Its called dha and its grossly avoided. Eating omega6 throws the omega6 to 3 balance. Saturated fats were found by nonepidemiological science to discredit old science referred to here. Just an awful disservice this is.

His team sued the government because they weren’t doing their job. Props to this man and his team. Hero of the people right there!!
Sued the government?...You should have just wrote this guy a check! Where do you think the government gets it's money. The more they are sued the higher our taxes go up. Vote the dead weight, corrupt, anti-American politicians out (if possible)!
He is a world class man.
This guy is da bomb. I love him. You may not like his goody-two shoe aura, but he knows his stuff ,and does good in the world, unlike many people of his stature, that are just big pharma whores.

How encouraging from a daughter whose parents both died of Alzheimer's. My mom hated vegetables and rarely ate fruit.😢
Alzheimer's is absolutely the last thing you'd want. I took care of my mom for the last ten years of her life. She got to the very last stage of Alzheimer's. They even forget how to swallow. If a room was on fire, a severe Alzheimer's victim wouldn't even know to get out. It's a monster of a disease. My dad had it, too. Heartbreaking.
Take care of yourself mate. Don’t get this dreadful disease
@@vkaitakirwa I will. Thank you. You be well, too.
Sorry for your loss. My aunt has it so sad.
I had no knowledge about this disease. It sounds scary.
So so sorry to hear this
Wow!!
Dr. Barnard is a hero!!
He may not have children but through his education he has "fathered" thousands of "children" who will never forget him. His legacy will live forever!!
May he, just like Dr. Elmsworth live to be over a hundred and still be working at age 95 and older.
What a great talk! He makes it very simple, to summarize do these for reducing risk of Alzheimer's and increase well being:
1. Eat colorful fruits and veggies daily: blueberries, grapes, broccoli etc for better memory.
2. Take Vitamin E to eliminate free radicals from brain but not just from pills but from foods like nuts / seeds (just a few), spinach, mangoes etc.
3. Reduce trans-fat from foods like donuts, pastries; and saturated fats like from Bacon, meat, cheese/dairy.
4. Reduce metals like iron, copper. Do not use iron skillets etc.
4. Exercise: nothing crazy, just do brisk walk three times a week, up to 40 minutes each time.
Do all of the above and one can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by 80% even if you have the gene.
It is a great outline...i wonder what he thinks of Teflon cookware.
Madhu A thank you for summarizing 😘
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank u
"When u lose your memory u lose everyone who ever mattered to you" .. That statement is sadly so on point :(
Thats why people have diaries..
If you are a vegan like Dr. Bernard your risk of Alzheimer's goes up sharply.
@@newyorkguy158 Oxysterols, consumed exclusively from animal products, are believed to be the driving force behind Alzheimer's Disease. Large cohort studies like the Mediterranean also reiterate: Less plants, more animal products, more dementia.

@@Mercymurv "believed to be'" doesn't prove anything. I haven't read anything about a connection between eating animal products and dementia. I would have to see the nature of the proof. I'm sure that it is extremely thin!
There is a 2013 video on youtube in which Dr. Greger says that vegans/vegetarians have 3 times the Alzheimer's of meat eaters as well as the same rates of heart disease and cancer. The Alzheimer's makes sense, because so many vegs are deficient in B12, as are older people. I eat little meat and lots of vegetables, but regard a vegan way of eating to be high risk and I supplement with B vitamins, including B12. Since Alzheimer's has been referred to as type 3 diabetes, I think it more likely that it is a high carb, high sugar diet that is likely to be the key causative factor.
You turned the pain of losing your Dad into a simple, informative, random act of love to help prevent further suffering ❤️ you Dr Barnard, are very cool 😎 thank you
I’m so glad I found this video while studying for my anatomy class. I’m only 15, and I’m very great full I can get a head start on working on keeping my brain healthy :)
It's never too early to start taking care of your body! Studies have shown that things like heart disease can start developing even in early childhood (a huge percentage of American children already have fatty streaks in their coronary arteries). You'll be doing yourself a huge favor by starting to follow a healthy lifestyle now. :)
That‘s the idea! :D

