What makes beans truly unique nutritionally is not only their high fibre content but the fact they contain a diverse family of fibres each with unique benefits on the human body.

That’s not even to mention the very low glycemic index and meaningful contribution of potassium, magnesium and folate too.

It’s not just that beans have a large amount of fibre, but it is as much about the fact their array of fibre is diverse and offers a set of benefits not always easy to replicate.

Following the recording of this video I confirmed that “dietarily” is indeed a real word.

The reality is that fatty liver disease increases dementia risk and so to do the physiological imbalances ( cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar) that tend to tag along with a fatty liver for an unpleasant play date.

Not to be a broken record here, but once again we can relatively easily make the case for beans coming to the rescue.

If you’d like to hear me talk about liver health and beans for an hour straight you should listen to my podcast chat with which is linked in my story + bio

Just 1/2 cup of beans per week leads to a 4% lower risk of fatty liver disease?

Impressive.

Perfect day to share this study because I just chatted about beans and fatty liver with on his podcast - you can listen to the episode via the link in my profile!

If you are looking to diversify your vegetable intake I think artichoke is a great avenue to explore.

Path of least resistance is get it jarred and pan or air fry with your favourite seasoning blend.

In today’s post I’m offering up one of the potential reasons why going from low to high magnesium intake helps our body better manage blood sugar & insulin response.

In people who are dealing with insulin resistance and poor blood sugar management ( who aren’t confident they consume enough foods with magnesium) then it is almost surely the case a higher magnesium diet ( which comes with many other bonuses) will absolutely help.

Check the links in my bio/profile for more magnesium content.

Pursuing a high polyphenol diet is a worthwhile endeavour made easier by the inclusion of dark chocolate in the routines of those who enjoy it.

I count myself among them.

Anyways, this post is about why dark chocolate doesn’t raise LDL despite a seemingly outrageous saturated fat content.

What’s the max % dark chocolate you can handle? See poll

Understanding the dose-response relationship that exists between soy protein intake and key cardiovascular health blood markers is very useful for omnivores who are trying to make the most of their willingness to pursue diversity in their protein intake - which is a wise pursuit.

Unfortunately, no such dose-response relationship exists when it comes to excessively texting someone who isn’t into you.

There is no supplement you can take for six months and expect a meaningful reduction in liver fat afterwards.

The two things you can do, however, are:

1. Do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity per week ( brisk walking counts)

2. Master your nutrition by working with someone who knows what that means as it relates to liver health

That person is me - comment “liver” below if you are ready to work with an expert to reverse MASLD.
