Most people are aware of gluten, a protein in wheat that causes inflammation, prompting many to spend billions on gluten-free diets. However, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one type of a more common and toxic plant protein called lectin. Found in grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy, lectins are designed by nature to protect plants from predators, including humans. When consumed, they trigger inflammatory responses that can lead to weight gain and serious health issues. At his clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated thousands with autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases using a protocol that detoxifies cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. In this work, he shares his clinically proven program, highlighting that lectins are ubiquitous. To avoid them, he suggests simple strategies: peel vegetables to reduce lectin content, eat fruits in season for lower lectin levels, and swap brown rice for white to minimize digestive distress caused by whole grains. With a comprehensive list of lectin-containing foods, substitutes, a step-by-step detox plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, this guide reveals the hidden dangers in our diets and offers a new approach to healthy eating.

"I read this book... it worked. My autoimmune disease is gone and I'm 37 pounds lighter in my pleather." --Kelly ClarksonMost of us have heard of gluten—a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world.The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including:Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content.Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption.Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress—and are full of lectins.With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl—and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.

Es ist paradox: Wir wollen immer länger leben, werden aber im Alter kränker und schwächer. Das muss nicht sein. Gesundheit im Alter ist nicht genetisch bedingt. Sie hängt maßgeblich ab von unserem Essverhalten und Lebensstil. Was unsere Darmbakterien zu essen bekommen, entscheidet darüber, wie langsam und gesund wir altern. Mit seinem lektinfreien Ernährungskonzept stellt der Kardiologe Steven R. Gundry herkömmliche Glaubenssätze auf den Kopf: Anders als oft angenommen, schaden Vollkornernährung, eisenreiches Essen sowie Obst- und Gemüsesorten, die giftige Lektine enthalten, unserem Mikrobiom. Wer darauf verzichtet, kann typische Alterskrankheiten wie Diabetes, Krebs, Arthritis oder Alzheimer aufhalten. Dieses Buch liefert erhellendes Hintergrundwissen zu einem darmfreundlichen Gesundheitskonzept. Zahlreiche Rezepte und viele Tipps helfen dabei, es im Alltag erfolgreich umzusetzen. Mit umfassendem Ernährungs- und Gesundheitsprogramm
