Real Food

**Quickly, before I begin this post...I just found out that the senior midwife who delivered both our boys, Abby, has died tonight, Nov. 30. She went peacefully, in her sleep -- she was in her 60s. We are in shock, she was happy and fine only on Thanksgiving! Please say a prayer for her family.** Nuts are an excellent food -- high in protein and fat and a lot of key nutrients, including magnesium (which many people are lacking in). However, they're also high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient which binds a lot key nutrients and makes them hard to digest. It also means the nutrients aren't available to your body.
