hi this is Anita from Reluctant Low Carb
0:10
Life today I want to talk a little bit
0:12
about what we call the trifecta of
0:14
health about the three things that we
0:17
believe that everyone can do to live a
0:19
more healthy life and for us the
0:21
trifecta of health is about eating fresh
0:24
foods choosing fu foods that promote
0:27
satiety or help you feel full longer and
0:31
staying physically active i want to talk
0:33
about each of those and why we're why we
0:36
believe these are the three pillars for
0:38
a healthy life you know there's a lot of
0:41
fat diets out there there's a lot of
0:43
people talk about many you know fat
0:45
things or you should eat this way or
0:46
that way you know we've all kind of you
0:48
know gone through them where oh you know
0:51
you shouldn't eat fat or now you
0:52
shouldn't eat fat oh you shouldn't eat
0:54
carbs now oh you can't eat carbs or now
0:58
it's like oh in order to lose weight you
1:00
need to take a shot what we believe is
1:02
we believe that there are three pillars
1:04
that we can live a more healthy life
1:08
pillar one is about fresh foods one of
1:10
the most significant issues in modern
1:13
nutrition is the overconumption of
1:15
processed foods we live in a time where
1:17
foods are multi-processed when you go to
1:20
a grocery store today and you walk in
1:23
the aisles of the grocery stores most of
1:26
those foods in there in fact almost all
1:28
of them are processed in some way many
1:32
of them are what is known as
1:34
multiprocessed foods multiprocessed
1:37
foods essentially means that the food
1:39
has more chemicals than actual or real
1:42
food
1:44
when you you know shop around the outer
1:46
side of the grocery stores which would
1:48
have the fruits the vegetables the meats
1:51
you know the a lot of the you know the
1:53
dairy and other things like that would
1:55
be more or less the foods that are not
1:59
multi-processed as a thing of warning
2:01
here like if you get Greek yogurt that's
2:03
plain that is not alloc but if you get a
2:06
yogurt which has flavoring in it and
2:10
lots of chemicals then that makes the
2:12
yogurt multi-processed foods this is
2:15
what really makes it very difficult is
2:17
so much of the foods that people are
2:19
eating are multi-processed foods in fact
2:22
there's been some studies that have said
2:24
in some places of the western world you
2:27
know as the United States or UK or even
2:31
Australia some of the children are
2:33
getting 60 to 70% of their calories or
2:36
even more from allocessed
2:40
foods so we are great advocates of
2:43
eating fresh the way maybe your
2:45
grandmother ate your great-grandmother
2:47
ate eating fresh foods
2:50
fresh foods there's a lot of reasons why
2:53
they have a nutrient density meaning
2:55
that they are more nutrients more more
2:59
bang I guess I guess you think you know
3:01
more bang for the bite they have more
3:03
nutrients in them better digestion you
3:05
our body wasn't really set up to to to
3:09
eat all this allocessed food our body
3:11
was set up to eat to eat you know whole
3:14
foods real
3:15
foods stronger immunity they'll give you
3:18
things as vitamin C zinc and other other
3:21
things help boost your immune system
3:24
they can help stabilize your blood blood
3:26
sugar
3:27
levels and reduction of inflammation the
3:30
you know whole natural foods can help
3:32
you combat inflammation reducing the
3:35
risk of any types of chronic disease you
3:38
know so what does it look like to eat
3:40
you know fresh well it means you know
3:43
vegetables you know leafy green
3:45
vegetables uh broccoli cow cauliflower
3:48
flour even root vegetables peppers
3:50
berries apples citrus fruits and
3:53
seasonal produce you know grass-fed beef
3:56
pasture-raised chicken wild caught fish
4:00
eggs and plant-based protein source like
4:02
legumes and other types of beans healthy
4:05
fats avocados fat coconut oil
4:10
olive oil nut seeds and fatty fish even
4:13
like fish like salmon whole grains if
4:16
you're able to tolerate this would you
4:18
know you know brown rice oats and these
4:21
type of things in moderation so really
4:23
it's about eating healthy foods and all
4:26
these foods we're talking about pretty
4:27
much have a good what's known as satiety
4:30
or fullness benefit to it so why does
4:33
satiety matter tides is that feeling of
4:37
being full and satisfied after eating if
4:40
you've ever eaten a meal that was rich
4:42
with carbohydrates and maybe was sort of
4:45
an multi-processed meal and then oh I'm
4:47
so full and then an hour or two later
4:49
you're like I am so hungry that's
4:52
because you did not eat a meal that had
4:55
satiety or made you feel full so some of
4:58
the foods that have the you know highest
4:59
satiety would be uh protein does you
5:03
know protein helps you uh repair tissues
5:06
balances blood sugar and keeps you full
5:09
longer healthy fats can help you with
5:11
