    I’m an 83 year old lady!When considering food. Always think of your body as a holy temple. Gratitude for life. You won’t even consider cheating yourself about what you put into your body…Just a bit of “food for thought.”😊

      So true. The problem with this is that ppl aren't aware the food is harmful so they believe they are nourishing themselves with poison. You must learn to listen to the God within for discernment.

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
    [00:53] Stem cells in our body contribute to building and repairing blood vessels.
    [03:36] Ursolic acid, a natural plant bioactive found in fruit peels (like apples, pears, cranberries, blueberries), can stimulate stem cells to repair blood vessels.
    [08:31] Dark chocolate (high in proanthocyanidins) can potentially double the number of circulating stem cells and improve blood vessel resiliency in just one month.
    [09:40] Check the label! Avoid hot chocolate with added sugar, emulsifiers, artificial chemicals, preservatives, and stabilizers.
    [10:38] You can make healthy dark chocolate yourself, even without dairy.
    [10:50] Aztec civilization valued cacao so highly it was used as currency and for medicinal/ceremonial purposes.
    [13:57] Appreciate and respect your food! Consider where it comes from, how it's handled, and how you prepare it.
    [14:26] Dr. Li highlights foods to support stem cells: ursolic acid (fruit peels), beta glucan (mushrooms, oats, barley), and cacao (dark chocolate).
    [15:09] Dr. Li acknowledges the challenge of adding healthy foods to a calorie-excessive diet.
    [17:47] Our metabolism is more like an operating system that can be influenced by our habits. ⚙️
    [18:29] Just like laptops, our bodies function best when we take care of them (not abusing them with overconsumption).
    [20:21] Overconsumption of calories can stress and overload your metabolism.
    [21:04] Our bodies don't have a shut-off mechanism for food intake, unlike a car's gas tank. This can lead to overloading our fat stores.
    [21:30] Overloading the body with calories, even from healthy foods, can stress your metabolism.
    [22:41] Overconsumption is bad, but if you have to overconsume, it's better to do it with high-quality foods. ⚖️
    [23:10] Track your food intake for a few days to identify areas for improvement in quality and quantity.
    [23:46] Portion control is key! Try taking only 2/3 of what you normally would to avoid overeating. ️
    [24:41] Avoid mindless snacking after dinner, especially since it can overload your body with calories.
    [24:55] Dr. Li suggests starting your health journey with small, practical tips like portion control and mindful eating.
    [25:21] Information overload can be like overloading your body with food, even good information.
    [28:07] Self-knowledge is key to achieving better health.
    [28:22] Balance external information overload with internal reflection on what works for you. ⚖️
    [29:31] Notice how different foods and activities make you feel to discover your personalized health path.
    [32:02] Beware of information overload, especially when it comes to health advice. ⚠️
    [32:15] Constant social media consumption can hinder self-awareness.
    [34:49] The ultimate knowledge for health comes from self-awareness and what works for your body.
    [35:02] The most successful patients are those who take expert advice and adapt it to create their own personalized approach.
    [35:43] Olive oil contains bioactive compounds, like hydroxytyrosol, that can protect stem cells. ️
    [37:21] Oxidative stress from various sources can damage stem cells, and hydroxytyrosol helps protect them.
    [38:26] Olive oil is a healthy choice for cooking oil.
    [41:11] The peppery taste in extra virgin olive oil is a sign of quality. ✨
    [41:22] Beware of olive oil scams! Look for labels mentioning "extra virgin" and "monovarietal" to ensure quality and avoid diluted products. ⚠️
    [42:03] Monovarietal olive oil is pressed from a single olive variety and typically comes from a single farm, guaranteeing higher quality.
    [42:17] Look for monovarietal olive oil made from Picual (Spain), Koroneiki (Greece), or Moraiolo (Italy) olives for the highest polyphenol content.
    [43:42] High-quality olive oil is an investment in your health, as it provides the most taste and health benefits.
    [44:39] Olive oil is beneficial for blood vessels, contrary to some misconceptions. ✅
    [44:53] A recommended daily intake of olive oil is 3-4 tablespoons.
    [45:21] Examples of incorporating olive oil into your diet:
    [47:13] Prioritizing high-quality food is an investment in your health and well-being.
    [48:21] Eating in allows for more control over the quality of ingredients used in your meals.
    [49:16] A healthy lifestyle shouldn't feel like punishment; self-compassion is key. ❤️
    [49:30] Allow yourself occasional indulgences; focus on getting back on track. ➡️
    [51:33] Olive oil ties into both blood vessel and stem cell health; the video will explore how food choices can benefit both.
    [51:45] Healthy blood vessels are crucial for overall health; they deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
    [52:41] Unhealthy blood vessels hinder your ability to optimize health in other areas of the body.
    [53:51] Blood vessels are not passive; they are dynamic and can be positively impacted by food choices. ✅
    [54:18] Blood vessels are dynamic and constantly maintained by the body for optimal function.
    [55:12] A healthy endothelial layer is very slippery, like an ice skating rink, allowing blood cells to flow freely. ⛸️
    [55:54] Unhealthy blood vessels become "sticky" hindering blood flow and proper delivery of nutrients throughout the body. ❌
    [56:22] Factors like high salt and sugar intake can damage blood vessel health.
    [57:18] Unhealthy fats like saturated fats damage the inner lining of blood vessels, hindering smooth blood flow.
    [58:01] Stem cells can help repair damaged areas of blood vessel lining. 🩹
    [58:15] The body can naturally grow new blood vessels and remove excess ones for optimal function. ✂️
    [59:40] Exercise and a healthy diet are both important for maintaining healthy blood vessels.
    [01:00:34] Leafy green vegetables like broccoli, kale, and brussels sprouts are heart-healthy due to their high polyphenol content.
    [01:00:47] Isothiocyanates, found in cruciferous vegetables, create sulforaphane which benefits metabolism, reduces inflammation, and helps burn fat.
    [01:02:24] Vegetables like leafy greens also reduce inflammation, which can damage blood vessel lining.
    [01:02:39] Dietary fiber in leafy greens feeds gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids that further reduce inflammation throughout the body. ♻️
    [01:03:34] Leafy greens with polyphenols and dietary fiber can reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in blood vessel lining. 🩸
    [01:04:13] Tea and coffee contain polyphenols like EGCG (in tea) and chlorogenic acid (in coffee) that benefit blood vessel health. ☕️
    [01:04:41] These polyphenols in tea and coffee protect blood vessels from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and aid metabolism. gut
    [01:06:58] Calorie restriction and high-quality food consumption are important for optimizing metabolism. ⚖️
    [01:07:54] Cold exposure (like cold plunges) activates brown fat, a special type of fat that burns calories to generate heat. ❄️
    [01:08:21] Brown fat is different from white fat. Brown fat is beneficial and scatters heat throughout the body, while white fat is for storage and can be harmful in excess. Good vs Bad Fat contrasting emojis 🆚
    [01:10:23] Brown fat, a special fat for generating heat, is present in humans (neck, breastbone etc.) similar to hibernating animals.

