Are All Raw Seeds And Nuts Good To Eat? Should They Be Part Of Our Diet?

and what about seeds in not sow seeds we have sesame sunflower Chia flax pumpkin him organic raw are we saying they’re all good all the time and when it comes to nuts are there certain raw organic nuts that was saying you can have too many how should we you know with celery there’s no limit it is matte much as you can when it comes to seeds and nuts always is moderation better at what what’s how much do you recommend is it okay to just to eat as we want
why don’t I tackle that first is that I think that we’re what we’re very clear here that people can ovary calories in general and overeating calories can put more fat on your body and more fat on the body is not health favorable so it’s not the question isn’t about really eating more seeds and nuts it’s whether you’re overeating calories in general

and sometimes you have to watch your seat a nut intake so your level of calories is not over the amount you should be eating each day so but in any case given the framework that we’re agreeing that my either moderate caloric restriction or bodyweight plays a role in health we shouldn’t be over consuming any foods that leads to obesity or overweight or an overweight condition

that said a moderate that eating nuts with meals in a moderate amount as part of a whole healthy diet and whether your diet whether your diet has a little more fat or a little less fat or a little more nuts or a little less nuts as long as the calorie content is favorable shouldn’t affect your health and may even be an important factor to improve your health to have a little more nuts and seeds as long as the calories are favorable

so it’s not something you have to really moderately restrict it’s that you your overall diet because when you’re putting the nuts in as a substitute nutrient in other words I’m putting a little more not something the less potato or even less rice weed less of something else so still keep my calories relatively flavorable and there’s no ha problem with eating those nuts

there’s a lot and nuts have a bad rap for no legitimate reason but excess calories deserve the bad rap I couldn’t agree more with what Joe just said and of course I just run down about eating nuts regularly it’s gonna give you everyday is going to give you a 20% decrease in your mortality rate that’s a pretty good thing according to your constant tution

some people can have more nuts and seeds and actually do better and some people can do less however I’m gonna use the word mTOR pathway and it basically speaks to between 35 and 70 grams of protein gives you optimism so you never want to overdo it 70 grams isn’t a whole lot for people who need more protein and 35 for people who don’t

mean I’m not kind of more a low-protein person because my Constitution does better with that so I think there’s a range and if we keep in that range we’re gonna get support of optimum health longevity in cancer prevention that’s the only thing I would add to it

some people have liver gall bladder troubles okay fine don’t need a lot of nuts and seeds because a lot of people have died digestive problems but aside from that kind of thing you have to find the right range according to your constitution but it’s an essential part from my point of view of a healthy diet

and and I would add a couple of things first is that I think doc-doctor feminist has mentioned this in in his lectures as well but but certainly nuts and seeds have not in particular have about six to eight hundred calories a cup and so it is possible to overeat them and but we probably absorb about 25% less calories from nuts and seeds than what you see on on any chart so you lose some in your stool

the other thing I would say about nuts and seeds is that a lot of people the nuts and seeds they consume are not in an ideal form so often they’re coated in chocolate or they’re covered in salt or they’re covered in sugar and so when we talk about nuts and seeds we’re really the best you can do with nuts for example would be to soak them sprout them dehydrate them and rather than rose which can produce some acrylamide and products of oxidation

they still list most of the studies on nuts and showing beneficial effects don’t distinguish they are using roasted nuts they’re still valuable but to make them the most valuable you want to reduce anti-nutrients release stored forms of nutrients and not add to the acrylamide content and so forth so that’s one thing

and then the second thing I’d want to say is with seeds you want to make sure no seeds are actually more nutrient dense than nuts so they have more protein they have more trace minerals more iron more zinc generally than what you would get from a similar amount of nuts so they’re about probably 12 to 15% of calories from protein whereas nuts are more in the 5 to 8 percent range

so the other thing that you want to think about is when you’re doing your mix of nuts and seeds you want to make sure that some of those are rich in omega-3 fatty acids so seeds a lot of seeds are rich in omega sixes and as vegetarians we’re relying on conversion at least some what we want to make sure we have a source of omega-3 if we’re not we’re not obviously eating fish so including some chia hemp flax some walnuts is a good idea in that mix

very good and you can you imagine that has made it a really important point you just made that no reconsiders that thence nuts studies showing that how beneficial they are at extending lifespan are done unroasted nuts and they still show incredible benefits you know what I mean imagine if they really did him on the healthy or nuts it’s so it just gives more support to what we what we’re saying

yeah and in supporting what Brenda’s saying too we always so conductin seeds he gives out the anti healing Lutins and anti chips and factors which black your digestion there so we always soak them the way that water and that makes them a lot more digestible as well
