Best Hot Peppers, The Many Benefits, Rankings, Side Effects & Experience
𝕻icante, or spicy hot peppers are not as popular here in Panama, as they are in my home town of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
which is also the home town of the #1 International Fiery Foods Festival and also the more famous International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
Hot peppers have been used, cultivated and cherished since man existed. Mostly for a good purpose, sometimes for bad.
Right away with athletic performance clients, I make sure a fiery food practice is employed. If you want a strong system overall, and you are asking me, you want to start training or progress as significantly as possible your ability to eat the best hot peppers.
Once you have the skill it’s one you won’t want to lose. They say once you can’t take it anymore it’s hopeless you are without the spice and that’s not good.
The best hot peppers are superfoods. If you are one of the ones that thought you couldn’t but want to get back into it just go slow and keep tomatoes and tomato-based sauces out of it in the beginning. A best olive oil helps.
The love of hot peppers, and the health benefits that have been realized and enjoyed strongly dispel the notions that, if it tastes good it is best for you, or that taste is an object of edibility.
In the garden I have grown some habanero relative peppers, the Mayan relative pepper, a little round ‘tabasco’ pepper and a few jalapenos in the mountains, speak for the general idea in local peppers. There are many species of best hot peppers that do well here, and really most hot peppers can do well anywhere they are fed and attended to well.
The most well known hot variety, although not so hot here anymore, are listed as ‘Mayan’ peppers, and they are larger peppers and look like the ‘Red and Green Chile’ in New Mexico that hangs on ‘ristras.’
New Mexicans have been eating these (our local version of that can be very hot) chili peppers that grow there for thousands of years. New Mexicans I know will tell you our pepper is from there in New Mexico brought directly from God and is the super, superfood of them all, and you will read in a moment how they really are!
The going idea in the migratory plant study is that the Mayan pepper is from the traditional Aji, and from that different cultivars evolved.
Concretely, in contrast, there is really nothing to assure that this idea is true, or that the idea of New Mexico’s Hatch Green Chili being a completely different insert of completely different pepper either.
Some have theorized that Hatch Green Chili peppers, the best hot pepper could be behind Albuquerque dominating the UFC.
Ideas of hot foods making hot heads in history are all theoretical. Mostly the thought was spicy food love started during specific cultures who practiced developing intentional pain tolerance.
Recently, phytoliths of garlic mustard seed (Alliaria petiolata) were found in carbonized food deposits on prehistoric pottery from the western Baltic dating from 6,1 k.a to 5,7 k.a cal BP (Ertebölle Complex).
This archaeological evidence suggests much greater antiquity to the spicing of foods than previously thought within a hunter-gatherer or ancient premise.
Garlic mustard a.k.a. Hedge garlic alliaria petiolata is an inconspicuous plant, found in clumps in the lighter forest, which belongs to the Brassicaceae family of plants. It is native to Europe, Western and Central Asia, and Northwestern Africa. The leaves, flowers, and fruit are of the species are all edible.
The fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. The name comes from the Aztec language, Nahuati.
On our own we know that eating spicy foods activates en expulsion of mucus from the system, namely in the sinuses.
This is important cleaning, and many health theories such as Arnold Ehret, a Godfather to vegetable healing have been logically formed around mucus-lessness as the real code to staying healthy.
No pain no gain can be employed here, and one can do their own experiment with that. Eat a large number of strong peppers, and on the other side of the hurt, one will find that their system is clear.
Electrophysiological records in both peripheral and central nervous systems show that the primate sensory taste system is basically organized around two major clusters of fibers and their cortical projections.
Co-variations between the neural responses to various compounds were observed for sugars, on the one hand, and for tannic acids and alkaloids. Our human taste perception system is not essentially different from that of the other primates as far as the dichotomy allowing discrimination of noxious v.s. beneficial substances through taste; clearly in the case of hot peppers not so much, nor maybe in garlic, black pepper ginger or turmeric.
Interestingly we know that two of these hard tasting miracles, turmeric, and black pepper, are more active together and this could be similar in hot peppers.
An increasing amount of evidence shows that animals such as insects, birds, and primates use plant parts with certain categorical compounds known as ‘secondary compounds’ to improve their comfort or their health.
The concept of self-medication now generally accepted in primates but also in other vertebrates was first proposed by D.H Janzen (1978), an ecologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
Liken to the spice, bitterness is normally suggested to represent a reliable signal of toxicity for animals and humans but a number of secondary compounds are bitter tasting (Saponins, Alkaloids, and some Sesquiterpenoids, Terpenoids and Steroid Glycosides) and many of these substances possess important pharmacological activity.
Garlic mustard produces a variety of helpful secondary compounds including flavonoids, defense proteins, glycosides,
glucosinolates, particularly Sinigrin, a breakdown product allyl- isothiocyanate (AITC) that reduce its palatability to herbivores.
The chili plant seed is broken down by humans and primates whose taste receptors are burned, but the bird’s digestive tract does not break down the seed nor does the bird spit it out, from any taste reaction because it does not have the primal dichotomy of dissemination as an obstruction to his interest in the seed.
The plant should be well propagated by the bird gardener members of a miraculous human-inspired permaculture somewhere.
Popular Science and many others have had a very difficult time deciphering the love of chili eating, but well recognized that many do love it, and to them, it’s a deep passion. Chili is still the word for the plant pepper as it was for the Mayans and the Aztecs who may have been the one who gave it that name.
“Acceptance of food depends not only on taste, but also on olfactory, tactile and visual signals, as well as memories of previous, similar experiences and social expectations. Food palatability and hedonic value therefore play central roles in nutrient intake. As a result, ancestral humans who liked spicy food—and therefore gained from its health benefits—might well have had longer, healthier lives and more offspring” (Nilius & Giovanni 2011)
Paul Sherman, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York has research that shows people in warmer regions of the world benefiting from eating spicier foods, because of the fiery peppers are natural antimicrobials.
Food born pathogens and parasites are more populated in warmer climates, and spices can kill or inhibit their growth.
The spicy research presented in National Geographic (2005) sited that in the same region of Thailand one culture who eats blander foods, ( less spicy) does experience more diarrhea and infections.
Paul went on to find out that hotter cultures ate the hotter foods, and colder ones ate less spicey foods, interestingly the germ stopper is less popular where it is not needed, such as in cold climate places.
Albuquerque, nestled into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, must be the exception.
Here are the rankings for the best hot peppers, you can order to your door.
HOT PEPPER RANKINGS
1. 505 Green Chili
Hands down. Listen I am from New Mexico, I was born there, I know the deal. New Mexico Hatch Green Chili, is legendary for it’s nutrition and it’s great taste, we eat this stuff on everything.

