Description
Dr James Nicolantonio, internationally respected scientist and expert on health and nutrition talks with Angela about immunity, why and when intermittent fasting works and the importance of natural nutrition and balance.
He explains the differences between the adaptive and innate immune system and how you can strengthen your own immune system through natural health and nutrition.
He shares great content on what you should be removing from your diet and how refined sugars and carbohydrates impact the body along with the negative role of seed oils and the positive role of organ meats as part of your diet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The immune system is traditionally referred to as innate and adaptive elements
The innate is an immediate response using white blood cells, macrophages and natural killer cells that attack the virus in a pro-inflammatory way.
Your T cells and B cells adapt to destroy a virus in a focused way and are part of your adaptive system.
The better adaptive immune response in memory to viruses the better you can deal with similar viruses when you meet them in the future
Children have a better T and B cell response along with a higher innate response.
Salt is used by our bodies to fight viruses but sugar dampens the body’s immune response.
People with metabolic syndrome are 3.5x more likely to have poor outcomes from Covid
You can fix the markers for poor metabolic health very quickly by removing refined sugar and refined carbohydrate intake
People who are at a high weight with more fat will benefit from fasting more.
Studies show that moderate exercise 3 to 5 days a week reduces the risk of upper respiratory infections
An excess intake of sugar will lead to insulin resistance increasing VLDL which will increase triglycerides in the blood.
Good amounts of omega 3 in your tissues means when there is inflammation your body can convert the omega 3 into resolvins and protectins.
Remove refined carbs and sugar along with including organ meats as part of your diet to achieve better health.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s important to keep your omega3 and omega 6 balanced’
‘Minimise or eliminate the consumption of omega 6 seed oil’
‘You can’t fix your age but you can fix your vitamin D levels’
