My breakfast used to look like this but paired with a big glass of juice (basically sugar water with flavor) and a couple slices of white bread with cheap grain-fed butter and white sugar sprinkled on top of it 🙈 oh, and minus the veggies 😂
I used to think that was my trying to be “healthy”. Well, maybe I knew the sugar on the bread wasn’t healthy but I believe the bread, juice, and eggs/bacon were good for me.
Today, this is a typical meal for me and has come a long way. Grass-fed bacon from a local farm, pastured eggs, and organic veggies all cooked in @kerrygoldusa grass-fed butter.
According to the science that @davidperlmutter shares in his NY Times Best Seller “Grain Brian”, the 2 key mechanisms leading to brain degeneration are chronic systemic inflammation (basically your immune system always turned on to treat or attack an area inside the body) and free-radical production (byproduct of inflammation leading to “rusting” inside the body-normal process of metabolism until it becomes abundantly present).
This meal is full of healthy fats, quality protein, and nutrient dense veggies covered in fat so the nutrients can be absorbed as much as possible. All of this lowers the levels of inflammation through lower blood sugar levels and lower toxic exposure, and provides anti-oxidants to fight free-radicals inside the body.
To learn more, shoot me a DM or check out @davidperlmutter books “Grain Brain” & “Brain Maker”, @dave.asprey book “Headstrong”, @marksissonprimal book “the Keto Reset Diet”, and @markhymanmd book “Eat Fat, Get Thin”. 💚✌️
