hey guys I wanted to create the short

video for those people that are

susceptible to getting kidney stones and

this is relating to nuts okay and what

nuts have the lowest amount of oxalates

ox looks are a chemical compound in

certain foods that combined with calcium

and create a lot of irritation in your

kidney and the joints and other tissues

of the body and can form kidney stones

okay

so certain nuts are high on the list

spinach

rhubarb chocolate I’m sorry and a lot of

other foods have certain amounts of

oxalates in fact it’s almost impossible

to avoid oxalates in your food because

it’s in so many different types of foods

so you really want to just consume the

least amount possible if you’re

susceptible to getting kidney stones

okay so in this list we’re comparing

milligrams per 100 gram per weight okay

so if you’re gonna take a hundred grams

of almonds you would end up with 469

milligrams of oxalates so almonds have

the highest amount of oxalates of all

the nuts okay so of course you don’t

want to avoid those for sure

cashews come in number two then come

pine nuts then peanuts walnuts now we

start to get lower amounts pecans

pistachios and macadamia nuts so these

are pretty darn low and as a side note

there are other things you can do to

minimize damage control for example if

you were to consume nuts and cheese

together that calcium in the cheese

would bind with the oxalate and make it

in soluble which means it’ll go right

through the body through the digestive

system and not absorb through the

digestive tract and up in your blood and

then in the kidney so the goal is to

keep your dietary amounts of oxalates

the lowest possible the other thing you

can do is consume lemon juice for

example or potassium citrate or calcium

citrate because the citrate will also

help to lower the binding effect of the

Oxford stones and I know a lot of you

are on the ketogenic diet some of you

have a tendency to get kidney stones and

it’s really sometimes difficult because

you have spinach for example you have

chalk

you have nuts in so many different

recipes what do you do well you just go

on the low end right here and then add a

little bit of maybe goat cheese to the

nuts and that would definitely minimize

the damage and if you’re not too

familiar with oxalates I have some

videos down below you can you can study

all right see you next time

so I wanna thank you for being here and

watching my videos if you haven’t

already subscribed go ahead and do so so

you can stay informed of future videos
