so I had another question should I avoid

seeds and nuts if I have diverticulitis

okay well first of all what does

diverticulitis

it’s a condition where you have

inflammation in your diverticula which

are little use these little pouches and

your colon and this idea that if you

consume seeds or nuts they’re going to

kind of lodge in there and irritate it

and create more problem that is a total

myth see the nuts do not create

inflammation in your colon okay they

don’t cause diverticulitis

diverticulitis comes from consuming

foods that are very inflammatory like

the grains like the bread the pasta the

cereal the crackers those foods

vegetable oils like corn and soy oil and

your salad dressing highly inflammatory

omega-6 fatty acids of course sugar is

very inflammatory if you have insulin

resistance you’re going to have a lot of

inflammation so just by getting on keto

and doing in a minute fasting especially

you can heal the inflammation in your

colon 95% of people that have this have

it in the lower part of the colon the

last part called a sigmoid colon it’s in

the left lower area right here and some

foods that are really crucial would be

all the leafy greens which have

chlorophyll chlorophyll is a great

healer of the colon wheatgrass juice

powder also really will help cabbage any

form of cabbage whether it’s sauerkraut

or just regular coleslaw or cabbage has

certain things in there that are really

good for the colon okay it’s good for

acid reflux as well fermented vegetables

are really important like pickles

sauerkraut kimchi really important to

provide the right food for the microbes

that will also help you because a lot of

times this condition happens after you

take antibiotics you wipe out all the

good bacteria and then you have all

these inflammatory conditions so you

have to build that back up alright