brain functions and support hormone
5:13
imbalances and keep hunger at bay we in
5:16
today's world become so afraid of fat or
5:18
fatty foods but the truth is some fats
5:20
can actually be very good for us fiber
5:23
you know if we eat foods that have fiber
5:24
it can be this it has a slow digestion
5:27
promotes gut health you know some of the
5:29
foods that have high satiety you know is
5:32
eggs lean meats fish Greek yogurt
5:35
cottage cheese tofu that type of thing
5:38
you know have high satiety you know
5:40
other healthy fats could be avocados
5:44
olive oil coconut oil and some fatty
5:47
fish like a salmon tuna fish some
5:50
high-fiber foods could be like you know
5:53
could be leafy greens they could things
5:54
that have chia seeds in them flax seeds
5:57
beans lentils whole vegetables so you
6:00
know these are the foods that if you can
6:01
concentrate eating more of these foods
6:03
you will feel full longer and you won't
6:06
be so hungry after eating the last
6:09
pillar is fitness moving and we're great
6:13
believers that any exercise you do or
6:16
you enjoy is the exercise that you
6:18
should do there is no right or wrong
6:21
exercise anything that you love to do is
6:23
something you should do for example I
6:26
used to bike a lot i got in some b
6:28
cycling accidents so I'm a little more
6:30
nervous on the roads especially as I
6:32
live in um Hanoi Vietnam so I'm more
6:34
nervous on the roads here where the
6:36
traffic can be bad so recently I found a
6:39
pool which is near my house and I've
6:41
taken up a lot of swimming i enjoy
6:44
swimming it's something I do at least
6:46
three or four times a week it's a great
6:48
exercise for me to get in the water and
6:51
to just swim and when I swim I don't
6:54
stop i just keep swimming and I use
6:57
programs which I've talked about here on
6:59
uh this podcast like my swim pro which
7:02
gives me a program i do different types
7:04
of training i enjoy that that keeps me
7:07
going there and so any exercise which is
7:10
a good exercise is the one that you
7:12
should do there's many benefits for
7:14
regular movement there's weight
7:15
management you'll get stronger muscles
7:18
and bones better heart
7:21
health your mental health you'll just
7:24
feel better the days that I exercise I
7:26
know I just feel better i feel better
7:28
about the day i get more things
7:31
accomplished i feel like I can conquer
7:33
more accomplish more i just get more
7:36
things done i don't feel as lazy as I
7:39
normally would and I ju I'm not as tired
7:43
the days that I don't exercise a lot of
7:45
those days I'm just like wiped out i'm
7:48
tired and it can actually give you more
7:50
mobility it can keep your joints
7:52
flexible reduce stiffness and
7:56
pain so it's all about finding an
8:00
exercise you enjoy one of the biggest
8:03
mistakes that people
8:04
make is they force themselves to do
8:07
exercises they hate
8:10
the key in consistency is finding an
8:12
activity you enjoy or if you don't enjoy
8:15
it and you know you need to do it like
8:17
some strength ch training then keep
8:19
doing it until you enjoy it because the
8:22
longer you keep doing it the more that
8:24
you'll begin to enjoy it and the more
8:26
you'll say yeah this maybe isn't really
8:28
so bad i felt that way a lot about boot
8:30
camp i go to boot camp about twice a
8:32
week and I have to say the first time I
8:34
did it I thought I was going to die i
8:36
thought I haven't done like you know
8:38
push-ups in so long or these mountain
8:40
climbers or these planks or these other
8:43
things the more I keep going and even
8:46
though one of the boot camps is 5:30 a.m
8:48
which is hard for me it's early morning
8:51
it gets me out there and the more I do
8:54
it the better I'm becoming the more I'm
8:56
enjoying it i can't say yet that I
9:00
absolutely love it but I'm starting to
9:02
enjoy it and that's the way it is that
9:04
when you start doing exercises like this
9:07
it helps you to be able to eventually
9:10
you will start getting better at it and
9:11
will hopefully enjoy it more there's an
9:14
8020 approach to fitness you don't need
9:17
to spend hours in the gym to be healthy
9:19
instead follow the 8020 rule which means
9:22
focus on small consistent efforts that
9:24
add up over time even 30 minutes of
9:27
daily movement can have make a huge
9:29
difference focus on small consistent
9:33
efforts to be able to move and if you do
9:35
that then you will find yourself in
9:39
better overall health so that so our
9:42
trifecta of health is basically start
9:44
your day right we believe start your day
9:46
right with a protein richch breakfast
9:48
with some exercise move daily even 30
9:51
minutes brisk walk or light workout
9:54
counts eat for satiety eat foods that
9:56
will help you feel full longer ditch
9:59
processed foods stay hydrated drink
10:02
water throughout the day and get quality
10:05
sleep and that's what we really believe
