I finally, FINALLY understand the connection between food and disease. I recently had my first-ever bout of diverticulitis that landed me in the ER. Going on a liquid diet and now introducing bland, non-inflammatory foods very gradually, I've noticed that not only has the abdominal pain lessened, but also the stiffness and pain from my psoriatic arthritis is disappearing as if I had taken a potent pain med. Wait, what??? Even the psoriasis lesions on my skin are fading out, and it's the middle of winter! My HANDS are clear! I'm 66 and have suffered these conditions for decades. They wanted to give me antibiotics and narcotics (along with other invasive procedures). 😡I declined both and I'm not taking anything else. It's what I eat. It's systemic inflammatory disease. All of it. It's caused by what I eat. OMG. This is utterly life changing. A Christmas Miracle.
In short, don't eat over processed dreck. If you do...make sure you have a real good liver and kidneys. Sockeye Salmon IS the choice. Eat pasta like they do in 🇮🇹, garlic butter rather than with tomato source. Color on your plate are significant. That Reservatrol in wine is the answer. Sentences to live by - Thank you, Dr. Weil ✨️ !
Glad to be watching you on UA-cam. Have followed your nutrition studies and teaching for decades (since the 80s? 90s? UCLA). So sensible and clear. Only today started watching your YT videos; subscribed.
This is great, useful knowledge to base a healthy lifelong diet on. One very important food he leaves out is GARLIC. Garlic has many health-supporting properties, including anti-inflammatory effects.
As someone who has been strugling with high levels of inflamation for decades,I find this video to be pretty on point and alligned with what I learned about dieting over the years. The only critique I might have is that this video suggest using soy for proteins and mentions absolutely noting about possibly the best food for diabetics and anti inflamation: eggs. Eggs have a glycemic index of zero and come chuck full of protein ,vitamins and minerals ,also the protein in eggs is by far the most diggestable bioavailable protein (where a lot of the veggie proteins are particularly low on the bioavailability factor)
Maybe the idea that you're still struggling with high levels of inflammation should be an indication to you that you and the doctor are both anything but on point. Any Doctor Who suggests that you consume 40% of your diet and highly inflammatory carbohydrates, and anyone who thinks this is the way to go while still suffering from those same complaints, deserves each other.
@@josephtein3835much better suggestions than this old uneducated doctor. Those two guys know that an anti-inflammatory diet doesn't include 40% of your food in carbohydrates. Those two doctors are educated enough to suggest that you buy absolutely no means limit your meat consumption like this old uneducated doctor has done.
@josephtein3835 you have a doctor here that has sworn to do no harm and has just recommended that people adopt a so-called anti-inflammatory diet containing 40% sugar. If this commenters feelings are injured due to my pointing out their lack of logic then I'm sure they can fend for themselves. I'm not one of those everybody gets a trophy for participating kind of people and will only make positive comments when there's something actually positive to comment on. Otherwise, everything I said was quite constructive and pointed out quite concisely why this person's logic is illogical.
I am always curious why there are discrepancies in otherwise very intelligent doctors. Some I follow say that as we age we should get 1 graham of protein per ideal body weight which I have to say, being 59 is incredibly hard to do, especially daily. They say animal protein is best. I have been following you for 25 years and you say try to limit animal protein. What's the disconnect here? Love any insight.
The correct answer is to stop listening to anyone that tells you that an anti-inflammatory diet includes 40% of your food in inflammatory carbohydrates. Pay no attention at all to anyone who doesn't discern any difference between high-carbohydrate fruits like bananas which are basically bioengineered fruity candy bars or low carb healthy fruits like berries. Carbohydrates are sugar regardless of the source you get them from and this man is telling you to eat 40% of your diet in sugar as if carbohydrates were a necessary nutrient
Lots of products based on plants can have good properties but they also contain lots of bad properties. Alcohol and tobacco and other addictive drugs, including sugar plus all the defensive toxins in plants such as gluten, lectins, oxalates, phytates. They may also have heavy metals in them and don't get me started with the damage done by spraying glyphosate, herbicides,etc.
@dennisward43 Yes but - many centenarians and other well aging people, consume whiskey and other hard drinks, quite successfully. What do you say to that?
In the framework of an anti-inflammatory diet it's horrible. 20% carbs is still inflammatory. If you want an anti-inflammatory diet you don't include inflammatory foods like carbohydrates. As close to zero as possible is what you need
@@josephtein3835in fact it's likely he does follow his own advice which is why he's fat. He's recommending that people eat 40% of their diet and carbohydrates. That's a 40% sugar. What's the difference if you cut out refined sugars when you're only replacing them with unrefined sugars that managed to make you just as fat and sick.
I would say worse than mediocre advice seeing as how this man took a oath to do no harm and is recommending that people eat 40% of their diet in sugar, because that's what carbohydrates are.
I have to ask why anyone with a medical degree and supposedly turned into human health and nutrition would recommend people eat 40% of their diet in highly inflammatory and nutritionally devoid carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are nothing more than sugar. You are telling people to eat a diet high in inflammatory sugar compounds and actually suggesting that they limit their consumption of meat which is a healthy source of actual necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy life. We can't do without animal protein and we can absolutely live a life completely without carbohydrates. Our body manufactures carbohydrates through a process called gluconeogenesis. If everyone is supplying their bodies carbohydrate needs through dietary measures then you will never burn off the body fat that you're highly intelligent metabolism has stored for that very purpose. That's why you're fat and that's why you're in need of an anti-inflammatory diet in the first place. There is apparently a very good reason why no one except for you're worshipful followers on the internet pay any attention to what you have to say. Just the idea that you would base a anti-inflammatory diet on a thoroughly debunked Mediterranean diet that everyone knows was nothing more than a way to sell a book based off of Cherry Picked evidence.
It is simple eat as many fruits and dveggies. Stay as close to natural and raw as you can. I have personally not consumed any meat or dairy in many years!
It's not the calories that you need to worry about. It's the nutritional deficiencies in Sugar compared to the Healthy nutrition and necessary nutrient of fat. If you have enough healthy fat in your diet you don't need to consume carbohydrates that only spike your insulin and make you get metabolic diseases. The healthy way for your body to acquire the minimum carbohydrate that it needs to function properly is through a process called gluconeogenesis where your body turns stored body fat into the necessary carbohydrates you need. And it only converts what you need so you don't end up with insulin spikes. The so-called knowledgeable doctor is basically recommending that you eat your diet 40% carbohydrates, 40% sugar and limit your consumption of meat which also limits your consumption of the necessary nutrients of fat and protein. And if you're getting your fat from plant sources it's highly inflammatory as well. The least inflammatory and most nutrient dense satisfying food in the world is meat and we can live off of meat and nothing else as several cultures around the world have proven time and again without suffering any cancer or metabolic diseases.
The fact that we get free videos on UA-cam by Dr Weil is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive.
👏🙏🏽🤷

