Many raw foodist tend to be grazers as oppose to eating 3 balanced meals, which is traditional, in order for them to get sufficient calories. Which makes them more prone to tooth decay. Ideally, your day should be full of some period without eating, so your saliva can remineralize. Saliva is rich in calcium and phosphorus, which is a natural tooth builder. Whether you are one that tends to eat more often though out the day or you eat the traditional 3 meals a day this information is beneficial for both life styles.
Research is showing the cause of tooth decay is the lack of Minerals or the lack of proper absorption of them and not getting enough fat-soluble vitamins. Those specific vitamins are A, D, E and K.
If you lack proper ratios of vitamins, minerals and grains, seeds, nuts and legumes (containing phytates) in your diet, the blood chemistry and the ratio of calcium and phosphorous become out of balance. Which results in minerals being pulled from bones, causing tooth and bone loss. In turn, increases your risk of tooth decay.
To prevent or reverse dental decay try focusing more on foods like coconut oils, vegetable soups and organ meals. Consider supplements such as cod liver oil, magnesium and Vitamins A, D, E and K (fat-soluble). Meaning they will need to be taken with fat.
Leptin is known as the fat burning hormone
High Leptin=Fat Burning
In order to burn fat, your body depends on these two things:
High levels of leptin
Highly-sensitive leptin “receptors”
Research has shown that leptin levels drop by as much as 50% after just 7 days of dieting… and it only gets worse with each passing day. So how are you suppose to lose weight?
You can increase Leptin levels by:
Incorporating a cheat day into your diet
Add 10-20 mg of carbs daily after cheat day
Eat meats, veggies, fruit and nuts-whole foods
Leptin is what tells your body that you are full, so when levels are low you always feel hungry. Which of course, makes it very hard to stick with a diet of any kind. No one wants to feel hungry all the time, while trying to lose weight.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring chemical created by the body that provides cushioning for joints and connective tissues. Individuals with insufficient amounts of Hyaluronic acid may experience issues with osteoarthritis, TMJ, detached retinas, poor scar formation, wrinkles, fibromyalgia, glaucoma or heart valves. Hyaluronic acid is mostly found in animals, though there are a variety of non-meat options that can help increase Hyaluronic acid production in the body. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharides found in the joints, cartilage, skin and eyes of animals.
Magnesium is essential for Hyaluronic acid synthesis; a lack of magnesium in the diet may be part of the cause of low Hyaluronic acid levels. Soy is rich in magnesium, as is spinach, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, potatoes, green lettuce and carrots.
A variety of magnesium-rich fruits are available: apples, bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, avocados, pineapples, oranges, papayas, melons, peaches and pears. Legumes such as kidney beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas and lentils are rich in magnesium. Peanuts and almonds also contain magnesium.
Zinc-Low levels of Hyaluronic acid has also been found in individuals with low zinc levels.
Zinc is utilized for a variety of bodily processes. Usually associated with foods rich in protein, such as beef, lamb, pork or chicken, there are a few non-meat options.
The best vegetable source for zinc is pumpkin seeds. Potatoes are also a good source, as is yeast, peanuts, beans, whole grains or brown rice.
