Cruciferous Power and Gut Immunity

0:00So we're just defining that a little further, tweaking it, that little health hack to really focus when you're eating the salad. How will you chewing that salad? You're going to try to resist swallowing and masticate it enough so you can conform it into a liquid. I'm going to add those sprouts on my salad, right? You guys know that maybe you've heard that broccoli sprouts, radish sprouts, how foulful these sprouts could have 40 to 50 times as much of the ITCs in the broccoli sprouts, compared to a piece of broccoli. But are you going to waste those beneficial anti-cancer compounds that you know when they're rising your system, they've got more anti-cancer effects? You're going to waste them by hardly chewing it or you're going to get the maximum benefit of what you put in your mouth by fully liquefying it before you allow it to be swallowed. So I'm making that point and I'm pointing out in this slide that over 300 studies show that raw vegetables have the most consistent and powerful association, the reduction of cancers of all types. Can you memorize that? Those were as I tell people. Can you memorize that? It's not hard to memorize. Here's

1:04what you memorize. Raw vegetables have the most consistent and powerful association with the reduction of cancers of all types. You can memorize that, right? It's not too hard to say. Raw vegetables have the most consistent and powerful association, the reduction of cancers of all types. So and chew them real well and don't waste the fact that you're looking to live a long time. There's no anti-aging or longevity promoting substance that's more powerful than eating a big salad every day that you chew very well. So the ITCs which we're talking about here from cruciferous vegetables have been shown in studies to have market effects and enabling the cells to remove carcinogenic material and toxins. So our best protection against chemical exposure in our environment and is to eat a lot of cruciferous vegetables, right? They prevent carcinogens from biting the DNA. They detoxify carcinogens and they enable the body to remove dangerous and toxic substances from the body. They also of course are angiogenesis inhibitors,

2:11which that means that the word angiogenesis means the growth of blood vessels to fuel the growth of fat and when we have high levels of insulin in response to eating a lot of sugar in our diet or being overweight because when you're overweight you're more insulin resistant and when you eat a high glycemic food when you're overweight you produce more a higher insulin response because you need more insulin to get the sugar out of the blood when you're overweight. And the high level of insulin which is the primary fat storage hormone promotes the growth of blood vessels to fuel the fat to allow it to grow and in doing so it permissively allows cancer cells to replicate. So one of the ingredients in the witch's cauldron of cancer causation is you want to have a lot of insulin circulating and a lot of insulin resistance if you want to create cancer in the person's body. You know who wants to create cancer? We want to have insulin sensitivity, not insulin resistance. But the point here is that these ITCs from green vegetables are anti-angiogenic.

3:16They don't let tumor cells replicate. They don't let fat cells grow and they actually improve immune function to recognize cancer cells or abnormal cells and to then to activate the natural killer T cells to destroy an abnormal cell even before it can become cancerous. And of course, they help remove excess estrogen in the body. In other words, there's a huge amount of studies showing how ITCs work to prevent cancer. And we know that the viability and robust immune function is it circulates in the body. These cells circulate all over our body and they but they're they harbor and live in the intraepathelial lymphocytes that line that they just attract. So you could say that the defenders at the gates of the castle when things first come into our body, bacteria, viruses, poison, smoke, you know, whatever, eat things we're eating that we shouldn't be

4:18that are not good for us. There's some contaminants in it. We have a defense system that looks at everything that comes into the body. And these are this and this is the immune system that surrounds that lives right behind the villa in this small distance. And what I'm saying is that these intraepathelial lymphocytes develop and are fed by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor that's activated by the ITCs in cruciferous vegetables and by bacteria in the gut that are fed by other green vegetable compounds such as found in lettuce that the combination of lettuce, raw greens, with raw cruciferous is how we maximize the immune function of our gut and retain the viability and protective function of the gut. Matter of fact, we're talking here about preventing information in the gut, protecting the integrity of the gut and having diverse and healthy microbiome and those foods that activate the healthiest type of bacteria

5:21are these two raw two raw foods. The raw green vegetables I'm talking about here, right? The mix of these combination of raw vegetables and raw onion are scallion. Onion are scallion tremendously powerful, you know, to the beneficial gut bacteria. And then two cooked foods that have benefited tremendous beneficial effects on building a healthy biofilm in the gut. We're talking about cooked mushrooms and cooked beans or goons. Very powerful effects at protecting the microbiome. And I'm saying this robust and healthy microbiome that creates this healthy biofilm of the villa in the small distance with the healthy immune system behind that barrier, right? That utilizes certain nutrients and prevents toxins from entering the digestive tract rate of bloodstream and it also slows the absorption of glucose in the bloodstream from anything you eat. So you have a mango, how do you turn that moderate glycemic mango into a lower glycemic

6:23food or a low glycemic food, while you have a robust microbiome because you're eating mushrooms and onions and leafy green vegetables and, you know, and beans and that healthy microbiome slows the absorption of glucose making lowering the, what's the glycemic load of that meal, right? And lowering insulin resistance making you more insulin sensitive. So the G-bombs make you more insulin sensitive because they all, and they all have anti-angiogenic effects they're all anti-fat storage effects because they don't let fat grow and they don't promote insulin, they reduce the production of insulin which is the fat storage hormone we're keeping that as low as possible in the most favored range. So all these things work together.