@@decolonizeEverywhere I am speaking of the protein disconnect
Thank you very much 👋
Very informative. Thankss
Thank you, Dr. Weil! Question, what about beans and legumes?
Eat 'em till you see them in your dreams!
Some book sites still have most of his books available some are used but a fair price. He has written a ton on food and over all health.
Do WHISKEYS also have NUTRITIVE PROPERTIES?

@@jakobw135 Of course they do. Just as many people who smoke tobacco live to a ripe old age. Does that mean it is healthy?
Yes but no more than 34% of daily calories from whisky. Take it with a tablespoon of psyllium seed husk, for fiber.
Soak nuts and roast them... amazing outcomes.
Thank you🥰🍄
Great advice - maybe in 1990
your diet sounds good only 20% carbs max, 50% fat and 30% protien.
In the framework of an anti-inflammatory diet it's horrible. 20% carbs is still inflammatory. If you want an anti-inflammatory diet you don't include inflammatory foods like carbohydrates. As close to zero as possible is what you need
He needs to walk his talk lol 😂😂😂
Sure. How do you know that he doesnt?
@@josephtein3835in fact it's likely he does follow his own advice which is why he's fat. He's recommending that people eat 40% of their diet and carbohydrates. That's a 40% sugar.

Too many carbs
Why is he overweight?
I believe his focus is on health rather than weight.
Do what I say, not as I do. The cobblers shoes are always in need of the most mending
Read your own comment , and maybe revaluate it ,and add second comment....@@christinecaronnabeard1369
His knowledge is high quality.
He is healthy at his age.
Cheese 😂
As soon as I heard "pasta is ok to include in the diet" I realized It wasnt going to be an 'antiinflammatory ,'diet and mediocre advice
I would say worse than mediocre advice seeing as how this man took a oath to do no harm and is recommending that people eat 40% of their diet in sugar, because that's what carbohydrates are.

He's over weight ? 😢❤SAD. Time will tell ❤Decentralization ❤Don't die ❤.
No he isnt !
Hello. He is not overweight. He is an endomorph person.
Could you please explain what means Decentralization?
Thanks
It is simple eat as many fruits and dveggies. Stay as close to natural and raw as you can. I have personally not consumed any meat or dairy in many years!
I would be embarrassed to be so obese while telling others how to eat. Better to pay attention to Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
💯
So obese? He has an endomorph type of body. That's it.
Greetings
Very disappointed that he encourages avoiding meat.
Leave the animals alone
Carnivore diet is where it’s at! Meat eggs butter bacon 🥓
He is trying to help and eats pasta
Outdated information. There are now much better health channels.
Well, he’s well into his 80s now and still healthy so he must be doing something right!
Sugar is 50 calories per tablespoon…fat 120 per tablespoon 🤔
Bad measure of healthy food...calories
