It’s so good to see medical experts like Dr. Malhotra making such sensible, accessible connections between nutrition and health. He deconstructs myths with class. He’s not preachy and he doesn’t pull rank. He makes sense! I particularly like that Dr. Malhotra talks about food instead of isolated nutrients.
To answer the man's question about high blood pressure. I cut out all processed foods, junk foods, sugars, starches, starch veg, grains, pasta, artificial sweeteners, fast foods. If it comes in a box or package, I don't eat it. I eat only whole foods: unadulterated meats and fish, eggs, whole above-the-ground vegetables, some fruits, berries are best, plain nuts, pickles, olives, avocado. Also intermittent fasting daily, some extended fasting, too. I did this to reverse type 2 diabetes, but my blood pressure returned to normal and I got off all prescription drugs. Went from obese to normal weight. One caveat, you can't ever go back to eating the old way. This is a permanent life change for me which gave me excellent health. From poor health to excellent health by dietary changes. It is wonderful.
I have know about intermittent fasting and low carb eating for years. Now at 82 I am, for whatever reason, ready to live this way. I have been losing weight and feel so much better but my blood pressure is still in need of reduction. One goal is to get my blood pressure down to 120/54 without meds. My lower number is already there. So reading your story is encouraging. My cholesterol numbers and amazingly good but my dr wants me on statins simply because of my age. I am still deciding whether to go with his recommendation or with what I know about this whole field. I have been reading books, watching videos and actually looking at the research to confirm the various claims. And I see no reason to take statins based on any good study.
Oh boy - the efforts some of us dietitians had to even get food and health on a hospital agenda!!! How good that doctors finally grasping that food choice has an impact on health outcomes. Progress. Healthy plate may well be fine for those who are ‘healthy’ but a low carb diet known to be of benefit in those with central obesity and insulin resistant. All about individualised care. And getting rid of the sugar. Been following Malhotra,s work for several years now. Thank you for getting the word out.
In the U.S. I found one commercial bread that does not contain added sugar--Oroweat Jewish Rye All other breads taste too sweet to me. Cold pressed olive oil is great, but most olive oil in the supermarket have been adulterated with seed oils.
Thanks Aseem, I accept what you have been saying.what bewilders me is the traditional Indian Parsi diet, which is hi in saturated fats, meat and and eggs, yet the longevity of the members of this community defies dietary logic.
When Dr Weston Price toured the world almost 100 years ago he discovered 9 native diets that produced amazing wellness among millions of people. In each community where the native diets had been replaced by a western variety, ill health followed. Signs of poor wellness are poor teeth, CV issues, obesity, being medicated, suffering colds and flu's and general gut problems. Those who choose to remain loyal to a traditional diet will suffer few health issues thru their entire life. I also once suffered many ills until I also dumped the western diet, I have not been sick since.
Unbelievable stuff, I am a pediatrician and it feels had I been a Internal medicine or GP I would be criminally negligent towards patients by advocating the opposite of what should be eaten as therapeutic Way to resolve most chronic disease. I’m researching for my own diagnosis of insulin resistance and discovered how flawed the system has been and still is. Would have never known otherwise. My colleagues in other fields need to seriously change their ways.
@39:41 part of the issue with cholesterol as I understand it is human beings make cholesterol as well as likely consume an amount. So the fixation on "dietary" cholesterol without acknowledging innate production misses the boat. That said, if you consume none (a la a vegan lifestyle) you can at least determine your unique production level. Appreciate you keeping this channel online here!
I have had 2 TIAs in the past. I eat the med diet, all organic from a local farm Very little dairy, organic lamb, organic chicken loads of green veg sweet ptatos and squashes My doctor put me on a low dose statin and clopidogral. I never take medication, my cholestral is very low. The dr says its preventative medicine. I am frightened to have another TI A so dont know what to do Any advice would be really helpfu I do take supplements under the care of a nutritionist Many thanks Hazel goldberg
@@HealthHackers The Pioppi Diet has in fact saved my mothers life. She is in her late 70s and was really obese. She lost almost 30 kg(!!!) and leads a light life now. So thanks again for your valuable work. Be blessed and stay healthy.
"Truth versus money" how true, but with regards as to who the messenger is concerned, I would say it is more what makes sense. If someone is saying something that doesn't work and is indeed counterproductive, how can it be true? Example "low fat" makes you lose weight, this has been around for 50 years and during this time everyone has got much fatter.
Dr Richard Bernstein, in his seminal book “Dr Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution”, first published in 1997, advocates a total daily intake of 20g carbohydrate, from non starchy vegetables, and adequate protein and fat. There is a nice paragraph with the heading “The big fat lie”. Why has it taken twenty three years for the rest of the medical profession to start catching up?!
Who is he talking to you? Likely someone who doesn't cook, modify their lifestyle based on science or really care until they get a life altering diagnosis and a med prescription to ameliorate a lifetime of poor habits. So in that realm, the cheese snack is better than say "cheetos" for example. Otherwise, yes, I totally agree with you! Another thing to find out is what is a snack: some folks start with the whole bag per day while this doc might have in mind a 1 oz portion or less daily...
What a great 1st episode. You got a new subscriber from it 4 years later! Completely stood the test of time and now he's standing up to the c19/vax garbage.
My opinion is that this man is the genuine article, a thoughtful and honest person. I have watched and read presentations by so many snake oil salesmen and self-proclaimed experts that my head feels like it's going to explode sometimes. Aside from his book, which he only very modestly promotes, he's not trying to sell us anything or push some self-serving agenda. To the contrary, he has dedicated his life to serving humanity through his intelligence and honesty. There is no one answer to health nor one magic potion that will deliver it, rather an overall approach to a healthy lifestyle. In my opinion, he has very pragmatically and intelligently presented the components of a healthy lifestyle. No extremism nor crackpot science, just intelligence, experience and common sense. Believing that the medical establishment can repair us after a lifetime of unhealthy habits is unrealistic, and this man knows it.
And what state is your health? I found these videos recently and am pleased so see he is trying to change things in the UK and Europe. Dr Joel Wallach is doing the same.
I agree...and an Australian physician gave a really good public lecture on how the results of eating high carbohydrates increase over our age, despite eating the same amount. Which is scary. His lecture is published on TH-cam.
Maybe the phenom is "I am tired all the time (says 60+ year old person), I need energy. What always gives me energy? Ahhh, that's better now I can get back to my ". Another aspect maybe the folks who lived a very repressed life (during their adult working years they cared for their appearance, kept weight down if it crept up, played sports on weekends, etc. but all for vanity's sake) and in older age they now feel justified in living it up (you see these folks at the casinos, on cruise ships, in tourist busses, at ayce buffets, etc.). The "heck, we all have to die of something" crowd. They travel in groups and their behaviors and attitudes are reinforced by the group (so think of the 5:00 pm martini crowd or the 4pm reduced price Sr buffet crowd or the really scary folks who are acquiring STDs as senior citizens --- not against sex per se just want them to use protection!). A lifestyle dedicated to whiling away the hours and not contributing to the community because you've earned the option and have the resources for it --- the long vacation. And of course the young people around them who have the new knowledge and are flexible of mind don't want to socialize with these folks so they are left together by default. Pretty predictable if you ask me. Sad, but predictable. Other pthings that are predictable: higher rates of depression, dementia, financial woes...Old age is not for everyone it turns out. Another thing folks have to battle is their nostalgia for the good ol days when they either ate donuts every day and it have not negative effect or they were too poor and couldn't afford the donuts that they see in the store now and buy at $1.25 a pop. It is a challenging problem. How do you motivate these folks? They may claim to have value for human life but are unwilling to do what it takes to enhance their own longevity. They saw grampa die in his 60s and assume that is their lot too. They saw the list of meds gramma had to take and how she had to live in a nursing home and wither away due to loneliness...they say that's not for me. They cannot fathom an alternative just what they are rejecting. No imagination. No hope, no glimmer of humor. Just waiting to join all the deceased loved ones on the other side.
Robert Lustig in US has made all these same points about Ancell Keys. And is equally vehement about cutting sugar. As was Yudkin back in the 1960s!! NACNE have a lot to answer for. And what about that boat shaped curve about the effect of exercise: from completely sedentary to about 15 - 30 mins walking has an appetite suppressant effect. Increasing exercise associated with increased appetite particularly at the extreme end - that bath shape. And doesn,t activity increase HDL? So Movement makes sense. And exercise ‘potentiates the action of insulin’, so that helps the insulin resistant. The Pioppi diet / authentic Mediterranean diet is a poor man,s diet. Uk is daily feasting on sugar. Dr Unwin also has data to show low sugar helps with blood pressure.