The fact you can use a phone and are 80 years old is impressive Sir I know plenty of oldies who try out a phone and feel like it's a piece of alien technology
Amazing.
@@JoCo480 yes, if you are past 70 you are computer illiterate.
@@gf4353 I guess the others didn't eat healthy.
@@bendejo8 not everyone knows what healthy is, they just think they know.
I am from india. Our food was like you describe it. Our snacks were made from jaggery and nuts. And then Pepsi and coke came in, lays chips became common. We forgot yoga. There’s a lot of good practices that should be brought back- which includes what to eat and when to eat.
The West came to destroy ..the wise leave all destructive processes ..eat no rice no chapati ..have nuts seeds fruit veges..bajra. Jowar rotis all fasts started in India. Go back to a big OMAD ..one meal a day..have ghee or oil from mustard n coconut ..
@@sangeeta963 i always wonder why mustard oil is banned in eu and usa yet so common in india seems fishy
Yeah, the West is so bad. Dont use UA-cam.
Very specific excellent skill to identify right balanced analysis
@@ciaran6309 the doc is advocating veganism not vegeatarianism which ayurveda says is good
This video needs to be in recommended to everyone.
Should it though? Not all of it is strictly accurate.
@@sammylpt9076 Which part exactly?
@Wille The foods are veggies and fruits. The more colorful the better. Blueberries. Carrots. Grapes leafy greens. Nothing processed or made by man. Only things that grow in nature. No oils because they have saturated fats which clogs your arteries. Called a Whoke Food Plant Based Diet WFPB Diet. Cures all diseases not just memory diseases. Heart disease diabetes. Auto immune diseases. Eat right and your body knows how to heal itself. Nothing new. It has been known for many years. Many good doctors who have done their own research know it. But they don’t teach this in medical school!! Why? Who runs the medical schools--the pharmacy industry!! We live in a corrupt world. PS. No animal foods !
@@sammylpt9076 Zaza
I'm a biochemist and vegan for more than 30 years. I'm grateful for doctors like Dr. Barnard who have been fighting to deliver this information to the public.
Wow a vegan who has to say they're vegan, what a surprise
@@skythdicnri88 Yup, and a biochemist too
@@skythdicnri88 it applies to the topic being discussed. Why are you so triggered by that? That was a rhetorical question, no reply necessary.
Being vegan doesn't disqualify you from health problems. There are plenty of vegan foods that are full of health deteriorating ingredients.
@@Tash6143Did you actually watch the video? I would love to know what berries have a deteriorating health effect.
All processed foods can be bad, nonvegan or vegan, but if you use that as a reason to consume the standard American diet, it will not end well for you.
"We sued the government"
I appreciate this man and his whole team. The government makes too much money off peoples suffering.
exactly. a perfect depiction of this was the dairy section on the plate diagram. with all the scientific knowledge there is about how dairy is actually detrimental to health yet the dairy industry makes huge donations to the us government and recieve massive tax subsidies and despite this is included in the health guidleines.... interesting
I know doctor$ and in$urance companies are sitting comfortably because of the advice we are given by those whom "care" for our health.
A good video, but I when talking about the Food Industry & FDA, I was very disappointed that High Fructose Syrup wasn't mentioned.
NOt only the Government but look at pharmaceutical industry. Look at the infomercials selling snake oil and other such things. Weight loss products etc etc etc..

