In this video you'll discover some of the worst foods that lead to brain inflammation.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt some of the things that you're doing on a daily basis are causing
an inflammatory response in your brain. Now you may think that somebody who has a problem
with brain inflammation is somebody who's got some serious problems but the truth is
more people have this issue than you think and it may even be you. So stick around to
the end of this video where we talk about some of the symptoms of brain inflammation.

Let's go ahead and talk about some of the symptoms of brain inflammation. Before we
jump into some of the foods because you have to be able to identify if you have this issue.
And like I said if you think of somebody who has an inflammatory problem in the brain is
somebody who's got some serious conditions that's not the case. Most people have an inflammatory
condition within the brain that's just causing minor symptoms that is really disrupting your
life. Some of these symptoms are going to be poor focus, right? And you're going to
see a lot of these different symptoms like, oh yeah, you know this is something I struggle
with. Poor focus, poor mental speeds as in like you know maybe you're reading and your
brain just doesn't keep up with the the things that you're doing. It could be whether you're
reading or trying to complete a task your brain just can't move along quick enough for
you. Unclear thoughts, brain fog, alright. This is a prime example of somebody who has
a lot of this going on like if you put an image to it. It's that person who's like in
their head mentally they just can't see a clear picture as to what's happening in life.
It's like this fog that has just come over them. So brain fog, poor memory is a good
one. Intolerance; now intolerance can be in tolerance to the foods. It can be intolerance
to people around you. You just have a really poor mood all the time. I mean intolerance
is just intolerance to everything and the reason that food can be a particular issue
when you we talk about intolerance is because the gut health plays a huge role in how your
brain is actually functioning. Weight gain is another issue and basically what happens
is through this inflammatory problem your brain can't hear certain signals from hormones
like leptin. That is a satiety hormone that's telling you to stop eating. Imagine if your
brain can't hear that you just keep eating and eating and you don't have the proper signals.
Fatigue is a big one and then mood disorders. Okay so mood disorders are a big problem today.
We think of people who have depression. People who have anxiety. This is all a result of
a brain problem and that brain inflammation that is causing just chaos within your brain.
So let's dive into the foods that are causing this. Fructose is a big one, okay. when we
think of fructose one of the major things that comes to mind it's gonna be high fructose
corn syrup. Okay this high fructose corn syrup is in everything. Sodas, energy drink, sports
drinks is a major one too. Recently I went on vacation and I spent a little bit too long
in the sauna and sweat out quite a bit but the problem that I needed some electrolytes.
So I was going to the stores I was going to grab one of these sports drinks. Let me tell
you it took me about 20 to 25 minutes to find a sports drink that was not loaded with high
fructose corn syrup. I was actually blown away by this. What I ended up leaving with
was a coconut water; lots of potassium in there and of course it's a pretty decent sports
drink. Next is going to be fruit juice, okay? Fruit juice is one of those things you may
think of as being healthier but the truth is is there's an enormous amount of fructose.
Yes, fructose is in fruit it's a healthier version of it but drinking an enormous glass
of it is not a good idea. Now all studies basically point to this. Is that when you
consume more fructose you have an increase in weight and also it is going to also be
correlated with memory impairment. That's what pretty much every study that I came across
when I was doing this video was showing me. Now the other thing that I was seeing here
is that when you had a diet that was high in sugar it was correlated with an inflammatory
problem within the brain and also memory impairment. How many people out there just joke about
their memory not being good right? It actually scares me because I have you know, just people
I know friends, family and they go “oh my memory is not what it used to be” and it's
like no that's not good because that's the sign of your brain not functioning well. It's
not like a cute thing of I'm getting older or a cute thing of you know this just happens
every once in a while. I'm like oh my gosh this is alarming you know they're getting
brain inflammation, brain degeneration. Now the other thing that was interesting about
some of the studies I found is that high-fructose corn syrup was found to be worse in causing
brain impairment in inflammation in the brain than just your regular sugar. Let's say like
a refined white sugar or maybe even a you know, coconut sugar. So any of these other
sugars out there were nowhere near as bad in causing brain impairment as the high fructose
corn syrup was. When we think of high fructose corn syrup think of a lot of these different
drinks out there and it's not a good thing. We've got to make sure that we cut this out
and when you start looking in all the different packaged foods and everything out there you
would be surprised at how many of them have this so watch out for that. Hydrogenated oils
also known as trans fats. This is another major problem for so many people because they're
eating these things on a daily basis. Now when we think of the brain and the nervous
system it is comprised of 65% plus fat, okay. So essentially what that means is that if
you're putting a really unhealthy bad fat into the system then you're basically taking
a healthy, you know; your your nervous system which is this you know basically a glob of
big healthy fat and you're just shoving all that terrible fat that is not good in there.
