 Next question is from David GTZ zero nine What are foods that get a bad rap that are actually generally good for you? Oh, I got a good one rice Yeah, white rice is a good one this you know, there was a hmm. Maybe not so much now, but I mean for a long time It was like half brown rice because it's whole grain. There's more fiber it's better for you than white rice and Although it does have more fiber and it's whole grain and all that stuff and you know white rice Essentially, I take that part off and it's a little bit more process the truth is brown rice is harder to digest it contains what are called anti-nutrients which actually prevent the absorption of other things and Absorption and digestion is a very important factor to consider. So white rice For most people is actually healthier than brown rice to mention brown rice sucks. It doesn't taste good White rice is like a million times better. And when you flip it around you look at the labels I mean you were like splitting hair difference on the breakdown like that's a great point you bring up But I mean when you you know what it reminds me of another one is chicken thighs I mean I got sucked into the chicken breasts, you know movement in the fitness space And that's all I ate for decades was just chicken dry ass dry chicken breast And like as I started to understand nutrition and healthy fats and that all started to come together for me And I looked at the again looked at the chicken breasts and look at the chicken thighs flipped them around look at the things I was really looking for with the calories the fat the protein I'm like, oh my god And then when you taste the difference between a chicken thigh versus a chicken breast. It's like night and day difference So that would be another one. So with fatty steak. Yeah, I'm gonna revive some meat Yeah, it's bad rap the bad rap. Yeah, because of all the different political motives out there But I mean it's it's a staple food that we've had for ever, you know, and it's something that provides nutrients is very bioavailable Obviously there's like, you know people out there that you know might have a different reaction to there's always gonna be individual variances But you know for the majority of people red meat actually is is pretty good for you Yeah, and I want to say this if you're overeating and you're not active almost any food can become bad and the reverse is true If you're on if you're under eating your calories get away with a lot more. Yeah, so it's like, you know Oh, I'm eating healthy. This is you know, this is a natural food This is bananas and potatoes. Context matters here. Well, yeah, but you're you're obese and you're eating way too many calories So those are all now unhealthy for you. So that makes a big difference as well You know, I this may be not an issue so anymore But it was when I was you know training people back in the day. They jokes. Oh whole eggs, man whole eggs or Oregon meat for even Oregon meat You know doctors used to recommend you give this stuff to your kids before they invented multivitamins and stuff So all your kids low on iron cook them some liver or you know, they need more of these other nutrients Yeah, give them some some egg yolks and all of a sudden we were thought no butter was another one that we thought You know, it was really bad. Here's one that I think people still might think is bad and a big it depends on how it's fried Okay, so the oil that it's fried in but generally speaking if your calories are good and your fit and stuff Rinds or oh, I'll say olive oil is another one that people think it's an oil. You think it's bad Very healthy, but I think a lot of people know that but like pork rinds are I mean, it's straight up You know fat skin fried, but if your calories are pretty good Especially if you're eating a diet that's really low in carbohydrate and you're trying to go in that direction It's actually not a bad snack But there's a there's a difference right if you buy the ones that are fried and oils that aren't so great versus ones That are fried and oils that are I would you know, you kind of just graze right over the olive oil Olive oil and butter I think are two things that have had a bad rap forever that I use almost daily That's cuz we grew up in the fat is bad era. Yeah, and they also would would caution about like cooking it You know under too high of a temperature that it would become you know problematic for people But I mean that that minimal. Yes very minimal the effect minimal Here's one salt Bad rap still big one today and I'm gonna tell you something except for highly sensitive individuals with blood pressure issues Where they need to be careful with their sodium Salt is actually it's not only is it good for you? It's essential humans literally fought wars over salt This is true. That's how important it is for our survival And when you read studies that look at healthy populations Higher sodium and takes are actually connected to longer life span If you're active and you work out and you sweat and your diet's normally good You don't want low sodium low sodium in that case actually it can be correlated to worse health outcomes worse performance You know electrolyte issues stuff like that. That's why when we started working with LMNT They're an electrolyte company that actually uses Appropriate levels of sodium so if you're drinking electrolytes for the electrolytes because you're like I need electrolytes You want a good amount of sodium? That's the most important of all those electrolytes Otherwise, it's just kind of you know a waste of time. In fact, I think the original Gatorade Was way more higher the majority was sodium. It was higher in sodium than they eventually you know because you know of course the Media made it sound like sodium super bad. So that's one of my favorite ones
