Nuts and seeds contain compounds that can trigger skin issues. Similar to grains and pseudo-grains, nuts and seeds are the “baby” of a plant, so nature seems to have provided these defenseless babies with defense chemicals to discourage animals from eating them. These defense chemicals are what can wreak havoc in humans who eat them.

Note: nuts and seeds contain compounds that can inhibit your body from secreting digestive enzymes. If you feel like you have weak digestion we recommend you avoid nuts and seeds so that these compounds don’t impair an already weakened system.
