Most of our food is broken down into glucose, the fuel that keeps the brain alert.
Glucose is a simple sugar and an important energy source that helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels. While most of the time, we have a certain amount of glucose in our blood, certain foods release glucose quickly, while others do so more slowly.
If you consume the wrong types of sugar, such as those found in processed foods rather than fruit and other plant foods, your blood sugar levels may spike. Over time, this can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it's crucial to consume glucose from healthy plant-based sources. Glucose is a monosaccharide, a type of carbohydrate, and is a primary product of photosynthesis in plants. In the human body, glucose levels are regulated by insulin and glucagon to maintain energy balance.
The glycemic index (GI) is a ranking system for carbohydrates based on their immediate effect on blood glucose levels. Foods are scored on a scale from 0 to 100, with pure glucose having a GI of 100. High-GI foods are quickly digested and absorbed, causing a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, while low-GI foods are digested and absorbed more slowly, leading to a gradual rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. Managing GI is important for people with diabetes or those looking to control their blood sugar levels.
The Advanced Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Recipe
Advanced Heavy Metals Detox Smoothie Ingredients:
- 2 bananas

- 2 oz pure wild blueberry juice, or
- 2 tbsp pure wild blueberry powder
- 2 cups tightly packed fresh cilantro

This smoothie features larger amounts of the five key ingredients to remove toxic heavy metals more effectively. Below, you can read about how each ingredient works. The Brain Saver Protocols focus on protecting brain health, improving cognitive function, reducing stress, and preventing neurological disorders.
Chemical compounds in the five key ingredients—wild blueberries, spirulina, cilantro, barley grass juice powder, and Atlantic dulse—work together to carry toxic heavy metals out of the body safely. These ingredients help to neutralize and remove metal debris that could otherwise harm tissues.
Wild blueberries have a cleansing effect on the brain. They help extract and eliminate heavy metals while stimulating new brain cell growth.
Cilantro, barley grass juice powder, and spirulina each play unique and critical roles in removing toxic heavy metals from the body.
Atlantic dulse, a type of sea vegetable, helps to guide metals out of the body by assisting in their removal from the intestinal tract.
Combine the bananas, wild blueberries, cilantro, barley grass juice powder, spirulina, and Atlantic dulse with the juice of 2 oranges in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Add up to 1 cup or more of water, coconut water, or orange juice if a thinner consistency is desired. Serve and enjoy!
