Planted-Based Eating
Watching the series “Mars” on Netflix. They are trying to grow their own food so the colony will be self sustaining. The lead person for promoting the growth of the plants has this line about human beings: “Without plants, we are nothing.”
Sugar High
Picked up a 20 oz. bottle of Pepsi that was lying on the ground, and read the ingredients. It has 69 grams of sugar!! Why aren’t these companies being sued for selling drinks to the public that endanger public health — would be my question. 69 grams of sugar equals 17 teaspoons in just 20 oz. of liquid. Almost a teaspoon for every ounce.
ORAC Values
The ORAC value of clove powder is off the chart, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to incorporate it into my diet, as the taste is not very appetizing. I suppose I could put it into smoothies.
With all the attention on free radicals, it is surprising to me that more people don’t seek out foods with high ORAC values.
The last thing I eat every day, without fail, is an apple cut in half with both halves sprinkled with cinnamon — another ORAC all star.
What are your ORAC all stars?
Triglycerides
For as long as I can remember, my triglycerides number has been very troubling. Always in the 300+ range and usually generally well into the 300s. I think I actually had a number in the 400s at one point.
Try as I might, I could never get that number down to even a half way reasonable level. Never.
But now I’ve been doing 18:6 intermittent fasting for about 12 months. The entire purpose is to get the body to use ketones (body fat) and not just glucose. The theory is that after 12 hours from your most recent meal, the body begins to use stored fat in addition to glucose, so with a 18:6 regimen, you get 6 hours with the body burning some stored fat.
And surprise surprise my most recent triglycerides number is 103. I did a double take when I saw the number — couldn’t believe it. But it makes perfect sense — triglycerides measures fat in the blood, and the IF goal is to burn body fat.
Fruit?
How much fruit do you eat each day? This was the fruit I ate today:
1 apple with cinnamon sprinkled on each half
1 orange
1 nectarine
1 banana
4 prunes
3 figs
1 small can (Doles) of crushed pineapple
blueberries covering the crushed pineapple
7 large strawberries
slices of cantaloupe
dried cranberries and goji berries sprinkled in a salad
This was a pretty typical kind of day for me fruit wise. I might have 2 apples instead of 1 or 2 oranges. But the above is typical for quantity and variety. How about you?
