My Longevity Journey

  Want to share my liquid diet with you. It's complementary to Mediterrenean Keto. Some of these nutrients are either really hard to obtain in keto (resistant starch) or hard to obtain regularly in limited amounts (cranberry, blueberry, parsley etc). Liquid diet gives you control over the amount and regularity. Part 1. Around 15g of resistant starch per serving, twice a day. Maintain gut integrity, lower IL6, TNF-alpha, gut inflammation. Oat fiber (2 tsp) Green banana (1-2 tsp) Inulin (0.5-1 tsp) Acacai (0.5-1 tsp) High amylose maize-resistant starch type 2 (amount TBD) Part 2. Add missing components like low carb fruits or broccoli which I cannot eat very regularly (it requires prep; powder makes it regular). Cranberry - 1tsp Blueberry - 1tsp Broccoli powder - 2 tsp Turmeric (0.5-1 tsp) Parsley powder - 1tsp (apigenin, anti-cancer) Green tea powder - 0.5-1 tsp (EGCG, anti-cancer) Btw, I don't consume a multivitamin, but I eat vegetables & fish very regularly. This is on to...

  Overview ( ref ) : A lot of inflammation and oxidative stress comes from the gut. By fixing the gut microbiota and making the epithelium stronger, oxidation and inflammation comes down ( ref ). This may result in reduced blood glucose, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance ( ref ). Resistant starch, like fiber, reduces post-prandial glucose spike when taken with meals ( ref ). Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) in general may help resolve IBD ( ref ). Butyrate is healthy, it may help us age more slowly (HDAC inhibitor).  What type of RS to consume? Green Banana Flour , which is a kind of RS2, seems to have most consistently increased Butyrate in human subjects ( ref ).   Oat and/or oat fiber , too, are fairly safe & beneficial based on extensive human studies.  Leek and Garlic powder are rich in FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) and have excellent epidemiology. Clinical summary: RS supplementation caused a significant reduction in IL6 (weighted mean difference = − ...
