Is this a real person or something generated from AI Chat GPT? There is no pause, or toneation in her voice, although great information, that makes it hard to follow her or "it." Plus, freeze or slow down when you present a list. Lol Geeze! 🥰
I worked over 40 years in a hospital dining with surgeons at lunch time. So many said that if patients were educated and followed a proper diet, they would be out of business! You, doctor, are a wealth of information! Thank you!
I am a whole plant vegan and eat oats for breakfast, borch with beans instead of meat (cabbage, beetroot, beans, lentils etc) for lunch. Eat kale and broccoli wholemeal self made bread, and lentil soup for dinner and occasionally curried lentils over sweet potatoes. I'm 62 but feel like I'm twenty. I can run up long steep hills and up stairs two steps at a time. And I use a kneeling chair.
@@Sconzette Everything she says about type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and what constitutes an optimal diet is 100% true. Sugar does not "cause" diabetes, fat does. High saturated fat consumption causes cardiovascular disease and contributes to fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. A high fiber, low saturated fat, high phytonutrient diet, .i.e., vegetarian/vegan diet is optimal.
@donwinston That's funny, I cutout sugars and carbs, changed to a high saturated fat diet and lowered my A1c from 6 to 5.1 in less than 6 months. Sugar is the direct cause of inflammation in cardiovascular system due to raising the insulin levels. As a cardiac patient, I have healed my heart with fats rather than a standard American diet (SAD).
@@JeffSmith-xt9wt No, sugar is not inflammatory. Obviously your A1C is going to drop if you don't eat carbs. That is nothing to be proud of. If you lose weight AND EAT CARBS including sugar your A1C will also lower to normal levels and you will be much more insulin sensitive. If you avoid carbs and do not lose weight you will still be insulin resistant. Fat causes chronic high blood sugar. You have been listening to a cult of pathologically alienate anti science twits. Almost EVERYTHING keto/carnivore diet advocates say is completely bogus. If you want to understand what causes insulin resistance and diabetes see Professor Roy Taylor from Oxford University. He is the leading researcher in the world on type 2 diabetes.
I agree; I need to watch it over again. It’s a lot of great information; I’m learning, learning, learning still at 82. We were brought up on a plant based diet and didn’t even realize it. Economics was one of the reasons. We were an Italian family of mom, dad, grandma, 4 kids and 2 cousins living together. Meat was usually twice a week otherwise it was spinach and potatoes; escarole and beans, you get the picture. Whatever was in season that was on the ‘vegetable man’s truck’ that day was usually that night’s dinner. Thank you mom and dad and grandma.
I had to listen to this 3 times! Thank you for sharing this most helpful information!! People in my family have leaky gut, IBS, Crohn's, and autoimmune conditions.
I have never eaten more fruit than after I started watching these videos. I can hardly wait for my yearly check up, in a few months, to see if my cholesterol actually goes down.❤
I cannot get over how helpful and information packed these videos are! THANK YOU!!!! I feel FANTASTIC since I started eating a Whole Food Plant Based diet. Now I'm seeing the details of WHY I feel fantastic eating this way.
Congratulations on another so logical, so well-reasoned, so easy to understand educational video. As a retired Neuroradiologist who loves nutrition, health, plant-based lifestyle, I now rank you as my go-to medical authority on food and health. 30-40 minutes is the right length. The other MDs that I follow have 1hr plus videos that are informative but too long for me, let alone the general public. You have the GIFT of being able to simplify and make human physiology easier to understand in order to communicate to your listeners, the reason why they should heed your advice. You are beating all those MDs NYTBS authors that I have been following. Keep up the EXCELLENT work. I also love your healthy plant-based recipes and your dedication, passion to teach the public.🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹
It is amazing God gave us so many types of food vegetables fruits to choose from. They r so wondefully beautifully n creatively made for us to consume. Grateful. Praise God. Thank you for yr great love for us. ❤❤❤
After watching a few of your videos this year, I'm still wondering how the hell you have become so brilliant and can relate to people at their level for nutrition. You might have jus saved my life
Dear Dr. Liu - Many thanks to you for all the precious information about the ten foods for eating healthy and its result. I heard a lot of positive information about Loma Linda and people are living longer because of their faith and being vegetarian.
