#GutHealth #Fruits #Tierlist

yeah it should probably go up here and
ask about wait a minute apples are
nothing like what they used to be fun
fact people who eat an avocado a day
compared to people who don’t lose weight
cut the ends off but leave the fuzziness
and so we use limes in our house because
of that so just be
[Music]
careful hello I’m Dr Steven Gendry and
welcome to gut instincts So today we’re
going to embark on a FL flavorful
journey through one of Nature’s Most
delightful offerings fruits now before
we get started just remember when we
talk about fruit we’re talking about
organic fruit and eating fruit in season
and in moderation I’ll be ranking these
everyday fruits from s to f s stands for
superfood and f means it belongs in the
trash but before we jump in don’t forget
to hit that subscribe button and like
this video if you’re ready to boost your
gut health along with me let’s dive in
first up an apple hey an apple a day
keeps the doctor away yet it should
probably go up here and ask but wait a
minute apples are nothing like what they
used to be an apple is about the size of
a cantaloupe now and interesting fact
the fructose in an apple is extremely
high so a modern apple is really one of
the least preferred Foods I know it gets
a d well how about a pear a pear that’s
unripe like a crispy pear that’s crunchy
is actually really good for you it does
not have that high sugar content if you
go and get the beautiful barlet pear and
eat it ripe and it’s just dripping sweet
in your mouth it’s really bad pears can
actually be a super food if you eat them
right but we’ll give it a b because most
most of you aren’t going to do that okay
how about an orange same problem here
oranges have been bred for sweetness
everybody’s probably seen the Cara Cara
naval orange recently and boy are they
delicious but they’ve been bred for
sugar content so an orange is okay but
orange juice is horrible we’ll give it a
be oh now how about grapes everybody
knows how great grapes are because
they’ve got Resveratrol that amazing
polyphenol that’s in red wine only
problem is grapes are just like apples
in that most of the sugar content in
grapes is fructose rather than glucose
glucose is not the enemy in Fruit it’s
fructose and grapes are tied with apples
as the highest and grape juice is even
worse so grapes are joining apples way
down in the D list uh how about kiwis
there are really cool studies showing
that kiwis particularly the little
golden kiwis feed good gut bacteria and
have also been associated with making
more diversity in the gut and there’s
even human studies that they promote
weight loss now here’s the key buy your
kiwis wash them cut the ends off but
leave the fuzziness the fuzziness has
got a ton of really great fiber and
polyphenols super food number one kiwis
and if you can find them get the gold
kiwis grapefruit now the good news about
grapefruit is that they have not been
bred for sweetness but they’ve been bred
for size so when you’re buying
grapefruits don’t cheat yourself buy the
smaller ones and that goes for fruits in
general smaller is better but
grapefruits are low in sugar they have
some very interesting polyphenols
grapefruit is is way up there in the a
is how about an avocado well an avocado
is a fruit it’s actually a single seeded
Berry its fat is mostly a
monounsaturated fat OIC acid exactly
like in olive oil and it’s loaded with
fiber so avocado should have a place on
your table fun fact people who eat an
avocado a day compared to people who
don’t lose weight and fun fact adding an
avocado to your salad allows you to
absorb the nutrients better better than
if the avocado wasn’t added to the salad
super fruit number two mango oh man if
you want a sugar bomb mangoes are right
up there but buy your mangoes unripe and
then use them in a salad you are going
to get a huge boost in Prebiotic fiber
very little sugar as long as you buy it
unrip and that’s usually how you see
them in the stores so I’m going to put
it up in a cuz some of you are just not
going to be able to resist the ripe ones
I can assure you in my patient
population I can tell when some of my
patients it’s mango season because their
blood work shows it all the time
strawberries who doesn’t like
strawberries well you probably know that
there’s some very great benefits to
strawberries in terms of polyphenols and
a very cool anti-aging compound called
fetin but most strawberries in the
United States are consistently on the
dirty dozen for most pesticide and
herbicide Laden Foods so nowh they’re
grown get them organic and by the way
strawberries should not be growing in
January February March oh yeah I can
drive up to my home in Santa Barbara and
pass the Strawberry Fields right now in
February but these are Franken
strawberries stay away from them please
so strawberry have a place as long as
they’re organic and in season how about
pomegranates pomegranates contain some
fascinating polyphenols that are also
present in walnuts and also present in
rasberries and it’s gallotannins and if
you have the right bacteria in your gut
pomegranates will turn into this amazing
postbiotic called uthan a and if you’ve
watched my YouTube’s on Ethan a you know
what I’m talking about the other great
thing is that pomegranates are seasonal
and it’s really difficult to get
pomegranates year around it’s a
superfood how about blackberries if
you’re going to have berries Believe It
or Not blackberries and we’ll talk about
raspberries in a minute are probably the
best berries for you but spoiler alert
blackberries are huge now they’ve been
bred for sugar content remember what
you’re looking for in berries is
actually the polyphenols in the skin and
the seeds and recently all of these
foods have been bred for bigger berries
so blackberries are right up there
they’re certainly right tied for the
best of the berri but what about
blueberries blueberries have been bred
and overbred for sugar content
blueberries even organic blueberries are
now the size of grapes and if you
