Hummus: Is it safe on keto? This may surprise you!

hey guys in this video we’re going to talk about  hummus and after I’m done with this video chances are you’re going to probably drive out and get  some hummus to start consuming it because it’s quite an amazing combination of six ingredients  chickpea tahini olive oil lemon garlic and sea salt now when you buy hummus read the ingredients  and make sure it does not consume anything else like preservatives and chemicals and soy oil okay  don’t get that one give get it basically just with these ingredients now let’s just first talk  about the chickpea garbanzo bean it actually has properties to improve insulin resistance it helps  your blood sugar so even though there’s a good amount of carbohydrate it will not affect your  blood Sugar’s too much at all I have diabetics that consume this and it doesn’t really affect  them so that’s the good news plus if we add these tahini and olive oil that fat buffers any type  of you know spike in insulin okay now I’m sure there’s a point where you can consume too much  but here’s the key is when you consume hummus make sure you use vegetables not pita dip I’m  sorry okay so it also has 75% in soluble fibers when this fiber goes into the large colon these  microbes start consuming it and they make this thing called butyric acid which then feeds the  colon cells this acid is also really good for insulin resistance so it’s going to help you in  two ways now chickpeas are also high in molybdenum which also helps the liver detoxify certain  things like heavy metals and also byproducts or toxins from Candida so that’s pretty cool and  then we get to tahini button that sesame seed oil sesame seed oil has a lot of properties that sisal  vitamins but it’s high in a methionine which is an amino acid which is good for depression and an  anti gray hair factor so if you’re deficient in this amino acid you can get gray hair and I’m  not saying it’s going to help your hair but it could affect it gallbladder support omega-3 acids  and a lot of other nutrition it’s kind of similar to peanut butter but it’s more bland olive oil  I’ve done a seminar on that restore the video that recently anti-inflammatory supports the  cardiovascular systems high in vitamin E okay I get the extra virgin lemon lemon is really  good for preventing kidney stones it’s also high in vitamin C and has a lot of other things as  well garlic it’s probably the most powerful anti microbial things you can consume and anti-cancer  and there’s a lot of phytonutrients I mean it’s good for parasites and fungus and you name it and  then we got the sea salt sea salt is composed of 94 minerals so can I mean this is an incredible  combination of ingredients to make hummus so it’s okay to consume it even on a ketogenic diet  so okay guys in summary you can either find some from the health of store or make it your  own and put a recipe down below check it out
