For me personally a high fiber diet definitely works to stay regular but I think hydration is also very important! I eat a mostly whole food plant based diet and it gives me the energy I need for my workouts and I've maintained A healthy weight.Excellent video!
This video really made me think about how society underestimates the importance of fiber (especially, as the video mentions, the life saving benefits of it).
Stumbled on this topic today "Farm exposures, parental occupation, and risk of ewing's sarcoma". The risk of pesticides seems to get downplayed a lot, many farmers believing they are safe, since they are not prohibited. (Similar for all kinds of special treatments to your utensils or cookware. Really a lot of kinds of environmental exposures. Kind of analogous to how designer drugs are created. One is prohibited, the other is introduced) This example (parental chemical exposure) seems one reason the environmental contribution to cancers gets frequently underestimated.
100% correct if you want to be constipated. Fibre give bulk to the stool... So if you wanna make something bigger pushing it through a small hole. Be my guest... That's why vegan channels have to have hours and hours of videos on constipation. And if you read the comments on them it shows that constipation is huge in the vegan communities. In contrast go watch carnivore videos on constipation, read the comments and see if you might spot a difference. There is a difference and the difference is that they don't suffer from constipation. Surely there are some that do but in comparison to vegans it's not even a discussion to start
How do we know it is the fiber and not all the other great things in whole plant foods (or the combination of them all)? Whole food plant based for 5 years now and never going back
Hi, Xperience Evolution! That is a good point, since whole plant foods provide complete packages of fiber and other nutrients. Of course, as mentioned in the video, some plants provide more fiber than others. To some extent, fiber intake is a proxy for consumption of whole, plant-derived foods. I think it is likely that a combination of factors are involved, but to get enough fiber, we must consume a large variety of whole plant foods. I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
Do you consume the daily dozen, foods highest in: Arsenic, Gliadin, Furocoumarins, Cesium, Oxalates, Goitrogens, Serpins, Solanines, Cyanide, Thallium, Bergapten and Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids. Should we keep eating foods high in these 12 or try to find foods that are low in all 12? How do we balance it all out for the best results?
Peanuts are, nutritionally speaking, nuts. However, it's true that they're botanically viewed as legumes, since they grow in a pod. By the way, almonds and walnuts are seeds contained inside a fruit.
Hi, Sweet Child! Botanically, peanuts are legumes, but nutritionally they have more in common with nuts. That is why they are included with nuts and seeds in the Daily Dozen.

Any general aches and pains I used to have are pretty much gone or very bearable now on a vegan diet. My theory is that fiber helps with chronic pain cause it helps waste products transit out in a timely manner.
I've been wfpb and vegan for over 5 years. I eat maybe 3x the amount of fiber as the average american and I still a dose of laxative on occasion I also drink lots of water (to the point where it became a problem)
Not a problem for people on whole plant-based diets? I beg to differ, in the case of some people who need to take iron supplements. I respect your work very much, but I think that statement is a bit over-reaching.

please explain to me why there is even a video for vegans about constipation if you shouldn't suffer from it because of the high fibre in the vegan diets?? Look to me constipation is huge in the high fibre vegan communities 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do have mild constipation anyway even though I'm vegan and eat 50g fiber a day minimum (usually closer to 80-90g). I poop once every two-three days, which is how it's always been even before I started eating healthy a few years ago. To be fair the stool is a lot softer now so at least I don't have to strain, but it seems that higher fiber intake doesn't actually increase frequency.
@@孤独の観測者-o7e It won't cause more frequency. Think about the role of fibre....mmm... to give bulk to the stool. Now where in life would you want to bulk something up and make it bigger to fit through a small hole... if you're bulking it up you're making it LARGER not smaller to pass through the same small hole

High fiber diets are also good to help you have less anxiety and boost mood because fiber helps feed good gut bacteria.

@Julie Levesque It's truly amazing how most people underestimate all the benefits of fiber. 🙂
Have you figured out how much daily fiber you consume?
this channel is precious! I wish the many people watch it and benefit from such valuable information and guidance!
This video really made me think about how society underestimates the importance of fiber (especially, as the video mentions, the life saving benefits of it).
Fiber is your gut bacteria’s best fuel! Healthy tummy makes a healthy body!
straining on the toilet as a risk for stroke is pretty crazy.
Literally sh *it your brains out.
It's sound crazy but it's true. I have had one case of this example in my family 😞

Very interesting. Too bad people just won't listen most of the time. Plant food diet is the best way to go.

What about straining while lifting weights ?

This is why so many elderly people are found dead in the toilet, including my uncle's wife.

@@smilebot484 They never stay on the toilet. They're dead so they fall off.
Also Elvis, but it was his heart. I didn't see if they examined his brain as well but it wouldn't surprise me if he had a rupture there too.

Perhaps I missed it, did Dr Greger say how much fiber one should consume daily?
Eat your veggies.
Do you consume the daily dozen, foods highest in: Arsenic, Gliadin, Furocoumarins, Cesium, Oxalates, Goitrogens, Serpins, Solanines, Cyanide, Thallium, Bergapten and Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids. Should we keep eating foods high in these 12 or try to find foods that are low in all 12? How do we balance it all out for the best results?
Someone asked me why I didn't include Lectins in the daily 12 and I said that was not useful, if you cook them you have nothing worry about.
What about peanuts? I have heard that peanuts are considered as an type of legumbres. If it's true what about their fiber and daily dose?🤔🥜
Peanuts are, nutritionally speaking, nuts. However, it's true that they're botanically viewed as legumes, since they grow in a pod. By the way, almonds and walnuts are seeds contained inside a fruit.
One thing I've learned from horticulture is the naming/classification of plants can be confusing and sometimes prone to errors
