Oh my goodness, people can be so ungrateful. He is a renowned doctor and a researcher who is giving of his time to advise people on how to improve their health and takes the time to explain the hows and whys. I have watched him being interviewed by many well known health experts , some on you tube and I am familiar with his books too. If I don’t have the time, I flag it so I can watch it later. There are a lot less important things in life and in you tube that I am sure a lot of us watch. I for one, am very grateful.
@@lanipham9992 Exactly correct, whether it is the insurance company’s quotas, or their business model, it is had to find a doctor who spends the time. What has really surprised me with the complaints are the number of people complaining. It is discouraging. I hope Dr. Li doesn’t get tired of reading the comments.
Dr Li, pay no attention to the haters complaining about video length. I appreciate you taking the time to share your expert knowledge with the masses. Because I truly care about health and nutrition, I always enjoy your videos, no matter how long 💪🏼🙏 😊
Its his explanations that made me change. Dr Li may be saving the NHS from an overload of patients at near death where neither the patient nor the hospital knows what to do. Or how they got there. i appreciate these explanations.
If you find his videos long winded? Just pause it and get back to later. No need to complain about all the wonderfull information he is giving all of us for free 🤫
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Li's videos! No distracting MUSIC or backgrounds, just LOVE listening to him explain these topics so EVERYONE can understand what he is talking about! I have his books too!
Are you kidding ? Dr William is explaining, in depth, the reasoning behind his recommendations to improve your health. He demonstrates a keen intellect, combined with common sense . Frankly, I find it essential to understand the reasoning of any health practitioner, as to why they recommend any kind of medication, behavior or procedure . If your time is so precious, don’t watch his channel .
He is a highly respected doctor and researcher who generously dedicates his time to guiding people on ways to improve their health, patiently explaining the "hows" and "whys" behind his advice. We've seen him interviewed by many well-known health experts, including on TH-cam, and we are familiar with his insightful books as well. With so many less meaningful things to spend time on-both in life and on TH-cam-we are genuinely grateful for his wisdom and dedication!
I can speak for myself. I have watched videos of many doctors on TH-cam regarding nutrition, and the way you explain things is by far more clear, precise and professional. Thank you for taking the time to share with us your professional insights about nutrition. I appreciate your LONG videos so much, that I watch the same video over and over again until everything sinks in. Much appreciated. Thank you. I am grateful😊
F#7~~long ago in college days F5/D5 you could measure my hand by the style of my play F5/D5 hitch-hiking home when the dollars ran low F5/D5 I had little to do nothing to say F5/D5
Wow, Dr Li, thank you for you advice. I agree with the rest, you have a way of explaining things to that make sense . I watched a lot of Drs. and you make it easy to understand. You get right to it, I want to thank you again, I've learned more from two of your videos than all the others I have watched. And you're not trying to sell something. You're the best. I hope you have a wonderful day. 😊
I found this video by accident, well I thought by accident :), but God always looks after me when I pay attention. This is an amazing video, wonderful information and to know there is a simple solution to help with my liver and weight health is so encouraging. There is no greater feeling of relief than knowing I can take control of my health and count on myself to make a difference in my health future. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain the way our body functions with each item, that helps me process the reason. Thank you, Dr. Li, for putting yourself out there and making a difference in our lives.

First time subscriber came accross your channel & ❤️ love your content very true information keep up your great 👍 job Dr. Li God bless you!!!
Thank you Dr. I’m at 70-year-old man in the Philippines retired from the USA 5’5” tall 130 pounds. I walk about 7 miles a day sometimes every other day I love the information you are bringing to the world thank you so much.
Why consult a doctor when we have health guru on every second video we watch. I have tried some of these healthy recommendations, and not all of them work.
Nitrition is not taught in medical schools. They are taught how all the organs in the body functions and what drug they should recommend if there's a problem. It's a shame that most doctors don't know much about healthy eating. Everyone has to be in touch with their bodies and care of it accordingly.
I listen to Dr Li nearly every single day. He helps keep me on track. The better I understand how the marvelous human body works, the better I know how to take care of it. Thank you Dr Li! 💜
Dr Li is very knowledgeable n he explains the difficult n complicated subjects into so simple explanation that is easy for normal people to understand. Bravo to Dr Li.❤
Dr Li I watch your videos over and..over again. Thank you for taking the time of explaining your valuable information. For the viewers that do not want to learn get new information or learn the RATIONALE OF HIS FANTASTIC INFORMATIO, he shares with us then it's very easy just stay away and leave DR LI alone we want to learn we want to take care of our health.I immensely appreciate all the valuable information you share with us.God bless you.
I think tea bothers allot of folks because many people dunno their tea bags up and down releasing tannins. Place the tea bag in your hot water and let it rest for the minutes undisturbed. Remove the bag and your tea will be far less bitter.
@@JMeg-gj5zi the issue I have is there is a thousand of these faith healers on the net, none ever seem to have anything but their own good assurances that they have the secret and the cure is almost unmeasurable and could take years before you know there were or were not results
I’ve recently been diagnosed with NAFLD and recognize there are many daily habits I need to change. I appreciate your in-depth explanation of how our liver functions and the relationship to excess fat. The more I understand the easier it is to find and stick to those healthy lifestyle changes that will benefit me most. Thank you for giving so freely of your time to share your knowledge and expertise with us. ❤
Milk thistle has been researched to reduce fatty liver and improve liver health . Of course it cannot be patented and comes in the way of a pipeline of high cost pharmaceutical products that will be soon marketed for NAFLD.
Sry didn't read other comments. But they're not wrong. I Have Ankylosing spondylitis and myeloma both are hard on your liver I also have borderline diabetes. Coconut oil crosses the blood barrier and goes to the liver as fuel. Using castor oil packs over the liver with or without heat helps fatty liver. All good foods no sugar. Use pure honey pure maple syrup good fruits. All anti inflammatory foods help
sugar in the form of carbohydrates, especially wheat bread, noodles, rice, and any sodas are what cause this. eliminate those things, especially after menopause. You're welcome.
What a gem! Those who just want the "what" are not looking for lasting change through learning and understanding the "why". So grateful for this information!
Dr. Li, as a patient with fatty liver disease I appreciate your advice so much. This is much better advice than my doctors have provided which is actually very little. 🕊👏🏆🕊💝
@@ClaireRahmeall you can do for cancer is to completely eliminate your processed food intake and bad sugar intake because cancer cells feed on these, eat a lot of foods with antioxidant’s, fruits and veggies should be 90% of your diet, get your fats from plants avocado nuts blend them up make smoothies. A pastor our family knows lost his wife to a difficult battle with cancer, she faded and got weaker before his eyes even thought he did everything to care for her, they were taking like b vitamin shots, things like that ❤ she went home to Lord eventually. Don’t fear it. ❤
I have a large cup of black organic coffee every morning 90 minutes after waking up. I don't break my fast until noon, eat dinner between 5 and 6 and repeat the cycle.
You got it. I wish I could do that. I put creamer in my coffee. I'm not satisfied with black coffee. I have been on a mission to find coffee I could drink black.
