If your food contains the bad stuff, you can have poor biological performance which shows up as a weak immune system or dysfunctional metabolism. Are you stuck at home wanting to increase your immunity, but eating foods that make you weak? ⁠ Take gluten, for example. Chances are you’ve already heard about the damaging effects of gluten, along with strident, shrill misinformation about how only people with celiac disease should avoid it. The sad truth is this: there is plenty of research to show that eating wheat - not just gluten (the protein found in wheat) - is an aging agent for the rest of us, too. Wheat causes inflammation and gastrointestinal distress and contributes to autoimmune disease and a host of other issues by stimulating an over-release of zonulin. Zonulin is a protein that controls the permeability of the tight junctions between the cells lining your gut. That’s what happens biologically—regardless of whether or not you tell yourself that you tolerate wheat just fine.⁠ You can also tolerate a slap in the face, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you. ⁠ When you have an excess of zonulin, the gaps between your intestinal cells open, allowing bacteria, undigested food, and bacterial toxins into your bloodstream. These toxins, called lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), lead to inflammation throughout your body. They make you older faster. And as you get older, the accumulation of LPSs impacts your health more and more. Again, they do this no matter what you think about gluten.⁠ ⁠ Gluten also reduces blood flow to the brain, interferes with thyroid function, and depletes your vitamin D stores. Vitamin D deficiency can cause proteins to lose their shape and clump together, forming harmful and aging plaque deposits. ⁠ I’m sorry. I like croissants also. It’s just not worth it. Especially when there are lots of replacements that are good for you or at least not bad for you! ⁠ Head over to the link in my bio where you can get more than 3,000 articles with useful information like this, as my gift. Just use it and share it! That's all I ask.」1月6日 11時01分