Excellent video. I subscribed because this beats all these very long webinars with 30 doctors saying practically the same things. At the end they just want you to buy whole series with unnecessary long drawn out information. I 'll re-watch this again. Thank you sooo much !❤
A friend sent me a link to one of your videos, & I've been watching them ever since & incorporating what I'm learning into my diet & getting rid of what shouldn't be in my diet. For the first time in years at my annual physical my cholesterol tested below 200!! Thank you for your commitment to teaching solid, truthful information about food & health.
This is encouraging to me. I keep telling my primary care dr. I don’t want a statin drug for my cholesterol. I’m always hopeful I can lower it with nutrition but fail every time. I feel more hopeful watching her videos and incorporating the tips.
YES!.... over a couple of years try different ways of incorporating Chia seeds but none of them were really consistent and some of them were messy so only recently have just taken to keeping a jar of Chia seeds right out on the counter where i prepare food and two or three times a day will put about a tablespoon of them in a small glass of water, and stir or shake them several times while I am preparing my meal, then when I am ready to eat, drink most of that Chia water down along with a couple supplements and just a little more water, then have the rest of the Chia water during my meal... it's been amazing... the most times in my life when i go to "do my business" as you say, I am dropping a series of the coveted "no-wipe" jewels into the throne, smooth and easy and I laugh every time.... saving on toilet paper, too! ch-ch-ch-chia!..🎹
What makes apples so healthy for you is the pectin content. Pectin is not a fake food. In fact you can make your own pectin by boiling the peels and cores of apples.
Grew up eating fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and seafood and poultry. Low cholesterol, and overall good health. Avoided processed high salt and sugar n chemicals. Been healthy most of my life and exercise almost daily ❤️🙏
I was just diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Do you have a video on this? I'm 75 and I watch you everyday. You're excellent. You are thorough on a lay man's level. I appreciate that. Thank you, Jane
Over and over again I am impressed by you explaining these concepts with such effective metaphors and visuals. You would have made a great middle grade teacher (speaking as a retired teacher).
Wow! Thank you for the compliment. I homeschooled all of my kids until middle school, taught science for our homeschooling co-op and was an Awana's Cubbies' Director for several years. My hats off to you as a middle school teacher! I've also chaperoned a few times on middle school field trips.
I have just proven this. My Dr is amazed at how my cholesterol has dropped down to 5.2. It happened quite accidentally by getting into a love of eating 2 apples a day as an after dinner snack.
This was so informative. I need to listen to it over and over and over again. I have sensory problems with some foods like oats. If I bite into a cookie or anything that has oats in it I can't stand it. Are oats still good for you if you grind them down and spread them in meat loaf or on a salad or in a bowl of bran flakes cereal. I am 72 years old and I have not eaten well for most of my life. I am trying to make changes now. Recently I found out that I have a bad liver. It is not from alcohol nor is it a fatty liver. The Doctor really doesn't know what's caused it. They did a Liver biopsy. I had cancer 20 years ago and had extremely heavy chemo. And I am on so much medicine I can't believe it. The chemo damaged my heart. I went over the edge and developed diabetes. I of course have high cholesterol and high triglycerides because of my bad eating habits. I need to find out if my insurance will cover me going to a nutritionist. Because the Doctor just said you need to eat better. Well that's like telling a child with ADHD to go in and clean up their room. They won't be able to do it. They need a detailed explanation as to what to do which is what I need. Are there any books that you can recommend that I can find at the library or possibly purchase that will give me basically the information that you've been saying in this video?
I like reading Dr. Gregor’s books. You might find his books “How Not to Die” and “How Not to Age” very interesting. Also, there are great documentaries like “Forks Over Knives” and “The Game Changers” that share a lot of information on plant-based eating for health. If you type in “plant based” on your search bar for UA-cam you will see hundreds of great videos. Good luck on your health journey! ☮️
You would have been proud of my dinner I made for my son and his girlfriend last week.....I make "spaghetti" out of yellow zuchini. First, I sauted onions and garlic in avocado oil. Then, I added raw nuts- and zuchini, followed by yellow and red peppers from our garden. Oh---and garnished with fresh basil and oregano also from our garden. Was delicious, and I though of you. xoxoxoxo
Thank you for the info. It is important to mention that even organic oats have high levels of herbicide glysophate or roundup, which can cause leaky gut. Also, most US apples are banned in other countries due to high toxic chemicals.
