| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:19.4 | So, if you have trouble consuming nuts, this video is for you, whether you're consuming |
| 0:27.7 | almonds, pecans, Brazil nuts. So, a lot of people get this bloating and they're not |
| 0:31.8 | sure why. Well, nuts have more phytoc acid than even grains or legumes, but what is the |
| 0:39.6 | same called phytoc acid? Phytoc acid is something that a seed uses to help bind minerals and |
| 0:46.9 | prevent biochemical reactions to allow this seed to sprout. So, phytoc acid is kind of |
| 0:54.3 | a chemical to keep things locked up. And when you consume seeds with phytoc acid, you are not |
| 1:00.0 | only creating a problem in the absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, but also because |
| 1:07.5 | some of those minerals are used in enzymes. Overall, when you consume nuts, you can't utilize a lot of |
| 1:13.3 | these enzymes to help you digest them. So, it's a situation where you're consuming a food without |
| 1:19.3 | enzymes. And so, it tends to sit in the stomach, create all sorts of bloating, create irritation, |
| 1:25.7 | and even inflammation. So, the worst nut that has the highest phytoc acid is almonds. It is 9.4% |
| 1:32.9 | phytoc acid. Walnuts are 6.7% phytoc acid. And Brazil nuts are 6.3%. Now, if you compare these |
| 1:42.5 | to grains, grains are actually a lot less, but there's a very simple solution to phytoc acid. |
| 1:48.1 | All you have to do is mimic the normal sprouting process or germination process that naturally occurs |
| 1:55.1 | when you plant a seed. And to do that, you just soak them in water overnight. That will start the |
| 2:00.5 | process going. The phytoc acid will be released. This whole binding process between minerals will go |
| 2:06.8 | away so you can actually absorb these minerals. And now this nut is going to be much easier to digest. |
| 2:13.4 | Now, the problem is you're going to have this soky, soggy wet nut. So, you're going to have to dry it |
| 2:17.3 | out. And the best way to do that is either put it in the oven at a very low temperature or a |
| 2:24.1 | dehydrator for a period of time until it's dry. But what you're going to find is when you germinate |