I am so excited to learn from this video. I’m 63 years old and I walk 5 miles or a little more every week. I also do light weight work outs 3 times a week. I’m having trouble getting my hormone belly to go away and realize it’s probably more insulin resistance or fatty liver. Blood test results indicate no trouble with the liver, but now I know that I can probably help myself by drinking more green tea. I will definitely look out for that watermelon juice also. Look forward to learning more from you 👍🏼
Thank you Dr. Li for teaching us to help ourselves through food to reverse some health issues and help begin healing our body from different ailments . You are a kind soul using your knowledge and your expertise to help. Again, thank you.
When I had my belly ultrasound, it showed a fatty liver, but my doctor didn’t even say anything about it. Doctors only treat you when you already have the symptoms. We should take charge of ourselves.
Dr Li, I have learned so much from your videos. I look for a longer one to listen to pm my walks or bike rides. With intermittent fasting and your advice on food, I have lost 40 lbs in 2 years, my skin glows and I look 20 years younger. Btw, I am 72 and can put work any of my kids or grandkids!! Also, I love to cook and have added in so many healthy choices for my family. I still cook for a family of 5 and we have family dinner every night. Thank you
Dr. Li, I cannot thank you enough for this video and your many newsletters (I am now a subscriber). This detailed and easy to understand 45-min video addressed many of my pressing questions on how to improve/reverse my health conditions. To be honest, it provided me much more information than what I got from a combination of endocrinologist, GI specialist and dietitians/nutritionists consultations in the past 3 months!! Dr. Li, I am so grateful to you and glad my researches lead me to you!
Dr. Lee thanks for taking your valuable time to educate people on healthier ways to live. I'm 68 and still trying. Many things you've identified as scary are concerning, are no longer a part of my menu!
Thanks so much. I love green tea, matcha as well as coffee and watermelon. Watermelon is also good for our brain and delicious when you blend it with basil. Wishing everyone a healthy & happy life!
(4X Marathon watching this video). 12:32pm Wednesday October 2, 2024. Great Lakes, Illinois. Thank you. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE. I needed this PUNCH IN THE FACE! I am over weight. Type 2 diabetic. And was just told my LFT’s are high. I am 63 yrs old. I am changing my life and also fighting to grow old healthier! I am now subscribed to you and will LISTEN TO EVERYTHING YOU SHARE. Beyond grateful ❤
@@AJCsr been thinking on this for awhile now. I was recently using plastic spoons to do all my cooking at home so its a bit exaggerated but the amount of plastic I consumed in past was alarming. After 2 weeks the spoon would be half gone....where did it go....into my food. I threw out all my plastic utensils and cookware. I have a stainless steel pan and I use stainless steel fork and spoon and even spatula now. I still buy foods in plastic but I dont think that leaching amount for those foods is bad...especially not as bad as using plastic cooking and eating utensils.
Good for you dealwolf striker!! That's the formula +all organic, fresh fruits and veggies as much as possible!! My mom started out with (good, near surgical grade) stainless steel and glass cookware. Utensils too.." warning though" ...stay away from aluminium....it leaches into foods with heating...not good for your system either. Stay safe and much healthier !!!......and don't get me started on meats!!! The absolute (crap that's part of commercial animal feed)... it's sickening...corn for pen fed beef..cattle standing near waist deep in their own poo, and fed a grain that makes them sick..as they can't really digest it. Sooo they pump them full of antibiotics...and growth hormones to speed up the birth to table time. We're eating that??!! Same with chickens. Only safe meats are organic and grass fed.... Nuff said. You'll notice a difference all round within a year if you go the extra mile. You may even notice a sluggishness or uneasy stomach after a time when you give in to that fast food burger you haven't had in 6mo. The adverse reaction to overused fry oils and additives??!!
Great teaching video. When a person knows how the body works versus just quote unquote cutting to the chase like some people are commenting, lasting changes can occur. Some people just want the ingredients versus the entire recipe. Thank you for your educational knowledge.
You can also cook with tea. I toast quinoa, then cook it with brewed lapsang souchang (a smoked, black tea from China). You can also make rice, miso ramen, oats, basically anything you cook with water by substituting all or part of the water with tea. It’s fun to play with the various possibilities. Soak steel cut oats in earl grey overnight and serve with cherries, cacao chips, and pistachios. Add any other favorite smoothie add-ons (chia and hemps seeds, saffron, berries). Have fun with it!
I use green tea in a terrific salad dressing: Blend 2 tbsp mugi miso, 1/4 cup warm green tea, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1.5 tbsp tamari, one minced small onion, 1 pressed clove of garlic, a dash of cayenne, and 1/2 cup olive oil. Sometimes I add fresh grated ginger and/or chopped cilantro before blending. You can mess around with the quantities to your taste. This also makes a good stir-fry sauce.
I thank you Dr. Li for all your expertise. I love your videos that talk about the science part of our body and how it reacts to foods. I am learning so much. I have only found your videos recently and can’t get enough . So many more people need to hear all you have to offer. And I appreciate you giving all this info free. Thank you for your kindness and caring for everyones health enough to make these videos. Your truly a good man.
What a wonderful gift. This sharing of all your knowledge is extremely generous and very much appreciated by so many of us folks. I shall be putting this advice to work immediately. Thank very much Dr Li.
I'm drinking fresh watermelon juice this morning and came across your channel! I love watermelon juice for the taste (of course) and the energy that it gives me. Now learning about the fat fighting power, WOW!!! I'm winning even more! You have another subscriber!
I buy watermelon on sale, cut it up, store it in the freezer and take out what I need for blending into a drink on hot, sunny days! Great video! I'm going to try green tea in the early evening and have my 4 cups of black coffee robusta during the day. I buy robusta beans grown and roasted here in Malaysia. I also get local green teas. Never knew they would help my waisteline.😊
Almost any country except here in the US our food, water and tea is full of poisons. Our wonderful corrupt government has been allowing our food and drug administration allow the corrupt companies to ass whatever the hell they want. 3 major cigarettes companies have been losing money due to people quitting smoking and so they bought food companies. This is the reason why smoking many Americans are obese and suffer from Gout and diabetes, and high blood pressure the list is very long and evil. There isn't a product we buy that isn't poison ☠. More and more people are growing their own vegetables and at minimum have chickens and getting their meat and eggs. And the corrupt government is now trying to tax American citizens on their own food. 😢
Brilliant! I buy watermelon too, but one mistake I was, apparently, making was cutting up the fruity part only and throwing away the white parts on the skin away. It turns out that it is the most potent part of the melon. So now I throw away only the skins in my garden, and blend the fruit,the seeds and the white part together.
My acupuncturist (doctor from China) had me stop green tea because I have issues with my stomach. I do drink Oolong, black tea and just began drinking Pu-Erh which I find I like the best of all of them. I'm a coffee person but have been drinking tea for overall health issues. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great video! I just had two MRIs done for my liver. My enzymes were high. Liver was fine, doctor just told me to lose weight, which I'm doing. Now we have to address a gall stone that he found. Drinking green tea with lemon and oolong tea. We are fortunate to have filtered well water. Converting my food storage containers to glass. I am reading your EAT TO BEAT YOUR DIET book.
Warm water with lemon juice, after taking a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach. Wait a few minutes and drink your tea. I have had good results from that.
consider castor oil packs , test for bile (chances are great you are low and that will help - you'll only get help from integrative doctors and nurse practitioners. Get out of the system, and no, it's not covered, and yes, you'll thank me later. or not :) And that's okay. I went into debt and poverty to get better, but when you're that ill, you have no choice)
Thank you for reminding me to buy fresh pineapple. It is delicious! I like it for its taste and enzymes. I read that the liver can continue to make gall stones.
