Do you love eating almonds?
Almonds have been part of our diet for
centuries and we are sure you have recently eaten them in this week. But did
you know that they have harmful side effects as well?
It’s really strange that you will never
hear about how harmful they are to your body.
So today we are going to educate you on the many harmful things almonds
can do to your body and health.
Let’s go deeper into how they can
negatively affect your body.
They can interfere with your medications:
If you love almonds you will know about it, if you are a casual eater, you wouldn’t - almonds are rich in manganese. According to Livestrong.com, every 1 oz. of almonds will have 0.6 milligrams of manganese.
If you love almonds you will know about it, if you are a casual eater, you wouldn’t - almonds are rich in manganese. According to Livestrong.com, every 1 oz. of almonds will have 0.6 milligrams of manganese.
Normally this wouldn’t hurt but if you
already have a diet that is providing your body with appropriate manganese,
almonds can cause problems as it will start interacting with your
medication.
If you are prescribed with
laxatives, drugs for blood pressures or are using anti-psychotic drugs, almonds
can easily trigger what is known as drug interactions.
Simply put, they will inhibit your
medications to be effective to their full potential.
They can play havoc on you nervous system:
They can play havoc on you nervous system:
Almonds when consumed in excessive amounts can slow down your nervous system, trigger breathing problems and in severe cases, can be fatal.
The reason comes down to the bitter
almonds, those pesky ones that come along normal ones and literally make you
puke. But they are also rich in hydrocyanic acid which is known culprit behind the
above mentioned symptoms.
Hydrocyanic acid is also known
prussic acid and is a harmful, colorless poison that is extremely dangerous for
human health.
Trying to lose weight, stop eating almonds NOW:
If you are working on losing your weight
then you need to stop consuming almonds. Each ounce of almonds comes with 163
calories and 14 g of fat!
You might be thinking that by eating dry
fruits like almonds can help you stay away from your cravings but these little
buggers can add more to your body than help it to lose some.
So when you plan out your meals, make
sure you don’t forget about this little fact.
Excessive Vitamin E is a “big no-no”:
Our daily intake of Vitamin E is around
15 mg. However when we are enjoying eating almonds, we can easily exceed this
amount and in fact if you eat them excessively, you can easily cross 1000mg.
If our bodies accumulate excessive
Vitamin E, it can cause flatulence, diarrhea, headaches and dizziness and even
blurred vision.
They make bones weak:
Did you know that almonds are rich in oxalic acid? Oxalic acid can reduce the rate at which our body absorbs calcium as it binds itself with the calcium along with other minerals in our intestines.
Since calcium is one of the key
components of healthy bones, eating almonds can cause you to have weak and
fragile bones. Eating too much can even lead to osteoporosis.
Almonds make kidney stones:
As
we stated, almonds are rich in oxalic acid which binds itself to calcium to
create calcium oxalate which is the foremost compound that creates kidney
stones in our body. So if your diet already has oxalates in it, eating almonds
can increase the amount and cause painful stones in your body.
It’s a hybrid nut!
Recently it has been found that many
foods that come to the market are synthetic or have been manipulated by
scientists to increase the yield and gain more profit.
This is alarming as foods that are
advertised as organic and healthy, are not as natural and rich in nutrients.
Scientists have started to crossbreed two types of almond trees (the Tuono tree
and the Nonpareil tree) to create hybrid almonds.
These new trees are self-pollinating and
don’t need bees to create more plants and trees, meaning they are unnatural and
will cause harm to your body.
But I love eating almonds and other nuts! What should I do?
Almonds have been part of our diets for
very long and we understand that since the earliest days of your childhood, you
have been munching on almonds without any care.
Now that we listed all these side effects of eating almonds, you will be looking for alternatives that don’t harm your body. Luckily for all of us, we have Dr. Sebi’s recommended list of nuts that we can rely on.

So what’s next for
you?
By now you have to be convinced that
almonds pose serious threat to healthy living. Now it’s on you as to how you
make decisions regarding consumption of almonds.
If you have been eating almonds and love
them, transitioning away from them is going to be hard. However the list of
nuts approved by Dr. Sebi are equally delicious, have 2x more benefits
and no side effects on your body.
Just consider hemp seeds from the above list.
They are rich in Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) which encourages the buildup
of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins fundamentally help in smoothing out our
muscles, are strong anti-inflammatory and also help in managing high blood
pressure, breast pains, skin allergies and more.
Taking out almonds from your diet is one
step towards living healthy life and we urge you to research other foods that
you are eating every day to find out whether they have serious risks or
not.
