Hey, good morning! Here is your Saturday 7 weekly roundup! ✅ How to solve obesity and diabetes:
I don't think this is a
coincidence. But I do think there's a simple fix. This is the US Food Consumption as % of Calories: - 70%: Processed Plant Foods (Oils, Refined Grains, Sugar)
- 5%: Whole Plant Foods
(Fruits, Roots, Vegetables)
- 25%: Animal Foods (Meat, Eggs, Seafood)
If we just delete the 70% category (processed plant foods, i.e. junk food) and keep the ratios the same, we get: - 80% Animal Food
- 20% Whole Plant Food
Problem solved.
🤔 Would that really work: Obesity and diabetes really started to take off after 1960. 1961: - Overweight/obesity under 15%
- Prediabetes/diabetes under 5%
2022: - Overweight/obesity over 70%
- Prediabetes/diabetes over 50%
We can look at what foods we started eating more of during this time.
The #1 biggest increase was vegetable oils, which are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fat. The modern diet has 20X more omega-6 than ancestral hunter-gatherer diets, mostly thanks to linoleic acid (LA), the main omega-6 found in seed oils. LA now makes up 10%+ of total energy intake, increasing the risk of obesity via ⬆️ cannabinoids and dysregulated insulin signaling. (r) Eliminate seed oils, sugar, and refined grains; eliminate obesity and diabetes.
🏋️♂️ Who was doing air squats:
Meat Health coaches and
clients competed in an impromptu challenge this week: No complaining, criticizing, or condemning. Every time you caught yourself, you had to do 10 air squats and post it in the team chats (using an
honor system). The challenge was based on the book, “A Complaint Free World,” by Will Bowen. Here's a nice summary.
The author also has a good
TEDx talk. I highly recommend taking the challenge!
🗣️ How to climb the ladder:
While I was reflecting on
the no-complaining challenge, I thought about the "other side of the coin." Complaining about circumstances and gossiping about others are external facing. There is an internal side to this too. We make excuses, have limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage.
When we take control of
what we say to others and what we say to ourselves (by bringing awareness to these dialogues), we empower ourselves to create the lives we desire.
🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"In
life, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives. It’s one thing to create change. It’s another thing—often unavoidable—to have change foisted upon you when you don’t expect it.
We all experience the blowing winds of change. Yet some of us still manage to reach our intended destinations. What
guides us to different shores is determined by the way we have chosen to set our sails. The way that each of us thinks makes the major difference in where each of us arrives.
Unforeseen circumstances happen to us all. We have disappointments and challenges. We all have reversals and those moments when, in spite of our best plans and efforts,
things just seem to fall apart.
In the final analysis, it is not what happens that determines the quality of our lives, it is what we choose to do when we discover that the wind has changed
directions.
When things change, we must change. We must struggle to our feet again and reset the sail to steer us toward the destination of our own deliberate choosing.
The set of the sail—how we think and how we respond—has a far greater capacity to alter our lives than any challenges we face. How quickly and responsibly we react to adversity is far more important than the adversity itself. Once we discipline ourselves to understand this, we will finally and willingly conclude that the great challenge of life is to
control the process of our thinking. – Jim Rohn
🔺 What's the blockchain trilemma:
In a world with google,
the challenge is not access to information, rather finding the "signal in the noise." What's important? What is true? When it comes to a blockchain, there is a trilemma between scalability, decentralization, and security.
👩🍼 How to make a baby stop crying:
As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend! Kevin P.S. If the baby is crying in the womb, it could be because of kale...
When mothers ate kale,
their babies showed a crying expression 2X as often! (r)
