unlinedwork - how about the condition NCGS - non-coeliac gluten sensitivity? Being gluten-free now has made such a difference to my digestion and energy levels and I'm not allergic.
you are right , its a money machine just like the no fat foods of the 90s everyone wants to feel and look great , if tomorrow we should boil a rock with our water for some youth preserving volcanic mineral ....we will
If you eat a lot of gluten you become sensitive to it and get rashes. Leading to celiac Disease So limiting gluten if you know you eat a lot of it would be best.
@@janicemitchell5783 not everyone is sensitive to gluten. It’s like asking for chemotherapy when you don’t have cancer but you think is trendy. But I’m glad you feed better now.
I've been drinking tea just like your recommendation. I brew one cup, let it cool down, and add it to ice and water in my water bottle. Has helped me consume more water everyday! These are excellent tips, thank you!
Beautiful, well-informed data....and as a vegan (and someone who works with medical grade skin care), loved hearing you speak to moving away from dairy; a great decision that will benefit the skin, your health, the animals and the environment. Bravo. Love your videos, Dr. Keep them coming. :)
Ceylon is what Sri Lanka was known as before it gained it independence. Cinnamon from Sri Lanka is great! So if it says it’s from Sri Lanka it’s the same. X
Shayantani pal I think it refers to the salt that was originally deposited there when the Himalayas were under the sea, pre-emergence (that’s why they have salt in the first place)
Salt can only come from the sea, that’s it, there is no other source. Wherever there is salt there was sea there at some point. Please google shit before making ignorant, condescending comments.
Thanks for sharing! My sugar substitutes are Coconut Sugar; Coconut Nectar; Dates; Maple Syrup, and Manuka honey; sometimes a good quality local honey.
Thank you Dr. Mona. ❤ This has been really helpful. I also love adding turmeric and other superfoods into my diet as I have been plant-based for the longest time now and enjoying it!
This video was extremely helpful, thank you! I am currently trying to switch over to consuming mostly organic foods and stay away from processed foods, so all of your videos lately have helped tremendously! I appreciate you giving examples of exactly what to buy so I am not buying something believed to be healthy when it actually is not!
table salt is exactly the same as sea salt. It's sodium chloride. Also all salts today are technically sea salts, they've just accumulated in mines thousands of years ago
lgal56 ““Himalayan salt does contain trace amounts of minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, and more, but the amounts are insignificant and afford no additional health benefits,” says Jeff McGrath, a clinical dietitian at Westchester Medical Center, the university hospital of New York Medical College. Ironically, Himalayan pink salt also contains barely detectable amounts of elements that would be harmful if isolated and consumed in large doses, such as arsenic and uranium,” McGrath says.
From my perspective, I think iodised table salt is better for you than sea salt. Sea salt may have some benefits such as minerals but these are in trace amounts that you can already gain from eating other foods such as bananas (potassium), spinach (iron), majority of foods (magnesium) and dairy products (calcium). Don't forget that when you use salt you only use a little anyways else the food is salty which is barely enough intake of these minerals compared to eating actual food. On the other hand table salt has iodine added which prevents goitre and thyroid problems which are major health problems in regions of the world where a balanced diet is hard to maintain. Similarly they both have about the same amounts of sodium so there's really no difference; just use it in moderation. Price wise table salt is alot cheaper than sea salt (where I live table salt is more common and cheaper at around less than US $0,50 for 500g whilst sea salt ranges from $1 to $4 for 250g) . But I guess you just have to research and decide for yourself on which salt is best for you depending on your health and income.
It is... it causes a lot of inflammation and leads to leaky gut. All diseases behinds in the gut. Dairy and gluten are the worst inflammatory foods. Everyone should aim to cut those out of their diet
So, what are your thoughts on studies indicating that people without gluten allergies still need gluten as it promotes good health, it's linked to reduced risk of heart diseases and may even boost immune functions?
I think the point of the article I linked was that, just like going Vegan, excluding certain foods doesn’t automatically mean you will be healthier. It depends on how you eat and having a well rounded diet. There are still unhealthy things that are gluten free or vegan. I hope that answers your questjon!
I love how articulate you are in the way that you deliver the information in an easy/understanding way. Thank you for this lovely info! New subscriber! X
Omg you're amazing!! I discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm obsessed, I already watched half of your videos!! I love your content and the information that you're sharing with us, it's all so helpful and interesting to hear about.
Great information !! Please do a video about what type of food should be eaten at dinner time because my wife can’t sleep properly she wakes up in the middle of the night. Thank you
I absolutely loved this perfectly informative video!! It is so helpful when you go into such detail of the positives and negatives of the items you are discussing! It sticks in my head and I add to my future shopping lists. Thank you so much!!
I appreciate your channel, I have let myself go for many years and have gotten into looking for more information in all the things that are in foods. You are very informational.
Long videos are awesome. More relaxed and detailed explanations this way. It actually didnt seem that long because the content was very good and engaging. Would love to see more videos of this kind. Maybe alternate recipes for very common foods and stuff? Anyways, great work! Keep it up :)
So glad I found your channel! You are so beautiful and this video has inspired me to get back on track! Not that I've been that bad but I was so obsessed last year with everything that I used and kinda got lazy.
I enjoyed your video. This video helped remind me of things I could definitely swap out exchanging doe the better and I really don’t mind the time length of it because it was very informative. Thank you!!
Hi Dr. Mona - can you do a video on the best, healthiest oils to use/consume and explain why vegetable oils (i.e. Canola, Sunflower, Safflower, etc...) can be bad for your health and gut?
please do a video on "natural flavors" I try to tell people to be careful of that when looking at their ingredients but I don't actually understand it in depth either. I would love to know!!
I love this video and that you go into as much detail as you do. I am about to get back on the switch because I have gained more weight since February and I hate it
Wow, I had no idea about the cinnamon! Thanks! Gonna go look up the chia seed pudding. I've made "bread" out of chia seeds and it tasted like wheat bread. It was great! So, excited about the pudding
