Let's talk about salt, baby! π§πͺ
For years, we've been told to avoid this pantry staple like the plague, because it's been framed as the ultimate villain behind hypertension. But what if we told you that salt isn't the enemy it's been made out to be? In fact, low salt intake can actually lead to the deregulation of aldosterone, which in turn can cause hypertension. The real culprit behind high blood pressure? Metabolic dysfunction. That means that lifestyle factors like stress, lack of sleep, and a diet high in processed foods and sugar are more likely to blame for hypertension than that pinch of salt in your food. So go ahead and season to taste, but don't forget to take care of the rest of your body too! πΏπ

Tom Brady's Diet
Think twice before biting into that juicy tomato or indulging in some spicy peppers, because did you know that nightshades contain antinutrients that can wreak havoc on your gut health and even lead to systemic inflammation? As much as we love their vibrant colors and bold flavors, it's important to be mindful of the potential consequences. So if you're experiencing any digestive issues or unexplained inflammation, it might be time to reevaluate your relationship with nightshades and opt for alternative ingredients instead. Your gut (and body) will thank you in the long run! πΆοΈπ

Why Organic is Important
Buying organic does not mean that you are safe from pesticides. Organic produce still has pesticides, but at least it has to follow stricter guidelines in terms of the quantity and quality of chemicals used. By buying organic you also protect yourself from ingesting GMO's.
If available where you live, try to go to a local farm that actually does not use any of these harsh chemicals. Not only are you helping the local economy but you are getting the safest produce possible.

Your Genes Don't Dictate Your Future
We used to think that our genetic makeup was our life sentence. However, that is not true. This is what you can do if you have bad genes!

Before, humans would spend long periods of time without food. Many times due to shortage, other times due to the lifestyle they lived. The point is that our bodies learned how to live without constant access to food and they used those fasting periods to recycle and repair our systems. Nowadays, for most people, the reality is different. We live surrounded by food and our bodies never have enough time to recycle and repair. They are in this constant growth phase. And, as you know, uncontrolled growth is not something we should aim for. After all, that's the modus operandi of cancer. Knowing this, it is essential to learn that our bodies need periods of fasting so they can have the opportunity to repair, recycle and heal. This is essential for a long and healthy life. Do you practice any form of fasting in your day-to-day?
We are conditioned to believe that our genes dictate our fate. And while they are important, they do not fully control your health. You can have 2 twins with the same genetic composition, but one is incredibly healthy and the other incredibly sick. Same genes, different outcomes. What you eat and how you live will be essential in turning these genes on or off(epigenetics). In other words, your choices will determine your health. Are you making choices to empower you or to make you sick? #neohacker #neodiet #biohacking #healthyliving #healthhacks #humanoptimization #epigenetics #genetics #youdecide #naturevsnurture