I know. And now Bill Gates is buying up acres of farmland, planning to get rid of cows and will make us an "artificial steak" that he just knows we're going to love. When will America wake up and do something. I'm too old to run for anything, no one wants another 85 yr old in congress. We're really in a bad situation with the people we just elected.
Very good information, but do NOT underestimate the importance of sleep and stress. Not enough sleep and too much stress literally kills brain cells. And so do diet soda.
Don't do any soda eat only meat drink only water
I only eat water and drink meat
Yes! I totally agree with you! Plus, I think that is when you lose weight... when you're sleeping... I think our bodies do their after hours "maintenance" work while we're sleeping...
diet soda ? seriously ?
@@zibtihaj3213 yes! Aspartame kills brain. Research!
Not only was this some of the best content I’ve ever read on dementia, but he is an outstanding speaker. I cried at the end. I’m so grateful for what he helped accomplish with terminating the food pyramid.
Me Too... My gal friend has early Dementia and genetically predisposed... This has to Help
Thank you so much for this! I’m 23 and play time is really over when it comes to health. At the end of the day it’s nobody’s responsibility but your own so I’m trying to do better for myself and my babies!
This is a bit dated.. The studies on sleep in recent years have turned out to be a big factor. Lack of sleep (under 7 hours) leads to the buildup of those proteins he discussed in the brain.
Look up Mathew Walker.. Mind blowing stuff when he went on JRE couple years ago.
This man and his colleagues advocating for whole plant foods are heroes to me, because following their advice has reversed my heart disease. Proven with ultrasounds of my carotids and aorta, four years apart. It really is do-able.
Congratulations on overcoming some of your health issues!👏👏👏💞😘

Natalia A Ciccone F and
It's so refreshing to hear someone speak intelligently about why the vegan diet works best - I agree.
Vegans die much earlier than meat eaters. Look it up.
Yes yes yes!!!! I've been taking plant-based diet for almost a year. And some of my diseases or symptoms are disappearing day by day. 😍🥰🥰
keep it up then
I admire people that can change their life around - i can't 😔
KETO VEGAN + FASTING=INSANELY GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!
I’ve not been able to perform on jobs. Unemployed due to this. No income. I feel stuck. Don’t know what to do.
@@gwendolynwilliams7177 due to plan-based diet? I don't buy it. Can u explain more?
"Genes are not destiny". I think that's a powerful and very courageous message. Thank you for this video it has enriched my knowledge alot more.
Summary of the video:
1. Eat less saturated Fat (e.g. meat, milk products etc).
2. Consume more antioxidants ( e.g. vitamins "E" will take care of free radicals.
3. Eat more anthocyanins (e.g. fruits of different colors) .
4. Take a walk regularly (recommended 3 times in a week). hippocampus will work much better.
Although meat is high in zinc and iron which actually are helping the brain power.
Thanks for summary
Thanks it's a good video but I don't feel like watching it again.
Thanks for saving me the time.
NCY George Apparently you weren’t listening
I freakin' love this guy. You could feel his emotion when he started to talk about his Dad...
Rasoi show in Gujarat
Rasool show. In gujrati
Akuma loved.him
emotion is not scientific and is used by the snake oil merchant in selling their wears. The emotion is to sell a story regardless if it has any merit or is just BS.
At around 6:40 in the video he talks about Iron and copper in the brain and talks about a rusting fry pan. this is absolute crap. we have many minerals (metals) in our body and of course they are in an oxidized form. Iron makes up the majority of our blood as being the major component of Hemoglobin. without it we will not be able to transport oxygen to the cells or brain.
once you have to revert to emotion and distortions, any truth if it exists, is lost.
entertaining yes, accurate not really.
there is an agenda in Dr Barnard's talks and they all revolve around a vegan or no meat diet. it would be interesting to find out if there are any pecuniary interests at play.
his emotional talk is minimal-but his research is at the most interesting-worth a try
5 years old but knowledge never dies. This video can change your life. Thank you
I can relate. My mum passed away last March after 16 years of Alzheimer’s. Five year as a complete vegetable. She was diagnosed at 66, quite young actually. I was 34, too young to loose your mum, too young to parent a parent. All the women in her family died of the same illness. I became vegetarian (almost vegan) years ago, just by chance, then started running, cycling long distance. Again by chance. I didn’t know I was fighting my genes (and the fear, a paralyzing fear sometimes!!!) that way. I’ll keep eating a plant-food diet and exercise daily. Keep learning new things (my job helps luckily). I also stopped drinking alcohol and started meditating. Women in my family had bad genes, yes, but they never changed their lifestyle. I have. This is my personal bet I can fight my genes. I am fortunate enough to have access to this content as my English is near native levels. But many Italians can’t and I think they’re missing a lot of vital information. Thank you for your researches and for sharing. You and other like you (dr. Greger eg) can really change the life of people worldwide. And I also thank my mum who always encouraged me to study a lot and travel
Holy shit I did not know he was born in 1953!!!!
He looks 40!!! Sounds 30!!!
Whole Foods Plant- based diet for life :)
I love Neal.
Yeah he looks great! Yet he is forgetting that he was raised with eating some meat, dairies and animal fat. I doubt he wouldn't have these good bones structures and good genes without that kind of diet. And you don't know what else he is eating in large quantity to compensate for not eating meat or animal products...
Almost everyone from his generation was raised on an omnivore diet which include meats. I am only guessing here but it's most likely the truth.
Sattack210 he literally said it in the video, he mentioned his mother cooking bacon and then egg with the bacon grease
@Chibi Alien
Spoken like an angry little kid. Some day you'll grow up I suppose.
Diet effects your genetics?
The best line " genes are not ur destiny"❤️
To
Genes are just reactive to their environment. There are several types of environment: your external environment （weather and temperature and air pollution）, your internal environment （nutrition or fast food. ）and your social environment（Do you get your daily dose of pheromone exposure and friendly smiles? i know this Covid-19 isolation is making people depressed or down right crazy. ）May the inner peace be with you. ☮️🎼🎶🎵Happy holidays. ⛄✨😸🐕✨
Correction. "genes, are not, destiny"

