Top Diseases That Are REALLY Nutrient Deficiencies

let’s talk about the top diseases that are in reality nutritional deficiencies is it possible that certain diseases could really be just nutritional deficiencies well that’s what we’re going to talk about you know when you go to the doctor with your disease there’s not a lot of deep dive into vitamin or mineral deficiencies at all that’s kind of off the radar maybe if you have anemia they might look at iron or even b12 but typically they’re not looking for nutrient deficiencies in fact from my experience they don’t really look at the cause for any of these conditions it’s mainly making sure that they correctly diagnose you and then jump right into the treatment but let’s take a look at a couple things there’s over 250 million preschool children worldwide that have a severe vitamin a deficiency which makes them prone to blindness so without enough vitamin a you can very easily develop all sorts of diseases not just with your eyes but with your immune system with your skin you can have acne dermatitis all sorts of things now let’s talk about vitamin e if you don’t have enough vitamin e in your body what suffers is the inside of the arteries vitamin e is one of the main antioxidants that helps prevent lesions and inflammation in the inside of the artery and so a lack of e could set you up for a whole cascade of issues we start building up calcium deposits or cholesterol deposits and the artery becomes plug it all starts with the lesion that can occur because you don’t have enough vitamin e to protect the inside of the arteries also without enough vitamin e the heart muscle itself can lose oxygen and you can be at risk for angina which is chest pain this is why vitamin e is good for anything muscular and they call vitamin e the natural nitroglycerin because nitroglycerin is what they use to stop heart attacks all right vitamin d can a lack of vitamin d cause a disease the answer is yes osteoporosis or osteopenia which is a pre-osteoporosis state you can even have osteomalacia which is softening of the bones a lack of vitamin d can set you up for an infection if you’re low in vitamin d you’ll tend to have high blood pressure unfortunately when you go to the doctor they’re probably not going to recommend vitamin d if you have high blood pressure when it would be a good idea if they did that also in the past vitamin d was used for tb tuberculosis because it’s a great remedy they have found that patients with tb are nearly always deficient in vitamin d which sets the person up or makes them more susceptible or vulnerable to getting tb so it’s intimately involved with the disease process asthma is definitely associated with a vitamin d deficiency depression okay i’ve known many many people who were depressed that then increased their vitamin d that then we’re now no longer depressed all right then we get to iron if you don’t have enough iron your blood is not going to be able to carry oxygen we need iron as the key mineral to be able to carry oxygen in your hemoglobin and without it you’re going to get anemic so you can have a loss of your air you’re not going to be able to breathe that well you’re going to be kind of pale tired then we have b12 you can develop another type of anemia from lacking b12 but there are a lot of other diseases that a lack of b12 will also create okay what about zinc if you don’t have enough zinc a lot of things will happen you could develop dermatitis inflammation of the skin you could develop an infection because zinc is intimately involved with the function of your white blood cells and this is why so many people are taking zinc and vitamin d when they get an infection or when they’re run down to try to speed up the recovery and overcome that infection also if you’re zinc deficient you get a condition called hypogonadism okay so in other words the testicle shrinks and your testosterone goes down also you’ll develop a loss of taste and smell and you can even develop diarrhea i mean in certain countries there’s a lot of small children that die from diarrhea because they’re zinc deficient now if you had high blood pressure the two really central key nutrients involved in that would be a lack of vitamin d and a lack of potassium the problem is when you test potassium in the blood you’re not going to find a deficiency because the majority of potassium is inside the cell so you would have to know that and also do an intracellular potassium test and that would give you a lot of good information to see if you actually had a true potassium deficiency but so many people have high blood pressure because they just don’t have enough potassium in the diet now the partner of potassium is magnesium right another mineral that is mostly located inside the cell that’s why you have to do an intracellular test but if you’re low in magnesium you could develop atrial fibrillation or some other type of arrhythmia now there are classical nutritional deficiencies that most people know about scurvy with vitamin c rickets with vitamin d pellegra which is a severe skin disorder with b3 and beriberi which is a neurological disorder now of course the thought is that we don’t have these major problems anymore maybe in certain countries that are very very poor but what about a sub clinical deficiency maybe the person doesn’t have a major deficiency but let’s say they have a subclinical deficiency that they might not express all of this characteristics of this but just some can we actually create health without nutrients is it possible and the answer is no well on the flip side if nutrients are so involved in your health then a lack of them are going to be involved in the disease process this makes only logical sense let’s take a look at two things the foods that are recommended for a healthy body versus the foods that you really need to eat i’m talking about the eat lancet commission if you haven’t heard about this group you’ll hear more about it i’ve done a video on it it’s a group of researchers that want to do radical changes to your diet and it’s not just to one country it’s to the whole planet they want to have a planetary health diet by the year 2050 and they use all the buzzwords like it’s sustainable it’s healthy well it’s definitely not sustainable for a healthy body and i’m going to explain why they want to make your diet mostly grains 232 grams of grains every single day like corn and wheat and all the other grains potato cassava 50 grams okay vegetables 300 grams fruits 200 grams milk 250 grams and this right here meat 14 grams okay that’s what they want you to eat that would basically be one mouthful of meat okay talking about beef pork lamb things like that eggs 13 grams okay wow we’re really rationing the meat and eggs but you can have the fake meat and the soy burgers no problem okay legumes 75 grams nuts 50 grams and of course we can’t have a healthy diet without this right here sugar 31 grams that’s 7. 5 teaspoons now what is sustainable or healthy about adding sugar that’s what i have a question about now on top of all this what you need to know is there’s something called phytic acid that’s in the grains the nuts and the legumes phytic acid is an acid in the fiber of these foods that bind certain minerals especially zinc iron calcium magnesium potassium okay and then we have oxalates okay oxalates are in the beans they’re in the vegetables they’re in the seeds and the grains what do oxalis do they bind the calcium they make calcium unavailable we also have tannins in these foods right here also binding iron and other minerals as well as depleting vitamin b1 and of course the sugar you’ve seen this in my other videos it’s going to deplete you of b1 zinc potassium magnesium and calcium so the foods that they want you to eat just don’t match what you really need to be eating let’s take a look at these k
