00:00 - 00:07
warning this video may cause you to
00:04 - 00:09
never want to eat sugar ever again so
00:07 - 00:12
you might want to pause this video and
00:09 - 00:14
get your last dose before I reveal some
00:12 - 00:17
very interesting information and of
00:14 - 00:19
course the more aware you are of what
00:17 - 00:22
sugar does the less you're going to
00:19 - 00:25
consume it I watch people all the time
00:22 - 00:27
around me just consuming massive amounts
00:25 - 00:29
of sugar and I'm like oh my gosh how
00:27 - 00:31
could you possibly do that well it has
00:29 - 00:33
to do with awareness they just don't
00:31 - 00:35
know the effects now we probably all
00:33 - 00:38
know the effects with weight gain and
00:35 - 00:41
dental decay and fatty liver and high
00:38 - 00:44
cholesterol and acne and high blood
00:41 - 00:45
pressure increase candida infections and
00:44 - 00:47
lowered immune system
00:45 - 00:49
etc etc but there's some other things
00:47 - 00:52
that I'm going to share with you deep
00:49 - 00:55
inside your body that you need to know
00:52 - 00:58
about and it all relates to
00:55 - 01:00
most diseases are metabolic diseases
00:58 - 01:04
what does that mean metabolic diseases
01:00 - 01:05
it has to do with your metabolism and
01:04 - 01:07
when we're talking about metabolism
01:05 - 01:09
we're specifically talking about this
01:09 - 01:13
structure in our cells called the
01:11 - 01:16
mitochondria
01:13 - 01:20
mitochondrial dysfunction is responsible
01:16 - 01:24
for the majority of non-infectious
01:20 - 01:26
diseases dysfunctional mitochondria are
01:24 - 01:29
what's behind
01:26 - 01:32
cardiovascular disease cancer in fact
01:29 - 01:34
the cancer you have normal cells that
01:32 - 01:38
turn into cancer cells because of
01:34 - 01:40
damaged mitochondria it's impossible to
01:38 - 01:43
get cancer unless you have damage to the
01:40 - 01:46
mitochondria Alzheimer's which is Type 3
01:43 - 01:48
diabetes kidney liver disease
01:46 - 01:51
all of these General metabolic diseases
01:48 - 01:53
if you look closely at what's happening
01:51 - 01:56
as a Common Thread deep inside the cell
01:53 - 01:58
we have dysfunctional mitochondria there
01:56 - 02:02
are a lot of things that destroy the
01:58 - 02:05
mitochondria but at the top of the list
02:02 - 02:08
is sugar and foods that turn into sugar
02:05 - 02:12
very quickly like refined carbohydrates
02:08 - 02:13
like starches breads pasta cereal
02:12 - 02:15
crackers biscuits waffles pancakes
02:13 - 02:19
muffins things like that and when we
02:15 - 02:22
talk about sugar the majority sugar in
02:19 - 02:25
the U.S is beet sugar and the majority
02:22 - 02:28
of beets grown in the U.S are GMO so we
02:25 - 02:29
not only have this refined sugar we have
02:29 - 02:34
GMO type sugar which has traces of
02:32 - 02:36
glyphosate which is an herbicide which
02:34 - 02:38
I'm not going to even go there but I
02:36 - 02:41
just want to make you aware of that
02:38 - 02:44
also the amount of fructose that we
02:41 - 02:46
consume from drinks sodas high fructose
02:44 - 02:49
corn syrup is a lot different than
02:46 - 02:51
glucose okay so we have fructose which
02:49 - 02:53
is only metabolized by your liver all
02:51 - 02:55
the other cells in the body can't
02:53 - 02:57
metabolize this this fructose so when
02:55 - 02:59
you're consuming large amounts of
02:57 - 03:01
fructose you are overwhelming the liver
02:59 - 03:03
and overwhelming the mitochondria deep
03:01 - 03:06
inside by the liver and so if we compare
03:03 - 03:08
fructose to glucose glucose is actually
03:06 - 03:10
much better than fructose but you have
03:08 - 03:13
to realize even table sugar is half
03:10 - 03:16
glucose and half fructose honey the same
03:13 - 03:19
thing and when we consume this refined
