Kind: captions Language: en today I'm going to talk about five of my favorite tree nuts that fight disease repair the body and help fight harmful body fat they are walnuts cashews pecans macadamia nuts and pine nuts you're ready to dive in let's go nut number one walnuts now walnuts are actually one of my favorite uh you know it comes into in a hard shell you crack it open uh and then the halves come apart and you can just munch on them there's a slightly bitter um outside skin and then this really really nice uh soft meaty part uh inside walnuts can be eaten all kinds of different ways and they're one of my favorites now nuts in general are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids um and also a great source of um dietary uh fiber but walnuts have something else in them that's really special they have a bioactive that can actually kill colon cancer stem cells let me explain what these are Cancers are normal cells that have gone wild berserk mutant and as these abnormal cells grow they are replenished not only by dividing themselves but they can actually be replenished by stem cells now we can kill regular cancer cells with chemo radiation and immunotherapy but these cancer these cancer stem cells are are real real problem because they allow the cancer to come back so when you actually hear of somebody who's actually had cancer headache completely treated and then years later even after the fiveyear window where people you know sort of are hoping that they are going to be in remission after 5 years sometimes the cancer comes back and the reason it comes back are these little tiny cancer stem cells that can give rise to the Cancer all over again right so it's a Holy Grail in the cancer treatment pharmaceutical world to look for drugs that can kill cancer stem cells but Mother Nature beat everyone to the game and wellnuts contain the bioactive that can kill colon cancer stem cells in lab studies now how do we know that walnuts are actually useful in the context of cancer well there was a clinical study involving about 700 people and this was a study done by seven major Cancer Centers across the United States like Harvard Medical School and what the the researchers found is that those cancer patients who had stage three coloral cancer that if they ate uh two fistfuls of tree nuts like wellness a week while they're getting treatment so this is actually you know patients all getting all the things they would normally get plus eating two fistfuls of nut likee wellnuts there was a 70% reduction in the risk of dying from the cancer now what could be going on basically the dietary fiber from the walnuts um feeds the gut microbiome the gut microbiome boosts the immune system that's one of the ways our gut uh Health actually works good immune system plus the effects of treatment whatever it may be um your body combined with the medicines actually can help wipe the cancer out or tip the odds in favor of surviving the cancer and that's what we think is going on but the added dividend from walnuts is this ability to be able to kill cancer stem M El which has been discovered in the lab so that's one of the things now um I'll tell you when I actually buy walnuts I like to First of I like to actually buy the halves buying the entire Walnut itself a little bit tricky for me because then I don't have to I don't want to have to go to a nutcracker every time uh uh to open one of these things when you go by plain walut they can come in halves right that's my favorite way to but often times when you buy them they're unless crumbles I don't really like to have to pick through crumbles and eat it's like a a crushed bun a bunch of crackers I prefer the halves so I will actually go and pick out the halves they're bigger easier to pop in the mouth and chew a little more satisfying uh and I can actually make a trail mix out of it for example now if you want to actually uh roast walnuts or any tree nut uh just preheat the oven uh to like 375 get a cookie sheet put a little extra virgin olive oil on it very little okay uh and just let the nuts sit there and uh roast for a few minutes until you start smelling it and then you're done okay if you're going to need a little salt don't salt too much right because salt is uh not good for blood pressure Salt causes can cause hypertension or high blood pressure If you um have too much salt so just a little touch or you can use other spices uh as well uh walnuts can also be used to make pesto uh you know so instead of pine nuts which is used in traditional pesto use walnuts and crush them up then you can uh grind it up with extra virgin olive oil uh some pecino or or parmesano cheese the real stuff um and some other leaves of an herb like a basil Walnut pesto absolutely delicious okay you spread on on bread you can mix it into pasta another way to actually get the benefits of walnuts now what about the ability to be able to uh help lose body weight well this has been studied um basically tree nuts because of their dietary fiber help our gut microbiome improve the blood cholesterol levels blood lipos such you go down blood lips are really important for U weight management all right uh and a gut microbiome can improve insulin sensitivity and when you actually improve the body's ability to bring in glucose into your muscles into your your C now your metabolism being streamlined so that actually helps to optimize