HOT PEPPER BENEFITS
Studies showed that eating spicy foods was the factor behind a 14% decrease in overall mortality, compared to folks who can’t take the heat [2]. Capsicum has positive vascular and metabolic effects, this makes it also very important to a Nutritional Diversity diet. [3] 💋
HOT PEPPER SIDE EFFECTS
Hot chili peppers can burn you, is several places, the worst one is the eyes or private areas. Make sure to wash your hands when handling the fire fruits. To some and depending on the current diet they can cause over-acidity.
HOT PEPPER EXPERIENCE
I am in the Caribbean right now, on an island in Panama known as Bocas del Toro, a great place for permaculture farming, where there are some famed hot sauces but it’s not necessarily somewhere I would send a firey food lover. Bocas sauce is hot, but not that hot, and it does have a mustard seed base. Barbados had some great hot stuff too.
There are a few hot sauces of weight here for sure and across Central and South America a few more. I have had some solid stuff, and there are surely some murderous hot peppers growing quite well here in the tropics, and proudly many types at our own small family farm.
HOT PEPPER DISCUSSION
Tough Guys Eat Spicy Food :
1932, the Soviet Union sent one of its best agents to China, a former schoolteacher and counter-espionage expert from Germany named Otto Braun.
His mission was to serve as a military adviser to the Chinese Communists, who were engaged in a desperate battle for survival against Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists.
The tale of Braun’s adventures in the Chinese Communist revolution is packed with enough twists and turns for a big-screen thriller. In the clutch of culinary history, one quote from Braun’s autobiography recalls his first impressions of Mao Zedong, the man who would soon go on to become China’s Emperor.
“The food of the true revolutionary is the red pepper,” declared Mao. “And he who cannot endure red peppers is also unable to fight.”
I love this story, and I believe the quote is accurate. I don’t let the young men around me off easy for eating a bland plate of food, and I will have my own hot something with me, even if their household is unprepared, always. “Real Tough Guys Eat Spicy Food,” is one of the things they may hear me say.
I know, coming from Albuquerque New Mexico, where we love our Green Chili more than our … it’s a long-lasting positive relationship that never goes bad.
I thought for the longest time there would be no way I could ever live without the stuff. It really was that important to me, I am close to finding some imports or doing a dedicated climate control space to grow some of my own here but sadly at this time I miss her.
I am able to find a few good hot peppers here in Panama though.
Science now finds connections to neurological and hormonal endorphin releases in the hot peppers as well as other reactions that affect our happiness and our senses in life.
The NAUTILUS company published an article last year (Andrew Leonard 2016) entitled “Why Revolutionaries Love Spicy Food,” which explains basically that firey people like firey food, and that there is a link between the chili pepper and risk-taking.
Christopher Columbus on Jan. 1, 1493, recorded in his diary, his discovery of the chili pepper, on the Caribbean isla of Hispaniola,“the pepper which the local Indians used as spice is more abundant and more valuable than either black or melegueta pepper [an African spice from the ginger family].”
A Sichuanese folk saying goes: “Spicy peppers are the meat of poor guys.” Sichuan people an already hot eating people were the main group that adopted the chili pepper significantly when Columbus first imported it to Europe and Asia. Poor guys are usually tougher guys.
The chili pepper plant is a strong grower, easy to cultivate, productive crop. High in A, B, and C’s vitamin spread of nutrition, sure to keep the body and immune system tough and ready.
Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper, y Fuchsia Dunlop, an author of Chinese cookbooks, says that the region’s passion for spice is explained by the intersection between climate and traditional Chinese medicine: “In terms of Chinese medicine, the body is an energetic system, in which damp and dry, cold and hot, yin and yang, must be balanced.”
In the mid-70’s a study of the pepper craze in Oaxaca, Senior Rozin of the University of Pennsylvania determined that the act of eating chili peppers is an acquired taste in Mexico.
Children do not come out of the womb craving a scorching hot cuisine. They’re encouraged, by their families, to handle the chili’s burn with small doses that gradually increase.
In describing the variance between heavy hitter hot mouths and the light roaster, Rozin came up with a theory he called “benign masochism.” A certain type of person, he theorized, was lured to the burn, the same kind of person, he suggested, who might be drawn to other “sensation-seeking” activities.
Surprising amounts of sources word the chili peppers effect by saying the chili gives a mild ‘high.’
During the Sino-Japanese War between 1937-1945, of the 1,052 generals and marshals who served in the early ranks of the People’s Liberation Army, a whopping 82 percent hailed from China’s four spiciest provinces is pointed out by an essay from Hongjie Wang, an associate professor of history at Armstrong State University in Georgia.
Wang specializes in Sichuan culture, and in his essay, “Hot Peppers, Sichuan Cuisine and the Revolutions in Modern China,” he writes of one contemporary Chinese cultural observer who called Sichuan’s inherent “potential for rebellion, so beautiful and marvelous.” In 1911, according to Wang, a protest against “imperialist” control of newly constructed railroads in Sichuan triggered national unrest that ultimately led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
One could make the case that Sichuanese hot tempers set in motion the entire process of China’s modern political development. Anecdotal in the language of Sichuan, Wang scribes, “eating spicy food has come to be regarded as an indication of such personal characteristics as courage, valor, and endurance, all essential for a potential revolutionary.”
In a cultural list of the spiciest food geography, the “Spicy Quest” came up with the following red zones:
- South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Polynesian SE Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei),
- Buddhist SE Asia (Thailand, Laos, Burma, Vietnam),
- Himalayas (Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet?),
- China (Sichaun and Hunan provinces),
- Indigenous South America (Bolivia, Ecuador, Amazon),
- American Desert (US Southeast, New Mexico, Mexico),
- Korea Peninsula Sphere (Korean regions in China, Korea, and Russia, nearby Japanese and Chinese islands),
- East Mediterranean (Syria, Lebanon),
- Southern Africa (South Africa, Mozambique), Balkans, North Africa (Tunisia),
- West Africa (Guinea, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, Liberia),
- and the Caribbean (Trinidad, Jamaica).
A hot food eater identity is reasonably a daring individual who may like pain. Personality types class in the risk-taking, nomads on the move who can carry a cheap and easy-to-grow option for adding flavor to a constrained diet. Or they are from a hot and humid climate, where microorganisms grow, or strongly favoring a yin and yang medical philosophy.
The reasoning I like the best is those that believe the hot pepper is a source of courage and energy and makes them tough.
Certain indications point to fiery citrus combinations as being powerful pre-workout employs. This is not an advised combination for those building their tolerance to spicy food, but for advanced practitioners.