Thank you, Dr. Barnard. My condolences about your father. Thank you for sharing your story and for dedicating your life to helping people live long, healthy, happy lives. I have never met you but I consider you to be one of my doctors. I follow your advice & enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
I am a person who is very concerned about physical and mental health. I am on a healthy diet recommended by my dietitian who works for National Health Service UK. I am also doing aerobic exercises and brisk walking regularly. But I never knew that brisk walking makes my hippocampus bigger, which improves my memory. I am so grateful to Dr Neal Barnard. This is one of the best presentations I have ever come across.
Look up Mark Mattson. If you want to slow or prevent neurodegenerative diseases, then one should fast. Even better if you do cardio in a faster state.
Wow! So glad I cut out meat and dairy 3 years ago! I'm sharing this all over my social media. And sending the link to my dad. Thank you Dr. Barnard!
yay!

You don't have to end all meat and dairy. It is the amount that harms.
you might as well
Illicit - True! The difference between something that's healthy or poisonous is dosage. Just like too much water or oxygen in your body is harmful.
I watched this video 6 months ago and it’s still effecting my life today in the most positive way. I think this is the most important Ted talk I’ve watched
Omg when he started talking about his dad again at the end … 🥺 this was not only educational but also … touching

Thank you, Dr Neal Barnard. I wish my mother knew what you've just taught. She would not have suffered from Alzheimer's. It brought such agony to both my mother and her family that I wish no one in this world would ever have that awful illness. When my mother passed away I had no more tears to weep for her; I only had only tears of joy that, at last, she was free from her immense suffering. I miss her, but not her agony. She's in Heaven now where she suffers no more.
+Philo Logos, my sympathies to you and your family.
Look for video speaking about coconut oil
I think I know how you feel Philo Logos; my mother suffers from dementia and it is amazing how fast she went from having trouble with words and names to not knowing who her own offspring are, not being able to speak, walk, or take care of herself. It's pure heartbreak for us, her family, and I cannot imagine what it is like for her. And of course there is the question: Am I next?
@@glennrueger8689 I think about this every day. If I forget someone's name I ask myself if these are the first signs. My mom now has Alzheimer's...or she had a series of mini-strokes. She hasn't been diagnosed formerly.

Thank you Sir for your life saving research and efforts. My condolences on the loss of your father. May your accomplishments help others not have to suffer your pain. God Bless you. 🙏😔👍
I had grandparents on both sides of my family that struggled with Alzheimer’s, which is one of the many reasons I decided to go on a plant-based whole food diet and also convinced my parents to do the same..
My dad has lost 50lbs and was able to cut his meds in half, I’m 35lbs down and have twice as much energy and stamina and my crazy heartburn that I struggled with for years went away in a couple weeks.. and I’ve only been on this diet for 5 months! Thank goodness for people like Neal that are out there spreading the word about this life-saving lifestyle.
I had been taking Nexxium for 10 years--stopped needing it as soon as I went WFPB 7.5 years ago. Take care.

