Berries with Anthocyanins
Fruit can be as essential as meat as the basis of a healthy diet.
Fruit is by far more nutrient dense than starchy carbs and a good replacement--this is a major upgrade.
Fruit has the advantage of being able to be eaten raw so are not denatured by heat.
There is a wide variety of fruits with different kinds of affects.
There is almost no carb like lemon and grapefruit, to high carb like mangoes.
There is very cooling like watermelon to more more warning for cold weather like dates.
Juicy fruits are more hydrating with better structured water with minerals.
One important class of micronutrients are flavonoids, of which there are about 4,000 kinds.
Flavonoids are a subcategory of polyphenoals of which there are 8,000 kinds.
Flavoids are antiloxidants that work with vitamin C as a cofactor to make it utilizable.
The discover of vitamin C said you need flavoids with it or it does not work. He called the vitamin P.
Different colors reflect diferent flavonoid content.
Anthocyanins can be red, purple, blue or black berries.
Tart cherry juice is perhaps the best remedy for gout, which can be caused by high carbs (not from fruit) and kidney disease.
Gout shows up in pain and swelling of feet hands, but is at root a kidney problem.
It helps break down the uric acid that is not being processed out by the kidneys.
Anthocyanins are known to hlep the kidneys reduce inflammation and fibrolysis of the renal tubules that lower the GFR or glomecular filtration rate, the more general measure of kidney functioning.
Protein is the hardest food on kidneys so it's important to use foods to healt the kidneys that don't stress it.
The root cause of most kidney disease I think is metals toxicity and antixodiants help neuatralize the free radical effects of toxins that steal electrons, whereas antilodants or free radical quenches donate an electron to neutralize these stealers.
Kidney disease has far reaching effects on mineral assimulation and hydration that affect electron levels throughout the body all the way into the enregy of the mitochondria.
High blood pressure is low electical charage that moves the blood in addition to the heart as a pump.
Whole fruits have other nutrients essenital for blood preassure like potassium and magneisum. Many people have trouble utilizing isolated potassium.
There are no doubt other flavonoids doing things we don't know about.
The source of fruits can vary.
Fresh
Frozen
Freeze dried powder
Juice concenatrate
Juice unpasteurized
Quality of products can vary so may take awhile to find something that works.
I believe optimim diets should consider using fruits specific to individuals needs with as much attention as people put into meat types, sources and feed of the animals.
To help detoxify and balance minerals with alalinity fruit can be essential.
I know that if i'm eating mostly meat and neglecting fruit I can start of feel stagnate and then when I eat fruit I perk up.
I've also not done well on keto nor high carb from staruches: fruit is in the middle with even more choices.
The objection that "it's all sugar" is ridiculous, with no understanding of chemistry whatsoever. And as if low carb is the only way to address the problem of insulin sensitiviy.
Part of insulin insensitivity is damage to cell membranes that fruits can help repair through detoxification or cofactor nutrients.
