Part 8/10:
Focus on Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Lustig points out the significance of omega-3s found in sources such as wild salmon and fish oil, crucial for mitochondrial health.
Understand the Role of Fiber: Fiber is essential for digestive health and helps regulate insulin response. Lustig emphasizes the importance of fiber-rich foods, arguing against juicing fruits as juice lacks fiber, leading to blood sugar spikes.
Avoid Sugar and Fructose: Sugars and high-fructose corn syrup are major contributors to insulin resistance. Awareness of hidden sugars in processed foods can lessen consumption effectively.
Limit High-Carb Foods: Lustig suggests monitoring carb intake, warning that once levels surpass 200 grams, it can lead to fat accumulation in the liver.