03:16 - 03:21
sugar it's very very unnatural because
03:19 - 03:25
we don't have the normal antioxidants
03:21 - 03:27
that come from like the natural sugar
03:25 - 03:30
that with sugar cane or even that come
03:27 - 03:32
with fruit when you consume fruits which
03:30 - 03:34
is high in fructose so how does that
03:32 - 03:36
relate to the mitochondria
03:34 - 03:40
well this is what happens when you
03:36 - 03:41
consume a lot of sugar glucose or things
03:40 - 03:45
that turn into sugar what happens to the
03:41 - 03:46
mitochondria is becomes damaged okay now
03:45 - 03:51
the purpose of the mitochondria is to
03:46 - 03:52
turn fuel into energy with the help of
03:52 - 03:59
and so now with a dysfunctional
03:54 - 04:03
mitochondria we now create a hypoxic low
03:59 - 04:05
level oxygen State and from that starts
04:03 - 04:08
to be created other oxygen molecules
04:05 - 04:10
that are very reactive to our bodies
04:08 - 04:11
without getting too technical the
04:10 - 04:12
category of these things are called Ross
04:11 - 04:15
and I don't want to get into
04:12 - 04:18
complexities but just realize that when
04:15 - 04:22
you have a mitochondria that is not able
04:18 - 04:25
to use the oxygen you start developing a
04:22 - 04:28
lot of oxidative free radicals and a lot
04:25 - 04:29
of things that create more damage and
04:28 - 04:32
they're crated because we don't have
04:29 - 04:35
that oxygen so their derivatives of
04:32 - 04:38
oxygen that are highly reactive and
04:35 - 04:41
damaging to your cells and so it's those
04:38 - 04:45
oxidating factors that create the
04:41 - 04:48
complications of glucose they create the
04:45 - 04:51
damage from diabetes for example they
04:48 - 04:53
create mutations inside the DNA of the
04:51 - 04:55
mitochondria mitochondria very
04:53 - 04:58
interesting they have their own DNA and
04:55 - 05:01
real quick the history of mitochondria
04:58 - 05:06
is their bacterial derived a long time
05:01 - 05:09
ago a bacteria morphed with cells to
05:06 - 05:11
form this symbiotic relationship that
05:09 - 05:13
apparently over a long period of time
05:11 - 05:15
ended up in our bodies so the
05:13 - 05:18
mitochondria the energy factories in our
05:15 - 05:20
cells actually originated from bacteria
05:18 - 05:23
and apparently we formed an agreement
05:20 - 05:26
with them that they specialize in
05:23 - 05:28
producing energy and we'll feed them
05:26 - 05:30
okay we'll eat and feed them and we'll
05:28 - 05:33
give them a home but they give this this
05:30 - 05:34
Focus Machinery to produce energy and
05:33 - 05:36
they also have their own DNA but when we
05:34 - 05:38
consume too much sugar we get damage of
05:36 - 05:42
the mitochondria we get hypoxia lack of
05:38 - 05:44
oxygen we get uh mutation within the DNA
05:42 - 05:49
of the mitochondria we get decreased
05:44 - 05:51
numbers of mitochondria we get a lack of
05:49 - 05:54
fuel produced by the mitochondria
05:51 - 05:56
starving off your cell cells as in
05:54 - 05:58
Alzheimer's for example if the
05:56 - 06:00
mitochondria can't work we can't produce
05:58 - 06:02
fuel for the cells and what happens in
06:00 - 06:05
cancer is the cell as a survival
06:02 - 06:07
mechanism gets its fuel outside the
06:05 - 06:10
mitochondria
06:07 - 06:13
in other places a different pathway it's
06:10 - 06:16
very rudimentary it's very uh crude and
06:13 - 06:19
there's not much energy generated from
06:16 - 06:22
that and so the cancer cells have to
06:19 - 06:24
compensate by hogging up as much fuel as
06:22 - 06:26
they can and sugar is one of the fuels
06:24 - 06:29
that they go after hardcore but there's
06:26 - 06:32
a tremendous amount of oxidative stress
06:29 - 06:34
they call it that's produced from these
06:32 - 06:36
