Eating healthy (lemmy.ml)

Hi Lemmy. I'm wondering if eating healthy or at least getting enough nutrients, would change a person's outlook on certain things. Like I'm trying out keto and certain foods like avocadoes calm my mind down. I guess I'm asking if someone followed a keto diet or vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, would that shape their political ideology? I'm probably being stupid, but it's just a thought I had. Discuss away!

Not having plenty water or carbs can make you feel sleepy, grumpy and agitated. Not having enough Vitamin K can leave you vulnerable to bruises or cuts. Not having enough B complex or Zinc leaves your body in a lethargic state. Not having enough Vitamin C and water makes your body unable to detoxify well. Not having enough nitrates keeps you from having explosive power to lift or do heavy short burst physical work.

I am an omnivore from India, so I have my eggs, peanut butter cocoa milk, do MMA and workouts, am my own nutritionist and trainer and have my own gym at home. This is all hobby stuff for me.

I cannot really guide you about vegan diets though, as I do not find it a healthy fad.

If someone eats less carbs and high fat, with moderate protein, the body turns fat into ketones, which is more efficient for the body.

Ketones are not exactly healthy for the body in a constant manner, though. Avoiding ketone buildup is the general thumb rule.
