1. Lipids (Oil, Fat, Cholesterol)
- membrane quality
- combats inflammation
- stops leaky membranes
2. Nitrogen (protein, non-protein)
- repair
- energy
- immune
- cellular communications
Hidden Hunger
Nutrient deficiency is common today
- obesity
- low energy
- food cravings
- constant hunger
Organic foods can still be nutrient deficient
Millions of people suffer from a lack of
- omega-3 animal lipids - oily membranes
- freely available nitrogen - energy.
Symptoms
- autism
- dementia
- heart disease
- stroke
- cancer.
1. Lipids, when deficient
- Edema
- Swollen ankles
- Puffy eye bags
- Body fat distribution disorders
- Premature cardiovascular disease
- Hypo-cholesterol, low HDL, the good lipid
- Hyper-cholesterol, high LDL, the bad lipid
- Hyper-triglycerides, high vitamin E, vegetable oils, others
We are 65% water
- lipid membranes stop water from leaking
Water based fluids
- eye fluid
- lymph fluid
- gallbladder
- brain fluids
- blood plasma
- urinary bladder
2. Nitrogen, when deficient
Free nitrogen cannot be stored
- pale skin
- chronic fatigue
- muscle wasting
- loss of muscle tone
- skin wrinkles, eczema
- low grade connective tissue
- loss of height as we age
- slow wound healing
- growth retardation
- infertility
Sugar gives a short buzz of energy, like alcohol, no stamina energy.
Nitrogen is our number one source of energy and strength.
Nitrogen is the tool for:
- IQ
- Thinking clearly
- Decision making
- Immunity to diseases
- White blood cell energy
- Stamina for the long haul
We talk about getting enough protein but the non-protein amine is more important to energy and health.
Bound protein must be digested sufficiently to release free nitrogen for energy and immune systems.
Non-protein nitrogen or free-nitrogen cannot be stored in the body.
Levels deplete in hours to give us a loss of energy and feelings of hunger.
How do we get nitrogen?
From the food chain
- Air is 78% nitrogen, an inert gas that we cannot absorb directly
- Rain washes some air nitrogen into the rivers and soil
- Micro-organisms in soil bind nitrogen to carbon to become an organic molecule
- Farmers add nitrogen fertilizers: nitrates, nitrites
- Deli meats are high in nitrates and nitrites
- Plants also bind nitrogen to carbon
- Animals can absorb nitrogen after it is bound to carbon
- Ruminant animals digest grass and grains best
- Ruminant, a fermenting stomach animal
- Cows are the most efficient of all the ruminant animals at digesting grass and grains
- Humans have real trouble digesting grass and grains
Ruminant roo͞′mə-nənt
-
n.Any of various hoofed, even-toed, usually horned mammals of the suborder Ruminantia, such as cattle, sheep, deer, antelopes, and giraffes, characteristically having a stomach divided into four compartments and chewing a cud that consists of plant food that is regurgitated when partially digested.
-
n.Any of various animals that ruminate but are not in the Ruminantia, including camels, alpacas, and llamas.
-
adj.Characterized by the chewing of cud.