I am really glad that you talked about the environmental consequences of plastic bottles. Now I really hope that you will remember to think about it when you are about to bottle up your medicine, supplements and vitamines !
hard to avoid at all times. one of the things i thought about a long time ago is plastic nappies. the should make them out of bamboo or something eco, and that you have to buy the outer pants and wash those. intead of throwing all the plastic in the dump. it would degrade a lot faster without that.
this just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark. It has been censored.
Yes, better get all the information you need ASAP. They are changing info, definitions, and restricting info that is helpful. If DT doesn't win, it will be over. They will ban whatever they choose.
I did the same after reading "Eat to Beat Disease". My friend developed breast cancer - I sent a book to her and one for me. I read it and conveyed the info to her if she wasn't up to reading. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I'm still following his diet. I've also lost 27 pounds!
Dr. Li, ❤❤❤I love your videos and have a few of your books. I am Whole foods plant based, low sodium, no added oil or sugar where possible. I find your information invaluable for understanding the complexities of diet and lifestyle health concerns. It is so good to know that you are on top of the latest research to dispel common myths. I am trying to build muscle, counting my protein and trying to reduce inflammation. I think I might be skinny fat due to desk work. I am trying to somehow improve my health with the help of my primary and other specialists. Thanks again. BTW I was not on this diet until recently. I was on the SAD diet (standard American diet) most of my life.
Hi Dr Li, just want to thank you for all the amazing studies on the foods we eat,!! I love researching foods as well!! I listen to you just about every day and always learn something new to incorporate into my lifestyle. I'm a vegan, but I think it's so cool that you don't dictate to anyone what is right for them!! I have to also tell you that you are the best teacher...you make all of the systems in our bodies so easy to understand,!! I think you're great!! Keep up the good eork and just know how appreciated you are. All the best for you and your family 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤ I was an elementary school teacher and I wish more teachers could be like you.,!!!
I've read that commercial watermelons are injected with red food dye and sugar/sweeteners to make them look more appealing. They said to look out for strange lumps or bumps or minute injection holes at the stem end of the watermelon. Our food is so adulterated these days I find it easy to believe this is done. Nowadays I try and buy my food from small farms bc something def isn't right with our 'fresh' food.
@milliealford8968 I've returned three grocery-store bought watermelons 🍉 this summer, that were under-ripe ! They sell what looks like ripened ones in only sliced options, that are approximately $10 per half a watermelon ! That's $20 for a ripened watermelon !
I just discovered your channel and will be binge watching because your information is so valuable. I also appreciate your style of presentation and the fact that you take the time to explain things. Thank you.
Find green teas too bitter. Only drink pure white tea, no added milk or sugar...I cannot imagine life without it. Dr William Li always has so much knowledge, he is a wonderful doctor.
@@sweetfreedom999 If you don't have a way of accurately measuring the temperature of the water, you could try a 50-50 mix of boiling water and hot water straight from the tap. That should get you into a good safe zone for green teas. After that, try experimenting with brewing time and the amount of tea leaf you're using, Trust yourself . . . you'll be able to find through experimentation what works best for your preferences. Enjoy the process!
I cut out sugar, flour and seed oils after a scan showed (along with elevated liver enzymes) that i had NAFLD. Since then (December 7th) i cut out sugar first then seed oils and flour a few days later. My liver enzymes are now normal. I have a rescan of my liver in September. My triglycerides cut in half. Im down 36lbs. I cant imagine my liver didn't clean up... It better have lol. I have given up every food i enjoy
@@dianewalker7451 when health dictates such change it's much easier to stick to it. Had I just tried this "for the fun of it"?....I would've gave by now.. Thank you.
I never forget that I met a Japanese girl that told me that she used to be 300 lbs. She was a petite 5 feet tall, she told me that she started drinking green tea as much as possible every day and lost all her weight. She did not have the hanging skin around her at all. She used these big cups to drink her tea all day long. She looked great.
Thank you for a great video! My doctor's office made it sound like fatty liver was not a big deal since it's common. I'm looking forward to hearing about the foods that can help!
Fatty liver wasn't common I the past. I worked on a floor with many liver issues. Most were alcohol related. A few were caused by hepatitis. But that was it. Now fatty liver is everywhere. Something has changed.
Dr. Li, I really appreciate your detail in not only the explanations of the mechanism but also your descriptions of the solutions and the nuance added to all. This information is very comprehensive and it all helps my understanding to be complete. When you spell out certain words is extra good. Thanks.
Hey people with short attention spans, you can, with any video, click on the bottom left hand corner where it shows the length of the video. You can click on it and fast forward to the part you want to hear. It may take a few back and forth clicks to find the exact spot, but it can be done.😅 4:35 ❤
Thank u for taking time to make your videos They all so informative So educationally Im so grateful and appreciative I share them with my family and friends
I juiced several watermelons with some arugula, spinach and ginger and froze it in glass, juice shot containers. So good. I think green tea is bland. I toss the green tea bag in my morning coffee.
ensure you are not iron overloaded because the high oxalate spinach can be counter productive to dangerous. I harmed my thyroid with those greens. Eh, I do a lot of things the are "bland"....it's health and holiness :) No everything has to be tasty and pleasurable.
Thanks for all your videos; please ignore the criticism of length others keep complaining about: many of us appreciate the details & complete explanation.
I think tea bothers allot of folks stomachs because many people dunk their tea bags up and down in hot water, releasing tannins. Place the tea bag in your hot water and let it rest for the minutes undisturbed. Remove the bag and your tea will be far less bitter.
Thank you so much, Dr. Li for explaining everything and not talking as fast as some of the other Drs on you tube talk. I just found your channel, and I can actually understand what you are saying, I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you again.
A daily dose of Doctor Li helps keep me on track for a healthy diet and lifestyle. It helps me tremendously to know HOW my body works with foods I consume vs just being told what to eat (or not to eat) and when.
I agree. I use my body chasing goats, horse and chickens,dog. Then housework. At 68 9n 17th of August 2024. Make myself to move around. Ty Lord. Amen ty also for exercise to do
I'm so glad you're doing these videos Dr. Li. So many of us have been sent on "wild goose chases" even by members of those in medical community. Keep shining the light! ☀💕
To reverse beginnings of fatty liver ; cut out all sugars, processed foods, seed oils. Eat low carb and animal protein, exercise daily and above all intermittent fasting.
Dr. Li, I am very appreciative of your expertise, experience and obvious intelligence and understanding of food, vascular health and the power of food to heal our bodies. I enjoy your videos! You explain so well! I learn so much!!! Please do not shorten your videos because some people seem to have a short attention span. You are great, kind and noble. The way doctors should be!! Thank you so much for sharing your revolutionary work and research with us!!!
Me and my ex were talking about plastic. He thought plastic breaks down. I said it only breaks up, because it is an inorganic material. Then they found the plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. That was then. Now it is probably the size of the whole Midwest and then some. I believe there’s plastic in fat cells. I drank bottled water for eight years when I was homeless.
