hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk about the nutrients that make your

muscles grow okay we’re also going to be talking

about other things that will slow down the breakdown of muscle so let’s say

you’re going into menopause you’re getting older and your muscles are

getting weaker and you’re having a lot loss of collagen and if your arm list

the videos for you or you just want to build up muscle the myth is that you

need just more protein to build muscle okay so check this out you eat protein

which is basically animal muscle you might have eggs you might have fish it’s the

muscle of that animal and you digest it and your liver in your stomach and your

intestines and enzymes start breaking down into these small particles or

building blocks called amino acids okay amino acids are the foundational

building blocks of protein so it takes certain acids it takes certain enzymes

to break it down alright and they’re in their stomach it’s in the pancreas and

liver it’s in the small intestine so you have these enzymes so this whole

conversion of breaking down the protein and then building it back up require

these nutrients okay vitamins and minerals and other things so in other

words the purpose of vitamins and minerals are are basically coenzymes or

cofactors to help convert the raw material amino acids into body tissue or

other like fatty acids into a healthy tissue so we need the vitamins for that

and we also need these vitamins and minerals to support the enzymes which

are the magical workers that pull this off and it’s quite magical so we don’t

need more protein necessarily we need more of the nutrients the two top

nutrients that are mostly missing would be potassium and trace minerals

potassium because we need so much we need 4700 milligrams a day and there’s

not a lot of people that are consuming seven to ten cups of vegetables per day

so they’re not going to get the potassium and trace minerals because

it’s missing in our soils so if you don’t know the trace minerals it’s hard

to activate the enzymes alright there’s other vitamins that you need to like the

fat soluble vitamins vitamin A D E and K but specifically about him in

a and but most people get those and you need certain B vitamins which most

people can get easily and vitamin C these are all necessary in the

conversion into actual muscle tissue okay and of course if you exercise

you’re gonna break down tissue and you start building back up and that’s a

necessary thing but I want to go through some common issues that people have that

are might not necessarily relate to nutrition in general it relates to

amount of sugar and refined carbs so in the other videos I talked about insulin

resistance okay and that’s a condition where your cells no longer allow insulin

into the cell as much as it should so it’s kind of blocked and that’s simply

because there’s too much sugar in the diet so the body shuts it down because

of toxic so it doesn’t allow the cell to actually allow the sugar to go in the

cell anymore but because insulin is also involved in the absorption of protein

and amino acids you have this dual effective now you can’t get fuel but you

also can’t get amino acids in this cell so that’s why diabetics for example have

a lot of weakness in the muscle loss of collagen loss of muscle strength and

here’s the animation how it works you have the normal protein going in the

cell beat with the help of insulin like a key and then over here you have

insulin resistance where the cell is blocked insulin can’t enter anymore and

thus you have less protein in the cell less you have less muscle protein

collagen joint tissue you name it okay so insulin resistance is one thing and

then you also have stress in general those people that are adrenal body type

they’re stressed out what happens they’re activating a hormone called

cortisol cortisol is very it’s called catabolic it’s very destructive on the

muscles okay catabolic means breaking down anabolic means building back up so

when you have the muscle breaking down as particles in this animation you can

see these muscle particles are breaking down because of the high levels of

cortisol it basically then converts to sugar okay so protein is being converted

to sugar if you want another name of that it’s called gluconeogenesis

ss-sure glyco meaning sugar neo meaning New Genesis meaning the generation of

the formation of formation a new sugar from muscle eventually they get diabetes

because the blood sugars go up because the muscle protein is turning into sugar

primarily taken from your quadriceps and your thigh and the gluttonous Maximus

that’s your butt muscle so you see these cases with the adrenal over time they

have no but and they have no legs that’s all got in the middle part right it got

like a little try like a trunk and these stick legs

that’s the adrenal and that’s what’s happening with muscle so you can have

excessive stress causing a loss of protein you can have lack of nutrients

you can have high levels of insulin because the insulin is not working

insulin resistance pre-diabetes causing a lack of absorbable protein ok so here

are the do’s you want to do intermittent fasting in a minute fasting triggers

growth hormone growth hormone increases muscle preservation and retention of

muscle and muscle building ok so you need 3 meals maybe 2 meals a day ok I

have tons of videos on that you could watch that this whole four or five or

six small meals a day not good it spikes insulin it keeps your protein from going

in now let’s talk about snacks adding snacks spikes insulin again causes more

protein problems you would think that having protein snacks between meals

going to help your muscles know so you don’t want to do any snacks because you

want to be intermittent fasting because that way you can heal insulin resistance

okay now that’s why the pre and post meals or even protein meals is a bad

idea Gatorade filled with sugar not good

because this sugar is what we’re trying to counteract because it’s creating an

insulin resistance messing with your muscles okay now is far as a lot of

people this is a mistake they make they have protein powder so a whey protein

powder thinking they’re going to drive all this protein in the muscle but

that’s going to spike insulin you’d be better off having a fattier

protein then the more fat the less insulin spike the better okay moderate

amount of protein okay three to six ounces

don’t go with like massive amounts of protein like I see people just eating so

much protein thinking that’s helping them when it’s just overloading the

liver your body can’t handle that much protein it just put stress in the liver

if you’re 18 years old you can pretty much handle it but eventually it starts

slowing down I don’t even think at 18 you could probably handle too much then

we have the type of exercise if you ever see a long-distance runner they don’t

look very muscular do that they have they kind of have smaller muscles

probably because of the carbo-loading or just the glucose they consume if you

take marathon runners they have this thing called GU which is just pure sugar

and they’re taking this sugar they’re running out there doing a lot of carbs

unfortunately that’s going to create more insulin resistance and block the

muscle not to mention the sustain exercise increases cortisol and it

causes muscle wasting a much better exercise would be high-intensity

interval training because that can spike growth hormone and preserve your muscles

as well short bursts of high-intensity exercise full body very important sleep

is also necessary to increase growth hormone stress is not good so these are

the things you don’t want to do these are the things you want to do okay so

hope this summary helped and go ahead and apply it and give me your comments

hey I just wanted to take a moment to thank you personally there’s so many of

you that have gotten this book and the feedback that you’re giving me is

mind-blowing thank you so much I really appreciate it if you wouldn’t mind I

have one quick favor to put your unbiased review on Amazon I would really

appreciate it thank you so much