your metabolism all right so these are all good reasons to actually eat Walnuts and I strongly uh en encourage it one thing I will tell you about buying tree nuts if you um go to a snack section you'll see there's so many different prepackaged nuts that are flavored right you've got your Ranch flavored nuts you've got your chili spice flavored tree nuts and walnuts and pecans and everything else be really careful all right even though they may um look appetizing or appealing and probably are very very tasty all right admittedly I always tell people take the package off um the Shelf uh uh take a look at it and look for the ingredient label and look to see if there are things that you don't want for example added sugar or cane sugar high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavoring or artificial coloring or artificial preservatives those are all the kinds of things that you really don't want to actually eat because the nuts themselves are really healthy all right but you don't want to be taking one step forward and two steps back because of all the other things that have been added when the nuts have been pre-s spiced pre-prepared I I always tell people that just to prepare it yourself it's the easiest way uh to actually go and this is the same deal whether you're uh going on a trip and you're stopping by the uh new stand or the convenience store at the airport or whether you're at a gas station and you're taking a break uh and you go into the store to use a restroom and look at all those snacks you can get yes nuts are a healthy snack but I actually encourage you bring them with you okay they'll actually uh be the best way that if you make it yourself you know exactly what's in it that's the best way all right second nut I want to talk about uh are cashews I grew up eating cashews and my one of my earliest memories is there was a store department store that would have these um uh carts where it was cashews in a box that were being slowly roasted and lightly salted and uh there'd be somebody there to actually get a scoop of the cashews out uh and put them into a little pouch and offered them to you and and they were amazing uh so when my parents were shopping I would go they would distract me they would actually give me some money and I go get some cashews and I would snack them that's it it was just roasted cashews and a little bit of salt but since I was a kid I've always appreciated cashews so cashews same deal great source of healthy plant-based um fatty acids Omega-3s um also a great source of dietary fiber good for the gut microbiome and for the same reason uh helps to lower lipids uh blood cholesterol helps to improve insulin sensitivity uh and also can help heal it turns out that the gut microbiome uh can actually help to heal uh you from the inside out now I actually worked on a study uh with looking at the gut microbiome and the effect of probiotics to stimulate the gut microbiome on healing wounds and what we found is that in the lab if you actually had animals uh with a wound like a punch biopsy on their back uh if they actually had probiotics to help their gut microbiome you could speed up healing so this is from the inside out no bandages just actually healing From the Inside Out nuts like cashews and walnuts will actually feed the gut microbiome and help facilitate uh this process of of healing as well okay so cashews a lot of people don't may not appreciate this but cashews come from a tree uh that produces something called a cashew apple look it up on Google all right the cashew apple isn't a real Apple it's a it's a it's a fruit from a nut tree it's edible all right uh and the nut is edible as well the nut the cashew nuts a great source of protein all right and In some cultures uh like in India the nut itself is ground into a powder and it's actually mixed into a base for creating like curries all right so great source of protein great source of dietary fiber it's got um some healthy fats in it as well what's not to like especially when it's used as a base where TC sauce uh like a curry now I was surprised to learn by the way when I was doing research on this that cashews actually contain polyphenols called kakin all right including egcg which is exactly the same beneficial polyphenol that you'd find in green tea amazing cashews also contain a a bioactive called lutein and zanthin and these two bioactives lutein and zanthin are not only potent antiox acdes but they've actually been shown when they've actually given as supplements to actually protect your vision and in fact they're uh there are supplements that contain ltin and zanthin specifically used to lower the risk of a uh uh condition called age related vular generation AMD most common cause of blindness over the age of 65 and people who don't have diabetes you know when you hear uh someone say oh grandma's going blind because she's old no no not because she's old but because she most likely has AMD age related macula degeneration ltin and zanthin which is found in uh cashews actually um reduce the risk they actually push back against that um uh that condition now the other thing uh is that uh cashews deliver dietary fiber as I talked about and they can actually reduce inflammation in your body body and by reducing inflammation that can counter the effect of having too much excess body fat so regardless of what your weight is but especially