Best Mango Ranking, Benefits, Side Effects & Experience
The best mango tree produces a tropical fruit, loved by most, worshiped by some and it has very delicious and nutritious reasons for that!
Known as the “King of Fruits,” let me tell you first hand we stock this one at the castle because of her incredible spread of nutrition and performance enhancement.
A juicy drupe belonging to the genus Mangifera, a genus of flowering plants in the cashew family, Anacardiaceae, contains approximately 69 species, with the best-known being the common (Mangifera indica).
This fruit is native to South Asia and is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines, and the national tree of Bangladesh – whose national fruit is the best jackfruit.
I love the little kings, they are excellent dietary fiber, likely the most excellent I myself have ever consumed.
Pigging out on three to six mangoes can relieve the bowels, completely. Fiber is such a huge focus for the Nutritional Diversity diet, and mango really is of the best dietary fiber sources.
I eat the leaves almost every day, and here in Panama, I can find those leaves around towns and the city no problem if I am in one.
When the best mango fruits are in season I am sure to run around indulging all season long! The strongest season here I usually get kingly starts about now as I edit this one mid-March. Mid-April through mid-May they will be dumping!
It has become my healthiest time of the year when I am not near the beloved jackfruit that is.
In Tamil Nadu, the mango is referred to as one of the three ‘royal fruits,’ along with banana and jackfruit, for their sweetness and flavor. This triad of fruits is referred to as ma-pala-vazhai.
I note it as a royal relative; in my carefully chosen arsenal of species, included in my tropical island initial Nutritional Diversity selections. Royal, brain food, and tropical island are all some of my favorite phrases, and I am lucky that they are all parts of my life.
The Sanskrit Goddess Ambika, is depicted in the ‘Ellora Caves,’ as sitting under a Mango tree. In other works of sculpture, she has depicted holding, on one hand, one mango and one mango branch, on the other hand. In the remaining two of Ambika’s four arms, she holds her two sons in one, and in the other rein.
The mango seems to be represented as something equally important as two sons, on one hand, the mango branch taking up a full of another hand could represent the power of mango leaf or wood, or who knows.
I would like to think the rein represents discipline, and ‘having the reins on things.”
Galla hormone production in the brain is supported by mango, it is a brain fruit, and this is why I have chosen it as a Nutritional Diversity original 30 – the first 30 plant species written about on NutritionalDiversity.com.
Other reasons for this priority selection are its alkaline and anti-cancer properties (cancer is one of today’s leading health afflictions), effective and well study against several of the most common cancers.
Mango leaves and trees are great members of the farm, providing great cover, and aroma, and we use the baby leaves in our green smoothies, often.
The mango peel is also rich in phytonutrients, such as the pigment antioxidants like carotenoids and polyphenols, so after you create your super solid snack with mango, save the peel for a face wipe (see ‘topical application’ below) or include it in a later day smoothie. These peels also work great for making fertilizers and composts.
Mango contains enzymes that help in breaking down protein, including high levels of glutamine acids. The fibrous nature of mango helps in digestion and elimination. It is rich in pre-biotic dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and good sugars for blood-building and nutrient uptake.
I really like mango’s a lot a few times in the week because they are brain food, they really activate the senses, especially while in the meditative or training-meditative zone.
It is even said that mangoes stimulate or strengthen the effects of other neurologically activating foods. So those of you advanced in Nutritional Diversity Science who are starting to narrow more effective shakes and come up with more dynamic combinations, remember mangoes and brain-stimulating fruits.
Take mango with other certain herbal supplements, and while you study, and want to hone your focus.
Mango Nutrition
Some say a mango a day keeps the doctor away. I say a mango, plus an avocado, and a variety of 60 more food species a.k.a., a Nutritional Diversity, each day to keep the doctor very far away, and in an optimal human state – human optimization.
Like oranges, mangos go great as a mid-gym snack, or half at mid-workout and the other half after to help healthy vitamin uptake from other foods and supplements and to give the system a nice vitamin c boost.
This vitamin c consumption during training times also helps fight off infectious things and viruses in the gyms or from the team such and cases of flu and staff infections.
Mango studies have found that the fruit is rich in tartaric acid, malic acid, and traces of citric acid that primarily help in maintaining the alkali reserve of the body.
Alkalinity could* be the main health factor in humans.
Interesting:
Professor Ehrett died a young death by head trauma in 1922, his popular lecture on a Mucesless Diet System of Eating Your Way Back to Health, which was published decades later, focuses on acids that convert to alkaline in the body and maintaining a sufficient level of alkalinity as the reining factor over human health and against human illness.
I myself, do not agree, with Ehrett’s entire published lectures under this title. However, on the main point, I do agree with alkalinity being a king factor over human health, and mucus being a king factor in unhealth.
✵ Nutritional Diversifists will inherently address this very element of alkalinity well, at least better than any other diet planning to date will.
✵ Following the Nutritional Diversity complete regimen delivers a perfect ph, and alkaline balance to the human system, more so than any other popular modern diet by tenfold.
✵ Those of you reading only for nutritional information regarding the mango, enjoy knowing that mango is an alkalinity creation food in the body.
I try to eat at least one king fruit a day, but that is easy for me here in paradise.