actually cut one open as I did on a show
recently you’ll see that most of of the
blueberry is now sugary pulp so get
organic blueberries get them in season
and be aware that blueberries just
recently were put on the dirty dozen
list meaning they are the highest of
having pesticides and herbicides so be
cautious about blueberries we’ll put
them down with the strawberries because
of the pesticide and herbicide warning
raspberries raspberries are tied with
black berries is the safest and be most
beneficial of the berries again they’ve
been bred for size so find the smaller
ones you’ll be better off and remember
raspberries like pomegranates have that
amazing polyphenol that if you’re lucky
you’ll make your lithan egg so
raspberries uh well we’ll put them with
blackberries tied with blackberries oh a
banana so a banana as most of you know
when it ripens is a sugar balm but when
it’s unripe and it’s hard to peel it’s
one of the best Prebiotic fibers for
your gut buddies peel your bananas while
they’re kind of green they should be
difficult to peel cut them in half throw
them in the freezer preferably in a
glass container or in a Ziploc and use
them in your smoothies because they’ll
be a great way to feed your gut buddies
but if they’re yellow we’re talking
trouble so I’m I’m going to put those in
you know we’ll put them in the B
category we look at food sensitivities
of the 100 most common foods that people
eat and we look at
IGG antibodies to various Foods this is
different than food allergies and one of
the things that surprised me when we
started doing this a number of years ago
is that
lemons frequently pop up as a food that
many people are sensitive to now lime
lies don’t have the same effect and so
we use limes in our house because of
that so just be careful not everybody
reacts to them but I see it often enough
that lemons now move down the lifts
unfortunately speaking of moving down
the list Tomatoes tomatoes are part of
the nightshade family tomatoes have a
really mischievous lectin in their peel
and in their seeds and traditionally
cultures that use Tomatoes all always
peel and deced their tomatoes and
they’re perfectly fine but remember they
are not a vegetable they are a fruit and
they do have sugar many of my patients
are shocked when they’re using tomato
sauces that are made from PE and DED
tomatoes that their triglycerides go up
all because this is actually a fruit so
tomato uh the way most people eat them
they enough sorry all right I went to
medical school at Georgia the Peach St I
love peaches and the stone fruit family
but I have a number of patients who have
antibodies to peaches and apricots so
that doesn’t mean don’t have them but
the wonderful thing about peaches is
that they are seasonal the bad thing
about peaches is having grown up and
spent time in Georgia a peach no longer
is like a peach a peach is about the
size of a cantaloup so it’s been bred
for sugar content so please please be
careful with your peaches pineapple
everybody knows how good pineapple is
for you it’s a digestive shockingly way
up on the list of fruits that people
react to with antibodies IGG food
sensitivities is a pineapple now I
personally think that that’s because it
is another tropical fruit that most of
us in the world were never exposed to
until Colombian trade even though it’s
touted as a digestive this unfortunate
fruit is reacted to by a number of
people it’s down on the D list as well
watermelon who doesn’t love watermelon
watermelon is just so wonderful but
remember that a seedless watermelon is a
modern invention I’m old enough to
remember when we actually ate watermelon
with seeds and quite frankly the seeds
getting them out or spitting them out
slows you down so it’s actually
difficult to eat watermelon quickly now
the problem with watermelon it’s true
it’s mostly water hence the name but
watermelon unfortunately does have a
high glycemic index use it in moderation
look for the organic varieties but
please limit your portion we’ll we’ll
give it it’s sorry it’s going down in
the Deep finally cherries the good and
the bad of cherries if you can find tart
cherries and having trained at the
University of Michigan they are fabulous
for you believe it or not in helping you
sleep and in reducing uric acid the
problem that causes gout but cherry
juice and cherries like bing cherries
are giant fruit sugar bombs beware that
cherries seem to magically appear twice
a year they magically appear in summer
and fall in the United States where
they’re grown but then magically this
spring they appear from Mexico Argentina
Chile that are not in season so please
avoid cherries except once a year and
please please do not go to the big box
stores and buy the giant bags or boxes
of cherries and think that if a few
cherries are good a lot of cherries are
better they see this all the time from
my patients who have heard how great
cherries are cherries have some really
cool polyphenols they have some really
cool things for gout once again in
season and moderation okay so we got
three Superstars kiwis avocados and
pomegranates some Big Time Players
oranges that’s grapefruit sorry unrip
mangos blackberries and raspberries
watch yourself crispy pears oranges
green banana not yellow cherries
particularly if you can find tart
cherries and then we get into the dirty
dozen we get into foods that sound great
like lemons and peaches that you may
actually have antibodies to then the
guys look a big giant apple right now
sorry it’s on a d same way with grapes
seedless grapes same way with pineapple
same way with seedless watermelon you’ll
notice tomato got an F it’s the only
fruit that got enough and I want to be
adamant about this because I see so so
many patients that the peel and the and
the seeds are the lectin that they react
to and remember most tomato sauces in
this country are made from the whole
tomato in contrast in Italy by law they
have to peel and deced the Tomato now
before I say goodbye please let me know
