lot of tomato and olive oil cooking when it's cooked with an oil it releases a plant chemical called lopine lopine is from the fat soluble family and that's another reason why we should be eating a little oil with our meals because it helps release the fat

soluble vitamins lopine is a potent antioxidant and it has the ability to reduce the inflammation of the prostate gland so that's good news isn't it so every man over the age of 40 should be having a cooked tomato and olive oil dish maybe three or four times a week that's not hard lovely base for your for your chickpeas your Tomatoes your sorry it is tomatoes for your in fact that's isn't that Mexican your your kidney beans to have with your tacos or your tacos I think you call them adding olive oil to dishes not only

enhances flavor but also AIDS in the absorption of important nutrients like lopine this antioxidant not only combats inflammation but may also contribute to heart health incorporating tomatoes and olive oil into regular meals offers a simple yet effective way to support overall well-being whether in Mediterranean salads pasta sauces or grilled vegetables this combination remains a staple across diverse Cuisines for its nutritional benefits and Rich taste experimenting with different herbs and spices can further Elevate these dishes providing a delightful culinary experience while promoting Health the two nuts are your Armond and Brazil and all your seeds have

an alkaline effect so what has an acid effect before we go there there's one other is fruit now I've got a question mark with fruit too why have I got a question mark if someone has a yeast presence in their body and they're eating a lot of fruit the sugar in the fruit will feed the yeast and as the yeast feeds on the sugars in the fruit it gives off acetic acid it gives off lactic acid it gives off uric acid so basically is Feathering its nest so when a person has a yeast presence and

they're eating a lot of fruit can you see that they are feeding the problem and they're creating the environment of 5.5 where yeast loves to live and alcohol is also given off alcohol breaks down in the body to acetal deide and acetal deide is a neurotoxin we don't want a neurotoxin a neurotoxin is a brain killer there are five places you can be exposed to a settled de hide yes if someone consumes alcohol yes if someone has a yeast problem and they're having a lot of fruit it will break down to this cigarette smoke car

fumes give off a settle deide and the last one is vinegar vinegar surprisingly can also contribute to acetal theide exposure understanding these interactions is crucial for managing your health effectively when it comes to what you eat finding a balance between alkaline and acidic Foods is really important we've talked about how almonds and Brazil nuts are great for keeping your body alkaline along with seeds that also help in that regard on the other hand fruits can be tricky if you have issues with yeast because the sugar in them can feed the yeast and lead to more

acid in your body let's have a look at Acid forming Foods now these acid forming foods are high in the acid forming minerals which is phosphorus sulfur and chlorine so what foods are high in phosphorus sulfur and chlorine meat this explains why Dr Colin Campbell found he could turn cancer cells on and off like a switch by the amount of meat and dairy products he was giving the rats refined sugar it's very acid forming the hybridized wheat the hybridization of the wheat created a lot more of the acid forming minerals age cheese what's the blue

in the blue vein cheese the blue in the blue vein cheese is mold so the only cheeses that don't sit under that c agree the cheeses that have probably a pH of seven would be your fresh so that's your uh Cottage your rotta I'm not saying that they are okay because usually they come from cows who have not been fed right or have chemicals in them but on the pH scale they're not as as acid caffeine all your caffeine foods and drinks have an acid effect and of course caffeine usually comes hand in hand with

the sugar which certain the opposite and remember our 2.6 Coca-Cola that's a combination of the caffeine and the sugar did you know that cocaa is called Coca-Cola cuz I think it was in the early part of the the 20th century they put they put cocaine in it and then they went over to caffeine which is dust as dangerous alcohol is not a food but it creates an acid environment in the body tobacco is not a food but it also creates an acid environment in the body all your other grains other than the grains that sit

on the alkaline side all your other legumes other than the Limer lentil and soy and all your other nuts other than the Armond and Brazil have an acid effect to maintain the 6.5 environment we need to be consuming 20% acid forming foods and 80% 70 to 80% alkaline forming foods and I'm sure you're not surprised to hear me say that the 20% should come from this section here yes oatmeal is here yes rice is here here they're not bad grains we need a little acid yes your chickpeas are here and your gabano your chck your

chickpeas your blackeyed beans your kidney beans they're not bad of course they're not bad we need a little acid it's when the whole meal is acid that tips the scales how many how many Americans would be eating 90% acid 10% alkaline is that true no wonder cancer and heart disease are neck to neck for the number one killers in the world today far more people die from alcohol related diseases far more people die from tobacc related diseases and yet they're not Banning tobacco or alcohol are they that's why the deaths to co Fade Into insignificance