I know that plastics, really all petroleum products destroy progesterone, which destroys the balance you need between Estrogen and Progesterone. I read this in a book about menopause and why there are so many women with high Estrogen levels. I think the book was called something like “things your doctor hasn’t told you about menopause”. Loaned it and never got it back. It speaks about the use of creams made from Mexican yams which is a natural way to get Progesterone rather than getting progestin pills. I used the cream and it helped balance my body
The lycopene in tomatoes is greatly enhanced by cooking them for half an hour, and it is absorbed better if there's a little oil in the mix (like in a home made pasta sauce). The lycopene in watermelon isn't enhanced by cooking or oil.
I bought large neck Kombucha at Costco and saved the bottles to refill with filtered water and store it in the refrigerator. I just counted my bottles from yesterday: 12/16 oz bottles of cold water.
Thank you for the very interesting video, love it when doctors explain in language I understand. ❤

Some people really hate being educated.. this information is wonderful..truly appreciated since i have a moron for a doctor...I'm 71 and doing a ton a research to heal myself. I appreciate ths immensely ❤
Wow! thank you for all this amazing information. After a recent physical, I was diagnosed with Fatty liver disease. That's it. No other information. I asked my dr what to do about it (knowing the liver can regenerate) and she said "lose weight". See you in a year, pay at reception... So, this was super helpful. All the information was useful and the five drinks are sooooo easy to incorporate into an everyday diet. Thank you again.
While I was curious enough to watch because of the title, I'm not convinced about your liquid recommendations. To begin with, I've been a tea drinker for more than 60 years (4-10 cups/day), and I consume (during summer months) vast amounts of watermelon. None of these have helped with my NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) or the fact that I have vast amounts of internal scarring of my internal organs -- according to the doctor who removed my gall bladder. On the other hand, your mention of symptoms did provide a source of questioning I want to bring up with my doctor at my next appt: itchy skin and pain/tenderness in the area around my waist. While my blood tests didn't find anything wrong with my liver, I know now I want to revisit this topic with my primary. Thank you.
Great to hear! Dr Greger always recommends it but it’s been hard to find near me. I actually found it this week in a health food shop. Very happy about that. 😊
Excellent video, except one mistake near end, thirst is not necssarily going to be there to tell you to drink in time to prevent dehydration, especiating if you are exercising or hot. Also, in some people, hunger is signal in place of thirst.
The best video on TH-cam for those who want to understand fatty lever and how not to get it and if you have it , howto fix it. This is goldmine on fatty liver explanation.
Thank you for your advice, my doctor literally threw his hands up and told me there is nothing he can do to help me with my fatty liver. I’m now drinking tea and plenty of water. Hopefully I’ll start losing weight soon.
The video discusses the importance of the liver in detoxifying the body and the role of body fat accumulation in the liver. It explains how excess body fat can overwhelm the liver, leading to fatty liver disease. The video outlines five beverages that can help in burning body fat and reducing the impact on the liver: 1. Green Tea: Contains EGCG that activates Brown fat thermogenesis, helping to burn harmful body fat. 2. Coffee: Chlorogenic acid in coffee activates Brown fat thermogenesis, aiding in burning excess body fat. 3. Tomato Juice: Lycopene in tomatoes and tomato juice can activate Brown fat thermogenesis, assisting in fat burning. 4. Watermelon Juice: Watermelon, like tomatoes, contains lycopene and can help reduce body fat, specifically in homemade juice form. 5. Other teas like matcha, oolong, and pu tea are also mentioned for their fat-burning properties. The video emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy liver by reducing body fat through these beverages. Studies showing the effectiveness of these beverages in burning body fat and improving metabolic health are also discussed. Additionally, practical tips for consuming these beverages are provided, such as avoiding adding sugar to tea and using pure tomato juice. You’re welcome 😂🤣😂 47 mins wow this should be a short ! Doctor
Honestly, i wanted the fast and quick info.... but i just let it play out qs i was washing the dishes and it was WORTH the length. Thank you for this thorough information!
Dr Li, Absolutely brilliant video we are so lucky to have someone of your calibre take some valuable time out to help all of us. Im from Bangalore and your video is a revelation in understanding the actual mechanics behind our bodies. So well explained. Thank You and More Power to you. Pls do consider a video on anti-ageing/ supplements .
I am not over eating, not fat, not drinking alcohol, but was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver. How come? Why do I have this? Anyway appreciate the suggestions and hope to be able to get rid of this. Thank you Dr Li 🙏
Same here. I changed my diet. I removed all processed food in my diet. Basically I tried to eat whole foods as much as possible. My NAFLD was gone in a year.
1. Tea
Green Tea
Matcha
Oolong
English Breakfast
Pu-Erh Tea
2. Coffee
3. Tomato Juice
4. Watermelon Juice (homemade)
5. Water
thank-you for listing these--video way too long and detailed for me.
THANK YOU…THANK YOU…
Thank you
Yikes 😬
Thank you!
Oh my goodness, people can be so ungrateful. He is a renowned doctor and a researcher who is giving of his time to advise people on how to improve their health and takes the time to explain the hows and whys. I have watched him being interviewed by many well known health experts , some on you tube and I am familiar with his books too. If I don’t have the time, I flag it so I can watch it later. There are a lot less important things in life and in you tube that I am sure a lot of us watch. I for one, am very grateful.
@@lanipham9992 Exactly correct, whether it is the insurance company’s quotas, or their business model, it is had to find a doctor who spends the time. What has really surprised me with the complaints are the number of people complaining. It is discouraging. I hope Dr. Li doesn’t get tired of reading the comments.
So agree with you I really appreciate what his doing here so much info to learn!
It's just ignorance and it's also denial, a close ally.
Correct 😁💯
He can talk very long because he knows this subject he researched on unlike the other TH-camrs just copies info they read about.
Dr Li, pay no attention to the haters complaining about video length. I appreciate you taking the time to share your expert knowledge with the masses. Because I truly care about health and nutrition, I always enjoy your videos, no matter how long 💪🏼🙏 😊
👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏❤
Thank you, l couldn't agree with you more. Am pleased there's an audience that appreciates and are grateful ❤
Yes, I like to actually understand the science behind what I'm doing and why, rather than just blindly following a list! Thank You!!
Everyone one should be listening to you to have a healthier body
Its his explanations that made me change. Dr Li may be saving the NHS from an overload of patients at near death where neither the patient nor the hospital knows what to do. Or how they got there. i appreciate these explanations.
If you find his videos long winded? Just pause it and get back to later. No need to complain about all the wonderfull information he is giving all of us for free 🤫
True 👍
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Li's videos! No distracting MUSIC or backgrounds, just LOVE listening to him explain these topics so EVERYONE can understand what he is talking about! I have his books too!
He is invaluable. Tells it better than anyone else. If someone finds it long, maybe take it a bit at a time, take a nap.
Yes, he is giving you research and why how these foods work or not. Bonus he is not selling you anything.
You can also speed it up to 1.5 and still understand what he’s saying.
Are you kidding ? Dr William is explaining, in depth, the reasoning behind his recommendations to improve your health.
He demonstrates a keen intellect, combined with common sense . Frankly, I find it essential to understand the reasoning of any health practitioner, as to why they recommend any kind of medication, behavior or procedure . If your time is so precious, don’t watch his channel .
Awesome
For some reason I can't give thumbs up on any videos.
Some rather like watching videos on Tiktok glorifying fat people!