I can testify to you that real tough guys eat spicy food, that chili peppers are muscle food, and healthy food and that my people have bee eating and growing this food right where I was born and raised, under the red skies. 100% 505, (Hatch) is something I am very proud of, and what every Albuquerque born stud can tell you, is we love our Green Chili – and we love it so much that we will fight about it. 😀
A Spicy Chocolate Food of the Gods
The Food of the Gods, of the Mayan and Azteca cultures; referring to their invented substances are usually ingested as a drink, chocolate was a mix that at that time called XOCOLATL: (SHOW-CO-LA-TIL) included hot peppers, a type we ave called for a long time now, “chili peppers.”
Spicy Food is For Tough Girls Too!
Holly Holm is shining athletic star that surely eats hot peppers and fiery food every day, and has dominated the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s divisions, for years now after obtaining about every boxing belt she possibly could have before making the MMA switch at age 30.I figure if you eat enough hot peppers you can almost kind of be like her; from Albuquerque (cause that is the real secret).
In a video of the pop song “La Mei zi” by Hunanese singer Song Zuying, who lives in a firey foods culture in Asia, is seen surrounded in scores of young, red-clad Chinese women frolicking amid a harvest of heaps of chili peppers, as Song Zuying sings:
As children, spiciness is not the spicy girls’ fear
As adults, spicy girls don’t fear the heat
Getting married, spicy girls fear that things might not be spicy enough.
In everything I do since her birth, I keep my daughter in mind, and so now that she follows the site regularly and I hope the diet too, she can start eating spicy foods, cause I know the people of her geographic region- and they are nowhere near as tough as Duke City people not even close, and I know they don’t have much hot stuff going on either, so she will have to go search out hot peppers.
Simply Go Spicy: Eat the hottest things you find on everything you eat, and you’ll be tougher all the way through those who do not. Life is just one big fight, what kind of champion, what kind of character, are you going to build? Yes, I already know and you do to: A Hot One!

Best Cordyceps Mushrooms, Benefits & Experience
Best cordyceps mushrooms are a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on the larvae of insects that have been mentioned since the days of old Ancient Chinese herbal literature and used over Centuries as the cure to 21 different ailments in total. [1]
They work as fungi that attack their insect host body and as the larvae grow the slender stems that grow inside and outside the being take control of the caterpillar or other host and guide the creature into a dark damp place where it can go into a spore production cycle fulfilling the final biological destiny of procreation.
Here at our study center in Panama, we call it “Zombie Powder,” and only effective stuff earns nicknames around this place. It is a Zombie stamina increase too; the substance will definitely help keep you going, in our experience.
Since we started incorporating these fungi in our routine we clearly incorporated an output multiplier as several performance markers really went up across the board for testers, namely stamina for non-endurance athletes. This is in our own research and testing and only this way can one really come up with accurate consumption guidelines.
“If you want to put it out, you have to put it in.”
The remains of the insect and fungi are then hand-collected, dried, and used to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease, and low sex drive.
The best cordyceps mushroom supplements on the market today usually do not include the insects and are grown using alternative mediums.
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (renamed 2007), Sphaeria sinensis grows on the larvae of the caterpillar Hepialus armoricanus Oberthur. Traditionally the caterpillar and the fungi are consumed together.
There could be several different versions of the particular species, such as those collected in Bhutan. [2]
I often wonder in the garden if extreme strength or ability can be made from the foundation of extreme nutrition – of course, it does.
Nutritional Biodiversity Diet Model Basic: Our entire idea here is to form a minimum of 60 species, highly diverse, strategicly designed nutrition plans derived from non-monoculture cropping systems, and measure up dramatic increases in performance
Okay, let’s get into the best cordyceps mushroom supplements available.
BENEFITS
Lab tests and Centuries of use suggest the best cordyceps promote anti-aging and sustained youthfulness, exercise performance enhancements, and heart health.
Several great athletic tests have gone on with this fungi species and the clear result of performance enhancement is there! It’s great also because we get to see a model for our own athletic nutrition testing of the NDdiet. (x)
Best cordyceps athletic test findings support the belief held in China that Cs-4 could improve oxygen uptake or aerobic capacity and ventilation function and resistance to fatigue of elderly people in exercise. [3] This is a great supplement for older people.
Cordyceps have effects on both innate body immunity and adaptive immunity, furthermore, cordyceps also feature a modulatory effect on the stomach’s overall immune system, which may further influence systemic immune function. These same scientific examinations and studies show cordyceps fungi types to be anti-tumor acting medicine, as well as protective effects to the kidneys and anti-hypoglycemic effects. [4]
Swimming tests confirm fatigue resistance and I am a big long-distance ocean swimmer, so this is important to me. [5]
SIDE EFFECTS
There is a wealth of testimony out there now to the great effects that these best cordyceps are having on people. There are not too many side effects reported and the amount of existing documentation for studying use is immense. [9]
You may not want to take the best cordyceps if you have a myelogenous type of cancer such as AML or CML. Cordyceps mushrooms have been shown to increase the proliferation of red blood precursor cells, who arise from the same lineage as the cells that cause myelogenous cancers.
Or, if you are taking insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering medications as cordyceps may have an additive hypoglycemic effect and so blood glucose should be monitored.
If a drug is taken that has a “blood-thinning” activity, cordyceps may further increase the risk of heavy bleeding. [6]
Likely recognized initially for the appearance of animal transformation into a plant, this fungi-insect relationship as a food has been thoroughly investigated and used in ancient Asian cultures. [7]
Learning and memory improvements were dynamically shown through supplementation animal testing describes as
This is an interesting study where model, where learning and memory impairment was established via injection of scopolamine hydrobromide and the effects of different doses of Cordyceps polypeptide, delivered intra-gastrically were investigated physical tests such as a maze, the measurement of several biological indexes in the serum, and brain tissue of the mice, and the identification of differentially expressed genes and the related cellular signaling pathways. The results showed that Cordyceps polypeptide could improve learning and memory. [8]
Drink more water while taking a cordyceps supplement.
EXPERIENCE
There are some indications that cordyceps fermentation could produce a much more stunning set of results. Possibly cordyceps kombucha is a worthwhile experiment for the team. [x]
Abstractly, when I think of how the next generation spores would find new caterpillars, it must be a combination of intelligently chasing new colonies of the caterpillars with the zombie caterpillar body and maybe even intelligent flight of the spore to the new larvae? It’s hard to imagine a species of fungi that survives this way. Such an incredible species it’s no doubt the two possess together such marvelous medical miracles.
Our cordyceps experience is just beginning, but we will be sure to update this section as that experience grows in knowledge, scientific confirmations, and new discoveries.
