Your comment on hospitals leading the way hits home. Our hospital (HCA) had healthy meals prepared on site. In order to save money they brought in fast food. Very little now prepared on site by minimum wage workers who have no idea how to prepare food. My husband had esophageal cancer. They brought him a thick piece of meat for dinner, nothing else. Our health systems at work. Way to go NY
i have always loved being vegetarian. I didn't even want to stop eating meat. I was visiting my family back home, but was looking into plant based diet on youtube. Constantly fascinated by the topic. I was getting in and out of cabs, waiting for trains, laying in bed at night just learning and learning about plant based diet. The whole time my family would stuff me with pork, beef, sushi, chicken, every day, 3 meals, cuz i hadn't seen them in a long time. After 1 week i was about to get on a plane to go back to my home and I thought "I should take it easy, I've been beating up my system." I ordered some salmon at the airport restaurant. i put one piece in my mouth, and I was going to throw up. I didn't understand why. I ate the veggies and the rice, then I figured Im paying a lot for this fish, i might as well eat it. I tried to take a 2nd bite and was going to throw up. That was the last time i ate meat. My health def improved. I got life insurance a few years later. i thought they would find something like diabetes because I really like sweets. THey said i'm 2nd tier preferred customer. I would be tier 1 if I just lost a litte more weight. I think my brain just figured that we didn't need meat anymore because of what i learned about it.
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools. Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
Dr. Greger: Ok, lets open it up for some questions! Yes, how about you? 1st questioner: Proceeds to go on a 5 minute diatribe lecture with no question.... Dr. Greger: Tries to answer as if there was a question asked.....LOL! The rest of the questioners: Actually asks questions.......
Oh my gawd he's making me laugh. But yes, Iv been plant based for 15 years. I'm 45 and honestly look and feel so much healthier then my loved ones and friends who eat SAD.
I made the change at 21 and was considered weird. At 63, it is very distressing to see my family obese and literally killing themselves and I STILL get that vibe off them - certainly no inspiration to follow my example ... As I make plans for a very active retirement, like the medical profession they see ill health and medication as inevitable.

Wait…one of my heroes was here in Utah? And the medical field in Utah is open to considering whole food plant-based nutrition? That’s truly wonderful news! 💚🌱
@@AgrippaMaxentius I’m a post-Mormon who still lives in Utah, and I can assure you the mainstream LDS Church has not consistently preached low-animal consumption. And they very-much do consume caffeine. You’re thinking of coffee. They are taught to avoid coffee. Ironically, they are avid consumers of Mountain Dew, Red Bull, etc. And they are TOTAL sugar addicts. But about the animal meat: at one time, the part about the Word of Wisdom that says to abstain from consuming animal (D&C 89…”sparingly and only in times of famine”) was taught routinely by the leaders. But the during the 1950s, they began accumulating massive amounts of land and the LDS corporation became cattle ranchers. They became the largest privately-owned for-profit ranchers in the US, and for 1 or 2 years they were the largest in the world. Of course they stopped teaching to not consume animals because they were in a lucrative business of consuming animals. Money talks. Maybe they don’t smoke or drink booze, but members are culturally just as morbidly obese as the rest of the USA and others on the standard western diet.
I appreciate the information and it’s absolutely eye opening. The caffeine bit is absolutely hilarious, basically the equivalent of “don’t smoke cigarettes” so everyone just vapes and smokes cigars. Maybe I was thinking of FLDS but I recall seeing something like “the church prefers parishioners to minimise the intake of animal proteins” I may very well have mixed it with adventists. Appreciate this info, downright fascinating and kind of funny at the same time .

My husband has a issue not getting enough, he has dropped to 125 lbs. He had artery problems, doctor put him on plant based but he cant keep enough calories in, they dont want him taken in nuts because of the oils.
Friends of ours eat mountains of meat every day, a great deal of it processed. Sausages, bacon, bratwurst, you name it. Because it's all organic they feel they are as healthy as can be. Unfortunately, they are consuming a tremendous amount of saturated fat, nitrates, nitrites and salt. One has died. Another is in poor health. A third, younger friend is just starting to show signs of ill health. They are confused by this situation, yet continue to eat as little fruits and vegetables as possible. Go figure.
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
My introduction to the medical industry was an injured back .. their fix .. pain killer pills .. this made no sense to me. God gives us pain for a reason.. I never went backo
WHY ALL THE HATE? going vegan (with B12 supplements) is a PROVEN WINNER ! while i am not vegan, my diet is 90% plant based, and i feel guilty eating meat ( Romans 7:15-24 ) when i broach the subject of eating vegan with obese friends and family, it is dismissed out of hand, even when i mention such a diet will heal their various ailments.
I want to tell that woman just give it up and go eat WFPB vegan healthy diet. You will look and feel better than everyone. Have a better sex life clear thinking look younger. No downside truly! I’ll never go back to crap. Love WFPB foods. Go all in. No regrets
It is understandable you have been misled. It is designed that way! You have been dummied down, get back in line with the 99%. Your lost about nutrition and cannot name 3 world class athletes who are on this stupid diet (carnivore is about as dumb as humanity has ever been). However, on the flip side there are endless lists of record setting vegan athletes, tops in their respective sports, and longevity. records that are unmatched Your terribly confused! Eating dead things leads to premature disease, death, and aging. Only been directly tied to every pandemic in human history. 😂🤣😂🤣 Do not be scared of veganism it is by far the healthiest and best diet for humans, planetary health, and the future of mankind.
For a short while before problems start. The main reason carnivore works for a while is because people stop eating junk, sugar, pastries etc. But then the problems ie colon, kidneys, artery plague, lungs etc start
I added more meat to my diet, but I dont like eating only meat. I want vegetables, and i like nuts and seeds like pistachio nuts, walnuts, also I really enjoy a good of brocolli before I eat meat or fish. canned salmon yuck!

My favorite man and his books are my bibles. I am so healthy because of following this WFPB vegan way of life!
I appreciate this good man.

2nd question, zi would like more information on kidney disease and plant based food.
I love this.
I am an open heart patient.
He’s write about your taste changes and becomes more acute when you remove excess salt, sugar, and fat
Love dr Greger. You are an angel.
A good resource for food addiction support is Bright Line Eating.

Say what you will about the Mormons but they have always preached a low meat diet. Also no caffeine or tobacco. Diet wise they seem to be spot on.

It’s not that hard to eat plants. You have to value your life and your health.

Power of plants 🌵
The West is the most addicted culture on earth whether it is tobacco, food, alcohol, or drugs.
WHY ALL THE HATE? going vegan (with B12 supplements) is a PROVEN WINNER !

when i broach the subject of eating vegan with obese friends and family, it is dismissed out of hand, even when i mention such a diet will heal their various ailments.
Milked plants are not transition foods, but rather - good foods in and of themselves. (Healthy and nutritious in every way).
Omg Seinfeld🎉😂

Those advertisements are insane. Endless bullshit.
I did a study back in 1980 and the final findings were 100% of all humans who ate food died!
Live forever , don’t eat food!
😅😅👍
No thanks.
Most decrepit false advertising that I could imagine.
The carnivore diet is where it's at💯
It is understandable you have been misled. It is designed that way! You have been dummied down, get back in line with the 99%. Your lost about nutrition and cannot name 3 world class athletes who are on this stupid diet (carnivore is about as dumb as humanity has ever been).

It is true! The short term weight loss leads to long term health issues. Sad how the ignorance and denial continues. @@charlotteprout-jones7257
