Dr. Mindy Pels, a renowned nutrition and functional health expert, has been a pioneer in the fasting movement and is known for her extensive knowledge in alternative health practices. In this article, we highlight the top ten foods she recommends avoiding to promote a healthy, long life. Understanding the science behind these recommendations can help you make more informed choices about your diet and overall health.
Importance of Glucose and Insulin Regulation
One of the key aspects of promoting longevity is keeping your glucose and insulin levels low. For graceful, energetic aging, aim for a hemoglobin A1c level under five, ideally closer to 4.5. High levels of glucose and insulin accelerate aging, increase inflammation, and make you more vulnerable to viruses.
This simple biochemistry is crucial to understand if you wish to age healthily. Oxidative stress, a byproduct of high glucose and insulin levels, is particularly damaging, and there’s one major culprit that contributes more to oxidative stress than any other—fructose, which is essentially sugar.
Foods to Avoid for Longevity
Refined Flours and Sugars. Refined flours and sugars, also known as man-made carbs, cause weight gain and spike blood sugar levels. These foods differ significantly from nature’s carbs, which can help you maintain a healthy weight.
Man-made carbs increase the glycemic index and drive you towards insulin resistance. Whether gluten-free or not, highly processed flours and sugars lead to significant health issues by spiking your blood sugar and requiring you to fast longer to balance it out.
Wheat and Gluten-Containing Foods. Wheat, especially the type grown in the United States, contains a hybrid toxin called BT Toxin. This toxin kills insects that consume the wheat, and when humans ingest it, it disrupts gut health by killing beneficial microbes.
Additionally, wheat is often sprayed with glyphosate, a chemical that causes leaky gut syndrome and pushes heavy metals deeper into the brain, affecting mental clarity and hormone production. Gluten, a component of wheat, can stimulate appetite, causing people to consume an additional 400 calories daily compared to those who avoid gluten.
Diet Sodas and Artificial Sweeteners. Diet sodas, particularly those containing aspartame (NutraSweet), are detrimental to your health. Aspartame is classified as an obesogen, a chemical that blocks insulin receptor sites and leads to insulin resistance. It also stimulates the hunger hormone ghrelin, increasing appetite, and throws off the microbial balance in your gut, further disrupting blood sugar regulation.
Fruit Juices. Orange juice and other fruit juices are often perceived as healthy due to their vitamin C content. However, they are essentially cups of sugar that spike blood sugar levels and lead to insulin resistance. Juice cleanses, unless they are purely green juices, also disrupt your metabolic balance, keeping you in a sugar-burning state rather than a fat-burning one.
Certain Fish. While fish can be a healthy protein source, many varieties are contaminated with heavy metals and plastics due to polluted oceans. Larger fish like tuna are particularly high in mercury and should be avoided to maintain hormone balance and prevent heavy metal toxicity.
Conventional Fruits. Genetically modified fruits, like many apples and bananas available in supermarkets, have reduced levels of vitamins and minerals. These fruits are often dead foods that do not contribute to your health. Instead, opt for fruits from regenerative farms that focus on nutrient-rich, soil-based farming practices.
Instant Oatmeal. Instant oatmeal, despite its convenience, lacks fiber and often contains added sugars. These products spike blood sugar levels and contribute to metabolic health issues. Whole, unprocessed oats are a better alternative.
Conventional Potatoes. Regular potatoes grown on conventional farms are high in starch and offer little nutritional value. They spike blood sugar levels much like other refined carbohydrates. However, sweet potatoes and potatoes from regenerative farms that contain resistant starches can be beneficial.
Iceberg Lettuce. Iceberg lettuce, commonly used in salads, has little to no nutritional value. It is often grown using conventional farming practices that strip away beneficial microbes and nutrients. Opt for mixed greens, exotic lettuces, and other nutrient-dense salad components from regenerative farms instead.
Monoculture Vegetables. Consuming the same types of vegetables repeatedly, such as carrots and celery, can deplete your health rather than enhance it. These vegetables contribute to a monoculture in your gut microbiome, reducing microbial diversity and weakening your overall health. Rotate your vegetable intake by incorporating a variety of colors and types to maintain microbial diversity.
The Impact of Bad Oils. Bad oils, including canola, vegetable, cottonseed, corn, partially hydrogenated, sunflower, safflower, and soybean oils, are harmful fats that cause cellular inflammation and insulin resistance. Replacing these with healthier oils like MCT oil, ghee, olive oil, and avocado oil can significantly improve your health and reduce inflammation.
Undoing the Damage. If you have consumed these harmful foods and want to reverse the damage, intermittent fasting is an excellent starting point. Fasting helps lower oxidative stress and can reset your metabolic health. Pair fasting with regular exercise, especially high-intensity workouts, to further reduce oxidative stress and promote overall well-being.
Conclusion. A healthy diet is essential for a long, vibrant life. By avoiding the ten foods highlighted by Dr. Mindy Pels and incorporating nutritious, whole foods into your diet, you can optimize your health, reduce inflammation, and promote longevity. Remember, your food choices play a significant role in your overall well-being, so choose wisely and embrace a lifestyle that fosters enduring health.
