now out of all the nuts walnuts have

something called ala that stands for

alpha linolenic

acid which is a precursor to

epa and dha which are the omega-3 fatty

acids but ala itself has some unique

benefits

for your skin it can actually help

prevent scaly skin

dermatitis

hyperpigmentation of the skin where you

have dark blotches through the skin it’s

also been known to prevent skin atrophy

and of course if it converts to the more

powerful forms of omega-3 it can help a

lot of things like your heart

inflammation brain health and the list

goes on and on and on but you have to

realize that only a percentage of ala

converts to epa and dha so to convert to

epa it’s roughly about between 10 to 21

and then converting to dha we’re only

getting between five to nine percent

also there’s some interesting studies

that show benefits for your

cardiovascular

system yeah seven out of eight of the

studies showed benefits to the

endothelial wall of the inside of your

arteries

now realize these studies were not on a

lot of people so

you know it’s a correlation but it’s not

proof that it can actually help your

heart also it was shown that there was a

shift from

small particle size ldl to large

particle size ldl and walnuts have

folate uh vitamin e

polyphenols and they’re low in lysine

and high in arginine now arginine can

help increase

growth hormone it can help rid excess

ammonia

so it’s involved in the urea

cycle also arginine can increase nitric

oxide which is good for blood pressure

and cardiovascular health here’s the

problem with walnuts most people eat

them raw and they have

phytates sometimes even more than grains

and they have enzyme inhibitors so they

can create

bloating however the solution is to

germinate the walnuts so you’d soak them

in water between 24 and 48 hours and

that will remove the phytates as well as

the enzyme inhibitors of course you’re

gonna have to dry them out in the oven

under low heats or a dehydrator but the

problem with phytates is that phytates

block certain minerals like zinc

iron

magnesium so our bodies can tolerate a

certain amount of phytates but if we’re

consuming too much that can create a

problem with the mineral absorption as

well as our digestion itself now as far

as the enzyme inhibitors it can inhibit

pepsin which is involved in protein

digestion in your stomach it can also

inhibit amylase which has to do with

carbohydrate carbohydrate metabolism as

well as inhibiting trypsin in your small

intestine and this is why if you eat too

many nuts you’re going to feel kind of

bloated and you might have constipation

however if you germinate the nuts you’ll

have much less problem now recently i’ve

been consuming

these right here sprouted organic

walnuts and it’s a really good brand but

i consume these after a meal and they’re

quite delicious and they don’t create

the bloating that normal walnuts can

create but apparently they germinate

these for about 48 hours

and i’m gonna i’ll put a link down below

because when i find a good quality

product that people work hard at

creating

i promote it now one little point i

would only recommend the plain not the

other ones because the other ones have i

think some honey which i don’t recommend

now if you haven’t seen my other video i

did on pistachios

let me put that up right here check it

out

you
