I want to clarify all the talk about protein lately.

Eating protein alone doesn’t build muscle or automatically make you strong. If you’re not actually using your muscles, your body has no reason to grow or maintain them.

Resistance training is the signal. Protein, whether it comes from plants or animals, simply supports recovery.

So instead of stressing about protein sources, focus on challenging your muscles consistently. That’s where real strength is built.

"It has been shown that a diet rich in fruits, grains, beans, vegetables, nuts, and seeds may cut the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by more than a half."

🍵

This benefit applies to both green and black tea, though green tea may have a slight advantage. Part of this protection may be a lower risk of dying of pneumonia. Five randomized, controlled trials have shown that study participants randomized to green tea are about a third less likely to come down with the flu.

Within just one hour of drinking a single cup (200 mL) of green tea, we can significantly cut down on the rate of DNA damage in our cells. This is because green tea significantly boosts the activity of a DNA repair enzyme in our body that can fix DNA damage. And within a month, drinking two small daily cups (400 mL) of green tea can improve DNA resistance to free radical damage in the first place, indicating that green tea has significant genoprotective––that is, DNA-protecting––effects.

Unlike most antiviral drugs, green tea appears to work by boosting the immune system to combat diseases such as ge***al warts (caused by HPV) and the flu (caused by the influenza virus).

While diet may be king in preventing and treating the “disease of kings,” there are a number of other lifestyle strategies that can help with gout, including:

* Maintaining a healthy weight
* Engaging in regular physical activity (including low-impact exercise like swimming and walking at a moderate level of exertion)
* Managing stress (to reduce inflammation)
* Adequate hydration (water, plus electrolytes after profuse sweating)
* Limiting alcohol consumption
* Stopping smoking (particularly among men who used both regular and e-cigarettes)

The most pro-inflammatory food component is saturated fat, which is found in meat, dairy, eggs, and junk. These products also contain other pro-inflammatory food components, such as cholesterol and trans fat.

The most anti-inflammatory food component is fiber. It appears that an increase of just 10 extra grams of fiber per 1,000 calories would equate to four fewer years of cellular aging. Now, of course, diets high in fiber go hand in hand with diets with significant amounts of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. So, fiber may just be a marker of eating lots of whole, healthy plant foods.

Anthocyanins, the antioxidant pigments that give berries their bright red, blue, and purple colors, have been shown in dozens of randomized controlled trials to reduce inflammation.
Turmeric, garlic powder, and ginger powder were also found to reduce interleukin-6 (IL-6), a marker of inflammation. However, antioxidant supplements, specifically vitamins C and E, beta carotene, and selenium, as well as turmeric supplements, provided no benefit for reducing markers of inflammation.

How else can we bring down inflammation? By changing our overall diet.

When individuals switched to strictly plant-based nutrition, their diets flipped to become anti-inflammatory. Not all plant-foods are anti-inflammatory, though. If all we do is boost our intake of less healthy plant foods, like juice, white bread, white potatoes, soda, and cake, we can end up with more inflammation. A really clean diet of whole plant foods can also significantly reduce levels of Lp(a), something we didn’t even think could be achieved with diet, as well as drop our LDL cholesterol. It can reduce levels of inflammatory markers, too. We’re talking about a 30 percent drop in C-reactive protein and a 20 percent drop in IL-6.

Cutting down on both animal products and processed foods, while increasing intake of whole plant foods, may be the most effective dietary strategy to combat inflammation.
