you know i’ve talked a lot about grains blocking  zinc because of the anti-nutrient phytic acid but did you know that nuts also have  phytic acid and actually has quite a bit of course most people consume more grains than  they do nuts but the anti-nutrient phytic acid has the ability to bind with zinc and block it  from being absorbed in our bodies it binds with iron phosphorus magnesium calcium chromium copper  and manganese so if you’re consuming a lot of phytic acid you can end up being deficient also  phytic acid inhibits certain enzymes that help you digest protein like pepsin and trypsin also  a starch enzyme called amylase so these things are blocked now let’s say for example we had a  hundred grams of nuts brazil nuts take the lead with the most phytic acid it has 1790 milligrams  of phytic acid then almonds with 1400 milligrams then walnuts with 982 milligrams peanuts with  952 milligrams of phytic acid and then we have hazelnuts with 648 milligrams of phytic acid and  so there’s quite a bit of this anti-nutrient in nuts so what you need to know is there are ways  to reduce phytic acid number one just not consume as much also realize that your own gut has certain  microbes that can make the enzyme phytase that can break down phytic acid okay so that’s good so  you might not even have any issue with this at all but if you germinate your nuts that means you  soak them overnight dry them out and consume them you’re going to reduce phytic acid i talked about  this in my book also if you boil or pressure cook nuts you’re going to actually reduce the phytic  acid now realize this one point in order for phytic acid to bind with zinc it has to be in  the same mixture okay so let’s say for example you start eating red meat or other foods okay and  you start getting the benefit of zinc then you eat nuts after that and so it’s not exactly the  same mixture okay you’ll probably be somewhat okay because zinc has to be exposed or connected  to phytic acid also if you’re including a lot more foods higher in zinc and a lot less foods  lower in phytic acid you’re going to be in good shape like seafood oysters are at the top of the  list red meats very very high amounts of zinc and fish have a good amount of zinc so i just want  to increase your awareness on other things that can deplete your zinc and that’s because zinc is  a very very important trace mineral hey before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  here is your environment everyone is focused on this over here avoiding your environment but what  about here what about strengthening your immune system that’s what’s missing this course will  show you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system i put a link down in the description right down  below check it out and get signed up today you