if you actually have excess body weight all right little overweight or a lot overweight you're going to have some inflammation in your body and eating cashews can actually counter that inflammation by having the dietary fiber feed your gut microbiome that's something that I want to talk about with cashews uh by the way if you're going to go buy uh nuts uh in bulk which is how I recommend that you buy them don't buy too many at a time I know you can go to some of these huge big box stores and get like a gigantic jug of um of nuts and they might sit on your counter or under your table for like a year remember nuts will eventually go rancid because they are they have oil and they're protein right you don't need to refrigerate them although if you refrigerate nuts they'll last a little bit longer and if you freeze nuts they your tree nuts they'll actually last even longer still all right but what I suggest is that where you're going to go buy tree nuts just buy enough that you can actually have eat for a couple of weeks um as a snack or use it over a couple of weeks don't go buying the gigantic quantities of uh bulk nuts all right okay let's take a look at another nut tree nut that is good one of my favorites uh that supports Health that is peans all right if you're from the American South you're familiar with pecans you know roasted pecans pecan pie there's a lot of traditions involving pecans and U again pecans are a great source of dietary fiber protein and they've got polyphenols as well and pecans improve gut health just like the cashews and just like uh the walnuts as well now remember gut health equals immune health and if you want a good strong immune system to be able to resist infections you know if depending on what the season is or whatever bugs and germs are running around you want to be as armed and as have your immune defenses Shields up as much as possible and eating pecans and tree nuts in general is a good way to be able to um help get there have a stronger immune Shield by having your those treenuts feed your gut microbiome all right now studies in the lab have shown that either whole pecans or an extract from pecans contain polyphenols right so and these polyphenols have been shown to improve blood cholesterol profile help to reduce body weight and also these polyphenols have been shown in research to be able to increase the diversity of your gut microbiome now let me explain what that means in your gut in your colon which is the lower part of your gut um there that's where most of your microbiome gut microbiome lives about 39 trillion bacteria they're not all the same bacteria and in fact what research now has has uh revealed is that the more diverse the more different kinds of healthy bacteria you have the better off your health is all right and just like everything else we know about communities the more diverse the community is the more diverse your school is the more diverse your job work environment is uh the more diverse your commun your community the better uh the more Rich the more uh vibrant uh the your uh environment is actually going to be and that is also true that also holds true for the gut microbiome so the polyphenols and pecans actually can help promote more diversity in your gut microbiome and that's actually really really uh an important uh point to think about all right now I usually associate pecans with desserts like pecan pie maybe Candi pecans those are actually really tasty but I can tell you that although they taste great it's much better to eat the pecans in much healthier ways I like them lightly toasted okay or just plain you know and snack on them uh again think about this you are feeding your gut microbiome you are actually feeding your health when you do that but if you're looking for creative ways that you might be able to um prepare roasted tree nuts of any sorts including pecans you know um you can look online uh to look for different types of recipes but um some of the my favorite ways of doing is you can dust it with a little bit of cayenne pepper for a little spice uh Mustard Seed um is another way of actually um lighting up the flavors um kind of the um uh the the Savory flavors pecan turmeric actually powerful anti-inflammatory spice another way of actually serving up pans U and there's other healthy spices as well and by the way I've talked about pecans and we've talked about walnuts talked about cashews you don't have to eat these nuts in isolation you can mix them all together right so you can create your own uh tree nut mix and then add those spices to it yourself keep it in a jar tightly sealed um and if you stick it in the fridge you it'll actually last a lot longer again don't forget I'm telling you is that nuts have oils in them and those oils will eventually um go rancid if you let them sit out for a long time so I I know that um I used to have uh tree nuts packages of tree nuts in my pantry I keep them there for many many months and sometimes even longer they're not good all right so you don't want to be uh don't buy more than you actually can eat over I would say a couple of weeks all right so next uh nut that I want to actually tell you about are macadamia nuts now I remember having Macadamia um uh uh once when I took a trip it was a family vacation uh when I was a kid and we went to Hawaii and I remember uh seeing these kind of marble small marble like uh nuts