Powdered cordyceps should not be mixed with oils, and should be mixed with dense fiber foods that can bind to the powder. Blend thoroughly.
A dose too heavy can cause intestinal pains and constipation.
I had some candy-coated cashews the other day that tasted just like them. Someone gave them to me, as I haven’t not been doing seed foods for a few years now.
It has been noticed that one week to 30-day intensive consumption has great benefit, and it has been felt that 30days could be the best end of the cycle for this consumable.
We find the substance most favorable for running and swimming.
DISCUSSION
With the best cordyceps product ranking, we were very pleased to find great availability for this lesser-known and lesser emphasized age-old superfood.
Bulk Supplements Company is a great supplier of pure well-made and authentic supplements and they offer a cordyceps product that we tried and it was amazing! Very effective athletic performance supplement we are very thankful to have in the “go box.”
General user satisfaction is exceptionally high with this product among all manufacturers we ranked.
✪ Update! Today November 17, 2019, as an ode to Paul Stamens and hearty thanks for his new book to include the shared discovery of the mycelial brain networks on the Joe Rogan Experience (#1385); we talk benefits, the best cordyceps available and possible benefits and side effects that come with their use.

The great thing about fungi is it is really easy to be procreational because fungi spores grow well with calculated nutrition and a good environment it could even be argued that a cordyceps growing environment enhanced by humans would produce even better more powerful strains and more potent fungi.

Joe Rogan likes them.
Go slow and in small increments. Drink lots of water.
Try messing around with a ferment. 💎
Hey just give me the best stuff.

Ultimate Fighters Are Considered Ultimate Athletes : What is the Ultimate MMA Diet!?
As the sport of Ultimate Fighting, otherwise known as Mixed Martial Arts or MMA for short, grows in popularity, many sports enthusiasts have described the fighters as ultimate athletes. A sport where players take more risks and get put to more demanding tests than other athletes in other sports. This kind of ultimate performance should have a more robust diet then too. Let’s check out what could be some of the best MMA diet information ever constructed.
Just so happens we can tell you the ultimate diet, that no one quite has sited in yet. Also, the ultimate fitness & nutrition coaching that you need.
Here is a fun one for you, we asked the A.I. to build us the ultimate diet for a UFC fighter.
Here is what it gave us:
Designing a diet plan for a UFC fighter requires careful consideration of their training intensity, weight class goals, and individual needs. Here’s a sample diet plan that can serve as a starting point. However, it’s important for the fighter to consult with a sports nutritionist or dietitian to tailor the plan to their specific requirements.
Note: This sample diet plan assumes the fighter is in a training camp and has a moderate to high training volume.
Meal 1 – Breakfast:
- Oatmeal with mixed berries, nuts, and a scoop of protein powder.
- Whole-grain toast with avocado.
- Scrambled eggs with spinach and bell peppers.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice or water.
Meal 2 – Mid-Morning Snack:
- Greek yogurt with honey and sliced bananas.
- Handful of almonds or mixed nuts.
Meal 3 – Lunch:
- Grilled chicken breast or lean turkey.
- Quinoa or brown rice.
- Steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, asparagus).
- Side salad with mixed greens and olive oil vinaigrette.
Meal 4 – Afternoon Snack:
- Rice cakes with almond butter.
- Carrot and celery sticks with hummus.
Meal 5 – Pre-Training:
- Grilled fish (salmon, tuna) or lean beef.
- Sweet potatoes or whole-grain pasta.
- Steamed or grilled mixed vegetables.
- A small serving of fruit (apple, pear).
Meal 6 – Post-Training:
- Whey protein shake with water.
- Banana or other easily digestible carbohydrate source.
Meal 7 – Dinner:
- Lean protein source (chicken, turkey, fish) or plant-based protein.
- Quinoa or brown rice.
- Steamed or sautéed vegetables.
- Mixed salad with a variety of colorful veggies.
Meal 8 – Evening Snack:
- Cottage cheese with mixed berries.
- Herbal tea or water.
Important Nutritional Considerations:
- Hydration: Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly.
- Protein: Ensure sufficient protein intake to support muscle recovery and growth.
- Carbohydrates: Include complex carbohydrates to fuel training sessions and replenish glycogen stores.
- Fats: Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables for essential vitamins and minerals.
- Timing: Consume a balanced meal containing protein and carbohydrates before and after training.
- Weight Management: If cutting weight for a specific class, consult with a nutritionist to create a safe and effective weight-cutting strategy.
Remember, every fighter’s body is different, so it’s crucial to adjust the plan based on individual preferences, training intensity, and dietary requirements. Regular monitoring and adjustments, preferably with the guidance of a professional, are essential for optimal performance and health.
The extreme performance and extreme nutritional need make it very interesting for a nutritional botanist concerned with athletics such as myself to look at these fighters’ diets. Over the course of this year, I have taken an in-depth look at two of the ‘ultimate, MMA guys,’ their diets, and their hired nutritionists. I have also discussed how the Nutritional Diversity diet can help establish a baseline guarantee of nutritional coverage for any athlete and any fighter.
I can talk about MMA cause I have done it my whole life, on the pavement too many times for free! I am born and raised in Albuquerque – to the bone -, and I am personally coming out of the most victorious MMA camp in the world.
I can talk about diet cause I work currently in Panama on the cutting edge diet today in the world.
Remember that without enough water, your performance, your results, and your technique will not improve!
Us real people we like to hear from people who do it and not just say it. I prefer someone who says nothing and does their work dependably over all other types. Speaking of too much gab – let’s get to it.
Finding the Ultimate MMA Diet is not so easy…
What is the best MMA diet to have behind you to support killer MMA training? What would it take diet-wise to step training to a new level?
MMA fighters suffer serious injuries regularly, and they need to have all the bases covered. If what they say about your nutrition being the largest part of your success and performance is true, what exact nutrition plan will I employ?
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. -Muhhamed Ali
Whether or not you are an MMA fan, you have to admit a Mixed Martial Arts Fighter is a tested athlete who must be dexterous, and well rounded on stamina and strength, well engaged in mindful focus, that must be fast and able to switch gears and rhythms on the flash.
His or her joints and bones need lots of support both nutritionally and conditionally to take that kind of beating they take in the ring or octagon.
A fighters mind needs to be firing on all pins to see and defend the diverse set of attacks that could be coming at them.
Fighter Diet
Clearly, when it comes to the pro’s and doing things right in this MMA sport, the MMA diet nutrition has to be a science. Many nutritionists, trainers, and athletes claim food is the biggest part of the equation contributing to the final performance.
