Nuts & Seeds

Nuts and seeds are concentrated sources of minerals, healthy fats, protein, and fiber. However, they contain anti-nutrients like phytic acid that can block mineral absorption. Proper preparation through soaking, sprouting, or roasting makes them more digestible. Use nuts and seeds as garnishes rather than main components of meals. A small handful daily is sufficient. Focus on variety - walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax, and chia all offer different benefits.