damaged mitochondria and the oxidative
06:34 - 06:39
stress is kind of like this high level
06:36 - 06:41
of oxidation with the same time a low
06:39 - 06:43
level of antioxidants and this is why
06:41 - 06:45
when you consume a lot of refined
06:43 - 06:47
carbohydrates you're getting in this
06:45 - 06:49
refinement process a lot of sugar but
06:47 - 06:52
without all the protective mechanisms
06:49 - 06:54
that normally come in nature like
06:52 - 06:58
antioxidants that can normally counter
06:54 - 07:02
all this oxidation and so that equals
06:58 - 07:04
inflammation cell damage and especially
07:02 - 07:05
damage to the mitochondria itself
07:04 - 07:06
there's something else that's really
07:05 - 07:08
interesting that happens when you
07:06 - 07:11
consume sugar you get a decrease in
07:08 - 07:13
what's called mitophy now what is
07:11 - 07:15
mitophagy well there's a condition
07:13 - 07:18
called autophagy which is the recycling
07:15 - 07:20
of old damaged cells and that's a good
07:18 - 07:23
thing because you your body goes into
07:20 - 07:26
the state where it can clean up damaged
07:23 - 07:28
mitochondria and replace them with new
07:26 - 07:30
mitochondria and then that that's a
07:28 - 07:31
really good thing to prevent cancer and
07:30 - 07:34
avoid all the complications that happen
07:31 - 07:37
with damaged mitochondria
07:34 - 07:40
but sugar inhibits that ability for your
07:37 - 07:43
body to recycle mitochondria and maybe
07:40 - 07:47
you've heard of the tests from diabetes
07:43 - 07:50
it's called A1C right that measures the
07:47 - 07:52
amount of damaged protein in your blood
07:50 - 07:54
that's heat damage hemoglobin
07:52 - 07:56
because when you combine all that high
07:54 - 07:58
level of sugar with the protein you
07:56 - 08:01
damage it that's called glycation so
07:58 - 08:03
that glycated protein that damaged
08:01 - 08:05
protein can't be cleaned up as
08:03 - 08:08
effectively with the sugar in your
08:05 - 08:11
bloodstream so that leads to a whole
08:08 - 08:14
bunch of problems and then now we have a
08:11 - 08:17
hypoxic state in the mitochondria which
08:14 - 08:20
increases the risk for getting cancer it
08:17 - 08:22
now has to generate a lot of lactic acid
08:20 - 08:27
that can build up in your cells you get
08:22 - 08:30
a severe deficiency of thymine B1
08:27 - 08:33
now B1 is probably one of the most
08:30 - 08:36
important nutrients in the mitochondria
08:33 - 08:40
to allow everything to work correctly
08:36 - 08:42
the more sugar you consume the more B1
08:40 - 08:44
or thymine that you need and so when you
08:42 - 08:48
consume a lot of sugar you deplete your
08:44 - 08:49
B1 reserves and what comes next is is
08:48 - 08:51
devastating especially in the case of a
08:49 - 08:55
diabetic their complication is
08:51 - 08:58
peripheral neuropathy mainly due to this
08:55 - 09:01
B1 deficiency that creates a lot of
08:58 - 09:03
nerve damage and so this is why one of
09:01 - 09:04
the great remedies for peripheral
09:03 - 09:07
neuropathy which
09:04 - 09:10
is the bottom of your feet becoming numb
09:07 - 09:14
or tingling or burning or your hands is
09:10 - 09:15
taking B1 B1 will pretty easily resolve
09:14 - 09:18
that that condition or at least that
09:15 - 09:20
complication from the high levels of
09:18 - 09:21
sugar but also with a B1 deficiency
09:20 - 09:24
there's a lot of other problems that
09:21 - 09:26
occur too an anxiety state a lot of
09:24 - 09:29
nervous tension a lot of excessive
09:26 - 09:31
thinking insomnia nerve damage in other
09:29 - 09:34
parts of the body and also damage in
09:31 - 09:36
certain parts of the brain that have to
09:34 - 09:37
do with memory and then another thing
09:36 - 09:39
that gets depleted in the mitochondria
09:37 - 09:43