they um look like they'd be really hard but actually they're kind of soft and they tasted really great um and you can find them candied I don't recommend um that that is the healthiest way to eat it but they are lightly salted um and you can put all kinds of spices on them and you can mix them with other nuts as well uh macadamias actually are native to Australia all right so they come from that part of the world and they were actually an original bush food for aboriginals there okay so long before we thought about this for health and wellness as a snack um you know these nuts were foraged by aboriginals and they use them for food why look they've got the healthy mono unsaturated fatty acids all right the mufas they're a great source of protein a great source of dietary fiber which is good for the gut microbiome and more importantly I actually enjoy eating them okay so there are similarities to all these aspects of the nuts one of the common things that they're all helping a gut microbiome which actually promotes healing can uh lower inflammation which fights off disease and improves your blood cholesterol your insulin sensitivity so helps your metabolism and that is actually going to help you lose weight the other thing that what nuts do is they actually can help promote the feeling of satiety which means that you feel full and you don't feel like overeating the next time all right so by eating less by feeling full uh you're more likely to uh cut down on the calories that they are actually taking in so that's another reason to actually have nuts as a snack all right back to macadamias turns out that macadamias have been studing in a lab and they have a bioactive that isn't found in some of these other nuts and that bioactive is called beta costol beta sitosterol all right and this is actually a natural chemical that's quite similar to cholesterol all right so you might say well I don't know if I want to be eating something that's got something like a cholesterol into but guess what clinical studies in men have shown that beta costol might be useful in reducing the symptoms of a prostate condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy BPH now the prostate is actually located um kind of like at the bottom of the uh of your pelvis of of a man um the uretha runs through it there's all kinds of nerves that run through it um the prostate produces semen uh in men uh and uh as we men get older the prostate can actually en en large and because there are tubes like the urethra that run through it when the prostate enlarges and it actually can squash down uh the the the urethra the tube that urine flows through from the bladder it can actually uh impede the flow of urine not obstruct but impeded by compression right you've got a tube you're pressing it down it's going to be harder to push fluid through it all right harder to empty your urine all right uh and uh and so that's one of the uh common conditions of men as its aging all right it's a Continuum from benign prostatic hyper uh hyperplasia BPH to other prostate uh issues as well there are actually Medical Treatments uh that you can give for BPH but guess what beta sitosterol has been studied in clinical uh trials to be able to reduce the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy pretty cool all right now the uh other thing that's really interesting is that beta testosterol also been studying the lab and it has some anti-tumor properties as well anti-tumor properties a lot more research needs to be done about this but this is what happens when uh there's a new compound in a food that's been discovered researchers kind of pounce on it and try to figure out like um uh what can this do uh what useful application could it actually have and so benign protic hypertrophy is one of them prostate swelling and and now cancer researchers are beginning to look at this one uh as well okay now uh here's an interesting thing beta costol is also anti-angiogenic now angiogenesis uh actually is a term that describes blood vessel growth angio blood blood vessel Genesis how they grow I'm an expert in angio Genesis I that's what I do for uh a living in terms of my uh research area where I started and I'll tell you um blood vessels are absolutely critical for your health because they are the highways and byways that U bring oxygen that we breathe and nutrients that we eat to every single organ and every single cell in your body so you want good blood vessels and the body knows how to control just the right amount of blood vessels so there's always enough blood vessels not too few not too many but just right it's called The goldilock Zone you know the Bears not too hot not too cold just right not too hard not too soft just right same deal with um androgenesis and your body's other health defenses and these are what I teach uh in my e Tob disease course the five bodies five Health defenses so if you're interested you know check out my course and we go into a real deep dive in this but here's the thing there are chronic conditions in this case an autoimmune condition like rheumatoid arthritis where the disease leads to inflammation and inflammation that is sort of like a wildfire in the body um actually recruits new blood vessels uh into disease tissues in a case of rheumatoid arthritis new abnormal blood vessels grow into the joint now joints normally don't have blood vessels so when