Hi my name is Louis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

We'll just say the three oils we should try to eliminate from our diet and then three healthier

0:16.7

oils that may even have some benefits.

0:20.1

So one of the studies that I shared in the new book in the East Martyr family cookbook

0:24.4

looks at olive oil and researchers at Auburn, determining that olive oil can actually help to

0:29.8

reduce inflammation in the brain and help to heal the blood brain barrier. That's

0:34.4

astronomically powerful. Why does it have such a resonance with the human brain and

0:38.4

nervous system? That's amazing. This is more mono and saturated fatty acids by the way and also if it's treated right

0:45.6

it's going to be bottled in dark glass because it's sensitive to light and heat and

0:49.2

so even using it by the way we want to make sure that we're not using it on too high of

0:53.5

heat and also traditionally maybe finishing your dishes with it right so your

1:21.9

metabolize this particular oil a certain way or

1:24.5

small amounts or whatever the case might be. So you got to keep that in mind.

1:27.4

So we've got nutrogenomics and nutrogenetics are going to be some of the

1:30.4

leading fields of science. Looking at how what you eat influences your

1:34.6

genetic expression and also your set of genes, how it's catering towards certain things
