Nitric oxide from nitrates in vegetables, such as greens, not only improves oxygen efficiency, but also oxygen delivery by vasodilation of blood vessels, opening up our arteries so there’s more blood flow. https://bit.ly/3joxk0V

Sugar is one of the most addictive substances, and its effects on our health are staggering. It can harm your brain, body, and organs in ways we often overlook. In a baby’s brain, sugar is linked to ADHD, while in an adult's brain, it can contribute to dementia. Excess sugar affects the eyes, teeth, skin, sleep, blood, and can even lead to cancer. It’s time to cut back and make healthier choices for a happier life.

Our bodies deserve nourishment, not excess sugar that only adds weight, stress, and health issues. Understanding how sugar impacts your health can help you make better dietary choices. It’s not about restriction, but about making the switch to healthier alternatives that benefit your long-term well-being.

By reducing sugar, we give our bodies the tools to thrive—lowering inflammation, boosting energy levels, and improving our quality of life. A small change can lead to huge improvements. Choose foods that fuel you for a vibrant and healthy future. 💪✨

The fructose found naturally in fruits is packaged with fiber and antioxidants, which may help to explain why people experience positive health benefits when they eat fruits. Adding berries to a meal can help blunt an insulin spike from high glycemic foods, for instance. The fiber in fruits can help slow the release of the sugar, and fruit phytonutrients can help inhibit the transportation of sugar into our intestinal walls and bloodstream.

Similarly, the fat found in whole plant-based foods comes packaged with health-promoting nutrients, such as fiber and phytonutrients. Nuts can help lower cholesterol and oxidation, as well as improve our arterial function and blood sugar levels. Just a few small servings of nuts a week may increase our lifespan and lower our cancer risk. Removing saturated animal fat from our diet and substituting in avocados may lead to a significant drop in cholesterol and triglycerides. However, simply adding avocado without also reducing saturated animal fat intake does not appear to result in any benefits to cholesterol.
