I have a garden I eat a lot of food from it, I have eating rice, beans, tomatoes so many different vegetables, make my own bread, a whole my life, grew up in a farm, we ate the fruits seasonal, we would eat meat too. I am almost 70 zero problems with my health. One thing my mother use to teach us was moderation when you eat, I still remember, no matter how healthy it’s the food, too much, it’s not good for you. My grandma was to eat like us, she lived to be 113 years old. I think our bodies need a variety, because one kind of food do not cover every necessity in your body. But what it’s good for someone, doesn’t have to be for someone else. Moderation I pretty sure is good for everyone.

My wife bought a container of sundried tomatoes. I thought it would be tomatoes and oil. Nope- 23 ingredients. It pays to read the labels.

I generally just stick to whole foods-lean meat, eggs, a bit of processed dairy (cheese, sour cream, yogurt), veg, fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds. I don't worry about my weight, although I recently lost a good amount. I am decently healthy and happy, that's what matters.

I am a 61 yr old female and I am learning every day . Thank you for this video .

Moderation is Key Too much of anything is bad Problem is, many of us are addicts who struggle with "just enough".

This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into EVERY medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about HEALTH. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍

Im diabetic and I recently had to quit drinking zero sugar drinks as it was causing ketoacidosis and I was vomiting up my food on a regular basis, it took a long time and a lot of experimentation to realise that it was the zero sugar drinks causing it.

The key takeaways are: 1. **Misleading Health Foods**: Commonly perceived healthy options like diet sodas, fruit juices, flavored coffees, and ultra-processed plant-based foods may not be as beneficial as marketed due to artificial sweeteners, excess sugars, and processing methods that can damage gut health and metabolism. 2. **Bread and Wine Considerations**: The health impact of bread depends on the quality of the grain, the type of flour (whole grain vs. ultra-processed), and the bread-making process, with sourdough bread being highlighted for its probiotic benefits. 3. **Importance of Quantity**: The amount of food consumed can significantly affect one's health, with moderation being key. Tools like CGM devices can help individuals understand the impact of food on their blood sugar levels. 4. **Personalized Diet**: A one-size-fits-all approach to diet does not work. Mindful eating, which includes making informed choices about food based on personal preferences and cultural background, is essential for a sustainable and healthy diet. 5. **Gut Health as a Metabolic Indicator**: A healthy gut microbiome is crucial for efficient metabolism. Disruptions caused by artificial sweeteners, antibiotics, and ultra-processed foods can lead to metabolic issues and weight gain. 6. **Mindful Shopping**: Reading ingredient labels and understanding the contents of food products is crucial to avoid ingredients that could harm gut health and overall metabolism. 7. **Joy in Eating**: Aligning eating habits with personal joy and cultural practices is as important as the nutritional value of the food. Enjoyment of food should be a part of a healthy diet. 8. **Technology for Personal Insights**: Utilizing technology like CGM devices or breathalyzers for metabolic assessment can provide personal insights into how different foods affect individual health.

My husband and I cook everything from whole foods. We even make our own whole grain sourdough bread, it's delicious, and we know what's in it. We slice our bread and freeze it, so it's always fresh. We live in the country and have a large garden in summer.

People can’t go easy on amounts. Because these foods cause cravings. That’s what they do. It raises your insulin and when it drops you get the signal from your brain that you need more. And so starts the cycle. Also, we’re talking about addiction here. people are addicted to carbohydrates. It doesn’t matter what the amount is or where it comes from. It makes you want more and more and more and that’s the problem. It’s like asking an alcoholic just have one drink and then you’ll be fine you won’t have another drink till tomorrow or the next day or next week. No, he wants another drink as soon as that one’s done.

There are so many food additives in processed foods, it’s not really food anymore. THANK YOU For this very important video!!

I love his comments so much about food being MORE than just medicine ❤❤❤

Started my no sugar journey 10 days ago, My daily routine now 1.Wake up 2.Watch your videos 3. Start the day 4.watch another video on sugar addiction 5.sleep!!! Thank you❤

I read labels when i go to the groceries. If i cannot pronounce the ingredients and the ingredients is a long word. It means it is not good for you. We can only do so much in our diet and nutrition. We can do our best to get quality food. For me, what works for me is Balance diet. No extreme measures in diet. Just listen to your body. Balance is the key. Do not overdo anything. 😊

Wow, amazing explanation of how we should look after our our body - our temple 🥰

His educational approach is changing lives

I like your discussion about bread, especially when you mentioned sourdough. I would like to mention the milling of wheat into flour. Modern milling is done with steel rollers and produces a fine-grained flour. Then the bran and husk parts are separated leaving just the starchy endosperm. This makes flour that can be store for a long time. Originally stone -ground milling was a local operation. The flour was quickly used by local bakeries. Newly milled flour is very nutritious for a short time. You cannot build a pyramid while eating white bread. that w

Thank you both. When it comes down to when I have to bake our own breads - I will be adding: chia & flax seeds, poppy seeds, kelp granules, various nuts (ground up), oats, pumpkin seeds, quinoa flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dark wheat bran, etc. for more nutritious bread. Of course not all the above will be added at once - a little here & a little there will do the trick.

I love thé guest positive approach and energy.