Confused why 3 people disliked this. This video was so informative and interesting! I’m so excited to make these swaps. My boyfriend and I are always looking for easy ways to make healthy changes.
I would love to know your recipe for your chocolate oatmeal. My son has that everyday for breakfast and I’d love to make it healthier. I’m off to search your channel to see if you already have a video on this ❤️ thanks for the ideas.
My favorite way to eat oatmeal is adding cacao to it so that I have a healthy chocolate oatmeal, it's great! Cacao is such a blessing, a little touch can really go a long way
Love this video, my husband has high blood pressure and we've been adjusting him to a dash diet so this video is very helpful. Love your top in the video as well.
SUCH great content. 🙌🏼 (I kept pausing your video to pull up pages of items I want to try or get again that I’ve forgotten about, to remind me to actually get them!)
I won’t use Stevia but then again I typically do not use sugar except for baking for the holidays. My honey comes from my friends personal beehives, raw natural right from the hive. It’s amazing, haven’t bought any other for years. The coconut nectar sounds like something I can easily incorporate into my kitchen. I use coconut milk (homemade) for smoothies, and adding instead of cows milk for most applications and avocado oil to cook. I also appreciate the pasta tips. We don’t have a Trader Joe’s and our grocery selection is extremely lacking in pasta alternatives but I’ll definitely try that black bean pasta. Thanks for the info.
You are brilliant!! LOVE these segments! I bought the course last time and this is just such a nice compliment! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it so easy to understand 💜
I’m curious as to what coconut water brand is the most natural and safe that you would recommend? Also, thank you so much for the videos. I’ve been implementing a lot of foods and smoothies you have in your videos in my every day life and I’ve been feeling so positive and clean. Thank you for your knowledge 🙏🏻🙌🏻💜
about the bottled green tea I would appreciate if you would consider talking about oat and different nut milks- since they are in shops just sitting in a counter(almost never expiring) and I feel like they are not as healthy as advertised.. thanks!
i have a brittle bones disease so growing up i was basically forced to eat and drink SO much dairy because everyone thought it was what was best for my bones. meanwhile almond milk has 30% more calcium than dairy. but i've been vegan for a few years now and my calcium levels are even better than before lol
I love hearing about the nutritional values these simple changes provide. However, can you also focus on the medicinal value of food? For example, the stevia swap. I know many sugar substitutes contain elements that are known to cause cancer. Does stevia?
Hi Mona I’ve been using golden monk fruit. Sweetener it is the best I’ve found.. I will try the coconut nectar... great video... thank you! I love these older healthy videos... could you do a hair conditioner and detangler video? 💕🏝
THERE are so many aspergillus spores in TEA!! You definately should ALWAYS use really hot water for tea. It even says so on the package (at least where I live it says Use hot water to achieve a health save product!).
I had such horrible cystic/hormonal acne. A few years back, after taking accutane (didn't help, acne came back 10x worse), I went plant based and removed this damn gluten that is on everything lol. and BOOM, everything changed, my skin is super clear. *doing a Dr. Mona video marathon. :)
First time viewer - I saw that greek yogurt sitting there and I was like, oh PLEASE don't say it's healthy! You didn't let me down haha and I'm totally a fan now. Great video, I love that you compared "healthy" foods to ACTUAL healthy foods instead of doing the typical traditional junk food - health food swap. Have you done a video on hair health? I didn't see one on your channel and would definitely be interested in that. :)
Thanks for the coconut nectar tip! I already do the other things you mentioned and consider myself a healthy person, but I’ve never heard of coconut nectar. I do use coconut sugar and like it. I’ll be buying some and replacing my maple syrup and agave with it.
I cut out dairy 20 yrs ago. I've been good to make sure I was getting calcium in my diet and lifting heavy weights. Still got osteopenia. Now I don't know what to do.
What kind of rice can i have instead of package taco rice. I put just a teaspoon in my chili n turkey meat can i do that. I dont eat it alot. So if i just use a little bit can it still hurt my body?
Any foods to help boost blood pressure? All the healthy options (omega, chia seeds, cacao, flaxseed, apple cider vinegar, grapeseed... etc) are great for lowering blood pressure. Would be great to know healthy food that help those that suffer from low blood pressure. Thanks!!
I often find it conflicting when you hear advice like avoid gluten and stop eating dairy, even if you don’t have intolerances to these types of foods. I have undergone tests for all types of intolerances and found out I have a fructose intolerance. But my results showed no sensitivity towards gluten or lactose, so doesn’t that mean it’s okay to continue eating gluten and lactose? Would love some clarification on this. Thanks in advance.
you should only avoid gluten if you have celiacs disease and leave out diary, if you are lactose intolerant. some people are allergic to certain kinds of pollen and develop cross sensitivities over time - for example wheat. most people who feel "gluten intolerant" are just wheat sensitive.
It's about sugar intake. Gluten and dairy are mostly carbohydrates and eating them affects your blood sugar levels and thus affects your hormonal balance.
I am a registered dietitian and I think it's bad for you to advise people to avoid gluten products as a doctor. Wheat products provide fortification of micronutrients to help with health. B vitamins, folic acid, etc. I understand if someone is getting a well balanced diet that might not be necessary, but a child who is still growing who might not know about Celiac's disease or the gluten trend, will think, "this doctor is telling me not to eat wheat products." That could have negative effects on their development. Or a girl of pre-conception age. Folic acid is very difficult to get the RDA from veggies, that could put her and her baby at risk for neural tube defects. The only people who should avoid gluten are those with the sensitivity under doctor's advice. I'm not saying eat it always, but don't eliminate major food groups, have it in moderation like everything else. The same with dairy. Dairy provides a lot of nutrition for children in particular. I'm lactose intolerant, and can't stand dairy, but knowing the science, I wouldn't advise against it, if people can tolerate it.
Hi there, loving your videos! I've actually switched over to some these products your suggesting and they really are good..so thank you ! Would love more suggestions and recipe ideas 😊
U sweetened cocoa nibs can be combined with what? And organic raw unprocessed cocoa powder you are fine with and how about a unprocessed coconut powder mylk okay and confined with?
1. Pasta: swipe for gluten free and high protein: edamame black bean lentil eg pow pasta

