Diet

There are different sources of carbohydrates and you have to distinguish between the following: (1) How many carbs and fibre they contain (2) How quickly they get into the bloodstream in the form of glucose.

Knowing your body and taking informed (thus data-based) dietary decisions is key.

At AURUM we drink the so-called Bulletproof Coffee, a creamy latte that consists of high-quality coffee, pasture butter and high-quality MCT oil. MCT is an oil that consists of medium-chain triglycerides and is obtained from coconut oil. Although coconut oil also contains many medium-chain fatty acids, the majority of these fatty acids are the so-called "lauric acid." In a high-quality MCT oil, however, only caprylic and capric acids are found, which are metabolized faster by the body and give an extra boost.
