EFR 430: The Wild Diet and Creating Healthy Traditions with with Abel James
A jump from the field of audio to health, nutrition, and fitness, wouldn't land perfectly when taken overnight. How then did Abel James, the man of the show today, get his mind and body dedicated to teaching and practising good health and nutrition? Join Chase on this episode of the Ever Forward Radio as he interviews Abel ‘Fat-Burning Man’ James, who is a number one best-selling author, a top-10 app developer, musician, radio talk show host, celebrity coach and entrepreneur. He is also the host of the podcast, ‘The Fat-Burning Man Show’, which is at the top of the charts in many countries around the world.
In the era of exhaustive diets and fitness regimes, listening and understanding what your body really needs can be difficult but not impossible. We need to get rid of the things we do not use and focus on that which needs to be prioritized.
"I need to keto harder" or "I need to diet harder" are only rants to trick or force yourself into doing things to please others.
This is where being like a kid can help. Children enjoy doing things and do it for the fun of the process and learning through it. What's more, they are invisibly rewarded for it later on in their lives. Something which doesn't give you immediate rewards, could have something better in store for your future.
Practise healthy eating. Cutting out completely on the carbs or the proteins could just not go well with your body. Abel has on the episode, said that he stresses on the need to replace the term "fruits and vegetables" with "vegetables and fruits". Do you see why he does that? You need to reverse the priority you give to the two!
Focus your energy in the right direction and invest in those that are good for you.
Tune in to the complete episode for some amazing tips on healthy eating, exercise and living a life you love!

Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids: Not only does grass fed beef contain much higher levels of omega-3s than conventional beef, it also contains an ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids which is vital in helping control and reduce inflammation.
Elevated levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): 100% grass fed beef is one of the best sources of CLA. CLA exerts potent antioxidant activity. Studies have documented CLA’s ability to prevent diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
More vitamins and minerals: 100% grass fed beef contains more calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, beta-carotene and iron than grain-fed beef.It also has higher levels of B vitamins – specifically (thiamin (B1) and riboflavin (B2), as well as the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. These fat soluble vitamins enhance mineral and protein absorption and are believed to protect against cardiovascular disease.
Elevated concentrations of Glutathione: Glutathione is often called the body's "master antioxidant". It is a very powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from oxidation and DNA damage.
Good for the environment: Conventionally raised, grain fed beef is indeed terrible for the environment. However, 100% grass fed beef helps to regenerate soil and grasslands which, in turn, helps pull carbon out of the atmosphere and put it back in the soil where it belongs.
