“Healthy” Foods That May Be Doing More Harm Than Good
If you eat “so healthy” but still feel like 💩, stop doing this👇🏼
🙅🏻♀️ Listen, before you get your panties in a bunch about how you think you’re eating all these healthy foods, and some nutritionist is telling you not to…
Please understand that if you feel amazing, 100% great after eating these foods, then keep on carrying on. 👍🏼
But if you struggle with gut health issues, IBS, bloating, constipation, cramping, gas, hormone imbalances, struggling to lose weight/metabolism issues, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disease, etc.
… then this one’s for you. ✔️
While these foods definitely have nutritional value, they also have properties that might not be supportive on YOUR health journey right now.
01. Hummus
Can be difficult to digest for some due to its high fiber content + the presence of anti-nutrients in chickpeas, as well as the seed oils most brands use, potentially exacerbating gut issues
02. Chicken
Conventionally raised chicken may contain hormones and antibiotics that can interfere with your body's endocrine system, potentially leading to thyroid + hormonal imbalances
03. Brown Rice
Contains phytic acid which can hinder nutrient absorption + irritate the digestive tract, particularly in those w/ gut dysfunction
04. Salads
Raw vegetables can be hard to digest + may lead to bloating/discomfort
05. Onion
Onions are high in fructans, a type of fermentable carbohydrate that can trigger bloating, gas, and digestive distress in people w/ sensitive guts or IBS
06. Quinoa
Its high saponin content can irritate the gut lining + cause digestive discomfort
07. Broccoli/Cauliflower
Cruciferous veg like broccoli + cauliflower contain goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function and are harder to digest
08. Nut Milks/Butters
Can contain additives that disrupt gut health. High omega-6’s can contribute to inflammation + hormonal imbalances
09. Gluten-Free Foods
Many are high in refined starches + sugars, which can spike blood sugar levels. Not to mention their often too high concentrations of pesticides.