I agree! I truly can not believe he gives us so much of his time and knowledge for free. I appreciate his videos immensely.
@@kimig.8241 go somewhere else please
I don't care if your videos are 2 hours long .this is info to great health and those that are complaining keep it moving.
I absolutely agree. They are never too long
He is a highly respected doctor and researcher who generously dedicates his time to guiding people on ways to improve their health, patiently explaining the "hows" and "whys" behind his advice. We've seen him interviewed by many well-known health experts, including on TH-cam, and we are familiar with his insightful books as well. With so many less meaningful things to spend time on-both in life and on TH-cam-we are genuinely grateful for his wisdom and dedication!
I can speak for myself. I have watched videos of many doctors on TH-cam regarding nutrition, and the way you explain things is by far more clear, precise and professional. Thank you for taking the time to share with us your professional insights about nutrition. I appreciate your LONG videos so much, that I watch the same video over and over again until everything sinks in. Much appreciated. Thank you. I am grateful😊
me too He inspires me to fight on!
That's why I started to following him. Great and simple explanations.
F#7~~long ago in college days F5/D5 you could measure my hand by the style of my play F5/D5 hitch-hiking home when the dollars ran low F5/D5 I had little to do nothing to say F5/D5
Wow, Dr Li, thank you for you advice. I agree with the rest, you have a way of explaining things to that make sense . I watched a lot of Drs. and you make it easy to understand. You get right to it, I want to thank you again, I've learned more from two of your videos than all the others I have watched. And you're not trying to sell something. You're the best. I hope you have a wonderful day. 😊

I found this video by accident, well I thought by accident :), but God always looks after me when I pay attention. This is an amazing video, wonderful information and to know there is a simple solution to help with my liver and weight health is so encouraging. There is no greater feeling of relief than knowing I can take control of my health and count on myself to make a difference in my health future. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to explain the way our body functions with each item, that helps me process the reason. Thank you, Dr. Li, for putting yourself out there and making a difference in our lives.

Thank you Dr. I’m at 70-year-old man in the Philippines retired from the USA 5’5” tall 130 pounds. I walk about 7 miles a day sometimes every other day I love the information you are bringing to the world thank you so much.
That is what really doctors should always do teach the people to stay healthy! ❤great respect to you!❤
Why consult a doctor when we have health guru on every second video we watch. I have tried some of these healthy recommendations, and not all of them work.
If you teach them to be healthy, there is no money to be made!!!
Does one size fit everyone?
Absolutely agree.....😊
Nitrition is not taught in medical schools. They are taught how all the organs in the body functions and what drug they should recommend if there's a problem.
It's a shame that most doctors don't know much about healthy eating. Everyone has to be in touch with their bodies and care of it accordingly.
I listen to Dr Li nearly every single day. He helps keep me on track. The better I understand how the marvelous human body works, the better I know how to take care of it. Thank you Dr Li! 💜
Dr Li is very knowledgeable n he explains the difficult n complicated subjects into so simple explanation that is easy for normal people to understand. Bravo to Dr Li.❤
Dr Li I watch your videos over and..over again. Thank you for taking the time of explaining your valuable information. For the viewers that do not want to learn get new information or learn the RATIONALE OF HIS FANTASTIC INFORMATIO, he shares with us then it's very easy just stay away and leave DR LI alone we want to learn we want to take care of our health.I immensely appreciate all the valuable information you share with us.God bless you.
I want to say that if tea bothers people’s stomach they can put slices of ginger root in their tea, it’s great for a calming the stomach as well 😊
unless you have a stomach ulcer ... then it makes it worse .... peppermint is then the calming thats needed, ginger is stimulating digestion.
Coffee is much more troublesome to the stomach than tea
@@DevLearn-lv7nr Tea disturbed my sleep more than coffee though ... but Genmaicha is good for me. One coffee a day.
@@amandaholley8717 I don't have a ulcer. But I like drinking peppermint tea and Chamomile tea together it tastes great together.
I think tea bothers allot of folks because many people dunno their tea bags up and down releasing tannins. Place the tea bag in your hot water and let it rest for the minutes undisturbed. Remove the bag and your tea will be far less bitter.
The most informed and honest doctor.
His book is great.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with NAFLD and recognize there are many daily habits I need to change. I appreciate your in-depth explanation of how our liver functions and the relationship to excess fat. The more I understand the easier it is to find and stick to those healthy lifestyle changes that will benefit me most. Thank you for giving so freely of your time to share your knowledge and expertise with us. ❤
Milk thistle has been researched to reduce fatty liver and improve liver health . Of course it cannot be patented and comes in the way of a pipeline of high cost pharmaceutical products that will be soon marketed for NAFLD.
@@EllieGetsWell coconut oil feeds good fat to liver and milk thistle is great for the liver.
Sry didn't read other comments. But they're not wrong. I Have Ankylosing spondylitis and myeloma both are hard on your liver I also have borderline diabetes. Coconut oil crosses the blood barrier and goes to the liver as fuel. Using castor oil packs over the liver with or without heat helps fatty liver. All good foods no sugar. Use pure honey pure maple syrup good fruits. All anti inflammatory foods help
sugar in the form of carbohydrates, especially wheat bread, noodles, rice, and any sodas are what cause this. eliminate those things, especially after menopause. You're welcome.
What a gem! Those who just want the "what" are not looking for lasting change through learning and understanding the "why". So grateful for this information!
Dr. Li, as a patient with fatty liver disease I appreciate your advice so much. This is much better advice than my doctors have provided which is actually very little. 🕊👏🏆🕊💝
Listening to you helped save my life (from cancer).
Absolutely delighted to read this! Live a long, joyful life 🕊️
Please tell me how?
How please and what did you do?
This doctor wrote a book. Maybe the info is in it.
@@ClaireRahmeall you can do for cancer is to completely eliminate your processed food intake and bad sugar intake because cancer cells feed on these, eat a lot of foods with antioxidant’s, fruits and veggies should be 90% of your diet, get your fats from plants avocado nuts blend them up make smoothies. A pastor our family knows lost his wife to a difficult battle with cancer, she faded and got weaker before his eyes even thought he did everything to care for her, they were taking like b vitamin shots, things like that ❤ she went home to Lord eventually. Don’t fear it. ❤
I have a large cup of black organic coffee every morning 90 minutes after waking up. I don't break my fast until noon, eat dinner between 5 and 6 and repeat the cycle.

@@caroljensen2544 Try Mount Hagen Organic Fairtrade Coffee (instant). That's what I use.
Try brown sugar for the black coffee.
@@caroljensen2544😂 You can use heavy cream but no sweetners. Works very well for me.
@@caroljensen2544You can just add Stevia made by Splenda to make your black coffee taste delicious without cream or sugar! 😊
I am so excited to learn from this video.
I’m 63 years old and I walk 5 miles or a little more every week. I also do light weight work outs 3 times a week. I’m having trouble getting my hormone belly to go away and realize it’s probably more insulin resistance or fatty liver. Blood test results indicate no trouble with the liver, but now I know that I can probably help myself by drinking more green tea. I will definitely look out for that watermelon juice also.
Look forward to learning more from you 👍🏼
Thank you Dr. Li for teaching us to help ourselves through food to reverse some health issues and help begin healing our body from different ailments . You are a kind soul using your knowledge and your expertise to help. Again, thank you.