Oatmeal: I buy plain oatmeal and add buckwheat to it, before zapping in the microwave for breakfast. I also pick and choose some seeds or nuts and some dried fruit, so there is variety everyday. Cinnamon is also an option. Between the buckwheat, seeds or nuts, and dried fruit, the palate enjoys a variety of textures as well as tastes.
@@AniBAretz Yup, definitely worth a try, you will not regret it. I don't do sweetness but when I did I would put in a bit of honey in instead of the salt. Both work really well depending on what you want. A bit of ceylon cinnamon also helps it along.
You are very interesting to watch I can say that I am happy to found your channel thank you being a great teacher for us all and keep up the good work 🙏🏽
THIS video is, I believe my FAVOURITE of ALL of your videos! Excellent information delivered progressively and wisely. And thank you for attributing these gifts in foods to being created by God. ❤I'm saving this video, it's a terrific collection of super factual & useful information.
Thank you for making this easy to understand! Makes good sense, and I feel more motivated to eat whole plant foods, and the variety of them. This is a REAL Public Service you have blessed us watchers with! 💙 🐈 Sincerely, Mary B
This video is inspiring! Love the way you showed comparisons and word pictures! Extremely helpful. I stopped in the middle of this video and made up some chia seed pudding! 😋
Thanks for telling us about the eating challenges you’ve dealt with along the way…. I have done it all…. My apoB is really elevated.. had numerous GB attacks and gallstones. Don’t do so well with fiber… will look for delicious recipes to incorporate beans and chia Thank you
Beta Glucan, especially Beta 1_3 Glucan are also one of the best natural immuno stimulants, and best wound healer. The Beta 1_3 Glucans are most found in aloe Vera (unpasteurized) and some beets.
Thank you for all the valuable info in this video, as well as admitting that you used to eat junk food before you knew better. I am hoping to lean more into whole foods and away from the processed ones and lower my cholesterol. You have a new subscriber!
Dr. Liu always brings new information to subjects I thought were thoroughly covered. She is truly a breath of fresh air. ❤ I had no idea that cholesterol is reabsorbed when people are constipated. I feel better about making that large batch of homemade granola this week. I wanted an easy solution to including whole grains in my diet while traveling. It gives me total control over the sugar content as a bonus.
I like this person's information, but like 90% of online informative individuals, she usually goes on and on and on and on. Takes forever to get to the point. She finally did this video right. Within 12 seconds, I now know foods that will help lower cholesterol. 0:12. Most of your viewers don't understand all the complexities. Just get to the point within the first minute. Thank you.
You finaly got to the point after going on and on and on. You know the final 2 words. You could have said those 2 words in the first 2 seconds of your comment. Those 2 words are 'thank you'.
Are you undiagnosed ADHD? Why would anyone want to know the items without a logical explanation of the facts/data? This world is going insane looks like it
Thankyou , this helps very much . I cute my fiber down without realizing it with stressful situation. I am eating more and more . You explain all this well .
Dr. Liu, I am 76, 5' weigh 92 lbs and have good muscle mass from weight training my adult life. However, I always had a 270 cholesterol with a high HDL but my LDL are made of buoyant large molecules, not small dense molecules which, i believe, gave me zero plaque as proven with cardiac imaging tests. Striated LDL and apo proteins can make a high cholesterol irrelevant but many physicians only monitor cholesterol and lipids with striating them and they place the patient on statins, perhaps unnecessarily. ( I am a retired clinical pathology scientist).
At the end you mention 250,000 plants. Do you know anything about cactus and which is edible? Here in west coast they have a cactus with a little red ball on top of each leaf . What do you do think? Thank you for your content Have an enjoy day today with family
Love this video! I have oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, salad with a bean and/or tofu sandwich layered with crispy raw veggies for lunch, and for dinner normally another salad and a grain or starch bowl that includes rice or potato, a steamed vegetable, legumes and cooked tomato. I have no issues ‘going’ first thing in the morning. Normally just once a day in the morning.