One of the best TEDx Talks so far. Really loved his presentation style.
Thank you so much Dr. Barnard. My sister had brain cancer and died last year 😭😭😭😭😭 I wish we would have watched this earlier. When you said it was too late for your father, I actually felt the pain 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭!! And I really like it when you said genes are not the destiny !!!! Eat the colorful food and become healthier ~ Thank you, thank you so much, really. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
my papa died of cancer. i wouldn't leave his side the entire time. at that point i had already made my diet change. and it broke my heart realizing "if he did this 10 years earlier...maybe he wouldn't be in this amount of pain now". He couldn't even handle fiber anymore.....
sheesh hearing you peoples stories really gave me more motivation
Eating healthy isn't just about us, it's about the people who depend on us, who love us, who want us around as long as possible. This is a way to make the most of life and if we don't take this opportunity, we miss out on the prolonged years of living we could have spent doing so many amazing things.
Yes. I don't want to make my family become caretakers of my sick body due to my choices. It's not fair to them.
Not to mention the environment
Thank you for this video. In 2013, I flew through a window head first because of a drunk driver. I sustained many injuries, including a Traumatic Brain Injury. And this video just helped me! Thank you! Sorry for your lost, I understand your purpose. Your father is proud!

But those animals HAVE hormones...whether farm raised or free range...why should we be eating OTHER animals' hormones? Just saying...see?

Sadly the truth is another... The ideal is to be able to use your body and diet fats. As your body is the one of a predator, you don't have 4 stomachs as a cow nor a gut designed to eat all day without health side effects. This guy has outdated information.
Veganism is a happier story to buy...it's like a Disney movie where all the creatures live and play together. It is seductive in that way. It "seems" like it would be healthiest. It's not. We do better with amino acid profiles of meat, and low carbs that keep insulin down and HGH up.
This hits my heart. I wish I had known this when my Father was suffering from cancer. I'm not saying it would have saved him....but it certainly wouldn't have hurt.
Another outstanding presentation by Dr. Barnard. First saw him about 2 years ago at a Rotary District Conference where he presented on "Healthy Lifestyle". Thank you Dr. Barnard

I suffered from sever attention deficit all my life. As a child I used to think I was just not as smart as the other kids. Over the years I learned to cope with my ADD. Finally in my late 40's when it started affecting my work, I decided to go on medication. Fast forward a couple of years I heard about the Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting. I decided to give that a try to lose some weight and surprisingly I noticed a change in my focus and clarity. I was all of sudden have bursts of super focus and my mind was not wandering. I have been on the Keto diet for now 6 months and have no trouble focusing. I am not medical expert but I love the new found focus, I have lost 35 pounds. I am also a long distance runner, before Keto I would carb load before a race like a half marathon, now I run a half marathon without putting an ounce of carb in me. So though I don't claim to be an expert, I love the positive changes that Keto and Intermittent Fasting has made in my life. Just my two cents !!!
You are so right and I'm so happy to read this! Congratulations to your progress!
I have much energy, Getting excercise will make me less hyper and ADD
Had you read the life of the final prophet Muhammad peace be upon him you would know that he fasted and recommended to eat nutritious food in season and also included nuts, dates, water, milk, honey, never consumed alcohol or anything derived from swine. Rest and mental/physical exercise as well as God consciousness followed with good actions.
Alzheimer can be avoided other ways too, not just the vegan agenda way...
Amazing!......I just can't say this enough but, Dr. Barnard is such an amazing , smart , sweet and beautiful human being.....I have so much respect for him, .............love him!
Dr. Barnard is all of those things, and also very easy on the eye ;-)
LOL...yes he is very cute!....and his voice is beautiful also...
can't a man be appreciated for his intellect rather than some sex object - disgusting
Mike, I think you worry too much....his intellect is what is adored here, ....however if someone also likes to express there liking of his outer beauty,.... I see nothing wrong with that.

