Australia which gave us some excellent Nutritional leaders and pioneering research in Nutrition, lately has ben sending cut and paste articles on Nutrition on various websites.
As Harari would say (21 questions for 21 Century, SAPIENS), pay for your information. Instead of listening to a Chiropractor pushing Co-Enzyme Q 10 for whatever benefit, you must read the original research, otherwise you would be joining the conga line of ignorance broadcasting falsehoods which you may want to convince the uneducated about the excellence of your products.
I am of Asian/Middle Eastern Background and aware of my peculiar nutrition and also what makes me feel good or takes me up the garden path. I follow Microbiome and I pay my pay respects to the Israeli scientists Eran and Eran at Weizmann Inst.
You can tell me whatever you want about Tomato and lycopene and how good it is, I cannot eat it because my microbiome contains a Tomato virus. Give me Brussels Sprouts and I am happy, Okra, throw them my way, Berenjina/Aubergine/Eggplant fill my plates.
My ancestors have lived east of Israel for the past two thousand years and Rice is an integral part of the food.
Today I decided to do an experiment on my self.
I am not anxious and in fact I am feeling extraordinarily relaxed, which is my usual state of affairs these days. Tranquility of this place and calmness of those around me all contribute to this feeling of excitement about life.
My sister prepared this lunch for me, with the greatest of care and love that is natural for her.
I took my pre Lunch Blood Sugar
Fish Fillet. Castero in Spanish. Marlin in English. (That reminded me that the revolutionary leader who was a fishing enthusiast died on 25/11/2016 four years ago)
Eggplant
White Rice from Vietnam
Black Beans
1/2 glass of home prepared Orange Juice
Ice cream with a small piece of cake
I finished the last morsel at the top of the hour and
One hour later the blood sugar was :
105 mg/dl
so just a pure Quantitative approach will not give you a good picture
Quality of food
Who prepared the food
Ambiance
the speed of eating . I like to eat slowly
any interruptions. No social media but conversations, yes.
How calm do you feel ? If you have to hurry to eat, do not eat.
20 minutes later I had a cup of Mint tea with Agave syrup
the Blood sugar was 110 mg/dl
2 hours later my Blood sugar was still 122 mg/dl
Bon Apetite..
