It's time to give up beans.
Did you know that if you eat as few as 4 or 5 raw kidney beans, you are literally poisoning your body?
When I first heard this, I was shocked. I thought beans were supposed to be healthy, right? But apparently, if beans aren’t cooked properly, then they actually poison your body with a compound called “lectin.” Gluten also contains lectin, and lectin breaks apart the lining of our gut, causing things like acne, irritable bowel, brain fog, and eczema.
There are foods that we eat, some of which we think are healthy, that really harm our bodies in the long-run, causing everything from nausea to heart disease.
To keep ourselves healthy, we need to stay away from lectins. Thankfully, the incredible Dr. Steven Gundry is bringing that fact to light and is helping people everywhere improve their gut health. For this 5 Minute Friday, I revisit a past conversation with Dr. Gundry about the foods you should absolutely stay away from and why doing so will make you healthier and happier.