Thanks doc. This is enough information to develop a good protocol to reverse my fatty liver. My physician has never told me any of those things.
When I had my belly ultrasound, it showed a fatty liver, but my doctor didn’t even say anything about it. Doctors only treat you when you already have the symptoms. We should take charge of ourselves.
Beverages for Healthy Liver

2. Coffee

I love all this information. Its not enough to tell me to drink these 5 healthy things. I need to know WHY. This helps a lot.
I suggest that you buy Dr. Li' latest book. You can also do your own research from the information provided by video.
Debbieallen7160 "How to clean your live"
Debbieallen7160 I meant Liver!
Dr Li, I have learned so much from your videos. I look for a longer one to listen to pm my walks or bike rides. With intermittent fasting and your advice on food, I have lost 40 lbs in 2 years, my skin glows and I look 20 years younger. Btw, I am 72 and can put work any of my kids or grandkids!! Also, I love to cook and have added in so many healthy choices for my family. I still cook for a family of 5 and we have family dinner every night. Thank you
Dr. Li, I cannot thank you enough for this video and your many newsletters (I am now a subscriber). This detailed and easy to understand 45-min video addressed many of my pressing questions on how to improve/reverse my health conditions. To be honest, it provided me much more information than what I got from a combination of endocrinologist, GI specialist and dietitians/nutritionists consultations in the past 3 months!! Dr. Li, I am so grateful to you and glad my researches lead me to you!
Dr. Lee thanks for taking your valuable time to educate people on healthier ways to live. I'm 68 and still trying. Many things you've identified as scary are concerning, are no longer a part of my menu!
Thanks so much. I love green tea, matcha as well as coffee and watermelon. Watermelon is also good for our brain and delicious when you blend it with basil. Wishing everyone a healthy & happy life!
Wow watermelon and basil? You blew my mind
Not seedless watermelon. Gmo
Milk thistle and dandelion are beneficial as well.
They are great ‼️💡
Milk thistle very good

(4X Marathon watching this video). 12:32pm Wednesday October 2, 2024. Great Lakes, Illinois. Thank you. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE. I needed this PUNCH IN THE FACE! I am over weight.

I am now subscribed to you and will LISTEN TO EVERYTHING YOU SHARE. Beyond grateful ❤
That micro plastic information is huge. Everybody in the world should have to learn about this, even though they think they know.
Unfortunately, it makes no difference to know about micro-plastics if products don't come in glass containers anymore...
@@AJCsr been thinking on this for awhile now. I was recently using plastic spoons to do all my cooking at home so its a bit exaggerated but the amount of plastic I consumed in past was alarming. After 2 weeks the spoon would be half gone....where did it go....into my food. I threw out all my plastic utensils and cookware. I have a stainless steel pan and I use stainless steel fork and spoon and even spatula now. I still buy foods in plastic but I dont think that leaching amount for those foods is bad...especially not as bad as using plastic cooking and eating utensils.
Well, will you be sharing?😊
Good for you dealwolf striker!! That's the formula +all organic, fresh fruits and veggies as much as possible!! My mom started out with (good, near surgical grade) stainless steel and glass cookware. Utensils too.." warning though" ...stay away from aluminium....it leaches into foods with heating...not good for your system either. Stay safe and much healthier !!!......and don't get me started on meats!!! The absolute (crap that's part of commercial animal feed)... it's sickening...corn for pen fed beef..cattle standing near waist deep in their own poo, and fed a grain that makes them sick..as they can't really digest it. Sooo they pump them full of antibiotics...and growth hormones to speed up the birth to table time. We're eating that??!! Same with chickens. Only safe meats are organic and grass fed.... Nuff said. You'll notice a difference all round within a year if you go the extra mile. You may even notice a sluggishness or uneasy stomach after a time when you give in to that fast food burger you haven't had in 6mo. The adverse reaction to overused fry oils and additives??!!
Great teaching video. When a person knows how the body works versus just quote unquote cutting to the chase like some people are commenting, lasting changes can occur. Some people just want the ingredients versus the entire recipe. Thank you for your educational knowledge.
Agreed!
You can also cook with tea. I toast quinoa, then cook it with brewed lapsang souchang (a smoked, black tea from China). You can also make rice, miso ramen, oats, basically anything you cook with water by substituting all or part of the water with tea. It’s fun to play with the various possibilities. Soak steel cut oats in earl grey overnight and serve with cherries, cacao chips, and pistachios. Add any other favorite smoothie add-ons (chia and hemps seeds, saffron, berries). Have fun with it!
fantastic ideas. thank you
Excellent Advice.
Great ideas. You say soak steel cut oats in Earl gray tea and then you cook it?
I use green tea in a terrific salad dressing: Blend 2 tbsp mugi miso, 1/4 cup warm green tea, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1.5 tbsp tamari, one minced small onion, 1 pressed clove of garlic, a dash of cayenne, and 1/2 cup olive oil. Sometimes I add fresh grated ginger and/or chopped cilantro before blending. You can mess around with the quantities to your taste. This also makes a good stir-fry sauce.
That's amazing information about all the substitution one can incorporate. Thanks for sharing ❤
I thank you Dr. Li for all your expertise. I love your videos that talk about the science part of our body and how it reacts to foods. I am learning so much. I have only found your videos recently and can’t get enough . So many more people need to hear all you have to offer. And I appreciate you giving all this info free. Thank you for your kindness and caring for everyones health enough to make these videos. Your truly a good man.
What a wonderful gift.
This sharing of all your knowledge is extremely generous and very much appreciated by so many of us folks.
I shall be putting this advice to work immediately.
Thank very much Dr Li.
I'm drinking fresh watermelon juice this morning and came across your channel! I love watermelon juice for the taste (of course) and the energy that it gives me. Now learning about the fat fighting power, WOW!!! I'm winning even more! You have another subscriber!
I buy watermelon on sale, cut it up, store it in the freezer and take out what I need for blending into a drink on hot, sunny days! Great video! I'm going to try green tea in the early evening and have my 4 cups of black coffee robusta during the day. I buy robusta beans grown and roasted here in Malaysia. I also get local green teas. Never knew they would help my waisteline.😊
Almost any country except here in the US our food, water and tea is full of poisons. Our wonderful corrupt government has been allowing our food and drug administration allow the corrupt companies to ass whatever the hell they want. 3 major cigarettes companies have been losing money due to people quitting smoking and so they bought food companies. This is the reason why smoking many Americans are obese and suffer from Gout and diabetes, and high blood pressure the list is very long and evil. There isn't a product we buy that isn't poison ☠. More and more people are growing their own vegetables and at minimum have chickens and getting their meat and eggs. And the corrupt government is now trying to tax American citizens on their own food. 😢
Brilliant! I buy watermelon too, but one mistake I was, apparently, making was cutting up the fruity part only and throwing away the white parts on the skin away. It turns out that it is the most potent part of the melon. So now I throw away only the skins in my garden, and blend the fruit,the seeds and the white part together.
Wow thanks 👍
My acupuncturist (doctor from China) had me stop green tea because I have issues with my stomach. I do drink Oolong, black tea and just began drinking Pu-Erh which I find I like the best of all of them. I'm a coffee person but have been drinking tea for overall health issues. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Coffee gives me stomach issues. Although I like it, I just can't drink that stuff.