Ridiculous attack on your decent comment on Dr. Barnard...silly person.
My mom passed away from diabetes. I studied health and nutrition for my own path, so as to not get diabetes myself. What I wouldn't do to be able to go back and have the same conversation 😘💝 thank you for this video, as my b/f is struggling with mild cognitive issues..I hope I can help eliminate some of his progression of his path..✌️ 💕 🕯️
I've heard Dr. Neal Barnard speak several times and have followed his advice for decades. I've been vegan for over 35 yrs. (now a senior) and can honestly say that I've never been ill during that entire time, even during cold/flu season. People assume I must take lots of vitamins or pills, but I don't take any supplements. Everything is just from consuming nutritious food and leading a healthy lifestyle. I originally became vegan for ethical reasons -- becoming healthier was an accident!
I love how cheerful, fun & empathetic this guy is :).
Join my motivational channel in much sweet English.
May Allah reward you
This hit me right in the feels, Dr Barnard, as I’ve lost family members to Alzheimer’s. Thank you for sharing; I will do the same.
A doctor a healer a teacher for the LOVE of life and health in Animals and humans. Imagine many doctors like him
He talks so well, clear and interesting. I think the best speaker. I can’t stop listening and it’s interesting and very informative. Thanks
What an inspirational video. I am 36 and suffer from a lot neurological issues including memory lapses. I need to focus more on my diet.
Medical medium and Dr William Li also Barbara O’Neill on you tube can help you
Nakiya, from my personal recent experience with continuing significant recovery from 20 years of a neurological diagnosis, check out Intermittent.fastingvwith at least a 16 hour fasting window, proper full supplementation including marine iodine drops and safe body detox. You won't get these solutions from allopathic medicine. Seek out functional medicine foctors. I learned all I used on YT videos. Lots of YT videos with cross checking info on searches for concepts and supplements new to me. Just now discussing with my doctor's. Underlying cause for me is parasiees. Won't be true for everyone, but for many more than many doctors will acknowledge still. Today
@@patriciagriffin1505 YES! BARBARA O'NEILL! @NakiyaParkes
@@DK-cd8og I hope this helps she’s a gifted nurse and a strong believer!
If you remember, could you add a comment here to update about your current status. Did the improved diet help with your memory?
In my experience (just based off observation), I feel that movement and using your brain, whether its reading, writing, building things, or anything that causes you do have to figure something out, is the best thing you can do above diet. NOW, I know that diet makes a difference. I am just basing this off the people that are old 70+ and still cognitively sharp.
I had the same experience with my dad that he did. My dad was only 62 when he died of Alzheimer's (top 10% for how young he was). He was always on the lazier side. Looking back after he already got really bad, I realized that he wasn't just lazy when it came to doing chores around the house but anything that required him to critically think like reading instructions, or having to figure something out, he'd generally shy away from or take the easiest route possible. He used to be horrible at cleaning up around the house, always wanted people to do stuff for him and wasn't that organized of a person outside of his interests like music (guitars, amps etc) and anything to do with his motorcycle.
I started observing a lot of people that are 70+ that are mentally sharp and realize they are always doing things for themselves. Still cutting their own grass, taking care of the garden, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc... A lot of those people I am referring to still eat meat, dairy, pastries etc. Now I'm sure there's more to it and genes play a roll as well but I do not feel like those people have particularly great diets but they all are hard workers and always want to do things themselves.
That's just what I have observed. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Those are very valid points. I'm no psychologist/psychiatrist but I wanted to point out that your dad had classic symptoms of undiagnosed ADHD. I only mention it because I at 31 found out I have it, and just KNOWING about it and educating myself makes all the difference in the world. Sorry to hear you lost your dad and thank you for sharing that.
@@dpa8184 Since being diagnosed with ADHD, what have you done different? Were you prescribed a medication, if so, what is it and has it helped? Also have you done anything differently lifestyle-wise
So agree with you!
This information is imperative to our well bring as we age! We nerd to share this via social media to our family, friends, celebrities, and to politcians!
Neal, thank you. Sorry about the loss of your father. My father passed in 2011, and I did not get back in time from my PhD research at hospitals in Kazakhstan.
He holds an amazing skill of conveying very useful info by a great story telling. I loved his presentation and the communication
I've been whole food vegan, oil free for 6 months. I have lost 45 lbs. My waist has gone from 42 to 36. And my mind feels sharp as a tac. Impoved memory and problem solving.
TheCommunistGamer woohoo! If only more people knew it was the answer. :)
TheCommunistGamer, YOU ROCK!💚
Hello, can you advise what is the menu you used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Good for you, Gamer...you've locked onto lifetime wellbeing. (And if you just say you're "whole food plant based" that tells us what you DO eat, rather than describing yourself with the V word, which only tells us what you DON'T eat, and which seems to inflame other posters on public forums like this one.) Stay with it forever...you've found the secret.
Can you elaborate on the no oil part? I mean there are healthy oils (cannabis coconut etc)
thank you

