hi guys in this video we’re going to

talk about lutein and your brain okay

like what is lutein well it’s a specific

phytonutrient which is a plant-based

chemical part of a family of what’s

called carotenoids carotenoids there’s

like over 600 different carotenoids

lutein is one of them and they’re

basically natural chemicals that give

you additional health benefits okay

usually from vegetables and other foods

as well specifically with lutein it

supports the retina of the eye so if you

lose the retina you’re gonna have

problems with vision and the retina is

like the back part of the eye equivalent

to film on a camera okay so it’s

photosensitive and then the brain so

lutein supports certain parts of the

brain so if you have dementia

Alzheimer’s

you’re probably deficient in lutein and

also lutein would be good as a

preventative measure against cognitive

degeneration the brain apparently sucks

up more lutein than any other

phytochemical and so it supports

cognitive it crosses the blood-brain

barrier it’s protective it’s also an

anti-inflammatory it’s in kale spinach

collard greens romaine lettuce Swiss

chard egg yolk yellow orange and green

peppers anything very colorful it sits

in there now one of the things that I

consume is a lot of kale this is my

blender and I just wanted to show you

what my how much kale I would use when I

blend it so I take about this much out

of a blender I’ll fill it with water and

I will also add I like blueberries these

are wild organic blueberries Trader

Joe’s I’ll put about maybe a half of a

cup to a cup of blueberries in this kale

shank I’ll fill it with water at the top

I usually freeze the kale so it comes

out a little bit better when I blend it

it’s easier to blend because it breaks

up easier and then I’ll also add about

one to two serving size of a wheatgrass

juice powder just to put the icing on

the cake and then I’ll add some lemon

juice in there probably an ounce and

I’ll put a teaspoon

of coconut oil okay and I’ll blend it

for a while like four or five minutes

cuz I really want it smooth and I have a

pretty seriously pretty real best

blender because I if you have a blender

that’s not very strong it comes out too

thick it’s not as creamy and snow it

doesn’t break down as much so you have

to get a good quality blender but the

reason why we’re putting the the coconut

oil is because Li teen and all the

carotenoids are fat soluble which means

that they dissolve with fats and they it

needs to be fed salable because it

crosses the blood-brain barrier into the

brain which is all fat so in the retina

is an extension of the brain so it’s fat

soluble so when you add a little coconut

oil you’re going to absorb more lutein

into your body if you don’t have a gall

bladder if your gall bladder issues then

you would add a little gall bladder

formula with it and that would really

drive it in because that has the bile

salts to help emulsify and break down

this fat soluble compound and that’s the

same thing with a salad if you’re doing

a salad kale cell that’s why you would

want to add the olive oil to add more

fat in there to help you absorb more of

the fat soluble nutrients okay so I just

wanted to kind of do a video on this to

explain the importance of lutein and

another reason why you should consume

kale thanks for watching hi guys hey

listen I created a pretty amazing

evaluation quiz down below that actually

analyzes your symptoms to find the cause

the root cause of all of your symptoms

the most likely cause so take the quiz

now and we’ll send you a report
