Understanding and Meeting Your Body’s Nutritional Needs“You need to learn to recognize what your body needs at any given time. This becomes easier if your basic diet looks roughly like the one described above: a moderately calorie-restricted diet, a fairly protein-rich diet with high-quality proteins such as eggs, milk, and leafy greens, as well as fresh fruit or vegetables daily.” – Nutrition For Women |
Eating Patterns: Combining Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrates“Eat frequently and combine protein, fat, and carbohydrates at the same time, for example, an egg and an orange or a carrot with cheese. Fruit is the best carbohydrate source; avoid raw starches like nuts.” – Nutrition For Women |
Essential Amino Acids and the Global Nutrition Issue“What seems to be essential is the carbon backbone of the essential amino acids. If the diet provides these along with other nutrients, protein in the diet no longer appears to be so indispensable. If fruits and vegetables can be found that contain these substances, the global nutrition problem could be easily solved.” – Nutrition For Women |
Lifestyle Choices to Slow Aging and Extend Lifespan“Altitude and a milk-based diet are obviously two important thermogenic factors that slow the accumulation of harmful adaptations, but there are many other modifiable factors that could extend lifespan even more. It is important to reduce pro-inflammatory factors, and personal choices can make a big difference – for example, choosing easily digestible foods to reduce endotoxin; avoiding polyunsaturated fatty acids that disrupt cellular respiration and form pro-inflammatory prostaglandins; avoiding antioxidant supplements that create a reductive excess; and choosing foods that contain anti-inflammatory thermogenic compounds, such as citrus fruits with their high flavonoid content that supports cellular respiration functions.” November 2020 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
Factors for Healthier Pregnancies and a Better Postpartum Period“The most important factors that can be optimized with available resources. Healthier pregnancies lead to a healthier and happier life after birth. These factors would include sunlight, vitamin D, milk, cheese, eggs, fruit and well-cooked vegetables, fiber-rich foods, as well as optimizing thyroid function and pregnenolone and progesterone (which support mitochondrial function and protect against aldosterone, parathyroid hormone, excess serotonin, CRK, and cortisol, and also increase allopregnanolone) – and, if necessary, the use of the safest anti-inflammatory and anti-serotonergic medications such as aspirin and cyproheptadine.” May 2019 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
Diastolic Heart Failure: A Common Age-Related Condition“The diastolic, relaxed phase of the heart contraction cycle often fails under stress or with age – even in fruit flies. The heart stiffens and no longer fills completely, so it pumps less blood with each beat.” March 2018 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
The Flavonoid Dilemma: Antioxidants or Prooxidants?“Several flavonoids from fruits and vegetables (rutin, naringenin, naringin, hesperetin, apigenin, fisetin, luteolin, quercetin, curcumin) have a catalytic prooxidant effect, similar to that of vitamin C and aspirin.” January 2017 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
Defense Mechanisms Against Nitric Oxide: The Nutritional Approach“The most important defense mechanisms against nitric oxide include progesterone, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin A, niacinamide, coffee, aspirin, as well as foods containing flavonoids, terpenoids, polyphenols, and sterols. Milk from grass-fed cows contains a variety of polyphenols. Citrus fruits, many tropical fruits (e.g., guavas, longans, and lychees), and cooked mushrooms are good sources of apigenin, naringenin, and related substances.” January 2016 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
Nutritional Alternatives Before Considering Cytomel Supplementation“Before using a Cytomel (T3) supplement, it might be possible to solve the problem with diet alone. A piece of fruit or a glass of juice or milk between meals and sufficient animal protein (or potato protein) in the diet are sometimes enough for the liver to produce the hormone.” – Generative Energy Restoring The Wholeness Of Life |
Dietary Practices to Minimize Cortisol Production“Additional dietary practices can minimize our cortisol production (e.g., combining fruit and protein, since protein-rich foods lower blood sugar and stimulate cortisol release).” October 1990 – Ray Peats Newsletter |