3. Swipe couscous for quinoa for a gluten free option

Why do people keep saying himalayan “sea” salt ? There is no sea in the himalayan mountains. Its all rock salt . But thanks for the wonderful video
Shayantani pal I think it refers to the salt that was originally deposited there when the Himalayas were under the sea, pre-emergence (that’s why they have salt in the first place)
Use high quality sea salt like Maldon
Shayantani pal I believe a “Doctor” should know that.
Salt can only come from the sea, that’s it, there is no other source. Wherever there is salt there was sea there at some point. Please google shit before making ignorant, condescending comments.
Lollllllllll
Thanks for sharing! My sugar substitutes are Coconut Sugar; Coconut Nectar; Dates; Maple Syrup, and Manuka honey; sometimes a good quality local honey.
finally a video thats actually about health and all reasons and the why behind it. Love it. definitely gonna subscribe
Thank you Dr. Mona. ❤ This has been really helpful. I also love adding turmeric and other superfoods into my diet as I have been plant-based for the longest time now and enjoying it!
I love your channel. Thank god you are in youtube. I can watch your channel while preparing all my grocery lists from amazon.

Love the long videos !!! Please do a whole video on why you shouldn’t eat gluten 🖤
Me too
You say that quinoa is “also a grain” when comparing to couscous. Couscous is pasta and quinoa is a seed
Pasta is made from wheat which is a grain...and quinoa is considered a pseudo-grain
Who cares she's fit, she can say what she wants, I am a believer and will continue to watch.
@@mathewhunter9043 😂
My point is that quinoa is a seed and couscous is pasta

our bodies need iodine for proper thyroid function. the explanations in this video are vague and unsupported.
You should do a video on healthy vegan protein powders
Love this !! So helpful ! Also I love when you added that little kid say yes? No? and started to cry. It made me laugh! Thanks
If ur ever tired it’s the gluten guys not the fact that u pulled an all nighter
😂😂😂
For some reason all of LA believes that gluten is toxic 😂
Gili Mundel thanks. I’m always tired.

Are you sure about Stevia being a good substitute? I've seen a lot of dieticians say that Stevia is not good for you. It's as processed as sugar.
Raw Stevia
Monk fruit sugar
I like date sugar. It is just dates made into granules. Great in oatmeal. Bought it off Amazon from Date Lady Inc.
I've read the same thing don't know what to believe these days

Folic acid is very difficult to get the RDA from veggies, that could put her and her baby at risk for neural tube defects. The only people who should avoid gluten are those with the sensitivity under doctor's advice. I'm not saying eat it always, but don't eliminate major food groups, have it in moderation like everything else. The same with dairy. Dairy provides a lot of nutrition for children in particular. I'm lactose intolerant, and can't stand dairy, but knowing the science, I wouldn't advise against it, if people can tolerate it.
I don't think she is a medical doctor, she's a pharmacist.
I have to agree. Gluten intolerance is a disease not a fad.
Is she even a doctor?
She's a pharmacist not a medical doctor
