For the last couple of years I've been drinking two pots of coffee *most* days. When questioned about my coffee habits I would respond that there are polyphenols Bla. Bla... Bla. I took a few days off and the deteriorating control of my emotions was very apparent. I decided to take Beethoven's daily consumption as a guideline for mine (for a while). He would count out 60 beans into his grinder, and that was his daily consumption (didn't say how much water he used or how big his cup was). My daily consumption has been 240 beans (60 beans is approximately 1/8th cup of whole beans). With my discovery of polyphenols some years ago there has been an influx of more varied and seasonal vegetables into my regular diet, though there were plenty before, I'm contending that the polyphenols in my coffee consumption might not play so big a part as the higher quantity of caffeine's detrimental effects on my nervous system. What I want to know (that I don't find in anyone's research) is "what" extra food sources do aboriginal peoples living in closed groups consume to achieve the 150 times higher fiber and consequently higher microbiome populations than the "civilized" high population counterparts? I'm presuming that they would simply eat non-nutrient dense plant fiber from their immediate vicinity to keep something on their stomach when they felt like "the rumbly tums" were overwhelming. Having fasted (intermittent and long fasting up to 42 days) and understand that the further from a meal the less intense is the desire to eat, I also know from living in the mountains with no modern conveniences for years at a time my body "directs" my mind to serve itself a few accustomed items much the same as a herd of deer would pick and choose as they ate their way through the forest. Is this because of a desire to keep the stomach doing something, biding time till better nutrition happens along or because the gut microbiome sends a shopping list to the brain when it finds itself in contact with what it needs no matter how unaccustomed it is to "regular" diet? Or both? I haven't tested the population of my microbiome, but letting my instincts decide what to wash and how thorough; as example: leaving the peels and rinds on most edibles that usually get thrown away, such as eating the whole cauliflower leaves, stem and all; the whole celery stalk with the root and greens; the whole orange/ lemon/ lime. Like eating cacao raw and by itself is quite bitter, yet I found taking it in small amounts got me used to the taste of the cacao and I don't taste the bitterness as much; the rind of citrus fruits is only bitter for a while. Mostly I learned to control my emotions by finding a calm place in my mind which always causes my chest to pull air down into my lower abdomen. I've done this for as long as I can remember. Being born in a part of the world where nature holds sway (draw an X across the province of British Columbia and the lines converge just above where I landed on the planet), we ate what was at hand in the 50's, pesticides and teflon weren't so prevalent even in the more populated places, from this I have thought my in-susceptibility to disease and idealisms derived. It might have been a strong microbiome that did the trick and I'm just along for the ride. I enjoy your content and find it thought provoking. Thank you so much!
Unless you were consuming other sources of caffeine, the "deteriorating control of my emotions" was almost certainly due to withdrawal. I'm just sayin', throwin' that idea out there, no disrespect. All the rest of the comment you posted is also very interesting, especially the part about the consumption of the leaves and stems of cauliflower. Hmmm...🤔 Keep on living healthily, I wish you all the best. Peace.
@@StraitjacketFitness On the money with the coffee diag. I was in denial about "the shakes" and not being able to get to sleep till late at night. Interesting side effect, though, not going to the store for coffee as often. The citrus peels are excellent for that little bit of help we all need for rebuilding collagen for those pesky stem cells to take root in. A little dirt in food doesn't hurt anything, too much dirt can give us aniema, not enough depletes a food source for the biome.
Yes the response to caffeine is pretty individual. There are many sources of polyphenols and definitely all healthy people don't drink coffee. Some people thrive without coffee and crash with it. So it comes down to individuality. I think they had a better microbiome because they were not eating that much s*t. that modern people eat and that kills of some good bacteria. They also had way less meat available. When you change your diet, your gut microbiome adapts to be efficient in digesting those nutrients. If you eat a lot of vegetables and legumes (more fiber), there's more bacteria that utilizes fiber. If you don't get fiber, they die off because they are also fed from fiber. Peels of fruits are very good source of pectin (especially apple and pear) if they're organic and washed. You can also increase the pectin content by warming them up a little bit. Something I recently learned when I was googling the benefits of oven-baked apples- . Thanks for the comment and sharing your experiences. Always nice to hear these stories! Hope to see you again in the comments section.
So theres this theory that the reason why period's are so bad for women and causes mood swings is because of sugar withdrawal? im curious bc im not female if you would attest to say thats true? allegedly the reasoning thats rumoured is that either prior? or exactly like right before? before they start their cycle they burn up all through their glucose stores when they have their period? would you say thats true? and is that technically true then that if people store their nutrients in their glucose stores, then when they have their period, they burn through all their nutriens then? because those are stored in the glucose? and thats another reason why its so much of a pain? or is that just the electrolytes? idk just thought its worth sharing
Thank you for the question. Glucose is all over the body; you can't burn off glucose with period. Period is just the (extra) lining of the uterus bleeding off because the woman did not get pregnant (so it's not needed anymore). It builds back up in the next cycle. The period is a natural and healthy part of a woman's health. Glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver and as triglycerides to the body fat. When you eat, you're always filling up the stores (taken the food has carbs) Period pain is typically caused by the contradiction of the uterus and the higher levels of prostaglandins. women lose some nutrients during the period, mainly iron and ferritin. But they can be replenished with supplements.

@@StraitjacketFitness good point. Unless he meant that went he came off from coffee, he was able to be calmer again? I am not sure.
I wish I had known

This is a great video ! What do you think about Inulin for gut health?
Happy to hear you found it helpful! I read one review on it, they did not find significant benefits.
But if it makes your gut feel good then why not :)
