Oat free Granola
JUMP TO’S
10 years ago I discovered porridge would trigger Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder. Which is where the immune (instead of protecting the body from pathogen’s) attacks the thyroid gland by mistake, resulting in thyroid issues. Causing slow digestion, bloating and chronic fatigue. Check my article Porridge could contribute to Chronic Fatigue for more information.
As a result of this I searched for an alternative and I found this delicious nutty substitute.
nut nutritional tipS
You can use any nuts, just make sure they’re unsalted (just avoid peanuts, as they are high in fungus and not the most nutritious nut!)
If you are a herpes sufferer and especially if you are experiencing an outbreak; it is best to avoid nuts until the virus has completely cleared. This is because nuts are high in the amino acid, Arginine, which can strip your body from Lysine. Lysine is what protects you from Herpes viruses.
A handful a day of nuts is usually fine, but don’t consume after 5pm as the high vitamin E content can stimulate the brain, keeping you awake at night.