This science of biology and food conversion is ultimately a science of love, and of how to take optimal care of ourselves. To start, I want to take a look at what I can find out about what these top MMA guys out there today eat for their MMA diet, and see about getting together the beginnings of an Ultimate MMA Diet plan that could even improve existing performance all on its own. This is what the ND biodiverse food study is all about.
John Jones & Loutrition Diet
John Jones, two-time undefeated Light Heavyweight Champion of the UFC with 22 wins, 9 by knockout, 6 by submission, and one loss by disqualification, has been considered by many the greatest MMA fighter of all time (GOAT). John Jones trains at the Greg Jackson-Wink Academy in Albuquerque now and since 2012, and is originally from New York.
I am big Jones fan cause he is the best and he is the smartest and he knows to train on my team. 😉
According to Play it on Point, this is a diet example for Johnny ‘Bones’ Jones. He mentions the use of black rice in his interview, and other ingredients on occasion, of course, not listed below.
Breakfast: 2.5 fl. oz low-fat, plain kefir 0.5 oz (medium) banana 1/2 tbsp peanut butter 1.5 oz oatmeal
Lunch: 21.4 oz water 2.5 oz ground turkey breast – no skin 4.5 eggs – egg whites 2.5 cups spinach 9.5 oz pineapple (9.5 oz) 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Snack Meal: 21 oz water 2.5 oz low-fat, plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup grapes 3 Brazil nuts
Dinner: 21 oz water 5.5 oz tilapia 1/2 medium lemon 2.5 cups collard greens 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 tbsp olive oil
In one quick video for MMA TV in November of 2015, John sat down to eat a “5x, in 2 weeks meal” of, oatmeal, whole-grain toast, potatoes, blueberries, an omelet, and 2 grilled chicken breasts from the Albuquerque restaurant Flying Star. Interesting to me that three starch and grain foods are eaten together in this portion of his MMA diet.
I don’t know how credible a source or how current the information is above but John Jones told USA Today in April 2016 that he now adheres to the tutelage of nutritionist Louis Giordano, in a highly intelligent well-informed system, a carbohydrate-based diet, where even cake can be eaten, if it is in the correct balance with other foods. He mentions in the article that he realized how wrong he had been eating, and made lots of corrections.
I myself have lost respect, and become disappointed in the UFC, and the U.S. sports commissions being that the king in the game was obviously set up, and a deserved career and deserving fans are all robbed such incredible possibilities. I know being a guy from Jackson’s camp, the likely hood of him knowingly being involved with illegal enhancement substances is so very close to, if not is; no chance.
Good to see Jones back in the cage now, putting down his opponents like the tune never skipped a beat.
Lou Giordano, also known as ‘Loutrition,’ who has worked with several Legendary Fighters such as Dan Henderson, BJ Penn, and Andrei Arlovski, is a major proponent against the dreaded ‘weight cut,’ where a fighter will dehydrate himself to lose ten pounds(or more), and then eat like a goat to try to come back to 100% for the fight. Johnny Hendrix fell places from the title shot he could almost smell, taken out before entering the ring ever, to the hospital from his weight cut, and then hired Giordano also.
Titan FC Fighter Jose Torres, another client of Giordano’s tells Cage Pages that he photographs each meal, and sends notes on his weight and workout, how he felt and other data to the nutrition guru, who would work out his next day that night, keeping a daily balance managed so the fighter stays on point. The guru seems to be a fan of 5 to 6 meals a day.
GSP & Dr. Berardi
George Saint Pierre or GSP for short is another one who is arguably the pound-for-pound greatest of all time. The French-speaking Quebecer, pioneered his MMA career from loved developed from martial arts movies, in a place where not many martial arts were available in the school setting.
GSP holds a mixed martial arts record of 26 wins with 8 knockouts, and 6 submissions, two losses and is the former Welterweight and Middleweight Champion of the UFC.
In 2009 just after defending his title against BJ Penn, GSP hired Dr. John Berardi who is the creator of the Surge recovery product, and the Precision Nutrition team, a fitness software creator and coaching program, which caters heavily to nutritionists and coaches. Dr. Berardi found and recruited two chefs in the area to the team, preparing stuff that looks like this:
– 1 lower carb anytime meal to be eaten whenever you like: 650 calories – 60g protein, 40g carbs, 30g fat
– 1 lower carb anytime meal o be eaten whenever you like: 650 calories – 60g protein, 40g carbs, 30g fat
– 1 high-carb post-exercise meal to be eaten immediately after training (a recipe that can be eaten cold): 700 calories – 60g protein, 100g carbs, 10g fat
“Georges’ baseline menu is about 3200-3500kcal per day, with around 250 grams of protein, 350 grams of carbs, and 100 grams of fat. Post-workout meals are higher in protein and carbs, while being lower in fat, and eaten right after workouts. Evening meals are higher in protein and fat while being low in carbs.”
In the Case of GSP research was easy, and these guys have been very forthcoming with their diet supplements planning. Traditional meal ingredients that are organic are employed to achieve the baseline goals, and are supplemented by 2 Shakes (per day): 1 shake at a time, between meals, mixed with almond milk or water 4 fish oil capsules 1 scoop milk-based protein powder 1 scoop greens supplement 1 cup frozen mixed berries; (282 calories – 18g protein, 25g carbs, 12g fa)t. Before training: ½ protein bar Immediately after training: 1 Surge Recovery drink (330 calories – 25g protein, 44g carbs, 1g fa)t. Followed by a post-workout meal 1 hour later.
Brands are Muscle Milk protein powder from CytoSport, Greens+ from Genuine Health, Flameout fish oil capsules from Biotest. Finbar from Biotest: 125 calories – 7g protein, 20g carbs, 4g fat, Surge Workout Fuel from Biotest: 85 calories – 8g protein, 21g carbs, 0 fat
Approximate Total Baseline Intake: 3104 calories – 256g protein (30%), 315 carbs (40%), 99g fat (30%), and GSP is my size (170-200) so this was cool to see.
Stay tuned for a part two and three, of looking for the best MMA diets.
Just for Fun
Not knock to Loutrition, or this diet, if this is even still or ever was it (*references below_).. I am telling ya too that I write this with your eyes and mind in the forefront, I would design a much different thing in person, but many of the names of ingredients are unknown outside of very technical references. In other words I am writing a simple “just for fun,” and for an initial abstract formulation of a serious diet plan down the road for this.
See more about the Panama study where we actually do this here.
(contains meat*)
Breakfast: 2.5 fl. oz low-fat, plain kefir 0.5 oz (medium) banana 1/2 tbsp peanut butter 1.5 oz oatmeal.