You're making a nervous system made of trash, okay? So we have to be careful with this this.
This hydrogenated oil we need to make sure that we're avoiding. You're typically finding
it in pretty much all packaged foods. The reason that you're gonna find it in a lot
of packaged foods is because one it is cheap. Two it helps stabilize the food and increase
the shelf life. Fried foods, okay. So if you're going to restaurants getting fried foods at
you know your favorite fast-food place definitely something you want to avoid. Margarine is
a big one and then omega-6 oils are also a problem because when you go and you create
omega-6 dominance in the brain and the nervous system it doesn't function as well. Think
of soybean oils a very common one today; where the use of soybean oil has skyrocketed and
all these omega sixes are not healthy. That's why so many people can go take a high dose
of omega 3 and feel really good. Now if you had too much omega-3 in this system and too
little omega-6 that wouldn't be good either but fortunately with today's diet many people
have a very high level of omega-6 and because they have that dominance level it also is
causing a lot of brain dysfunction. Now what was found in the research is that diets high
in trans fats was equated to poor memory, Alzheimer's, cognitive decline, and slow cognitive
endurance. So I can't stress enough trans fats these hydrogenated oils. We got to cut
them out. We need to make sure that we're sticking a good healthy fats. Think coconut
oil, think avocado oil, think olive oil. These are all good great fats and there's no reason
that we need to be eating foods with this stuff in it because it's going to drive brain
inflammation. It's going to drive cognitive impairment and of course it can even lead
to problems down the road like dementi;. like we're seeing in the research. Next is going
to be fish, okay. So you're thinking to yourself why is fish a big problem for brain inflammation.
Well here's the major concern when it comes to fish and that's mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin
it's a neurological poison and it's one of the most devastating poisons to the nervous
system. Here's why it's because when you eat fish that has a bunch of mercury in it essentially
that all gets stored in the fat tissue. Well guess where the fat tissue is that's your
brain. That's your nervous system. s\So it likes to go there. Now when they looked at
it's different fish out there what they found is that fish was capable of carrying 1 million
times the mercury load as the surrounding water that it was in. So it was pretty incredible
that these fish were just taking in all this mercury it's storing into their their tissue
and then of course you're eating it and that is not healthy. So we have to be really careful
with this because the mercury has been proven in the science to damaged brain tissue and
also create neurotransmitter imbalance. When you think of people who have neurotransmitter
imbalance these are the hormones in the brain. They're the hormones that tell you to feel
happy, to feel calm. Imagine if these hormones are going crazy. You could be depressed. You
can just not feel well. You have kind of have a hard time sleeping. It can create complete
chaos. Now one of the things I want to tell you about as well without going too far off
the topic is that people who have mercury fillings; this is a major major problem. As
that mercury leeches into the brain and the nervous system causing severe brain problems.
Now people that I've worked with in the past until you can get that mercury from the nervous
system, get that mercury from the brain; they just don't feel well. They can't really get
their life back until that's cleared out. What I'll do is I'll put in a link in the
description below a link to a video where I talked about different herbs that you can
use to help detox your brain. It's very important. It's more of a clinical thing that we deal
with however I'll put that video in the description below so you can look at that because it's
to be taken very seriously if you have this problem. Next is gonna be refined grains this
is a big problem as well because of course we live in a society eating an enormous amount
of half refined grains. It's not good these refined grains have a high glycemic load this
increased glycemic load has been correlated greatly to brain impairment. So people who
are going around eating all these white breads these with refine grains all these packaged
foods loaded with the refined grains. It's gonna cause a lot of brain impairment the
studies prove it and the other thing beyond the high glycemic load that it's going to
have it also is going to have gluten in it. This gluten has been proven to be a neuro
inflammation and there's different studies out there that correlated gluten to having
an almost 100 percent success rate in causing neuro inflammation. That's not a success rate
that we're proud of or that we should be happy about at all and so glutens related to that
neuroinflammation. What they found is that when elderly people consume to diet of 58
percent carbs that also was high in gluten what they found is that they had a two times
greater risk of mental impairment and dementia. That is something that is really dangerous
not something that we want to have. We want to have a good sharp memory. It's so important
and by the way what I'll do is I'll put a link to a video right here where I did a video
teaching you how to improve your memory and your focus. So check that video out well.
When we look at all these topics right here it should be taken very seriously. It's something
that's so important to understand that most people are walking around with a certain level
of neuro inflammation. It's dangerous as to what it can cause down the road and as far
as true mental diseases but it also is very dangerous in the now because when you think
of yourself having a hard time focusing having that brain fog. Having some gut issues, I
mean this is all major problems that is going to disrupt your life even further down the
road if you don't go and get them straightened out. So take this seriously and also let me
know in the comments below if you think you have something like this. Share this video
