Citrus â Fruits containing citrus, like oranges, can help boost testosterone production and make the hormone more effective. Citrus contains Vitamin A, which is required for testosterone generation. Citrus can also help lower cortisol and estrogen levels, making testosterone more effective.
Just one thing, back the time I was searching what is better if Chlorella or Spirulina, and based on many articles it seems that Chlorella is a little bit better, it has also B12 beside some other things, which Spirulina does not have it. You can look also at this.
Cooking food destroys enzymes, agglomerates proteins and reduces/eliminates all energy/life in food.
I will eat meat but itâs low. And with beef, I lightly cook it in my wok and itâs half uncooked. Chicken as well, basically a light sear. But I prefer fruit and veggies(steamed or raw) mostly.
Angstroms are the measurement of energy. Like kirilian photography, showing the electrical field of raw food vs no energy/light in cooked food. Meat is inert and void of life. Your body is robbed of enzymes in order to digest âdead foodâ
Look into it, it makes sense.
âŚ
Fruit has 9k to 10k angstroms of energy. Veggies 5k to 6k raw.
Youâre what you eat, so consuming âenergyâ increases yours. Consuming dead food, lowers your energy. Ever feel sluggish after a big meal?
Also, look into food combining. The sandwich and the donut are the worst inventions ever. Ppl who eat âsteak n potatoesâ lmaoâŚthey donât understand. You donât mix protein and starches.
The body uses amylase to break down carbs which is in an alkaline medium. The body uses peptidase to break apart protein into amino acids that the body can utilize. Protein = a chain of amino acids and the body cannot use it. It has to be broken down in an acid medium.
So consuming protein + carbs causes opposing mediums in digestion and since the body uses carbs for energy, amylase will always take priority in digestion. That means the proteins go undigested in the gut, ferment and putrify causing gas and parasites.
Is not a reason that we have the biggest brain compared to the body in the whole animal kingdom thanks to cooking food and by that extracting more nutrition than if we ate only raw food?
I do not believe cooked food is the reason for our cognitive supremacy on this planet.
Food is simply a means of energy, a form. When you cook something, you heat it. Heat destroys. It also melts, concentrates and welds. None of which creates or provides energy. Heat is also acidic.
I am also not arguing to be a raw foodist. I am simply sharing information, not pushing any agenda. Live your life as you see fit
I eat some cooked food and I feel subpar from it but itâs my choice. I choose to minimally cook what food I prepare also. I also juice and eat raw as well.
Cooking can for sure negatively affect the nutrition of the food. I agree with you there.
However, youâve contradicted yourself. You said that it eliminates all energy/life in food which is clearly not the case because you yourself consume cooked food.
It is still providing you with nutrition, albeit potentially less than what it could be. That may be objectively unideal but itâs not that simple when you consider the effects of cooking on bioavailability. Some foods are difficult to digest unless cooked and in some foods cooking actually helps get rid of anti-nutrients that negatively affect the absorption. Itâs not a black and white scenario. Iâm not quite understanding where these extremes come from, especially when theyâre anecdotal with no scientific backing.
Angstroms, kirlian photography, electrical fields⌠none of that matters when it comes to measuring energy in food. Thereâs a thing called a calorie, lol.
Calories are far superior at directly reflecting the amount of energy in the food because theyâre derived from the macronutrients. Youâre actually getting a measurement of the energy the body gets from consumption in relation to nutrition.
Angstroms and energetic photographs canât tell you how much fat, protein and carbs are in the food. Macronutrient composition.
This theory was created in 1911, by a physician named William Hay.
â[Hay] believed that carbohydrates and proteins should never be eaten at the same meal because the body uses alkaline enzymes to digest carbohydrates whereas acids work on proteins. Thus, if a person ate both types of foods together, the alkalines and acids would neutralize one another, the stomach would be unable to digest anything, and the food would simply rot in the intestines⌠His theory was exposed as flawed because the alkaline enzymes operate in one part of the intestine and the acids in another.â - wikipedia
Is his theory correct? Well, there is no scientific study in the past 112 years to support this. None that I could find. If you can show me one then I might consider it. It doesnât even have to be direct, it could be theoretical, potential or suggestive.
I found this:
Combination of protein and carbohydrate supplementation significantly enhanced muscle glycogen storage and recovery. That doesnât sound like itâs impairing digestion or nutrient absorption. Lol.
