There are several brands of ice cream at the grocery store, which one will you pick to have that tasty treat at the end of your hard working day?
Would you pick one that claims it has zero fat, low in calories, somewhat cheaper in price or would you pick one that is nutrient dense, has no processed or filler ingredients and overall tastes supremely better than any other brands?
As “good” as the first one claims it to be, mainly for marketing purposes, you have to ultimately decide which brand has the better value for your brain & body.
When deciding to purchase and consuming any type of product at the grocery store, I always ask myself “Is this item going to improve my metabolism or is this item going to damage it?”
Ingredients such as Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Xylitol, Erythritol, Xanthan Gum to name a few are only fillers and additives in order to make the texture of the product similar to ice cream. It is approved for human consumption, however it can do more harm to your digestion system and your overall health in the long run the more often you consume these “toxic” ingredients.
Your brain will need to provide more of its energy towards breaking down all of the “toxic” ingredients that you consumed. This will make you feel more exhausted, more irritable/stressed, feeling cold – especially in the hands, feet and face, you might be sneezing & coughing more often, the list goes on and on.
Sure, it has lower fat and calories but if you consume any product with unnatural fillers and additives then your brain and body won’t be utilizing its daily energy as effectively as it should and you will be feeling more stressed and unproductive in your day.
These are a few examples of symptoms that your metabolism is not working as optimally as it should.
When consuming ingredients that are natural & free from any additives/fillers, can be utilized more as nutrients in our body. It is easier to digest, allowing your brain to utilize the energy to distribute blood flow throughout the body especially the extremities rather than just the midline structures of the body. You will have more energy to do things that you want to do in your day, rather than being forced by your brain to “rest it off” in a stressful state.
Choosing products free of any additives/fillers is a much smarter option for your metabolism and overall health, no matter how hard the producers try to sell their product to you.
