Interesting Study on the Influence of the Father’s Diet

· ·

Such an interesting article! We (hopefully) tend to be cognizant of a mama’s health impacting a fetus/baby’s health and future health, but rarely do we think about what impact a man’s health has on the contribution of a child’s health outcome beyond uncommon genetic anomalies.
” A study found that after a 12-week high-fat diet [from ultra-processed foods], father rats had newborn daughters with approximately 30 percent reduced pancreatic beta-cell mass. Beta cells are crucial, as they produce insulin. “
We are largely what we eat…. and so are our babies! Nutrition is key to health (as is exposure to chronic …. even “low grade” chronic toxicity). Do not underestimate the impact your environment has on health outcomes.

Xylitol Risks

· ·

I have been wary about large (and regular) consumption of xylitol for quite some time simply because it may cause gut dysbiosis (when consumed in larger quantities) and dysbiosis never did anybody any favors 😬.
This was an interesting find by Dr. Laura Koniver, and I find it especially relevant given the number of people who are walking around with clotting disorders (some who know, but the vast majority have no clue) now because of the cov💉d jab side effects. I’ll post a link to the actual study in the comments.
Never stop learning, connecting the dots, and discerningly applying what is learned. Also remember that moderation is key. Xylitol in toothpaste does help prevent cavities and it’s a small amount, but chewing on gum that is sweetened with xylitol all day long or drinking drinks regularly that are sweetened with xylitol probably isn’t a great long-term plan. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more info on this topic.

Do you love education… Fireside chats, kitchen table talk, learning the tips and tricks you wish you had known earlier in life? Sometimes, in these events, you learn a nugget or two that are ultimately life-changing for you or someone you care about. (More than once, I’ve experienced a tip that might have even saved a life and I can’t even put a price on that!)

Insulin Resistance – part 4

· ·

Day 4: Insulin Resistance
 
Natural sweeteners have been around since the beginning of time. The earliest recorded sweeteners were sugar cane and honey (at least 8,000 BC), and it was a rare treat in a home….. it’s no longer a rare treat, especially not when we are knee-deep into the Holiday Season.
 
Nowadays, the average American eats over 100 lbs of sugar a year. (That’s the equivalent of eating / drinking 30 teaspoons of sugar a day, every single day). 😲😬
 
I love that God gave us foods He created to both nourish and heal. Olives have been around at least as long as sugar and many parts of the olive tree have usefulness. Take a look at this study using Olive Leaf Polyphenols: “Olive (Olea europaea L.) Leaf Polyphenols Improve Insulin Sensitivity in Middle-Aged Overweight Men: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Trial. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596374/
(after 12 weeks of consistent use of Olive Leaf Extract, the test subjects had an average 15% decrease in insulin resistance. And I quote……” The researchers noted that supplementing with olive leaf extract gave results comparable to common diabetic therapeutics.” )
 
There’s this study too…. (lots of great info! ) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8398612/ Pharmaceutical Drugs and Natural Therapeutic Products for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Of course, it’s just not possible to out-supplement consistently poor lifestyle choices. That said, for people who are attempting to correct some poor lifestyle habits, there are lots of options out there to support your efforts!
 
Do you incorporate Olive Essentials into your wellness routine? (There are several more reasons to do so in addition to supporting healthy pancreas activity 😉)

Einkorn Crunch by Young Living

· ·

Whaaaaat??? Oh, my word ya’ll….. these were sampled at the Convention this year and they are YUMMY! Like, addictive yummy! I’m so excited and just placed my order. The Zesty Salsa is your healthy answer to spicy chips while the Sweet Cinnamon satisfies that sweet craving in a good-for-you way, and finally…. the Ancient Sea Salt…. for those of us who love and appreciate the benefits of sea salt (it’s good for you! …… ditch the white table salt and use the healthy stuff!)
 
Did you try it at the Convention this year? Which one was your favorite? 💖