from eating a lot of refined sugar is
09:39 - 09:45
zinc and zinc is also needed to make
09:43 - 09:47
sure your mitochondria are are
09:45 - 09:50
bulletproofed or protected and without
09:47 - 09:52
zinc you get dysfunctional mitochondria
09:50 - 09:54
so you just might want to think about
09:52 - 09:57
the next time you eat that Krispy Kreme
09:54 - 10:00
donut or that candy bar you have to just
09:57 - 10:03
be aware of what the sugar does to the
10:00 - 10:05
deeper mitochondria in the cells that
10:03 - 10:07
sets your body up for a Cascade of
10:05 - 10:08
issues down the road so the question now
10:07 - 10:11
is what can we do to improve the
10:08 - 10:14
mitochondria well the number one thing
10:11 - 10:16
you should do is go on a low carb diet
10:14 - 10:18
it's called a ketogenic diet cut out
10:16 - 10:20
sugar cut out these refined carbs you're
10:18 - 10:22
going to feel better immediately and
10:20 - 10:24
you'll probably find that you won't be
10:22 - 10:27
depleting your B1 anymore or your zinc
10:24 - 10:29
anymore and also there's other nutrients
10:27 - 10:32
that you won't be depleting anymore too
10:29 - 10:34
the next thing is exercise especially
10:32 - 10:36
High intense interval training but other
10:34 - 10:39
types of exercise will also be
10:36 - 10:42
beneficial to boost your mitochondria
10:39 - 10:45
and this brings up another point about
10:42 - 10:47
athletes that are doing all sorts of
10:45 - 10:50
like long-distance marathons or
10:47 - 10:53
triathlons they typically consume a lot
10:50 - 10:54
of carbohydrates and a lot of sugar and
10:53 - 10:56
you might be saying well how come
10:54 - 10:57
they're able to do this with all that
10:57 - 11:04
exercise can overcompensate and exercise
11:02 - 11:07
alone stimulates the mitochondria
11:04 - 11:09
exercise protects the mitochondria now
11:07 - 11:10
of course I don't recommend that as you
11:09 - 11:13
know something that you can do to
11:10 - 11:15
continue to eat sugar because I know a
11:13 - 11:17
lot of athletes that when they consume
11:15 - 11:18
the sugar they have a lot of side
11:17 - 11:20
effects they have a lot of problems and
11:18 - 11:22
complications but the point is that
11:20 - 11:26
because exercise strengthens the
11:22 - 11:28
mitochondria it tends to nullify some of
11:26 - 11:31
the complications from the high level of
11:28 - 11:33
sugar now you might also be thinking
11:31 - 11:35
well what about the people
11:33 - 11:39
a hundred years ago they were a lot
11:35 - 11:41
healthier than we are now and yes they
11:39 - 11:43
were healthier but they weren't a lot
11:41 - 11:46
healthier but I will say in the last
11:43 - 11:48
probably 40 50 years the amount of sugar
11:46 - 11:51
has increased the amount of fructose has
11:48 - 11:53
increased the amount of snacking has
11:51 - 11:55
increased the amount of added sugar has
11:53 - 11:57
increased and all that has been
11:55 - 11:59
devastating but think about even like
11:57 - 12:01
several thousand years ago where people
11:59 - 12:05
eating healthier back then not
12:01 - 12:07
necessarily they've extracted these
12:05 - 12:11
mummies and they've looked at the teeth
12:07 - 12:14
and the arteries and the bones of
12:11 - 12:16
certain mummified bodies and they had
12:14 - 12:18
periodontal disease they had cavities
12:16 - 12:20
they had problems with their teeth
12:18 - 12:22
problems with arthritis and they
12:20 - 12:25
consumed a lot of flower products breads
12:22 - 12:27
so this is not necessarily just a new
12:25 - 12:29
thing that's been going on for a long
12:27 - 12:31
time now another thing that can help
12:29 - 12:34
improve your mitochondria if we were to
12:31 - 12:37
look at like cold water immersion or
12:34 - 12:40
cold therapy it's the cold therapy okay
12:37 - 12:43
