Diets high in processed sugars cause premature aging by decreasing telomere length. 🍩 Telomeres are the end caps of chromosomes that literally determine how long a cell will love. 🥤 The shorter the length of a cell's telomeres the shorter it's life span. 🍩 In a 2014 study published in the American Journal of Public Health diets high in sugar sweetened beverages significantly decreased the length of telomeres in circulating immune cells of people who regularly drank them. 🥤 For Naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine truth bombs click on link in bio and sign up for my email list. 🌱 Follow @dr_markiwanicki
In a 2014 British study the green house gas emissions from different diets were compared to see which had the greatest impact on global carbon pollution. 🌎 The diets of 2,041 vegans, 15,751 vegetarians, 8,123 fish-eaters and 29,589 meat-eaters aged 20–79 were assessed using known emission quantities from the growth and processing of different food commodities. 🌎 Diets high in meat and dairy were approximately twice as high in greenhouse gas emissions than those of vegans. 🌎 In addition to the production of greenhouse gasses meat and dairy production significantly contributed to deforestation around the world. 70% of all soy grown is used to feed beef production and up to 80% of all the deforestation going on in Brazil is due to cattle farming. 🌳 To reduce the impact our dietary choices have on the planet eating less meat and dairy is one of the best ways we can do so. 🌎 For Naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine truth bombs click on link in bio and sign up for my email list. 🌱 Follow @dr_markiwanicki
Reposting this one from a while ago. Working on some new content and posts but in the meantime here's this popular one from the past: 🥬 So you’re a vegan and you want to build a strong healthy body with collagen? Is it possible? I thought you could only get collagen from animals??? 🌱 Collagen peptides are large chains of amino acids that form the building blocks for collagen in our bodies. Collagen is critical for health skin, nails, hair, bones, muscles and ligaments 🌱 Commercially available collagen peptides are usually sourced from beef collagen that has been broken down and hydrolyzed. Our bodies absorb these peptides and put them back together as new collagen in our bodies. 🌱 Vegan sources of collagen don’t exist because plants don’t have bones or muscles but they do have amino acids, which are the universal building blocks of all protein, including collagen. 🌱 Vegans just need to be mindful they are getting the proper dietary building blocks from their diet but there’s nothing stopping them from doing that effectively and becoming giant beasts like vegan bodybuilder Nimai Delgado 🌱 For more naturopathic medicine truth bombs sign up for my weekly newsletter.

From the Pacific to the Atlantic we finally made it to NYC🗽Such an amazing adventure with @beastmodesebi and nephews! Have a ton more pictures to share but here are some highlights. 🌄 I think my favorite part was southern Utah. Really can't wait to get back to Moab and Zion. Also to check out Canyon lands and Bryce which we missed on this trip. 🏔 Has anyone ever done a cross country trip? What was your favorite part? 🏞
Yesterday was my last day at the Clear Center of Health @clearcenterofhealth. Bittersweet moment as I'm excited for my move back to NY but sad to leave these beautiful ladies behind. ❤️ We didn't get a chance to grab a group shot so I snagged some selfies. These gorgeous gals really made my experience at Clear so amazing and seamless. Smart, hardworking, talented and beautiful. Will miss you ladies 😘
Yesterday we spoke about Low FODMAP foods. Today we're talking about foods higher in FODMAPs. These foods can lead to increased symptoms of IBS for individuals with small intestinal dysbiosis. 💨 FODMAP stands for "Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols" and are fermentable sugars found in foods that can feed gut bacterial overgrowths that underly the symptoms of IBS. 💨 Foods are either classified as High FODMAP (contain large amounts of these fermentable sugars) or LOW FODMP (contain low amounts of these fermentable sugars). 💨 A low FODMAP diet can help lesson the symptoms of IBS and SIBO but is not a cure. You are basically starving the gut bacteria of food they need and are reducing the amount of gas, bloating, diarrhea and abdominal cramping they create as a by product of their fermentation. 💨 It's always important to get a proper diagnosis and treat the underlying cause. (Not all symptoms of gas and bloating are due to SIBO). The diet can help provide symptom relief in the short term but can be difficult to sustain in the long term for most people. 💨 For more Naturopathic and Chinese medicine health and wellness info up for my weekly newsletter.
