Скачать или смотреть STOP eating Raw Vegetables....

Raw vegetables, especially cruciferous ones, can be one of the WORST foods to eat if you struggle with gut issues:

Here’s why:

Fiber: Although fiber can be beneficial, it can be difficult for people with gut issues to break down (especially in large amounts). Insoluble fiber especially, can lead to bloating and gas.

Complex Sugars: Raw cruciferous vegetables contain raffinose, which are not easily broken down. Our bodies cannot produce the enzymes needed to break down these down.

Glucosinolates: Cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates. Although these can have some health benefits, they can be hard to digest. When broken down, they can prevent the thyroid from absorbing iodine.

Cellulose: The cell walls of cruciferous vegetables are made of cellulose, a type of fiber that humans struggle to digest. This is one of the reasons why cooking is so helpful for digestion; it breaks down some of the cellulose, requiring less work from your gut.

Oxalates: Oxalic acid, or oxalates, is a compound in many plant foods. In large amounts, it can inhibit the absorption of some nutrients, like calcium. Cooking also gets rid of some of these oxalates.

If your digestion is perfect and feel fine eating them, that’s fine!

But if you struggle with gut issues, always make sure to cook your vegetables well! If you have severe gut issues, it may be worth cutting them out temporarily.

I’d recommend sauteing them with some garlic and olive oil.
