Avoiding lectins can improve overall health from "summary" of The Plant Paradox by Dr. Steven R. Gundry,MD
The idea that avoiding lectins can improve overall health may seem counterintuitive at first. After all, lectins are natural proteins found in many plant-based foods that are supposed to be good for us. However, as I have discovered through years of research and clinical practice, lectins can actually be harmful to our bodies.
Lectins are a type of protein that plants produce as a defense mechanism against predators. When we consume lectins, they can bind to the cells in our intestines and interfere with our body's ability to absorb nutrients properly. This can lead to a host of health issues, including digestive problems, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
By avoiding foods that are high in lectins, such as grains, legumes, and nightshade vegetables, we can reduce the burden on our digestive system and allow our bodies to function more efficiently. This can lead to improvements in energy levels, digestion, and overall well-being.
In my book, I provide readers with a comprehensive guide to understanding lectins and their impact on our health. I also offer practical advice on how to reduce lectin consumption and make healthier food choices. By following the principles outlined in my book, readers can take control of their health and experience the benefits of avoiding lectins firsthand.
