all right well i found another reason  why you should be doing healthy keto  

surprise you know we know healthy keto helps with  weight loss and many different conditions but when  

you do healthy keto and intermittent fasting it  can greatly help your absorption of nutrients  

i mean the fasting alone is going to decrease  the need for the requirements of nutrients but  

what about healthy keto what can that do for  your nutrients one of the biggest things it’s  

going to do it’s going to start correcting insulin  resistance whether you have diabetes pre-diabetes  

or not the majority of the population has insulin  resistance and that alone is going to block  

the absorption of many nutrients okay the one i’m  going to talk about today is calcium okay to show  

you what’s involved in absorbing calcium it’s  it goes way beyond just taking your one a day  

centrum silver that a lot of people are taking  or someone who’s menopausal who’s taking their  

um calcium supplement which is basically  rocks they’re taking like one and a half  

grams of calcium per day thinking that’s going  to help them with their calcium requirements  

so let’s kind of go through the list just with  calcium number one when you fix insulin resistance  

okay you’re gonna instantly start helping yourself  absorb calcium all right number two when you start  

to do fasting and stop eating grains whole  grains and refined carbohydrates you’re going  

to start to heal the inside of your colon reducing  inflammation and all of that is going to increase  

your absorption because malabsorption in your gut  is a huge barrier in absorbing many nutrients zinc  

and definitely calcium now i’ve talked a lot  about vitamin d in other videos especially  

as it relates to calcium vitamin d helps a person  absorb calcium by 20 times okay so in other words  

if you’re deficient in vitamin d because you’re  not eating the right foods or taking the right  

supplements or whatever your calcium is going to  be 20 times less concentrated in your blood and  

calcium is very very essential not just in your  bones and your muscles but from the function of  

cell to cell communication i’ve done a whole video  on that if you haven’t seen that one i put a link  

down below it’s pretty interesting if you’re on  the wrong diet because you’re not doing healthy  

keto you’re inevitably going to be consuming  more phytates especially in whole grains and  

other things like soy and that’s going to block  calcium zinc iron and other minerals and then  

there are other foods that can actually block  nutrients as well like foods high in oxalates  

spinach chocolate almonds block calcium it doesn’t  help you if they’re high in oxalates because  

that calcium is unavailable to you now keto has  moderate protein okay it’s not high protein it’s  

a moderate protein there are some reports that  show that when you actually do too much protein  

that can deplete some of your calcium as well  it’s not just about taking a nutrient it’s about  

absorbing the nutrient and there’s a lot of things  that you can be doing and taking that can be not  

only blocking these nutrients but causing these  nutrients to be eliminated through your body  

and then when you have hormonal imbalances not  just insulin being a problem but also estrogen  

that can influence calcium as well and this is  why like women that go through menopause that have  

an imbalance with estrogen can be deficient in  calcium and it has nothing to do with taking  

calcium it has to do with the hormone imbalance  that doesn’t allow you to utilize calcium  

properly and then we get to your stomach acid  if you don’t have enough stomach acid you’re not  

going to absorb calcium too well you’re not going  to absorb iron too well you’re not going to absorb  

magnesium too well and so one of the cool things  about healthy keto is it’s going to naturally  

start clearing up conditions that can lead to  low stomach acid and also include as a part of it  

sea salt which is very necessary in building your  stomach acid and one more point if you’re not on  

healthy keto and you’re doing a lot of refined  carbohydrates those refined carbohydrates are  

going to greatly increase the demand for many  nutrients like vitamin b1 calcium in fact in  

the presence of glucose your body will not be  able to absorb vitamin c it’s going to absorb  

the glucose instead why because the chemistry in  glucose and vitamin c are very very similar and  

so again it’s not just about taking nutrients it’s  about getting them in your body and being absorbed