I allways wonder if athletes tell it all in interviews
. I am sure they don’t share their best secrets. This is what I might think up for a super diet EXAMPLE and slowly try to refine:
All Central American Permaculture & wild foods: 1 plantain, 2 leaves culantro, 6 leaves wild zornia, 2 ounces of fresh jackfruit, 4 mangosteen fruit, 1/2 ounce baked vegetable state breadfruit, shredded carrot, and homegrown tomato as a salad. 1/4 ounce ambrosia Peruvianna a.k.a. American ragweed blended with : 1/2 mango fruit and 1 leaf, 1/4 avocado and 1 leaf, 3 leaves cranberry hibiscus, 3 leaves pogonia, 6 leaves mugwort, 2 leaves hogweed, 1 Eugenes Victoriana fruit, 1 starfruit, coconut water, and turkey tail mushroom. Large mustard leaf and one large kail or turmeric leaf used to role: 1/16 ounce of each lovage leaf, parsley head, and stem, mini shoots wild, gotu kola, and wild clover.
I would alternate this with intermittent fasting sometimes. One day this big breakfast next day intermittent fast. Revving up for a big breakfast in the morning will enhance the effects of the fast.
Lunch: 21.4 oz water 2.5 oz ground turkey breast – no skin 4.5 eggs – egg whites 2.5 cups spinach 9.5 oz pineapple (9.5 oz) 1/2 tbsp olive oil
This is quite a good lunch, and since he has been on it we might as well keep it in place as there is a small adjustment and getting used to sufficient full spectrum Nutritional Diversity diet plans. A couple of things to note are, that pineapples have been worked over, and harshly augmented in many cases – its crucial to get a homegrown pineapple of a more original strain. They are almost always monoculture crops. Also, this has happened to the common “Chiquita” banana.
Snack Meal: 21 oz water 2.5 oz low-fat, plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup grapes 3 Brazil nuts
Might consider consuming the water at a different time than the food. Might also look at goat cheese, or milk as an alternative to the cow. Or being this is snack meal, throw all that in the blender with coconut and the water from it, a few other nuts, at least 7 different greens, a
20 species of plant leaf, mango and pineapple fruit
few flowers and maybe some cacao or jackfruit.
Dinner: 21 oz water 5.5 oz tilapia 1/2 medium lemon 2.5 cups collard greens 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Diner pretty good too, again there is a water intake toggle that can be honed, in order to somewhat throttle digestion. It is an important tool, especially for athletes. If the tilapia had a nutritionally diverse diet it’s a better fish. Also, most are blown away at how delicious a rich mix of functionally nutritious wild and select other greens can be. Cooked greens should be at least 50% of a good diet. In a diversity of more than 60, and 10% of it all fresh as appetizer and vitality system activator you have yourself a revolutionary diet in modern times.
Notes on future study
It’s a sweet daydream of mine, behind the shovel when my mind wanders off, with this “food art,” to work with some pro martial artists, and I wholeheartedly believe any athlete who comes here to the tropics and fully incorporates the complete findings of this biodiverse food study, is bound to have similar results as the 300+ we have observed over the last few years.
The Ultimate MMA Fighters’ & Diet Arts
Thinking in a no-limits fashion, with no vilification of any foods, but with the goal of having a calculated and well-budgeted ingredients list, organized by time of the meal, training sessions, and rest sessions; my thoughts on the diet, and the information and diet plans I am able to find, feel too loose. I find food combinations that I know to fight with each other in my MMA diet research, I find coffee mentioned frequently, I find a lot of repeat information, and seldom anything new. I feel there is too much comfort in modern society with the diet that we called traditional and balanced.
I do feel that diet plans are based on exercise and rest plans, which for an athlete comes first, then the diet should be made up accordingly. Plus with my nutritional diversity knowledge and experience, I wonder how many of these fighters and nutritionists are really getting to know their foods, or are their minds and bodies are constrained to the textbooks, and other modern recommendations that are mostly all inadequate or non-optimal for actual use and competitive application. Some people I am sure would say I am over-complicating things, and the modern balanced diet, and simply eating clean is all you need to focus on. I would say there is a lot that guy does not know.
Clearly today in the modern age we know that humans can live off of absolute garbage almost. We are amazing creatures. That kind of eating takes its toll and has a price, and eating the right way, if we know what that is complete, would in this same completeness produce benefits.
“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.”
― François de La Rochefoucauld
The art of eating, as a large puzzle piece to the art of fighting, has new horizons in this age of worldwide market availability.
We live in the perfect age to figure it all out. Now is the time! The ultimate mixed martial arts diet intelligence has not yet been fully painted.
I would not begin to think I could just draw it up in this article, but I do want to do is inspire and motivate, the continual formulation of it. Also, we are trying to grow a qualified team, if you have more interest in working with on this diet, enroll in a certification track.
I am working with a good team of guys here on the biodiverse food study in Panama, and we are concentrated heavily on diet study and what works best.
To give some basic questions for MMA fighters to chime in on:
- How many times a day do you eat and how far apart are those increments?
- How do you measure your calculated meal increments?
- Can you list what you may eat in a weak as far as a sum total foods, to include the separate species of, or sources of foods?
- Are you familiar with the chemical glyphosate? (honestly, before you looked it up, did you know?)
- Are you running on carbohydrates or fats?
- How many hours per day do you train heavily? Maybe even describe the workout.
- What bone breaks have you experienced? Other injuries?
- What kinds of benefits do you imagine you could get from widening the spectrum of nutrition that you ingest? What is the spectrum of species now? List them.
I myself started a log of my own MMA training and MMA diet adventures, a diet and fitness diary with pics, and all the important data, including blood-work, and basic vitals. I started training MMA again this past January (2018) motivated by finding some videos online of kiddo I care about smashing on the mat! I was so overjoyed I had to go roll it out.
Being that I am always on the road these days, I am trying to take some heavy looks at some good, new, diverse, performance supplements too.
Good luck with your training!
Your gym-mate and humble student of MMA & nutrition
The number one thing that would address with supplementation is electrolytes and hydration. Also a good oil.
So for today’s ranking we looked at the best hydrational supplements to have handy in the gym bag.
Let’s Check out the Best MMA Diet Rankings.
MMA DIET RANKINGS
MMA DIET BENEFITS
Implementation of a 14-week training program resulted in advantageous changes in participants’ body composition, as well as improvement in the upper limb anaerobic peak power and aerobic fitness of the MMA athletes. [1]
Mental and facial language is learned at a whole new level inside the build-to and face-off times in the ring. [2]
MMA DIET SIDE EFFECTS
MMA fighters experience possibly the worst of all injuries in combat sports. [x]
Weight cutting concerns have been evaluated to cause serious injury and kidney damage. [x,x,x]
Water diversity, dynamics and proper salt intake can really help with this.
