How to Make Up the Damage from Eating Refined Carbs ｜ DrEricBergDC

Video

so let’s talk about the best way to make up the damage after you consume refined carbohydrates

i’m talking about the breads the pasta the cereals the biscuits the waffles the pancakes

those refined carbohydrates not that you would ever get into those refined carbohydrates but

if you know someone who is consuming those you might want to send on this video so they can then

make up the damage first question is what is the damage of consuming refined carbohydrates

well you’re cramming a tremendous amount of fuel into the machine into the mitochondria

and it’s going to be overloaded with electrons and other things okay now at the same time

because those carbohydrates are refined that means you don’t get the benefit of antioxidants

and nutrients that are normally supposed to protect against this

oxidation and free radical damage but now what happens is the mitochondria because it can’t

utilize this fuel there’s a lot of byproducts that occur uh in the form of oxidants and free radicals

and that is what causes the collateral damage the microvascular inflammation that targets the retina

of the eye the kidney the heart specifically the inside of the arteries as well as your brain

and the nerves now that you know what the damage is what can we do to make up the damage

well antioxidants all right most of the antioxidants that you’re going to get

come from plant source but you can also get them from fish and seafood because omega-3 fatty acids

can act as an antioxidant not to mention other things like selenium and even organ meats have

significant antioxidants in heart meat you have very high levels of coenzyme q10 in fact

10 times that of tocopherols which is part of the vitamin e complex all right secondly

you do not want to get your antioxidants from synthetic vitamins specifically

synthetic antioxidants you may or may not know this but the majority probably 99.9

of all the vitamins sold you know like the vitamin a vitamin e vitamin c are made

synthetically okay you do not want to get your antioxidants from those so-called nutrients why

because the studies that demonstrate antioxidants actually increase your mortality are done with

those synthetic antioxidants not from actual food antioxidants so anytime you take vitamins and you

want to get antioxidants make sure they’re a food concentrate or a natural plant-based type

vitamin but not the synthetic versions if you want more information on that i put a link down below

ideally you should get your antioxidants from salad vegetables cruciferous and a lot of herbs

and even green tea is a great thing to do and at the same time you want to avoid omega-6 oils

grains and animals who eat grains by the way because it’s high in omega 6 which is

inflammatory ice cream because you have you’re combining fat with sugar which is even worse than

consuming sugar chips which is fat and carbs not a good combination creates a lot of inflammation

and then also when you combine like protein with sugar like barbecued ribs that type of thing

not a good combination because all that increases inflammation and free radical damage and not good

so when someone consumes refined carbohydrates we want to counter some of that damage by consuming

at the same time antioxidant type foods so after you consume a huge bowl of ice cream and

a loaf of bread followed up with a huge bowl of salad and that will reduce the damage hey before
