hey guys I wanted to create a short

video on lectins okay I want to make it

really really simple lectins are

proteins in certain foods that have a

couple purposes one is it acts as a

survival mechanism to protect the plant

it actually keeps the insects away

because it kind of release lectin is

kind of considered a poison to insects

and also helps the communication between

the cells now the problem is if a person

is sensitive to lectins and they eat too

much they can actually create an

inflammatory condition in the gut they

can actually it can really tear them up

and create leaky gut which then can lead

to autoimmune problems because a lot of

your immune system is in the intestines

or around the intestines so the foods

that are very high in lectins are like

beans legumes especially kidney beans

peanuts soy whole grains nightshades not

all of the vegetables but the nitrates

the peppers the eggplant the tomatoes

high-end lectins certain animal products

also have lectins especially if the

animal consumes grains okay but not

grass-fed so you don’t have to worry

about that and this is why it’s

important for vegetarians or vegans if

they’re consuming beans or legumes to

cook them properly or ferment them

germinate them soak them to try to lower

elect ins because it definitely is a big

problem for people now I had another

point from someone who said I dr. Berg

you’re recommending all these vegetables

and I am lectin sensitive so how am I

going to do this well first of all

you’re not going to find many lectins in

leafy greens okay so those are totally

fine and you’re not going to find much

lectins in cruciferous vegetables so

that’s definitely not going to be an

issue it’s going to be mainly in the

night shades so you can just avoid those

and then the last question is what would

make someone more sensitive to lectins

than others well it has to do with your

microbiome or your your internal flora

of your friendly bacteria if you don’t

have a good flora in your gut

you’re gonna be more sensitive and that

could happen after antibiotics or

consuming GMO foods which have

glyphosate that really disrupt the gut

and I think that’s one really big issue

that a lot of people don’t focus on but

as long as you’re doing organic foods

you’re doing healthy Kido you’re not

consuming these right here and you avoid

the nightshades you’re gonna be fine

another thing you might want to do is

add a good probiotic I like EEM it’s

called effective microbes and you can

get it online I don’t have any specific

company but just find that and start

taking a little bit of that before you

go to bed all right thanks for watching
