The nutrition world has gone absolutely insane.
Every week, there’s a new “boogeyman” food to blame for your health problems.
Here’s the truth: you don’t need to demonize plants or worship them. You don’t need to go full carnivore or plant-based. Balance exists, and the middle ground is where sanity and health thrive.
Yes, some plants can cause issues for certain people. Foods high in oxalates (like spinach and almonds), antinutrients, or tough fibers likely won’t work for you. But not every plant is out to get you.
Raw carrots? Great for digestion. Fresh herbs like basil & rosemary? Amazing for inflammation. Arugula? A nitric oxide-boosting powerhouse that’s low in oxalates. Mashed sweet potato? Incredible for powering hard-charged workouts. Celery? Amazing as a chlorophyll-rich detoxing juice.
It’s not about restriction—it’s about knowing your body. Find the plants that click with you and ditch the ones that don’t. Pair them with high-quality animal foods for balance.