NO Statins ever!! Pure poison
Get vit D to 60-80ng 150-200nmol to be healthy with your diet

Low carb? Lots of veg? And the special properties of excellent spices!

He also emphasized sunlight and Vit D!! Diet withou D won’t do it

I make a 'bread' from porridge oats, natural yoghurt, baking powder & olive oil :)
Sounds yummy!
aah.... this was all filmed pre-covid - just when you thought you couldn't trust the "expert advice" any less, then they pulled that banger! lol
What a great interview. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
I watch this Dr. often. I have had 2 heart attacks, 74 yr. Old male. LAD blocked. Do I need to take meds. For ever?
I have had 2 TIAs in the past. I eat the med diet, all organic from a local farm
Very little dairy, organic lamb, organic chicken loads of green veg sweet ptatos and squashes
My doctor put me on a low dose statin and clopidogral. I never take medication, my cholestral is very low. The dr says its preventative medicine.
I am frightened to have another TI A so dont know what to do
Any advice would be really helpfu
I do take supplements under the care of a nutritionist
Many thanks

Ah, a new diet? As usual, new wine in old barrels ... I wish you a lot of money with celling your book!
Not a diet, a way of life as proven by residents of Pioppi. I wish YOU luck if you are eating the US and U.K. recommended diet.
I do not think that it is new, it seems to be at least a few hundred years old

I think if you are consuming animal products the health of the animals is key
organic feed that is actual grass fed,…pastured raised etc.

Hello
Why do vegans who eat lots of carbs get less diabetes?
I know vegans there over weight..Diabetics like me can't eat carbs
@@colinmurray9384 Vegans do get less diabetes.
In your opinion! And you believe? Cheeky!

Walk10 kilometers daily. Do whatever you like. You will be fine. Dr Aseem should practice this.