Doc you talk about eating fiber for cholesterol and gut health , but you do not mention that many of the foods you mentioned as health food are high in natural sugar. If I eat oatmeal my blood sugar will spike to unhealthy levels (I'm not diabetic). Eating bananas, sweet potato, beans, dates, etc. will spike blood sugar and could potentially cause problems like prediabetes and insulin resistance. What are your thoughts on this ?? Ty..
Doctor, how about intermittent fasting? Does it help if you balance this with whole foods, for women over 55yrs?❤ You mentioned water in a negative context, please would you explain and disect that too doctor?
Waooo, thanks for sharing this video and the amazing information you provide a great opportunity for me to learn and share about this topic. I really appreciate your insight in helping others to understand the importance of this topic 👏💯❤️🙏🏾
I especially love this video. It could have been named "The value of eating whole foods" or "Surprise, surprise, constipation's role in your high cholesterol" or "Wonderful Fiber." And I love that you don't go terribly deep into in each sub-subject of the video. I always want to take notes but information comes fast and furiously -- wonderful, all but not easy to remember everything! Thank you so much so much for your contributions to my good health.

Apples, oatmeal, navy beans, kidney beans, Brussel sprouts, carrots, chia seeds, water, sweet potato, avocado, seeds, broccoli. Stop added sugar. Stop processed food. Stop high processed carbs. Eat barley and oats, mushrooms. Eat whole foods.
Thanks for the summary! Saved time🎉

Oatmeal and barley- too processed - dangerous- causes throat and esophagus issues

Thanks for telling us about the eating challenges you’ve dealt with along the way…. I have done it all…. My apoB is really elevated.. had numerous GB attacks and gallstones. Don’t do so well with fiber… will look for delicious recipes to incorporate beans and chia
Thank you
Beta Glucan, especially Beta 1_3 Glucan are also one of the best natural immuno stimulants, and best wound healer. The Beta 1_3 Glucans are most found in aloe Vera (unpasteurized) and some beets.
Wow, this video was extremely helpful!! Thank you for explaining what fiber is and does for us. Our bodies are amazing! 😁
good presentation.thanks.
Thank you for all the valuable info in this video, as well as admitting that you used to eat junk food before you knew better. I am hoping to lean more into whole foods and away from the processed ones and lower my cholesterol. You have a new subscriber!
Dr. Liu always brings new information to subjects I thought were thoroughly covered. She is truly a breath of fresh air. ❤
I had no idea that cholesterol is reabsorbed when people are constipated. I feel better about making that large batch of homemade granola this week. I wanted an easy solution to including whole grains in my diet while traveling. It gives me total control over the sugar content as a bonus.
This should be cut down into a series of about 15 shorts... great info though❤❤❤ thanks!!! A million!!!
Cookbook please, with photos. 😊
I like this person's information, but like 90% of online informative individuals, she usually goes on and on and on and on. Takes forever to get to the point. She finally did this video right. Within 12 seconds, I now know foods that will help lower cholesterol. 0:12. Most of your viewers don't understand all the complexities. Just get to the point within the first minute. Thank you.
You finaly got to the point after going on and on and on. You know the final 2 words. You could have said those 2 words in the first 2 seconds of your comment. Those 2 words are 'thank you'.

@@Beaglemam-u6jwell said!
Are you undiagnosed ADHD? Why would anyone want to know the items without a logical explanation of the facts/data? This world is going insane looks like it
Chia seeds!!!
Thank you for this very informative video! Can you offer some meal suggestions for Breakfast and Lunch? Thanks!
Thank you for the great info. I'm more motivated to increase my daily fiber now. Excellent video!❤
Thankyou , this helps very much . I cute my fiber down without realizing it with stressful situation. I am eating more and more .
You explain all this well .
I love your video with passion, knowledge, and love for healthy foods. You make it clear what to eat, and why!❤️🌈
Thank you! This is truly valuable information. Thank you
Dr. Liu, I am 76, 5' weigh 92 lbs and have good muscle mass from weight training my adult life. However, I always had a 270 cholesterol with a high HDL but my LDL are made of buoyant large molecules, not small dense molecules which, i believe, gave me zero plaque as proven with cardiac imaging tests. Striated LDL and apo proteins can make a high cholesterol irrelevant but many physicians only monitor cholesterol and lipids with striating them and they place the patient on statins, perhaps unnecessarily. ( I am a retired clinical pathology scientist).
