How to Prevent Coronary Artery Disease Progression With One Simple Fruit
I have determined through my own personal biohacking experimentation that a ketogenic diet is an optimal diet for my metabolism.
In fact what most people refer to as a ketogenic diet is more appropriately described as a modified Atkins diet as a strict ketogenic diet, such as that which is used for children with uncontrolled seizures typically consists of a diet which is composed of approximately 80% fat content which would be very difficult for the average person to follow.
The key to the metabolic benefits of ketosis is developing a state of metabolic flexibility such that the metabolism can switch back and forth effortlessly between burning fat (ketone bodies) and sugar – rather than getting hung up on the depth of ketosis.
And I am not fanatical about staying in ketosis – again the key is being able to effortlessly shift back and forth between burning fat and sugar.
One breakfast meal I will occasionally consume – which is certainly not ketogenic consists of organic berries (I will not consume non organic berries as they are one of the most extensively sprayed foods) with some organic yogurt topped with some seeds and nuts (pumpkin, sunflower, hemp hearts etc.) with a little drizzle of oil on top (typically avocado oil) – and a touch of nut milk.
To this meal I will ALWAYS add some pomegranate – and this is the topic of today’s newsletter.
Pomegranate provides many health benefits – listed below however what I wanted to focus on in this article is the substantial cardiovascular benefits provided by pomegranate.
Following is an article from the Green Med Info website, as well as the abstract from the referred to study.
