Best potassium to sodium ratio of any nut. Chicken. Lean protein and taurine. LUNGS Pomegranate. Ellagitannins for airway antioxidant defense. Broccoli sprouts. Sulforaphane activates Nrf2. Up to 100x mature broccoli. Apples. Flavonoid intake tracks with better FEV1. KIDNEYS Parsley. Mild diuretic. Cranberry. Proanthocyanidins block bacterial adhesion. Lemon. Citrate binds urinary calcium. Same idea as prescription potassium citrate. SKIN Tomatoes. 16mg lycopene daily raised burn threshold ~20%. Salmon. EPA and DHA build the skin cell membrane.

A champion has changed his perspective 😮 @thomasdelauer and @georgesstpierre sit down and chat diet… Eating more and moving more. More food really did equal more performance when his job was output every day. It just came down to his timing instead of cutting calories. He eats a lot, but segments his meals appropriately. He stopped eating before exercise and training. Fasting raises norepinephrine, which drives ghrelin, and ghrelin acts on dopamine neurons. He feels sharper and trains harder than he ever did with food in the tank. Timing of food and over quantity. Same food but on a different eating clock changed everything for his health. 72 hours is his fasting ceiling. Past that his sleep broke down, and no fast is worth losing recovery over. Slow refeeds after fasting. He bloated badly the first time and learned to ease back in. He still eats too much sugar and says so. That’s why I trust the rest of it.
