New Leaf Wellness Podcast

Air and KP from New Leaf Wellness Resort in Thailand discuss the five top myths surrounding fructose, juicing and eating fruit in this podcast.

Myth 1: 

All Fructose Is Created Equal

While Fructose is in natural and processed foods, each type's amount will vary significantly. For example, while a piece of fruit may contain up to 10-20g of Fructose, a soda may contain up to 40g or more. It is essential to note the difference between natural and processed sources of Fructose, as this can impact your health differently.

Myth 2: 

Fructose Is Bad for You

While high levels of Fructose can harm your health, moderate levels are not necessarily unhealthy. Moderate amounts of Fructose can provide your body with essential nutrients and vitamins while still providing a source of fuel. Thus, it's vital to differentiate between low and high-fructose foods when making dietary decisions.

A juice fast or diet can be very rewarding. However, be careful with how much fruit you use in each juice or smoothie. At New Leaf Detox Resort, we combine fruits with vegetables, filtered water and coconut water. We minimise the amount of fruit and blend, so it is a tasty, nutritious meal with enough calories to complete the daily programme.

Myth 3: 

Fructose Causes Diabetes

Studies have shown that eating excessive sugar (regardless of which type) can increase the risk of developing diabetes. However, research has not been able to link fructose consumption to diabetes alone conclusively.

Myth 4: 

Fructose Is Only Found in Sweets

While it is true that sweets like candy and soda are full of high amounts of Fructose, it's also important to remember that this type of sugar occurs naturally in some fruits. Eating even low-fructose fruits such as apples or oranges can provide your body with valuable nutrients and vitamins while still providing a source of fuel. Beware of candies that contain High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). They can be highly damaging, especially to children and young developing bodies.

Myth 5:

All Fruits Contain High Levels of Fructose

Not all fruits are created equal regarding the amount of Fructose they contain. As mentioned, low-fructose fruits such as apples and oranges typically have significantly lower fructose levels than their sweeter counterparts, like bananas or grapes. Of course, you can enjoy these fruits in moderation. However, it's essential to keep track of the amount of Fructose you consume to maintain healthy levels for your body.

In this video Air and KP discuss the top 5 weight loss myths.

Myth #1:
A Calorie is a Calorie
The adage "Calories in, Calories out" If you burn more calories than you consume, you'll lose weight. Incorrect!

While maintaining an energy balance is vital to losing weight, not all calories are the same.

Your body reacts differently to various types of nutrients, such as proteins, carbs, fats, and different kinds of fibres. For example, consuming highly refined carbs, such as white bread, sugar or pasta, can lead to insulin resistance and weight gain. Instead, focus on eating real food such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods provide the nutrients to keep you full longer, reducing caloric intake.

Myth #2:
Carbs Are Bad for You
Regarding weight loss, carbohydrates are often demonised as the food group that is the number one cause of weight gain. However, the truth is that carbs are an essential part of a healthy diet. The problem is not carbs per se but the carbs that people consume, such as refined carbs with empty calories and minimal nutritional value. Add carbs like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your diet.

Myth #3:
Skipping Meals Helps You Lose Weight
Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can cause weight gain instead of weight loss. Your metabolism slows down when you don't consume anything for an extended period, so the fat-burning process slows down too. Additionally, when you skip meals, you tend to overeat later to compensate for the missed meal, negating any potential benefits of cutting it. Instead, focus on eating three balanced meals and two healthy snacks daily to keep your metabolism functioning effectively.

Myth #4:
Supplements Can Help You Lose Weight
The supplement industry thrives on the promise that it can help with weight loss by boosting your metabolism and curbing your appetite. Unfortunately, most of these supplements tend to be ineffective or even harmful. Some supplements that cause rapid weight loss can also lead to the loss of muscle mass and harm to your vital organs. It's important to remember that a healthy and sustainable weight loss journey is more about making healthy lifestyle choices than popping pills.

Myth #5:
Exercise is All You Need to Lose Weight
While exercise is essential to stay healthy, weight loss requires consuming fewer calories than you burn. Although regular exercise can help you increase your muscle mass and reduce your body fat, without paying attention to your diet, it can be challenging to lose weight. Try incorporating cardio and strength training into your routine, and focus on eating whole, nutritious foods that fuel your body's needs.

Conclusion:
Weight loss can be challenging at the best times, and the unnecessary and often counterproductive myths attached can make the process much harder. The most important thing is approaching weight loss with a well-informed, sustainable plan rather than following harmful fads. Armed with the facts and the right tools, you can achieve your weight goals without getting bogged down in often confusing myths.

September 2021 was the original YouTube version of this podcast. January 2022, this remixed audio version was released. At that time of the original recording, there was a lot of censorship of alternative options for health. While this isn't anti-science, it offers a natural way to help your body protect itself and assist in faster recovery.

In this Podcast, Air and KP discuss five natural immune boosters everyone should consider.

The immune system fights disease, infections and viruses, and it's the frontline defence. A good, strong and healthy immune system means you will either not get sick so quickly. If you do fall ill, you will recover faster.

1. Vitamin A
2. Vitamin D3
3. Vitamin C
4. Zinc
5. Turmeric

Air breaks down the benefits of each. What foods you can get the most help from, and supplements you can use.
