hey guys in this video I wanted to talk about something called rdas which are the nutrient requirements that we need okay so a lot of people have heard about them and they don’t know about them what that means but I wanted to bring up your awareness on the fact that an RDA is really a minimum requirement a bare minimum requirement to prevent a deficiency disease okay so you have scurvy which is the vitamin C deficiency it’s a classic vitamin C deficiency it’s called you have beriberi which is a b1 deficiency pellagra which is another B vitamin deficiency so these are diseases so number one it’s very hard to know if you’re getting your requirements okay so you’re gonna you’re not gonna take your app out and everything you eat and track it and saying oh yeah I’m getting enough vitamin A and vitamin B and things like that and number two another thing that we’ll another couple of variables that can interfere with this is that let’s say your body is under a massive stress or you have an infection or we have an injury or you’re getting up an age or you have poor digestion all of these factors can then increase the need for nutrients now I put a link down below of a document that you can download that basically lists all the nutrients and the top foods that you would have to focus on to get those nutrients and I recommend that you just scan the list of course you don’t have to memorize it but just look at it and just make sure you’re consuming more of those foods because you have nutrient-dense foods and then you have other foods that are not that nutrient-dense but they’re still good to consume so let’s just talk about the nutrient-dense foods we have cruciferous wild-caught fish is very nutrient dense pasture-raised eggs grass-fed animal products and the cheeses sprouts which have a high concentration of something called sulfur fame which is a great final nutrient that can help you organ meats it’s actually at the top of the list it has like the most concentrated nutrients it’s incredible seafood like you have oysters and you have shrimp things like that are very nutrient dense okay versus cucumbers eggplant squash iceberg lettuce onion you know you could eat these but just realize that these are not as dense so in the download below you can click it I listed all the real key foods that you should focus on and one less point about the version of ketosis that I recommend I’m always going to recommend 7 to 10 cups of vegetables not just for the potassium requirements but for all these other nutrients in the vegetables that you’re going to get because if you actually consume 7 to 10 cups you’re going to get plenty of these other nutrients and you’re not going to have to worry about some day getting some type of deficiency but I believe a lot of people have subclinical vitamin and mineral deficiencies that aren’t going to necessarily show up in a blood test because the real problem is in the tissues I mean even when you go into ketosis and you’re converting from sugar burning the fat burning if you’re deficient in potassium or B vitamins you are going to experience side effects the T key to fatigue in keto rash things like that so go ahead and download this document check it out and see if it can help you if you’re enjoying this information and getting something out of it please give me an unbiased Google review I put a link down below thanks