Don't drink on an empty stomach. After food is best because it's acidic. I wasn't aware of this till my doctor told me. 🙂@@crand20033
Great video! I just had two MRIs done for my liver. My enzymes were high. Liver was fine, doctor just told me to lose weight, which I'm doing. Now we have to address a gall stone that he found. Drinking green tea with lemon and oolong tea. We are fortunate to have filtered well water. Converting my food storage containers to glass. I am reading your EAT TO BEAT YOUR DIET book.
Eat fresh pineapple it help break up the stone and it may come out little by little.
Warm water with lemon juice, after taking a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach.
Wait a few minutes and drink your tea.
I have had good results from that.
consider castor oil packs , test for bile (chances are great you are low and that will help - you'll only get help from integrative doctors and nurse practitioners. Get out of the system, and no, it's not covered, and yes, you'll thank me later. or not :) And that's okay. I went into debt and poverty to get better, but when you're that ill, you have no choice)
Thank you for reminding me to buy fresh pineapple. It is delicious! I like it for its taste and enzymes. I read that the liver can continue to make gall stones.
@andreadamascceno2139 - Thank you for the tip, I make a habit of drinking lemon juice and water. Never thought of adding olive oil.
I am really glad that you talked about the environmental consequences of plastic bottles.
Now I really hope that you will remember to think about it when you are about to bottle up your medicine, supplements and vitamines !
hard to avoid at all times. one of the things i thought about a long time ago is plastic nappies. the should make them out of bamboo or something eco, and that you have to buy the outer pants and wash those. intead of throwing all the plastic in the dump. it would degrade a lot faster without that.
this just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark. It has been censored.
I know that book! God bless you and thanks for sharing
Props to dr. Rachel she is one doing us a favor
Can't seem to find a copy of this book. Going to keep looking. Another good read is, "Lies My Doctor Told Me" by Dr. Ken Berry.
Yes, better get all the information you need ASAP. They are changing info, definitions, and restricting info that is helpful.
If DT doesn't win, it will be over. They will ban whatever they choose.
I did the same after reading "Eat to Beat Disease". My friend developed breast cancer - I sent a book to her and one for me. I read it and conveyed the info to her if she wasn't up to reading. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I'm still following his diet. I've also lost 27 pounds!
Dr. Li, ❤❤❤I love your videos and have a few of your books. I am Whole foods plant based, low sodium, no added oil or sugar where possible. I find your information invaluable for understanding the complexities of diet and lifestyle health concerns. It is so good to know that you are on top of the latest research to dispel common myths.

Keep up the good eork and just know how appreciated you are. All the best for you and your family 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤ I was an elementary school teacher and I wish more teachers could be like you.,!!!
I've read that commercial watermelons are injected with red food dye and sugar/sweeteners to make them look more appealing. They said to look out for strange lumps or bumps or minute injection holes at the stem end of the watermelon.
Our food is so adulterated these days I find it easy to believe this is done.
Nowadays I try and buy my food from small farms bc something def isn't right with our 'fresh' food.
If they can make fake eggs they can fake anything.
Doug and Stacy just had a video on watermelons. It was gross. I want eat one from store.
I don’t think so.
@milliealford8968
I've returned three grocery-store bought watermelons 🍉 this summer, that were under-ripe ! They sell what looks like ripened ones in only sliced options, that are approximately $10 per half a watermelon !
That's $20 for a ripened watermelon !

Find green teas too bitter. Only drink pure white tea, no added milk or sugar...I cannot imagine life without it. Dr William Li always has so much knowledge, he is a wonderful doctor.
Try Jasmine green tea by Prince of Peace. It’s not bitter and is mild.
Green tea can become bitter if brewed too hot or too long. Try brewing at 175 degrees fahrenheit for about a minute..
Thank you, will give it a try.@Sabienwings
@Rule110 Thank you for the info, I use boiling hot water, so that may explain the bitterness.
@@sweetfreedom999 If you don't have a way of accurately measuring the temperature of the water, you could try a 50-50 mix of boiling water and hot water straight from the tap. That should get you into a good safe zone for green teas. After that, try experimenting with brewing time and the amount of tea leaf you're using, Trust yourself . . . you'll be able to find through experimentation what works best for your preferences. Enjoy the process!
Thank you for these drink ideas for improving liver health! Can you recommend the top 5 foods next?
I bet avocado 🥑 would be on that list.
Lemon water is my 1st drink of the day and a couple of grains of good quaility salt for hydration on a cellular level.
I cut out sugar, flour and seed oils after a scan showed (along with elevated liver enzymes) that i had NAFLD.

They all so informative
So educationally
Im so grateful and appreciative
I share them with my family and friends
I juiced several watermelons with some arugula, spinach and ginger and froze it in glass, juice shot containers. So good. I think green tea is bland. I toss the green tea bag in my morning coffee.
That's a great idea
Cut out the spinach its full of oxalates.
Switch to macha. It is anything but bland, and it is better for you.
ensure you are not iron overloaded because the high oxalate spinach can be counter productive to dangerous. I harmed my thyroid with those greens. Eh, I do a lot of things the are "bland"....it's health and holiness :) No everything has to be tasty and pleasurable.

I think tea bothers allot of folks stomachs because many people dunk their tea bags up and down in hot water, releasing tannins. Place the tea bag in your hot water and let it rest for the minutes undisturbed. Remove the bag and your tea will be far less bitter.
it only gets bitter if they leave it in the hot water too long I take it out after 8-10 mins and I don’t over boil my water
Better still, use a teapot.
Loose tea/teapot, the old fashioned way…😂
Also not squeeze the tea bag into your cup.
Never knew this thanks!
Thank you so much, Dr. Li for explaining everything and not talking as fast as some of the other Drs on you tube talk. I just found your channel, and I can actually understand what you are saying, I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you again.
Skip to 13:45 to hear about the beverages.
Thank you 😊
thank you!!!!
Thank you ❣️
OMG!!! Thank you!!! I was going to exit & and look up instead of listening to him go on & on
Thanks God Bless for the info
A daily dose of Doctor Li helps keep me on track for a healthy diet and lifestyle. It helps me tremendously to know HOW my body works with foods I consume vs just being told what to eat (or not to eat) and when.
I agree. I use my body chasing goats, horse and chickens,dog. Then housework. At 68 9n 17th of August 2024. Make myself to move around. Ty Lord. Amen ty also for exercise to do
I'm so glad you're doing these videos Dr. Li. So many of us have been sent on "wild goose chases" even by members of those in medical community. Keep shining the light! ☀💕
To reverse beginnings of fatty liver ; cut out all sugars, processed foods, seed oils. Eat low carb and animal protein, exercise daily and above all intermittent fasting.
Animal protein is not healthy.
Thank u all for ur information.May almighty GOD richly bless u all and all ur family members too Amen
I have started intermittent fasting and only eat fiber and proteins.
"Eat low carb and animal protein." Wrong!
@@terristern1158 Animal protein is bad for you. Loads of saturated fat. Plus the animals live a miserable, tortured life.
Brilliant, inspiring talks from Dr Li - You will feel so encouraged to eat healthily - as he advises - you will live happily ever after!