blood vessels grow in there because of inflammation uh and the blood vessels aren't normal here's what they do they're bringing in oxygen and nutrients but they're also bringing in enzymes all right and the enzymes that the uh blood vessels the new abnormal blood vessels bring to the joints in rent arthritis uh they they get out there and they leak those enzymes destroy the joint they chew up the joint all right that's not what you want and the other thing is that because the blood vessels that grow R to arthritis are not normal you know what happens those blood vessels leak fluid what do you think happens in a joint when you're leaking fluid from these abnormal blood vessels The Joint will swell and now you can actually see exactly what we uh would expect in rator arthritis you get these joints that are swollen inflamed very painful and the cartilage in there of the joint is actually being destroyed by the enzymes released from these new blood vessels okay now researchers in China have actually been studying this Macadamia derived bioactive beta costol and guess what they found they found that beta costol can prevent those abnormal blood vessels from growing and destroying a joint now this has been done in the lab so animal models only but it's a really interesting Prospect to think about how something from the macademia might be useful in lowering inflammation but perhaps protecting the joint and arthritis as well this is an area of more research but it just shows you the power of you know the lowly lowly tree nut you never think about it as particularly beneficial but actually quite amazing hey check this out I've got a guide on the five small daily habits of boost brain health and prevent cognitive decline and it's free I share simple easy to use recommendations that you can add to your routine today these are habits that I use personally and it's yours right now for free in the caption below all you have to do is click on the link below the video now I love macademia nuts just roasted just a touch of sea salt uh it's great um uh again don't add too much salt but you know you can also um cook with macadamia nuts you know there's a number of Thai uh and Southeast Asian dishes where they add nuts uh into the dish including macadamias you get this nice Crunch and way great way to actually add a plant-based uh texture with protein into a veggie mix for example you know you get a a really spicy Tangy uh veggie dish maybe with eggplant or whatever and you throw some acadamia nuts in there and S stir fry that serve it over a better rice really great so anybody looking for recipes listen um I have some recipes but I will also tell you easy way is just go into Google search Macadamia um Savory uh if you want to look for a Thai Dish and recipe and hit search touch video and watch somebody who really knows what they're doing describe for you how they do it how easy it actually is they'll give you the recipe as well and you can actually see it being made right before your own eyes that's easiest way for me to actually tell you how to find um creative ways to actually use any of these tree nuts that we're actually talking about uh today okay now the last nut that I want to tell you about um actually not really a nut so it's a little bit of a cheat but we think about it as nuts because they have the name on it and that's pine nuts in fact there's another name for pine nuts um if you are Italian or familiar with Italian recipes pigoli pinoli okay p i g n o l i pinoli now pine nuts as I said are not a true tree nut actually a seed and you know what they're a seed of they're a seed of the pine tree right you think about pine cones pine nuts they're actually all in there all right now it's really difficult to get a lot of these pine nuts out of a pine cone or a pine tree that's where they're kind of pricey all right it's not that easy to get them because they're growing wild um and so Pine aren't really considered a food uh for humans but they are really a treat they're used in Mediterranean Cuisine they're um you can find them in Asia uh you can find them everywhere actually um and they're great when you actually toast them lightly or you mix them together in something like pesto okay and if you've never made pesto all right pesto is something everyone uh who spends any time in the kitchen you got to know how to do it all right so I'm just going to tell you how to do it um if you know a better recipe than what I'm about to tell you stick with yours but I'm just going to tell you for newbies here's what you actually do to make your own homemade pesto you take pine nuts all right you take some garlic you get some basil leaves not um the dried ones all right not the dried spice get fresh basil leaves you can find them in almost every grocery store really year round because you these are grown indoors as well and get some extra virgin olive oil get the highest quality you can um I like to use monovarietal made with one um variety of Olives I like for example Greek olive oil is is coroni olives have a high high high polyphenols like hydroxy tyrosol Spanish olive oil pql p i l very high levels of polyphenols in Italian um in umbre there's a olive that's grown frequently called morolo very very high levels of polyphenols these three Cori pql morolo some of the highest levels of polyphenols that are out there so get some of that if you're going to make