MMA DIET EXPERIENCE
We do this.
MMA DIET DISCUSSION
The number one thing is hydration today. The modern diet does lack protein and calcium and al everything really but people are answering to that with the best performance supplements man has ever had.
At the end of the day NDdiet formulas are going to be the best performance diet and best MMA diet.
MMA DIET FAQ
Q. What nutrient groups should I focus on the most?
A. To start calcium, bone, and joint stuff, then move into hydrational elements, making sure you have a diverse amount of good well-sourced waters coming in, electro lights and amino acids, make sure you are getting sufficient nutrition.
I recommend next a protein and a glutamine supplement and or nutritional focus. See the proper way to take supplements.
Next, I really recommend the best focus supplement or even better all-natural permaculture-based nutritional plan.
Q. Where can I find this “permaculture?”
A. You may not have heard the term but its a big one. Look it up I am sure there is one in your area, if not far away. Inherently these permanent -culture installations are some of the happiest, most balanced most willing to get their produce-to-you people ever. They likely can also grow on request.
Do you really like how this sounds? You can be the nutritional DJ for your gym, make a little money and have the best full-coverage nutrition around you. All you need is the permaculturist(s).
Q. What is the best grocery store stuff I can get now and make the best MMA diet with that?
Q. What kinds of things would make the best MMA diet better?
A. Great question. Kombucha is one thing that would make the best MMA diet better by enhancing the nutrient uptake from the existing diet plan and maybe even allowing for the expansion of it.
The best hydrational supplements really do help, they also keep the immune system running well and hydration is vital to life, performance, and recovery. Whatever is not sufficiently hydrated will not perform, it will age, it may die and you will not get the results you want. This goes from the cellular to the whole muscle to the whole body.
MMA training is some of the hardest training which means heavy depletion.

Best Water Filter Rankings, Benefits, Side Effects & Experience
Water is one of the most important resources for all life. Without it, we don’t exist. If a once-living being loses all water, it is dead, biologically speaking at least it is in a state of decomposition. Water quality for the living is #1 for the home, so make sure to get the best water filter for you and your loved ones!
The U.S. and many other centrally distributed, large city water plants around the world, have been tested to show some alarming substances. As the word of this and the knowledge about city water contamination spreads, people become more and more interested in the very important endeavor of finding a way to clean that up.
I want to clean it up for myself too and convey the message to loved ones about how important the water we consume is, which includes a few recommended home water solutions.
The most recent article growth is rooted in the AquaTrue Countertop Water Purification Station. Well, that and..
Water is #1
Just like with the Nutritional Diversity Diet, there is a sourcing issue, and if we can get a great source there is no need for costly devices, many times great sources come by delivery in large 5-gallon plastic containers. We just hope no chemicals from the plastics are released as they get hot in the transport trucks.
Water in U.S. homes and homes around the world has turned out to be at many times contaminated, with serious contaminants such as heavy metals, microfiber
plastics, harsh chemicals, even pharmaceuticals, and caustic sediment matter.
The number one thing to health is water, and there must be some things residents can do to clean it up for themselves and for their loved ones.
“Built into my world of convenience, I stand for the city water service to put a high amount of chlorine in the water for sanitary purposes which then goes into and all over my body each day.
I have to get to work and do some meaningless task, and I don’t have time to read this piece on water. I need to get ready and jump in my shower that kills my skin each day, and I go on day in and day out ignoring the fact that I drink chemicals I can smell coming from the top of my glass.
Could the chemicals themselves have something to do with the lackadaisical manner in which I let myself consume poisons both from my tap and my local grocer?”
It may seem like a far-fetched question, or an over-exaggeration of a simple sanitary function until Pharmaceutical substances were found in tests done by the United States Environmental Protection Agency that revealed in all 50 samples of the study, conducted across each of the 50 states existed positive results for several drugs.
Most of the medications discovered there lower blood pressure, except for Carbamazepine which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.
It is arguable whether high blood pressure is indicative of health risk, everyone who exercises maintains a high-pressure accepting system because of the intensely high blood pressure they experience during their times of exercise. It is also arguable that lowering blood pressure with pharmaceuticals is much like sedating people, which technically one could consider it to do.
For the number #1 resource of my family; I would like to improve the water quality in my life and in the lives of those I love. Let’s check out the top ten best water filters.
WATER FILTER RANKINGS
tba
WATER FILTER BENEFITS
Clean water. No toxicity and bleach.
WATER FILTER SIDE EFFECTS
A little work and investment.
There have been cases where bacteria build-in filters. In a clean system, with no outside contamination, this could be a good thing. [x]
Toxic algae growth had “tap water banned” this past 2017 in Toledo Ohio. [NYT]
WATER FILTER EXPERIENCE
You may hear terms “reverse osmosis, multi-staged,” and things like “xxPSI, “xPVC,” but don’t worry getting someone to help you with this stuff should be easy, thanks to our world of convenience where most people don’t do anything for themselves, most fellas, who are really poor will know their way around these terms and need $20 to help fit you out with something. You know he helps you, you help him. There we go…. now we are moving….
For drinking, it is recommended as the best water filter, that the gravity fed, counter-top type be used. They are a little more in price as the other option of an in-line filter but historically they produce the cleanest filtered drinking water when it comes to dealing with the city supply as the water source. I myself use both, the inline and the gravity, why not. In fact, I also use Ozone water treatment on about 35-65% of the water I drink.
The field installs the best water filter system inline style, traditionally is not that complicated and usually a lot cheaper to purchase or create.
A series of sealed tanks can be set up one with rock, one with sand, one with charcoal even, on to the final holding tank where water draws into the final delivery system. Sometimes before the tap will put a few string filters which usually do good to pick up the micro sediment stuff if at all passes, whereas you can inspect these easily and know exactly what is coming through the main filtration set up. If your system is spring water, or roof collected, a little bit of the sediment may even be good for you.
Whatever which way, it is time to stop ingesting the chemicals primarily chlorine and fluoride that seem to be present in most city water supplies. I would like to stop showering with them too.
There has been one product that has stood above the rest in the removal of the chemicals and that is the gravity-fed, Big Berkey Water Purification countertop system with fluoride filter add-on. Next in this counter-top gravity line of hot stuff I recommend is the Nikken PiWater system. I work with both of these systems, and the primary differences are Nikken’s attempt to imitate a prime water structure using handpicked elements and information from around the world in a plastic case that allows light to enter, whereas the Big Berkey is stainless steel in construction, and is the United States’ most popular solution. Depending on what divine water information you may be looking at, in wanting to work on your water more you can juggle the two or do like me and get one for home, and one for office.