MANGO BENEFITS
Mango plants produce fleshy stone fruits rich in phytochemicals with an undisputed nutritional value for their high content of polyphenolics and vitamins. This review provides an overview of the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties of mango, a fruit that should be included in everyone’s diet for its multifaceted biochemical actions and health-enhancing properties. [1]
Mango fruit has a high nutritional value and health benefits due to its important components. [2] A cool study where phytonutrients are mapped to color.
In vitro testing of mango fruit snack bars, pointed at fermentation and gastronomical digestive super results. [3]
Antidiabetic and blood leveling effects of the fruit are significant. [4]
It was reported that honey bees (Apis spp.) and flies (Musca domestica and Chrysomya megacephala) were responsible for successful pollination hence good mango production in Taiwan. In India, reared Lucilia sp. (Calliphoridae) and Sarcophaga sp. (Sarcophagidae) flies in their attempt to increase the abundance of pollinators in a mango orchard.
These flies were supplemented with fish or mutton pieces in mesh bags hung on the lower branches of mango trees. Meanwhile, Apis cerana was kept for pollination of mango flowers in addition to producing honey in a small-scale industry in Thailand. [5,6]
Topical nutrition products with mango, logical best cocoa butter or coconut oil substitute skincare products that are effective and they could also help small families to form small businesses with homemade products and get out of poverty. [7]
MANGO SIDE EFFECTS
We have munched tons of mangos and lived under the trees and experienced no side effects, other than great health and tons of energy.
MANGO EXPERIENCE
Mangos and their leaves are incredible stomach nutrition, too good to pass up, also because they are a really good help to pass on; all the other foods you eat in your Nutritional Diversity, both in uptake and in the movement towards the exit. Both of these two factors are very important to overall performance.
Mangos and their leaves aid the health of the stomach track in so many ways, preventing cancer’s alkalizing the system, and providing the right ingredients to keep steady bowel flow, a key to human health.
Mango Leaves
In India, they say that ‘Aam ke patte’ (Hindi) can bid adieu to many sicknesses. This is a reference to mango leaves dried and crushed into powder. The leaves of the Mango tree should not be ignored.
Mango leaves contain tannin, alkaloids, glycoside, steroids, triterpenoids, saponins, mangiferin, phenolic, and flavonoid components.
In addition, mango leaves have antimicrobial properties that can be used as a functional food. Mango leaves also can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Anthocyanin content in mango leaves is expressed as a character in red, purple, and blue. This is the color spectrum I harvest for smoothies, stir-fries, and salads.
The passage in the bible, about knowing if a tree is good by its fruits, is very true for the mango tree, as its fruits are delicious, and the entire tree is a powerful health benefit to humans, permacultures, and gardens everywhere.
MANGO DISCUSSION
Antioxidants like quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid, and methyl gallate present in mango protect the body against cancers of the colon, prostate, breast, and even leukemia.
Vitamin B-6 or pyridoxine is required for GABA hormone production within the brain. It also controls homocysteine levels within the blood, which may otherwise be harmful to blood vessels resulting in coronary artery disease (CAD), and stroke. Mango has a low glycemic index (41-60) so going a little overboard will not increase your sugar levels.
So many recommend a tea made with the leaves, and while the flavor is great of this tea I do not recommend tea making, and if tea making is practiced possibly not drinking the liquid while it is hot should be employed.
I say take some green and the red baby mango leaves for 5% of a nice salad, and some more baby leaves and one adult, or a portion of one adult leaf for 5% of a nice smoothie.
This mango and mango leaf, soak or tea is said to treat a wide variety of ailments, many related to blood sugars.
Treating Diabetes (contain tannins and anthocyanins)
Mango tree leaves contain tannins and anthocyanins, which help to treat diabetes early. Mango leaves tea, or two-day soak, or blended up raw (best), is very good for helping to treat diabetic angiopathy and diabetic retinopathy. It also helps to treat hyperglycemia. The leaves contain a compound called taraxerol-3beta, and the ethyl acetate extract that has a synergy with insulin and stimulates the synthesis of glycogen, balancing out and optimizing the blood.
Hypertension & Nervousness
Mango leaves have been very proven as a home remedy for nervousness, even treating small veins, varicose veins, and the vascular system and related dysfunctions that can underline these issues. For other reasons too, in the mango brain stimulus, it has been considered a mood booster and even an aphrodisiac.
Topical Application / Topical Nutrition
Give skin a vita-topical boost while also naturally cleaning the pores of dirt that can cause acne. Better than any store-bought stuff with 20 cancer-causing chemicals in it, Mango is all you need to balance out the skin, but this with jackfruit, coconut, and avocado rubbed on regularly and you should have the skin of Gods.
Considering that the skin is a large organ and bleach and fluoridated water showers or hard water showers do very visible damage, an all-natural compound of complex phytonutrients such as the mango can only be a good thing.
Mango Permaculture
Mango Trees can be very productive if fertilized, loved, and placed in the right spot.
Mango trees grow to 35–40 m (115–131 ft) tall, with a crown radius of 10 m (33 ft). The trees are long-lived, with some specimens that still fruit after 300 years
Until the next update. I am going to say to take a mango, a mango seed, and maybe a mango branch if you are daring, and get it better than any article will give it to you! Maybe get a couple of each of those items so you can really conduct your experiment…. 🙂
Experimenting …
I recently hit one of two mango trees I have on the south side of the house, with a bag of beach sand. The ginger planted at the base of the tree didn’t like it so much and turned light tan at the ends of the leaves, but the Mango tree loved it and caught up to a long time taller other mango trees with the shoots that tree did not get at that time, whereas they mostly develop new stages together.
Mango trees are known to be strong growers, that can pretty much grow anywhere down here.
A friend and wood artist of mine Richard, from Boston, says he loves to work mango wood, that it is beautiful and the smell of burning is “something else!”

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.

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.

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.

Special Elements
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.
