      She's a wise woman. Although many people can live long lives on a meat diet, a fruit and vegetable diet with herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, and mushrooms, is ideal for optimum health. Cooked food can lead to problems down the road. Some foods can be soaked overnight like nuts and legumes to make them more nutritious.

    Well, I love tomatoes and used to eat them daily. Cherry tomatoes were my ‘drive by’ snack: whenever I came in the kitchen, I’d grab a few.
    But I have been suffering from osteo-arthosis in all my joints and.the pain was hindering my every day activities, especially in my hands. I searched hard online for natural relief and came up with some contradicting statements about tomatoes and joint pain and inflamtion. Some said tomatoes had no influence on that others said it was the first thing to strike from my diet.
    So I decided to do the test and stopped eating tomatoes for a month. Last day was yesterday.
    Now I know FOR SURE that tomatoes are BAD for my joints! Very bad.
    I have hardly any pain in my hands, the swelling is a lot less and I don’t have to take any painkillers anymore.
    All I can say is: eating no more tomatoes sure works for me!

      I too experienced the same. After I came to know that nightshade vegetables contain lectins, especially tomatoes, I stopped eating them. I had arthritis in my hips and could hardly climb the stairs. After cutting those vegetables, I started noticing improvements in my movements. Six months after avoiding them, I could climb the stairs easily without any pain. So, it worked for me. Different bodies have different dispositions; what one works for one may not work for others.

    • @ranakeen9884

      Yes but you were eating them raw!? COOKING tomatoes alters the chemical composition and allows the licopine (sp) to be more easily digested by the body. Cooking of many vegetables have the same effect in which they become more easily absorbed and digested by the body.

Serve with orange slices and sautéed collard greens in olive oil & garlic. Place one leaves on top of each other, roll the collard greens like a cigar & cut very thin, than sautéed, but don’t over cook. No more then five minutes on medium heat. Cook Lentils, in chicken or vegetable broth & water. Add a little diced carrots, bay leaf, onions, garlic.

    Tomatoes, potato, eggplant may aggravate joint inflammation pain. Doctors are not taught how to cook in medical school. They usually do not know or recommend traditional culinary herbs and spices that are added to cooking to reduce inflammatory damage. Many traditional recipes that cooks, not doctors, know contain these cooling herbs and spices such as cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, mint, dill, tarragon, oregano and others. Ask your Gramma how she cooks her spaghetti sauce. And serve inflammatory or gout producing foods with greens to help balance the effects.

    • @Be.Optimal
      @Be.Optimal  26 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      There’s some debate about tomatoes and other nightshades (like peppers, eggplants, and potatoes) in relation to arthritis due to their lectin content. Lectins are proteins that can cause inflammation in sensitive individuals. However, research is mixed. While some people with arthritis find relief by avoiding these foods, others have no issues. If you notice symptoms after eating tomatoes, consider removing the skins and seeds or eliminating them from your diet to see if it helps. Always consult your doctor before making significant dietary changes.

      For managing CLL, focus on a diet rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods. Include leafy greens, berries, turmeric, garlic, and omega-3-rich foods like salmon or walnuts. Avoid processed foods and added sugars. Regular exercise, such as walking or yoga, can help boost immunity and reduce fatigue. Consult with your doctor before making major dietary or exercise changes.

      Tomatoes contain lectins, which some believe may aggravate arthritis. However, they are also rich in anti-inflammatory compounds like lycopene. Cooking reduces lectin content, potentially allowing you to enjoy their benefits safely. If tomatoes worsen your symptoms, consider limiting them, but if tolerated, their nutritional value might outweigh the concerns. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

      Tomatoes, potato, eggplant may aggravate joint inflammation pain. Doctors are not taught how to cook in medical school. They usually do not know or recommend traditional culinary herbs and spices that are added to cooking to reduce inflammatory damage. Many traditional recipes that cooks, not doctors, know contain these cooling herbs and spices such as cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, mint, dill, tarragon, oregano and others. Ask your Gramma how she cooks her spaghetti sauce. And serve inflammatory or gout producing foods with greens to help balance the effects.

      @@stephenmanley2012 In case people don't know how to do this, plunge whole tomatoes into boiling water for a minute, then drain, and cool under cold running water. Make a small nick in the skin of each tomato, and it will be easy to remove the skin. Cut them open and dig out the seeds with your finger or a small spoon. I like to do this in a sieve over a bowl so that the seeds stay in the sieve and the gelatinous juice can be saved.

      If mushrooms and beans cause inflammation, replace mushrooms with zucchini, eggplant, or tofu, and beans with lentils, quinoa, or sweet potatoes. These alternatives provide similar nutrients and are generally easier to digest. Opt for low-FODMAP foods, cooked vegetables, and smaller, frequent meals to reduce digestive stress and inflammation. Consult a dietitian for personalized guidance.

    • @Be.Optimal
      @Be.Optimal  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Avoiding mushrooms after cancer isn't supported by science. In fact, mushrooms like shiitake and reishi have potential anti-cancer properties due to compounds like beta-glucans that support the immune system. They may even slow tumor growth and enhance treatments. However, consult with a healthcare provider to ensure they're safe for your specific condition and treatment plan.

Additionally, olive oil and green tea can help reduce inflammation associated with arthritis.

      Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, are packed with nutrients and offer numerous health benefits. However, they contain compounds called goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function, particularly in people with iodine deficiency. Cooking these vegetables reduces goitrogen levels, making them safer to eat. For most people, moderate consumption of cooked cruciferous vegetables is not harmful and can be part of a healthy diet.

      Tomatoes contain oxalates, but they are relatively low compared to other foods like spinach or rhubarb. For most people, the oxalate content in tomatoes isn't high enough to cause kidney stones. However, if you're prone to kidney stones or have a history of them, it's wise to monitor your overall oxalate intake. Enjoying tomatoes in moderation is usually safe, but if you're concerned, consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice

      Complex carbs are not the same as simple sugar carbs. Complex carbs don’t cause blood sugar issues, b/c they are high in fiber, which increases your gut bacteria and scrub your intestinal wall. I do see how anyone can eat meat only without complex carbs. It’s not a sustainable balanced diet nor does it make sense.