Also cheaply done, is a multi-stage inline system, that filters water for the entire home, water going into toilets, showers, air coolers, will all be cleaner with one of these. I say for around $250-$850 installed go ahead and hook the house or apartment up with one. Then there is the under-the-sink inline system, which works for a few taps that people want to get cleaner water from without waiting for it to cycle through the countertop gravity filters. Some companies make a nice shower filter that installs right at the shower line, stays there in line and filters water from the shower.
Water Ionizer is what many medical patients prefer and using this device which is rather expensive the user can make both more acidic and more alkaline water adjustable to their preference and based on their supply. There is a lot of arguing about this but ionic charges likely do play some part.
Then, of course, the frontier way to know your good is to boil the water. Some say distilled is the way to do it, that is all a whole other conversation, very deeply described in the complete ND Diet text. I have seen some permaculturists throw a rock or two or a few into the pot while cooking water, believing that it helps re-mineralize it, especially when rain collects.
Spring mear a city or industry is also likely contaminated I know arsenic was present in underground desert aquifers where I am from, there have been brow-raising radiation tests there also. In a place where much of the National Weapons developments and tests are made to include the first nuclear bomb building, where the dream team of scientists operated, I guess this should not be so shocking.
All of these home water solutions are better than nothing, with your city water supply. Ultimately another source would be better here companies have started selling the large 5-gallon waters harvested from spring sites for $5.oo, and many people pay that, it is good business. The city water supply is the one that most needs home water treatment. Certain U.S. city water taps have been found from toxic to flammable and I can only imagine what the effects must be like sitting down here in pretty Panama, where I still have to go through the motions to get good clean water in my cup. Anything centrally distributed like this is inherently open to being poisoned and hurting a lot of people.
Certain individuals myself included notice, and believe in the science class idea that chemical separation and evaporation of a lesser substance will take place in an open container. Refrigeration, cold, or heat may play their part if they exist but over time in any condition, the lesser substance should move to the top, and be the first to evaporate.
We used to fill glass bottles with water and place them in the sun for a bit, then move them to the fridge hoping that this process would be quickened. Sun does clean the water. After a day of hard sun here in Bocas del Toro, Panama, the nice gulf outside our study center
Along the way, I met a man who explained to me that he would put a lemon, a lime, a leaf of mint, and a quartz crystal into a glass picture and place in the sun. He said with honesty that he found it to be more fulfilling water. Low and behold, I found a ton of research to support this idea. There is even internal UV light featuring products advertised, in the water purification market.
Distillation is a heavily debated process regarding drinking water, but it is pure water technically. Andrew Norton Webber, says distilled water has helped him retain several youthful qualities and achieve health from an episode of sickness, and many others agree. Certain schools of thought caution that the mineral-less water may help remove toxins, but help remove from the body some vital elements also. Rainwater also gets the mineral leaching criticism, and over time drinking from a rainwater tank, and not entering the sea, one could start to feel this maybe, although it could be something else.
In my humble experience, my best water days were some from mountain spring, some from rain collection, some distilled and all filtered to some degree, and many servings of water treated with many different treatments, such as adding a few orange slices.
Most water recommends in our mainstream education recommend far too little water consumption, while our military training is more correct, and that water up, never have yellow coming out.
Nutritional Diversity, key principles are my guiding light in this water respect also, and that is; diversity of the best sources and structures available is best for optimal human performance.
A Deeper Look Into Water: Intro to Water Physics & Metaphysics
Somewhere in this crazy complex journey (I fail as of now to bang out on the keys in a complete story) of mine, I found the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who photographed flash-frozen water crystal structures, and spawned the practice of thanking, playing music for and praying to water. Thank your water. I thank you. If you look at this research you will too. If you think about this long and hard, realizing that we ourselves are three-fourths water, and the plant’s and living essences around us all have one thing in common and that is water; you too will see from the good doctor’s very recent research, that an attitude of gratitude will overcome most of the issue.
While Maseru’s critiques are plenty-full, anyone who has been around the snow has seen these shapes before, even if their skepticism is out of balance with trying to hear about Mr. Emoto’s hippy ideas. Just listen to nature, ask God, and try it out see if it helps you to feel differently.
Mr. Emoto offers a highly duplicated on Youtube way to find the same type of results using some damp rice in three different jars treating one harshly and writing the word hate on the glass with a Sharpie marker, the next in a different area of your space write love, and treat it each morning with a hug and a kiss, the third doesn’t write anything, don’t pay it any mind, ever. This particular experiment reveals each time reflectively a terrible moldy cancer on the ignored, and slight moldy cancer on the hated and the best condition on the loved. Obviously make sure all the rice is the same, and clean and the jars are clean..
WATER FILTER DISCUSSION
Here we discuss the best water supply and the best water filter units and what matters to the best water filter consumers.
Too many harmful chemicals have been found to exist in, and likely do exist right now in water that you drink and shower with every day. Any damage caused by this stuff is going to need to be repaired and that energy is going to come off your game-time peak performance.
Chemical-free was the number one member group survey benefit from these filters, chemical-free water was also the number one desired benefit from ND information.
Performance and health upgrade number one – the best water filter that, takes out chemicals, lead, and plastic microfibers.
Lead and pharmaceuticals have no place in our bodies, and they are something to deal with physiologically, neurologically, and spiritually. To have the organic experience we were destined to have we must clean up the toxic water that dulls and detracts from our lives.
This is the starting place for upgrading health in family life, and we wanted to make sure to get products ranked families can afford. The rankings did conclude with a full spectrum of price ranges.
Pure water is priceless.
WATER FILTER FAQ
[contact-form-7 id=”7859″ title=”New Question”]
Q. Does it make sense to use the two best water filter systems?
A. Definitely. I use my own sand filters out in the line before I receive it into the house where I have the I Spring 6 Stage and then a couple of different countertop devices. Water diversity is best. I saw a diverse set of treatments is also smart. We do a rock soup, ozone, distilled, and a “life water” process too.
Q. What is the best way to filter tap water?
A. The best singular way is debatable but we can be sure a diversity of great water sources is best. Distilled, carbon-filtered, or reverse osmosis are the most popular ways people purify or filter tap water. UV light boxes and O3gas treatments are other ways.
This article has covered both reverse osmosis and carbon filtered. There are links below in ‘related material’ for other purification methods.
Q. Do the best water filter systems always work?
A. No. If they are not cleaned that becomes more of a danger than a help. Clean and care for gear. Only have the gear you need. Drink water diversity.
WATER FILTER RECAP
City water is the worst. There are things we can do to clean it up for our loved ones and that is what we should do.
Just give me the best water filter, please.
