Is Grain Allowed?

Hi, Nick here again from Best Body Health Coach. So in this video, I'd like to talk to you about grains and why you should never actually eat grains and why we do not allow it on our, on our health programs. So firstly, I'll get into why we shouldn't have it and what, how detrimental it is for your health, and then I'll get into why you should give it up and how that would benefit your health. Okay, so what are grains? So basically we're looking at flour, bread, pasta, cereal, rice, corn. So all these things are pretty much GMO, which means they are sprayed with glyphosate, which is a pesticide, which is extremely dangerous. It kills microbes, which means when you eat it, it goes into your stomach, kills your gut microbes, and destroys your immune system. So that alone will be cancer-causing. All right, issues caused by grain. Gluten creates inflammation. So you hear everybody talking about gluten. Gluten-free products and so on. So gluten is a protein which is inside the grain, and it causes massive inflammation in the gut. It's really not good for you at all. If you just went gluten-free, that would already probably benefit you by probably about 15 or 20%, as opposed to like giving up grains completely. So don't think going gluten-free Is going to be that good for you. All right, so it's high in omega-6, and omega-6 causes bloating, brain fog. It causes like inflammation in the body, so you get pains and aches and pains in your joints, mood problems, depression. So omega-6 is, is like Too much of it in the body is just like not good at all. As you can see, there are— if you're thinking now to yourself, I get brain fog from time to time, just think how much omega-6 you're getting in with your grains that you're eating. Okay, phytic acid in seeds, it blocks minerals, it blocks the intake of minerals or your absorption of minerals. Things like zinc, iron, and calcium. So people are going, oh, I'm a bit zinc deficient, or I'm iron deficient, I'm, you know, I'm anemic, and the doctor's always worried about my iron content. Stop eating grain, and you'll stop getting this phytic acid in your system. So phytic acid is, it's an enzyme blocker, so it stops you from digesting the grain. So that's what gives you pains in your stomach, that's what makes you bloated, that's what makes you constipated. So basically, if you think of a seed and how seeds are spread, because a seed or a grain is really just a grass seed, so all grains are seeds from different kinds of grass, wheat is a kind of grass. So phytic acid If a bird comes along, takes that seed, and flies off with it, it poops it out somewhere, and it hasn't digested that seed, so that seed can go into the ground and germinate. And so the survival of this grass species is forwarded into the future through this method. So there's a very specific reason why there's phytic acid In grain. So if you're eating grain, it doesn't matter if it's whole grain, and I'll get into the joke of whole grain in a minute, it's full of phytic acid, so you're not actually even going to be digesting it. And the other thing that happens as well is, it also— the other food that's going through the intestines at the same time with the grain is also not getting digested because of the phytic acid. Let's quickly talk about the whole grain. The whole grain, the FDA, basically they say the definition of whole grain is it has to have all of the parts of grain as per its definition, but it only needs 51% of that to be called whole grain. The other 49% is all refined Commercialized grain, so you're buying whole grain bread and you think you're doing your family a favor. Sorry, but you're not. So that's why we need to stay away from all grains. Grains are not meant for human consumption. Okay, it contains enzyme inhibitors causing digestive issues. I just went over that. That's the fine gas. It spikes blood sugar, causing tiredness, less concentration, lowers the mood, anxiousness. Does that sound familiar? So you'd actually be better off giving up grain and not giving up sugar. I'm not saying don't give up sugar, I'm just saying that the grains are actually more destructive for your body than sugar is, and sugar is quite blooming destructive. Okay, very low in nutrition. I don't even know why people eat it. It just fills them up and it makes them fatter and fatter and fatter. Have a look around you at who the people are who are obese. They are consuming high carbohydrates and they are consuming high grainy. All right. So also what they do with these grains is they add high fructose corn syrup, soy oil, MSG, they load it with that kind of stuff. And, you know, it's not all grain, but most of it, most of your breads, your pastas, are all loaded with this kind of stuff. MSG is just like terrible for you, basically paralyzes your taste buds open so that you can taste better. Can you imagine what it does to your insides and to your neurological system, your whole nervous system? Yeah, it's never going to be good for you. And then it's GMOs basically again causing cancer. So if you are eating your grains, you've got all this to look forward to. It's a whole array of side effects and body conditions and Pretty much what you see out there with with most of the sick people on this planet is a lot of it comes from grain. The other lot comes from sugar. All right, so let's get on to the positive side of this and what will happen to you if you decide okay I'm giving up grains. What can you look forward to? All right, no bloating. You don't get bloated anymore. So you're eating your food. and you're expecting to get bloated and you don't. So that's one thing to look forward to. Less inflammation. So for instance, if you have arthritis, that's really just deposits in the joints of different kinds of minerals like calcium and so on, and that a lot of it is to do with omega-6 and inflammation. So you'll get less inflammation. So if you have arthritis, Stop eating grains, all grains. Don't be fooled by your whole grain bread or whole wheat or whatever it might be. Stop eating grains and you'll have less inflammation, you'll have less fluid retention. Most people who eat grains are carrying around probably about 5 to 6 kilograms, which is about 13 pounds of excess fluid in their bodies, water retention. They're like, oh, I've got Water retention, because you're eating grains. So when you when you stop eating grains, let's say for two or three weeks, you'll find that you'll just lose all of that water retention, which is going to be pretty good for you. Ah, you'll find that you sleep better if you give up grains. A better hormonal balance. So your, the balance of your hormones starts to get back into sync again, much better than it did before. If you just give up grains, your immune system works a lot better. So let's have a look at that. So if you, your immune system basically comes from your gut. So depending on how strong your gut bacteria is, and your digestive system is, is how strong your immune system is going to be. So, you know, I don't know if you like getting sick, but you probably won't get as sick, and if you do, if you get injured, you get healed a lot faster. All right, and then you have a lower risk of cancer, obviously, and better digestion, obviously. The other thing that happens is you get— it causes Hashimoto's disease, so that can thyroid and it starts to mimic the thyroid. So it's like your own immune system attacking your thyroid because it's mimicking it. And if you just give up grain alone, like all grain, stop eating grain, you may even find that all these weird and wonderful diseases that are out there that you may have just like kind of start disappearing. So That's my take on grain. I hope it was informative. You can obviously see why we don't allow any grain whatsoever on our program. Our program is called the Health Program. Health. We don't call it a keto program, we don't call it a healthy keto program, although it is a healthy keto program. We call it a health program because that's what we are aiming at. We're aiming at making you more healthy. So that's why we want you on the program, because if you can become more healthy, your mood swings can get better, that's good for everybody, including you and everyone around you. You know, if you, for instance, you know, don't get as sick as you used to get, that's good for you and everyone else around you. It's also good for the wallet, you know, a little A lot of people say that these kind of health programs are rather expensive and this way of eating is expensive. It's not as expensive as a hospitalization or having your gallbladder cut out or something like that, or having pancreatic cancer or something. It's not as expensive as that, actually a lot, lot cheaper. So your choice. Thank you for listening, and you can find us on bestbodyhealthcoach.com. We're on Facebook, Best Body Health Coach.
