Holistic Nutrition with Barbara Chater RHN

Scientific researchers found that yoga helps protect and increase the volume of gray matter in the brain, offering a protective effect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition it reduces stress and inflammation, improves mood and resilience, and enhances production of brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor, a protein the stimulates connections between neurons and kick-starts telomerase activity, a process that replaces lost or damaged genetic material.

To reduce pre-Alzheimer’s cognitive impairment, get to the yoga mat UCLA study finds yoga, meditation more effective than memory-boosting exercises.

Walking offers numerous benefits, including physical improvements like better heart health, weight management, stronger bones and muscles, and reduced risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It also provides significant mental and emotional advantages, such as stress reduction, mood improvement, enhanced creativity, better sleep, and improved memory. As a free, accessible, and low-impact activity, walking is an excellent way to improve overall health and longevity.

Other healthy cooking oils and fats include:

beef tallow (beef tallow is also good for skin)
chicken fat

What I eat on the petroleum diet⛽️ Disclaimer: This is a funny video - nothing more, nothing less. I did not eat any of these. All of these foods contain petroleum derivatives or had petroleum derivatives used in their processing. All of these foods are considered safe to consume in small amounts. Consuming these is NOT the equivalent of consuming petroleum. I made this video to shed light on the highly processed ingredients in some of our “foods,” as many people are consuming these and are unaware. I’m not suggesting anything “bad” will happen to you if you eat these- however, I do think that consuming these over time could lead to negative health consequences. When these are described as “safe,” please know that we do NOT have enough long-term studies (sometimes none) on all of their impacts on all of our different systems. Since these are not evolutionarily consistent, I do not see any benefit in consuming these “in moderation”- I just see them as major downside risks. Hope this video makes you laugh and/or learn more about the ingredients in our foods.