DrBarnard, at your best as always. Many thanks for such a candid,splendid talk
Sir i was having so many health issues. I saw your video around Dec 2022.. then i started the way you described. I am really really thankful for your contribution. I am obliged. May God bless you. In around 5 months my weight came to 72KG from 91.5.. my height is 5' 11" and age is 35. Still my belly is out a little bit. Anyhow i dnt care if it remains out or not because i know its not for weight loss but Its a lifestyle I will continue for my life and thus i am sure one day my belly will be no more out. So just thanks a lot. I am super relaxed now. No numbness in my legs, no stress, no nothing.... ❤
My belly is still out some too, but I too got my weight down on the diet he recommends. I hope you stay with it. I have for 7 years.
Even though this is my second time watching this I feel as if I am learning even more. It doesn't hurt to watch things twice when they can help you live your best life as this program does. Really enjoy the way he is so down to earth and not condescending or preachy!!!! I think I will have to check and see if he does any more talks!
Lollll lllllllllll like l
Okay
Please pp
I definitely appreciate his doen to earth attitude. He doesn't come across condescending or preaching which makes him more likeable as well as being able to reach a wider audience.
type Chef AJ in youtube she interviews Dr Barnard and other informative doctors, fascinating talks, studies etc.
Great information my family is practicing the my plate plan with out even realizing it.I’v loss 22lbs,my daughter loss 41and my son in-law 47 we walk a lot it’s amazing we have so much more clarity,energy and over all good health.
We r so blessed with people like him.May God continue to give him more n more wisdom for d world
One of the best, most empowering talks on health and the impact we can have through the simple choices we make at the grocery store … thank you so much for sharing, because the government doesn’t profit from doing so, and we have to rely on remarkable individuals such as you to spread the word.
Thank you, so much Dr. Bernard. I really appreciate watching this and I learned so much!I feel like I empathize with you, on the loss of your father and I hope that your heart is healing well holding on to your memories of your dad. In heaven, you will see him again.
I was just looking for a video to tell me what to eat now so I can study well but I’m glad I got more than I was looking for. I’m already a pretty healthy girl but this inspired me to be more specific and intentional in my healthy ways
Now what I would like to do is to go back in time, and I want to sit down with my dad, and I want to say, “Dad, I found out something really important. We can change our diet, we don’t really need that cheese and that bacon. There’s plenty of healthy things that we can eat. Let’s bring in the colorful vegetables and fruits, let’s make them part of our everyday fair. Let’s lace up our sneakers, let’s exercise together.” It’s too late for him. But it’s not too late for you.
It’s not too late for me either, and if we take advantage of what we have now learned about how we can protect our brain, then perhaps, families will be able to stay together a little bit longer.
Hardest line was “what I would like to do it, is go back in time, and I want to sit down with my dad” 😢 powerful talk! His passion and drive to change people lives speaks volumes! You’re dad would be proud!
Thanks for the great lecture.. I could feel how much sorry you felt for your dad declining mental health in his later years due Alzhiemer and seeing what that entails. May he rest in peace
I've been chopping 2-3 cloves of RAW garlic everyday for the last 2 years. My Blood Pressure prior, was around 138 or 92. After a couple of months my blood pressure went down to 111 or 70. Also since taking it I haven't gotten any sicknesses such as the flu or a cold. I give a spoon full of RAW chopped garlic to my wife and two children atleast 4 times a week. They went for a visit to the Philippines with a bunch of family members. Once they arrived in the Philippines everybody in the group got food poisoning except my family; I read that Raw Garlic kills the bacteria from the degraded food in the stomach, stopping you from getting sick. After that incident all of my extended family members have started eating Raw Garlic weekly. If you rub a sliced piece of garlic onto acne, in a few days it will