Nourish you body
Chris Kresser på bloggen The Healthy Skeptic har skrivit ett intressant inlägg om näringen i maten.
"The problem with these approaches is that they ignore the fact that not all macronutrients are created equal. There's a tremendous variation in how different fats and carbohydrates affect the body, and thus in their suitability for human consumption. Grouping them all together in a single category is shortsighted - to say the least."
I del tre tar Kresser upp hur transport och lagring påverkar näringsinnehållet i våra livsmedel
"Without exposure to light (photosynthesis), many vegetables lose their nutrient value. If you buy vegetables from the supermarket that were picked a week ago, transported to the store in a dark truck, and then stored in the middle of a pile in the produce section, and then you put them in your dark refrigerator for several more days before eating them, chances are they've lost much of their nutrient value. A study at Penn State University found that spinach lost 47% of its folate after 8 days."
Del fem handlar om tarmfloran
"We've only recently begun to understand the extent of the gut flora's role in human health and disease. Among other things, the gut flora promotes normal gastrointestinal function, provides protection from infection, regulates metabolism and comprises more than 75% of our immune system. Dysregulated gut flora has been linked to diseases ranging from autism and Depression to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 diabetes."
