The Truth About Chronic Illness and Toxins in Our Food
It’s no secret that chronic illness is on the rise, but what if it’s not always genetics to blame? In a recent video, health experts Dr. Steven Gundry and Sayer Ji explain that environmental toxins and the food we eat have a major impact on our overall health.
Toxins in Our Food
One of the biggest culprits of toxins in our food is lectins. These are proteins found in many plant-based foods, including grains, beans, and vegetables. While some lectins are beneficial, others can cause inflammation and damage the gut lining. This is why many people who suffer from autoimmune diseases or digestive issues find relief by cutting out lectin-rich foods.
But lectins are not the only toxins in our food. Pesticides and herbicides, such as glyphosate, are also widely used on crops and can negatively affect our health. These chemicals have been linked to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses.
Protecting Your Health
So, how can we protect ourselves from these toxins and prevent chronic illness? Dr. Gundry and Sayer Ji suggest eating various nutrient-dense foods, including leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and healthy fats like avocados and olive oil.
They also recommend taking steps to reduce exposure to toxins. This can include buying organic produce whenever possible, avoiding processed foods, and filtering your water.
If you notice that certain foods cause digestive issues or other symptoms, it’s important to eliminate or reduce them from your diet. But perhaps the most important step is to listen to your body. This can help reduce inflammation and support overall health.
The Link Between Chronic Illness and Toxins
It’s not just about avoiding toxins, however. Dr. Gundry and Sayer Ji explain that some foods can help regenerate damaged tissue and support the body’s natural healing processes.
For example, bone broth is rich in collagen, which helps support healthy skin, hair, and nails. Fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut can help support gut health by introducing beneficial bacteria into the digestive system.
And finally, healthy fats like those found in wild-caught fish and grass-fed beef are essential for brain health and can help reduce inflammation.
Final Thoughts
In today’s world, it’s impossible to avoid toxins completely. But by making small changes to our diet and lifestyle, we can help protect ourselves from chronic illness and support overall health. So, the next time you reach for a snack or a meal, consider how it might affect your body. Making mindful choices can make a big impact on your long-term health.