I love this girl. I drink some.chia water most days just for the miraculous om 3. Thanks for great work
I actually pregrind the chia seeds keep in a sealed container.
Great presentation... interesting and quite informative! 👍
I could listen to you for hours. Thank you.
Oatmeal helped me alot and the doctor was surprised at how quick it improved.
Wow so informative, trying to reduce high cholesterol. Thx will continue to watch your videos.
At the end you mention 250,000 plants.
Do you know anything about cactus and which is edible?
Here in west coast they have a cactus with a little red ball on top of each leaf . What do you do think?
Thank you for your content
Have an enjoy day today with family
What about lentils and fiber?
Great content
Now I understand the chia seed soak
Thank you so much
I wrote to Trader Joe's and requested oat groats. Would be great if others did also😊
This video is a great example of why learning how to cook is such an important skill.
Yes. Learning how to cook whole food is priceless.
Love this video! I have oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, salad with a bean and/or tofu sandwich layered with crispy raw veggies for lunch, and for dinner normally another salad and a grain or starch bowl that includes rice or potato, a steamed vegetable, legumes and cooked tomato. I have no issues ‘going’ first thing in the morning. Normally just once a day in the morning.
Thank you for this great explanation - will share it my adult children ♥️
Excellent well explained honest information. Thanks
Dr. Liu, what do you consider a safe cholesterol level?
Questions:
1. What about the oxalates in those much fivers elements?
2. Dosn't fiver make some vitamins less available for the body?
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Great info, as usual! Thank you Dr. Liu! I have gallstones from high cholesterol but I have been able to manage it with a WFPB diet! 💗💗
This is so good. Thank you
Doc you talk about eating fiber for cholesterol and gut health , but you do not mention that many of the foods you mentioned as health food are high in natural sugar. If I eat oatmeal my blood sugar will spike to unhealthy levels (I'm not diabetic). Eating bananas, sweet potato, beans, dates, etc. will spike blood sugar and could potentially cause problems like prediabetes and insulin resistance. What are your thoughts on this ?? Ty..
Doctor, how about intermittent fasting? Does it help if you balance this with whole foods, for women over 55yrs?❤
You mentioned water in a negative context, please would you explain and disect that too doctor?
Waooo, thanks for sharing this video and the amazing information you provide a great opportunity for me to learn and share about this topic. I really appreciate your insight in helping others to understand the importance of this topic 👏💯❤️🙏🏾
Helpful video . Eating too much is also not good
So informative. I love the science bits! Thank you.
You really describe this well . Thankyou .
HMM I have to add chai seeds. I eat mostly veggies and beans but pasta and bread might be keeping my cholesterol too high.
How do you prepare chia seeds?
You are a treasure! What a wealth of information in one short presentation. Thank youg❤️🙏🏻.
Great info
Sooo glad I found you🙌
You explain difficult info sooo easily. Much appreciated🌻
This is excellent!
I add monk fruit, a pinch of Himalayan salt and cinnamon to my oatmeal 😋
Hi thank you so much
I really dislike cooked carrots. I prefer organic fresh carrots. It’s more flavoursome.
I glaze my cooked carrots with orange juice, honey and a dab of ginger.
How about Lectins in oatmeal and barley, etc. that can cause leaky gut.
I’ve heard that soaking the oats reduces the lectins as does fermenting the oats, which is a traditional Scottish recipe.
I especially love this video. It could have been named "The value of eating whole foods" or "Surprise, surprise, constipation's role in your high cholesterol" or "Wonderful Fiber." And I love that you don't go terribly deep into in each sub-subject of the video. I always want to take notes but information comes fast and furiously -- wonderful, all but not easy to remember everything! Thank you so much so much for your contributions to my good health.
Omg, this video make so much since. I've been having stomach pains and had a CT I have gallstones.
I am trying desperately to simplify my eating.
I love the info you have given, though it’s a lot at once,my mind is reeling.❤😊
Also freshly ground flax seed. Grind it yourself.
I'm interested on your thoughts on kidney function and what we should and shouldn't eat to support the kidneys. Thanks in advance.
