Are all seeds bad for you you know I don’t know how many times I’ve seen on the Internet or people telling me that Dr gundry says that all seeds are bad for you and I have no idea where that concept came from but let’s correct it right now now remember plants have two

Philos opies in protecting their seeds so that their seeds their babies Sprout and grow in fact some plants want you to eat their seeds let me briefly explain if there is a tree that is stuck in the ground and immobile and has grown to big enough to make uh fruit then they

Want you their predator to take that fruit with its seeds and eat it and walk away or fly away and deposit the babies with a generous dollop or fertilizer quite a ways away from the mother plant because the mother plant would Shield uh shadow that baby if it just

Dropped to the ground there and probably wouldn’t do well so they protect their seeds with a shell that cannot be digested and they make you interested in eating their babies by having all that wonderful luscious fructose Laden fruit and they even tell you that it’s ready because

They change colors and you have color vision so you’re a fruit Predator so they want you to eat their seeds on the other hand most grasses and other Ann ual plants are growing in a great place and they’re going to die so they don’t want their seeds to be carried off they

Want them to be dropped to the ground so they have number one no incentive for you taking their seeds and going elsewhere and they want their seeds to drop to the ground so in that case they protect their seeds from being eaten either by an impenetrable shell or by

Loading those seeds with lectin so that if those animals happen to eat those lectin containing seeds they will not Thrive and will avoid them in the future so there is method to a plant’s Madness so there are plenty of friendly seeds let’s talk about for example pomegranate seeds so pomegranate seeds

The arals are some of the best foods that you can actually they have an incredibly High polyphenol content and in those of us who are lucky enough to have an appropriate gut microbiome the AG galic acid in pomegranate seeds can be converted into uh one of the most potent mitochondrial

Boosters that there is they have omega5 which is incredibly beneficial fat but go easy on pomegranate juice you’re actually losing the benefit of the omega– fivs in the seeds and a lot of the polyphenol content that’s in the seed so you don’t get the fiber you don’t get the polyphenol content and you

Don’t get the Omega 5 plus that pomegranate juice is going to have a ton of sugar so eat the seeds whole that’s the best way to get the benefits how about basil seeds basil seeds are incredible for your health they actually are an amazing Prebiotic fiber that your

Gut buddies absolutely love and they have adaptogenic properties just like basil in general which is part of the minth family the seeds of Basil have these same properties in fact we did a whole episode episode 219 with Sakira NE AI the founder of Zen basil that I think you’ll just

Absolutely love sesame seeds now sesame seeds are an excellent source of magnesium which most people are deficient in they also have OIC acid just like olive oil and they actually have a very interesting Omega 6 fat now when you hear Omega 6 you say wait a minute Omega 6 that actually causes inflammation

Not so fast it’s been shown that the omega-6 fats in sesame seeds actually block inflammation and a very interesting human study having people have two tablespoons of sesame oil a day dramatically lowered their blood pressure and when they stopped using the sesame oil their blood pressure went

Right back up now sesame seed versus sesame oil well they’re both actually great for you the nice thing about sesame seeds is that you can make tahini out of it and if you want to know what to do with tahini check out my macadamia nut hummus with tahini cooking demo on

My podcast YouTube channel I think you’re going to love it and it’s a great way to get all the benefits of another seed sesame seed into your life hemp seeds hemp seeds are one of the great complete proteins out there they are so versatile you can put them into

Salads you can stir fry them in some of your favorite vegetable dishes you can put them in smoothies for protein and despite the name you will not get high from consuming large amounts of hemp seeds flax seeds now flax seeds are another great example of a plant that

Has devised a way to protect their baby from your digestion and I get a real kick out of people eating flax seeds or flax seeds crackers for their health benefits without realizing that that shell is impenetrable to digestion you can’t break through the wall of a flax

Seed so you can eat all the flax seeds that you want but the plant has designed them so that you’ll poop them out the other end but flax seeds are one of the richest sources of the short chain omega-3 fatty acid alphal linolenic acid and also one of the great sources of

Flax seed lignans which are other signaling compounds that may actually have some interesting anti-cancer benefits so how do you get that benefit you got to grind them up and don’t grind them up and leave them out because they will actually go rancid very quickly if you buy ground flax seeds in the grocery

Store or the health food store you’ll usually see them in the refrigerated section for a reason once you open that package put it back in the refrigerator I find the easiest thing to do is buy flax seeds whole I’ve got a coffee grinder devoted to grinding the flax

Seeds and then add them to what you’re going to eat that way you’ll get all the benefit same way with flax seed oil flax seed oil carries those same benefits of ala and ligand but once you open it put it in the refrigerator cuz it’ll go bad

Very quickly how about something we have been lacking for many years in our diet grape seeds it turns out the biggest benefit of eating an actual grape was actually eating the seed because grape seed extract grape seeds are incredible source of polyphenols and there are studies after

Studies after studies some of which I publish showing the benefit of grape seed extract on dilating blood vessels in humans and in making the lining of our blood vessels less sticky and believe me you do not want sticky blood vessels the problem is when I was

Growing up all grapes had seeds and so if you ate grapes you ate the seeds as they still do in Europe in fact I recently he returned from a trip this fall in Europe where we were given grapes with seeds for dessert to have with our cheese and we ate the grapes

And the grape seeds because that’s what they were designed to do every now and then in farmers markets and some high-end grocery stores you can still find grapes with seeds and if you do buy them if not grape seed extract is a great choice papaya seeds papayas the real benefit of

Papayas is in the seeds and most people throw them away papaya seeds are loaded with polyphenols and here’s the deal just throw them in your smoothie they will blend up you won’t taste them and you’ll be good to go so don’t waste those papaya seeds all right how about seeds

That you should avoid number one is chia seeds now I can’t believe how many times I’ve heard the Aztecs have been eating them forever they’re a health food well I used to think so too until I got off the phone years ago with the father of the paleo

Diet and I was exclaiming how great chia seeds are and he says you idiot don’t you read the literature and he sent me two papers one a human study where they wanted to show that people who ate Chia SE seeds got more omega-3 fat in their

System and by the way they also wanted to prove that their inflammation markers measured by C reactive protein went down which you would think if the Omega-3s were anti-inflammatory unfortunately what they found was yes the omega-3 levels in their blood went up but their C reactive proteins also went up exactly what you

Don’t want to have happen and interestingly enough that inflammation many of my patients feel and many of my patients who had autoimmune diseases when we took the chia seeds out of some of their favorite foods and I won’t name them here they started to get better use

Basil seeds instead of chia seeds you’ll get the exact same effect that you want in thickening but you won’t get the ill effects of chia seeds second pumpkin seeds pitas pumpkins are part of the Squash Family the skin and seeds are full of lectin now the Flesh of pumpkin

Does not have many lectin the same goes for the foods in this family in France and Italy I always see peeled and deeded cucumbers because they’re smart enough to realize that these are where the problems are the seeds are the problem but by the way the Squash Family

Unfortunately has a lot of sugar in them so eat them in moderation even if you peel and de seed them how about everybody’s favorite seeds sunflower seeds sunflower seed and oil are one of the great lectin bombs of all time so please stay away from sunflower seeds

And sunflower oil but now you know there are some seeds that are very much your friends and surprisingly the plant wants you to eat those seeds not all seeds are bad but know your seeds
