| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Let's talk about the nine best ketogenic diet ingredients. All right, now this is based on two things. |
| 0:51.6 | One is low carb and nutrient dense. The number one would be shellfish. |
| 0:59.2 | I'm talking about clams, oysters, muscles. Absolutely amazing for their trace minerals, zinc, |
| 1:07.8 | selenium, iodine, chromium, and it has DHA. What is DHA? That's a real key omega-3 fatty acid. |
| 1:17.5 | So hands-down, shellfish has the best trace minerals and healthy fats. Number two, salmon. |
| 1:25.2 | And we're talking about wild-caught. Out of all the fish, wild caught salmon has one of the highest amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. And the two types that I'm talking about are DHA and EPA. Great for the retina of the eye, your brain, and the heart. And also high quality protein as well. Number three, |
| 1:48.3 | leafy greens like salads. Why? Because it has the minerals, potassium, magnesium, and loaded with |
| 1:56.1 | vitamin C. And these are very easy to digest, so I would consume these raw. All right. Number four, sardines. |
| 2:04.8 | Sardines are loaded with the DHA and EPA. Those are the omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, it's really good |
| 2:12.6 | protein. Number five, eggs. And I'm talking about organic, pasture-raised eggs, have pretty much every single |
| 2:20.5 | vitamin, except they don't have a lot of vitamin C, but other than that, they have pretty much |
| 2:24.6 | everything else. I consume a lot of eggs, and they're very, very healthy. They will not increase |
| 2:30.5 | your cholesterol. If you've heard that eggs will worsen your cholesterol, |
| 2:35.0 | watch that link down below because I go through it in depth and you can actually get the true |
| 2:40.3 | data on that. But eggs are really, really healthy. Number six, cruciferous vegetables. |
| 2:46.2 | Now, with most cruciferous, especially Brussels sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables, I recommend that you steam them because that will even enhance the phytonutrients in cruciferous vegetables. |
| 2:58.6 | The big benefit of cruciferous go beyond just their vitamins and minerals because they're loaded with phytonutrients. |
| 3:06.7 | And phytonutrients are the extra health factors |
| 3:10.5 | that can decrease the complications from diabetes, from Alzheimer's. |