dry up and disappear. I had a tooth cavity and rubbed garlic on it and the pain went away. If you rub sliced garlic onto your mouth gums it will eliminate gingivitis without medication. One other major benefit of eating RAW Uncooked Garlic is mosquitoes won't bite you. The mosquitoes smell the garlic in on your skin and are repulsed by the smell and taste, I'm speaking from experience. The list of benefits from garlic goes on and on. WHAT TO DO: Chop up 2-3 cloves of RAW Garlic on a plate, let it sit for 15 minutes so the chemicals in the garlic mix ( the chemical mixing is the secret ). Then take a spoon and swallow the RAW Garlic with a spoon and a glass of water ( don't chew it or you'll have horrendous breath ). Do this 4-5 days a week and you'll immediately start seeing the Health benefits. Remember for acne elimination you have to apply it externally. God Bless.
Wow simply wow!!!
How do I copy this to my neice email?
Thank you 🌻
Please don't take this nonsensical comment as actual health advice. Get an opinion from your doctors. If you doubt the first, get a second from a different doctor, and so on.
He is my hero Dr Neil n I watch/ listen to him daily just to remind myself to eat colourful fruits and vegetables 🥦 plus exercises ( n just one piece of steamed salmon a day my own choice n no meat.) I am 88 and very active visiting friends/ people in care homes and hospitals 2-3 times a week. I don’t drive and take public transport daily. I am told I have no wrinkles (maybe they need glasses) I cycle 3000 pedals on a mini cycle machine daily and it takes 40 minutes . I used to walk one hour in the morning and the same in the afternoon. I don’t have a TV but I watch TEDx a lot especially subjects about improving the brain and the heart as I have a pace maker. I have been playing 2 games of 10 pin bowls each week with a friend for over a year and the highlight of the week. I thank Dr Neil for all the above………eating well.
My Grandma who died at the age of 104 years, had incredible memory till the last week of her death. She literary had no reason or cause for death. All her organs were still fine and were functioning to the required extent for the age. She unfortunately had a stomach ache for 3 days, she stopped eating suddenly and happened to be hospitalized and died in hospital. Until then, she was never hospitalized for any health issues to my knowledge. Her skin was glowing and she could read and write, even at that age. I have never seen her complain about anything expect for some fatigue and some hearing problem since 2 months before her death. She is vegetarian to the core. Had her coffee even till last days. Ate neat clean homemade food only (till her last day at home). Her lifestyle was so perfect. Even till the last week, she used to wake up at 5AM in the morning, goto bed at 9.30PM. I'm 35 YO now and have only seen her having the same disciplined routine, like a machine in her life. I have big time learned from her, that life style and food habits are the important factors that determine the quality of life.
Wow! That’s awesome. I’m 50 and just now learning this stuff. Been a vegan now three weeks and feel wonderful. Not turning back.
Fasting eases spiritual battle in religion ,it genuinely helps with anger,lust envy, competitive behaviour ,this is why fasting is so important for our brains and souls
Please elaborate. How long, how often? What is the first thing you eat afterwards? I'm very curious now.
@@Sool101 hey man watch "Dr amen ra" he does a great explanation to why fasting is important with scientific facts
@@willx1598 thanks will do! Funny name though but will hear what he has to say. I'll let you know.
Fasting makes me hangry. You don't wanna be around me when I'm hungry.
I agree , i'm fasting Ramadan & i can tell you that i have less stress now. Beside that benefits for the gut so the brain
I'm from Greece,and I have lost my mom because of this terrible illness....thank you so much for all your effort Dr, we should treat ourselves and those around us better, nowadays meat and milk products (massive scale production) are only similar to real meat and milk, in terms of appearance....God bless you Dr,you and your noble effort!!!
Amazing message, my grand father is dead this year. He had the disease at the age of 50 and then it got worse. Take care of your loved ones.🙏
Thankful for such a great information! Hope everyone will see this and somehow get the idea . Its never too late to start 💕