they're very uncomfortable taking the
12:40 - 12:46
cold shower or the cold bath immersion
12:43 - 12:50
that can stimulate your mitochondria way
12:46 - 12:52
more than heat therapy or saunas can
12:50 - 12:54
simply because of how uncomfortable it
12:52 - 12:57
is and also how our bodies were
12:54 - 12:59
developed to survive during winter time
12:57 - 13:01
and actually increase more mitochondria
12:59 - 13:04
when we get cold nowadays everything's
13:01 - 13:08
become very very passive and comfortable
13:04 - 13:10
okay we get to eat to 24 7 we get to
13:08 - 13:12
stay in a really nice environment inside
13:10 - 13:14
our homes not out in the sun and by the
13:12 - 13:16
way being exposed to the sun does
13:14 - 13:19
increase your mitochondria and not
13:16 - 13:21
eating so frequently as in fasting
13:19 - 13:25
greatly stimulates your mitochondria
13:21 - 13:27
certain epigenetic shorter stressful
13:25 - 13:29
things can improve our mitochondria like
13:27 - 13:31
going into a higher altitude or training
13:29 - 13:33
in a higher altitude can stimulate your
13:31 - 13:35
mitochondria to adapt and become
13:33 - 13:38
stronger so a certain amount of stress
13:35 - 13:40
is good chronic stress can definitely
13:38 - 13:43
affect our monochondria in a negative
13:40 - 13:46
way insomnia lowers the mitochondria in
13:43 - 13:49
our body a good night rest can enhance
13:46 - 13:50
our mitochondria because we recover and
13:49 - 13:53
of course alcohol inhibits the
13:50 - 13:54
mitochondria but on the flip side you
13:53 - 13:55
can eat certain things that will
13:54 - 13:57
increase mitochondria like vital
13:55 - 14:00
nutrients there's a lot of different
13:57 - 14:03
plant-based chemicals Resveratrol
14:00 - 14:05
quercetin the phytonutrients in green
14:03 - 14:08
tea and garlic can all boost your
14:05 - 14:11
mitochondria not to mention the
14:08 - 14:13
dependency on just basic nutrients that
14:11 - 14:15
support the mitochondria there's this
14:13 - 14:16
thing in the mitochondria called the
14:15 - 14:19
Krebs cycle that maybe you've learned
14:16 - 14:21
about and I'll guarantee rarely anyone
14:19 - 14:23
understood it back then you'd have to
14:21 - 14:25
really play around with it to really the
14:23 - 14:27
grasp or wrap your wits around it
14:25 - 14:30
because it's a very complex
14:27 - 14:34
Machinery but the Simplicity is your
14:30 - 14:36
body's turning food into energy using
14:34 - 14:38
oxygen and to do that process you have
14:36 - 14:43
to go through a bunch of steps and your
14:38 - 14:46
body requires B1 B2 B3 B5 and coenzyme
14:43 - 14:48
Q10 and other nutrients but those are
14:46 - 14:50
some of the basic nutrients that support
14:48 - 14:53
the mitochondria so if you made it this
14:50 - 14:56
far you now have more Awareness on what
14:53 - 14:58
sugar does to probably one of the most
14:56 - 15:00
important parts of your cell called the
14:58 - 15:03
mitochondria and getting off sugar is
15:00 - 15:04
going to be extremely therapeutic to
15:03 - 15:06
your overall health because it's
15:04 - 15:10
something that you can do to actually
15:06 - 15:12
create Health to help bolster the
15:10 - 15:14
mitochondria versus in our Health Care
15:12 - 15:15
system which I'm still trying to find
15:14 - 15:18
the health in it because we don't really
15:15 - 15:21
create Health it's all about taking all
15:18 - 15:24
of these diseases that are really
15:21 - 15:28
metabolic in origin and treating them
15:24 - 15:29
with drugs which inhibit the function of
15:28 - 15:31
your mitochondria now since we're on the
15:29 - 15:33
topic of sugar I've created a lot of
15:31 - 15:34
videos in sugar but if you haven't seen
15:33 - 15:38
this one I think you're going to find it
15:34 - 15:38
very interesting I put it up right here
