Nutrient Quality PT-1

October 09, 2019

That’s an offal amount of meat! B-vitamins & Iron.

You need iron to make 5-HTP the precursor for serotonin.

80-90% of serotonin is manufactured in the gut & around 70% of our immune system is located in the GI tract. So iron deficiency, GI distress, & immune activation could be an underlying cause of depression”. Eat your red meat, people.
Did you know, 1 in 6 Americans have diagnosed depression & there are more prescriptions written for SSRIs in the US than people to take them.

Also invest in quality meat. There was a headline about a toppled semi not too long ago- It was full of Skittles (yes, the candy) that were headed to feed cows. If you want to eat Skittle cows, totally up to you, but probably better to stick with (healthy) grass-fed cows. There is a huge difference in the price and quality of meats.. grass fed, free range, pasture finished, grain fed, grain finished, corn fed, soy finished. Did you know grain fed cows have a higher Oestrogen profile in the meat!?

How good is steak, seriously? But usually we’re lazyAF & just buy mince because it’s quick & easy. Or chicken because we ‘think’ it’s healthier!
Chicken actually has a much higher Omega6:Omega3 fatty acid ratio? I’m not saying chicken is bad but, yes too much Omega6 can be bad.
Mix it up, eat a variety, eat all the colours of the rainbow....
And every now and then swap that chicken breast fillet for a steak!

Do you even eat offal meat?

Make your own hand sanitiser

March 21, 2020

The active ingredient in this hand sanitizer recipe is the alcohol, which needs to comprise at least 60% of the product in order to be an effective disinfectant. The recipe calls for 99% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or ethanol (grain alcohol, most commonly available at 90%-95%). Please don't use any other types of alcohol (e.g., methanol, butanol), as they are toxic. Also, if you use a product that contains a lower percentage of alcohol (e.g., 70% alcohol) then you need to increase the amount of alcohol in the recipe or it won't be an effective disinfectant.

What are nootropics

March 16, 2020

To put it simply, nootropics are supplements designed with the intent of boosting brain power while maintaining brain health. Some refer to nootropics as “smart drugs” or the kind of pill that the protagonist in the film Limitless took that allowed him to maximise brain power and more. [1]
