For Everyone Especially Vata Types
Why Food Nutrition Needs Extra Attention For Vata Types and Elderly People:
Their challenge:
– Poor absorption (weak digestion)
– Irregular eating (skip nutrients)
– High stress (depletes B vitamins & magnesium)
– Often avoid fats (poor vitamin D, omega-3 absorption)
Your protocol must include:
1. Meat broth (minerals in highly bioavailable form)
2. Fermented foods (improve digestion, enhance absorption)
3. Good fats with meals (ensure vitamin D, A, E, K absorption)
4. Consistent eating schedule (stabilise digestion, improve absorption)
5. Targeted supplementation (if deficient):
– Magnesium: 300-400mg/day
– Zinc: 15-30mg/day
– Vitamin D: 2000-5000 IU/day
– Omega-3: 1-2g EPA+DHA/day
SUMMARY:
Deficiency-induced insulin resistance means Insulin resistance caused by lack of nutrients required for insulin signalling cascade.
Key nutrients:
– Magnesium (receptor function)
– Chromium (receptor binding)
– Zinc (insulin synthesis + receptor signalling)
– Vitamin D (insulin secretion + GLUT4)
– Selenium (antioxidant protection)
– Omega-3s (membrane function + anti-inflammatory)
– B vitamins (energy metabolism)
Why it matters:
– Can occur even without obesity/inflammation
– Especially affects Vata (poor absorption)
– Grain diets CAUSE deficiencies (low nutrients + phytic acid + inflammation)
– Fixing deficiencies can rapidly improve insulin sensitivity
Integrative Remission Advantages:
– GAPS protocol addresses this (meat broth with higher mineral content)
– Removing grains that contain phytic acid
– Fermented foods improve absorption
– Whole organic foods replete nutrients
This is why this program works so comprehensively.
