hey guys today we’re going to talk about

the only carbohydrate

that has the potential to lower your

insulin can you guess it

fiber yes fiber is a carbohydrate

and it’s the only carbohydrate that can

lower your insulin

how the gut microbes in your large

intestine

eat fiber as their primary food okay

you can’t digest the fiber so they take

care of it for you

and then they turn it into short chain

fatty acids

they take the fiber and turn it into fat

so basically if you’re on a ketogenic

plan you’re consuming

a good amount of fat and you’re also

consuming fat through a via

through the fiber so let’s talk about

how this carbohydrate can actually lower

your insulin

one of the short chain fatty acids is

called butyric acid or

butyrate there’s others but this is the

one that i’m going to primarily focus on

right here

and by the way this fatty acid is also

in butter

so butyric acid improves

insulin resistance it lessens the

resistance to insulin

thereby lowering insulin all right

number two

butyric acid is the primary energy

source

for your colon cells all right number

three it decreases

inflammation so if you have ibs or

any type of inflammatory condition it

has the potential to do that as well

that’s why butyric acid from for example

ghee which is kind of like a filtered

butter

is really good for the colon and good

for ibs and any type of inflammatory

condition

number four it has the potential to

decrease risk of

colon cancer all right number five it

increases glutathione which is a very

very potent

antioxidant all right number six it has

neuroprotective properties

not just for the brain but for all the

nerves in your gut which you have

quite a few i recommend the fiber you

get

should be from vegetables the vegetables

will also provide a good amount of

potassium and magnesium which also

will improve insulin resistance okay

now a lot of times when we talk about

vegetables there’s a lot of questions

that come up

regarding bloating anti-nutrients and

i’m going to put a link down below of a

video that i

just released covering that in detail

all right guys thanks for watching and i

will see you in the next

video so i want to thank you