your pesto and what you do is if you wanted to do it old school like the original way all right uh what you do is you take a mortar and pestl these are you can find them in wood but they're usually originally Stone a mortar pestl is like a like a stone Bowl all right and it's got this like um this handly like thing with a ball at the end of it and literally you put these ingredients in there the pine nuts the garlic the basil leaves extra virgin olive oil and you just grind them together or you mash them together all right um you want to do it a faster way more water away throw them into Fruit poer um and and just buzz it and it'll mix it all together uh blend them all together and you know what you're going to wind up with you're going to wind up with this incred rible green paste it's going to be kind of a grainy green paste absolutely delicious um you can add a little touch of salt on it if you want and you can also add some cheese to it if you uh eat dairy um peino Romano cheese uh or parmesano orano cheese always get the real stuff don't get the gigantic Factory massade uh stuff just grate it grind it throw it into there pulse it all together get it nice and smooth smoth and now you have something that can not only can you spread onto bread but you could also um do it uh the way that um they do it in liua which is a part of Italy that you know Pesto's most famous from cook some pasta all right throw some pesto your pesto sauce on there after it's done mix it around and now you've got yourself a delicious pesto pasta that gives you the benefits the health benefits from the extraen olive oil the bioactive from the basil the garlic uh and the pine nuts as well all right so the pine nuts although it's a seed actually also has healthy fats as as dietary fiber now the other thing about pine nuts that they have is they have their own special bioactive called elic acid all right elic acid is the same bioactive found in strawberries it actually is anti-inflammatory cuts off the blood supply of tumors it's cancer starving um and that's another really cool benefit of of pine nuts so lot of these uh you know a lot of these tree nuts and and in this case the pine nut uh the seed um have their own uh superpower uh with of some bioactive they have in there that can be Health beneficial all right um I'm going to tell you one more thing you can do with pinut I love to do I love to actually make add pine nuts to a spinach dish uh that I once ate at a Spanish restaurant all right it's a Spanish um I think it's a katalan uh spinach dish but basically you take some extra virgin olive oil the kinds I told you about earlier take a little garlic get the garlic golden brown and throw uh your spinach in there you can use baby spinach or any kind of spinach leaves just break off the stems uh and then um and then let that heat up now the spinach will actually Wilt in seconds all right like like let me I'm talking about like an under a minute you'll actually have the spinach will Wilt fold it'll start to cook you got that nice extra virgin olive oil and you got the garlic going and then what you can do is throw some golden raisins in all right and then throw some toasted pine nuts right in there quickly turn it take it off the heat that's it like you're done in I don't know maybe maybe two or three minutes three minutes let's call it and put it onto a dish that's the dish that I really enjoy eating and uh and in addition to the benefits of the pine nuts and the garlic and the extra virgin olive oil um and the raisins okay which have some dietary fiber uh and it's got some Resveratrol in it as well the spinach itself is a great source of nitric oxide and nitric oxide which um widens your blood vessels lowers blood pressure which is actually good for overall health as well so you know what I'm talking about healthy tree nuts and seeds in this case with pine nuts don't think about you have to have it only as Trail makes get creative go traditional look for ways to actually incorporate them into um a more diverse and Broad palette and look for recipes online all right so um just to wrap up a little bit all these nuts tree nuts and that seed the pine nuts they contribute um great source of protein good source of healthy fats dietary fiber good for gut health lowers inflammation improves lipid metabolism which can lower your cholesterol streamline your metabolism uh and so your brings down your blood glucose and they're actually absolutely delicious easy to work with just don't buy too much at a time so they don't go rancid on you um and the last thing I'm just telling you is that remember I recommend that you actually buy them plain and um figure out how to doctor them up to your own personal liking you want personalized Nutri ntion this is your opportunity to actually uh have some fun with your own raw tree nuts and then come up with some recipes you mix yourself don't buy too much don't make too much store it okay and snack on it and now you've actually uh found some really really good easy snacks that can Tide you over between meals good for your health uh good for your brain good for your gut and it's healing as well all right that's it I hope you learned something new uh this time and thanks for watching I'll see you on the next video hi there have you enjoyed watching this video I know you'll love the next one stay here and check it out and I'll see