I really enjoyed this lesson. I am currently trying to lose weight and that lower belly area. Thank you
Dr. Li, I am very appreciative of your expertise, experience and obvious intelligence and understanding of food, vascular health and the power of food to heal our bodies. I enjoy your videos! You explain so well! I learn so much!!! Please do not shorten your videos because some people seem to have a short attention span. You are great, kind and noble. The way doctors should be!! Thank you so much for sharing your revolutionary work and research with us!!!
I appreciate how thorough you are in explaining the intricacies and subtleties of how the human body works.
I love learning the how and the why of something and not just "do this to avoid that"
Fat cells multiply. It was one of the things I always knew. Even though no one believed me. Thank you for this physiology lesson.
Nope, listen carefully, you're born with all the fat cells you'll ever have. They expand and contract with weight gain and loss.
Me and my ex were talking about plastic. He thought plastic breaks down. I said it only breaks up, because it is an inorganic material. Then they found the plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. That was then. Now it is probably the size of the whole Midwest and then some. I believe there’s plastic in fat cells. I drank bottled water for eight years when I was homeless.
Glad you made it not to be homeless anymore. Take good care of you. Now you drink fresh water. All the best
I'm so glad your not homeless now ,it's such a huge problem, and getting your life on track. Blessings to you.❤
I know that plastics, really all petroleum products destroy progesterone, which destroys the balance you need between Estrogen and Progesterone. I read this in a book about menopause and why there are so many women with high Estrogen levels. I think the book was called something like “things your doctor hasn’t told you about menopause”. Loaned it and never got it back. It speaks about the use of creams made from Mexican yams which is a natural way to get Progesterone rather than getting progestin pills. I used the cream and it helped balance my body
Thank you for caring about people being healthy. Much appreciated and I look forward to your menu's.
Terrific video, great knowledge for those of us who are eager to learn and live better lives
The lycopene in tomatoes is greatly enhanced by cooking them for half an hour, and it is absorbed better if there's a little oil in the mix (like in a home made pasta sauce). The lycopene in watermelon isn't enhanced by cooking or oil.
This should be more promoted. Tomatoes are indeed super-super-super food if you cook, bake, boil them.
And stop eating tomato skin and seeds
Tomato 🍅 sauce
I bought large neck Kombucha at Costco and saved the bottles to refill with filtered water and store it in the refrigerator. I just counted my bottles from yesterday: 12/16 oz bottles of cold water.
By the way, I figure the Kombucha is free because the bottles would cost more than $1 a piece to buy.
Make sure any bottle reuse is done only after boiling them for 15 minutes.
Thank you for the very interesting video, love it when doctors explain in language I understand. ❤
Some people really hate being educated.. this information is wonderful..truly appreciated since i have a moron for a doctor...I'm 71 and doing a ton a research to heal myself. I appreciate ths immensely ❤
Wow! thank you for all this amazing information. After a recent physical, I was diagnosed with Fatty liver disease. That's it. No other information. I asked my dr what to do about it (knowing the liver can regenerate) and she said "lose weight". See you in a year, pay at reception... So, this was super helpful. All the information was useful and the five drinks are sooooo easy to incorporate into an everyday diet. Thank you again.
Click, click, click! Whoosh! Thank you, Dr Li , you re my fat burner!
Thank you for all the amazing info again. Love listening to you Dr. Li.
Always grateful. 🙏 ❤
Dr. Li, I've been watching your videos fro a few weeks now. Thnak you for this great advice!
While I was curious enough to watch because of the title, I'm not convinced about your liquid recommendations. To begin with, I've been a tea drinker for more than 60 years (4-10 cups/day), and I consume (during summer months) vast amounts of watermelon. None of these have helped with my NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) or the fact that I have vast amounts of internal scarring of my internal organs -- according to the doctor who removed my gall bladder. On the other hand, your mention of symptoms did provide a source of questioning I want to bring up with my doctor at my next appt: itchy skin and pain/tenderness in the area around my waist. While my blood tests didn't find anything wrong with my liver, I know now I want to revisit this topic with my primary. Thank you.
Hibiscus works well for me. I've been drinking it daily for about a year and I'm a whole new person.
Great to hear! Dr Greger always recommends it but it’s been hard to find near me. I actually found it this week in a health food shop. Very happy about that. 😊
May I ask what does the hibiscus tea do for you?
@@stacey8501My NP recommends 2 cups day to lower BP. I buy in bulk on Amazon
I feel like it stained my teeth! Did that happen to you? Also, how did you sweeten it?
Great fir blood pressure
Thank You, Karen,i totally agree
Have a great day
God bless
Excellent video, except one mistake near end, thirst is not necssarily going to be there to tell you to drink in time to prevent dehydration, especiating if you are exercising or hot. Also, in some people, hunger is signal in place of thirst.
The best video on TH-cam for those who want to understand fatty lever and how not to get it and if you have it , howto fix it. This is goldmine on fatty liver explanation.
Lovely info...I'm a Wellness Practitioner specializing in healing the Microbiome...and enjoying this so much...thank you Dr Li...
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thank you for your advice, my doctor literally threw his hands up and told me there is nothing he can do to help me with my fatty liver. I’m now drinking tea and plenty of water. Hopefully I’ll start losing weight soon.
The video discusses the importance of the liver in detoxifying the body and the role of body fat accumulation in the liver. It explains how excess body fat can overwhelm the liver, leading to fatty liver disease. The video outlines five beverages that can help in burning body fat and reducing the impact on the liver:
1. Green Tea: Contains EGCG that activates Brown fat thermogenesis, helping to burn harmful body fat.
2. Coffee: Chlorogenic acid in coffee activates Brown fat thermogenesis, aiding in burning excess body fat.
3. Tomato Juice: Lycopene in tomatoes and tomato juice can activate Brown fat thermogenesis, assisting in fat burning.
4. Watermelon Juice: Watermelon, like tomatoes, contains lycopene and can help reduce body fat, specifically in homemade juice form.
5. Other teas like matcha, oolong, and pu tea are also mentioned for their fat-burning properties.
The video emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy liver by reducing body fat through these beverages. Studies showing the effectiveness of these beverages in burning body fat and improving metabolic health are also discussed. Additionally, practical tips for consuming these beverages are provided, such as avoiding adding sugar to tea and using pure tomato juice.
You’re welcome 😂🤣😂 47 mins wow this should be a short ! Doctor
Honestly, i wanted the fast and quick info.... but i just let it play out qs i was washing the dishes and it was WORTH the length. Thank you for this thorough information!
Dr Li, Absolutely brilliant video we are so lucky to have someone of your calibre take some valuable time out to help all of us. Im from Bangalore and your video is a revelation in understanding the actual mechanics behind our bodies. So well explained. Thank You and More Power to you. Pls do consider a video on anti-ageing/ supplements .
I enjoy your videos on health. Thank you❤
I am not over eating, not fat, not drinking alcohol, but was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver. How come? Why do I have this? Anyway appreciate the suggestions and hope to be able to get rid of this. Thank you Dr Li 🙏
I have the same, but they don't know why
Could be from excessive consumption of processed foods / sugar / carbs
Fructose corn syrup. I drink MTN. DEW. I have to stop. It's in everything.
I have it - from taking antibiotics. Turns out the abx I was prescribed is well known as having a very bad effect on the liver.
Same here. I changed my diet. I removed all processed food in my diet. Basically I tried to eat whole foods as much as possible. My NAFLD was gone in a year.