    [01:12:43] Green tea and coffee contain polyphenols that activate brown fat for burning excess white fat. ☕️
    [01:13:51] Brown fat gets its name from the high concentration of mitochondria, the cell's energy-generating organelles, which are abundant and appear brown due to the presence of iron.
    [01:14:35] Brown fat burns white fat for heat generation. Good vs Bad Fat contrasting emojis 🆚
    [01:15:43] Green tea, coffee, and tomato juice (not mentioned in detail in this video) can activate brown fat to burn excess white fat. ☕️
    [01:16:51] Swapping sugary drinks like soda for beverages like coffee or tea can activate brown fat to burn harmful visceral fat. ☕️ vs
    [01:17:58] Dr. Li recommends incorporating specific foods into your diet that have been shown to burn fat, including:
    [01:19:51] Dr. Li recommends incorporating seafood into your diet for the omega-3 fatty acids, which can activate brown fat to burn harmful white fat. Options include cod, flounder, mussels, clams, shrimp, and even squid and octopus.
    [01:21:30] Proper food preparation is important. Avoid excessive butter and salt to maintain cardiovascular health. Consider steaming or other healthy cooking methods over frying. ڡ
    [01:23:34] Even if you feel you're doing well health-wise, small improvements to your diet can significantly improve brain health as you age.
    [01:25:51] Longevity without good brain health isn't ideal. Focus on healthy choices that improve both longevity and brain function. ✨

    My bride has early onset Alzheimer's with significant dementia. Lately I been putting a tablespoon of 100% organic cacao powder combined with lions main fruiting body and mycelium into her morning bullet proof coffee (I use MCT oil, organic A2 grass-fed butter, filtered water and organic hopefully mold free Palestinian coffee ) and a Tablespoon of cacao in her evening goat milk yogurt. Her decline does seem to have stopped and she seems to be more engaged despite her aphasia. Now if I can just get her glucose levels under control. Even on high fat, medium protein, low carb keto-flex diet and fasting 16 hours a day her glucose levels are 110 -140. She's thin as a rail and just laughs at me saying, "That's cause I'm naturally sweet!" Anyway, this is more great information to use in our battle to fully reverse this disease. Thanks for all you do Rangan and Dr. Li.

We as adults noticed , it was harder to settle the children , by at least an hour to 2 hours of restlessness and overstimulated , We changed back to cocao drink, things went back to managable, i now consume cocao and cloves,made into a drink ,at night and sleep extremely well on it , cheers ❤

    You are saying what so many “so-called” experts are not. We are very unique individuals. Not one “good food” is good for every “body”all the time. What I’ve realized over the the last 13 years as a food & medical intuitive, listening to 1000s of bodies, what a body needs is very unique and changes depending on what is going on with the body and in our life at any given time. For instance, if you cannot digest a food because you have digestive issues, not only is it not good for you, it’s a burden. Thank you for stating the obvious! This is going to be so helpful for so many people!

Then, I went outside to sit and touch Mother Earth 🌎 🙏 ❤ as I did the visualization. I was brought to tears. I meditate. This visualization is different. Even with the tears. There are so many emotions I experienced. I heard,
    'Let go, Love, and Lead'.
    I know exactly what they meant. Hearing the Love and Spiritual Connection you speak of, was rewarding and warmed my heart. I have choose Love over All since I was a teen. Anything else is too heavy. It's hard for some others to understand. My 1st born son of 20 years, who has been through the loss of his father after a 3 year battle with cirrhosis...and everything traumatic we have been through as a family, that I forgive people for, but he just can't understand, and he carries weight that I can see and feel. It's hard for him to understand how I can do this. I am grateful for you both sharing information. Emotional and Spiritual. I so hope he will view and listen to this.
    Everything is a takeaway from this for me!

    The point Rangan makes about tuning into our own bodies I find really fascinating.
    My son, appears unable to tune into his body at all. Whereas, my body practically screams at me what it does and does not need. I don’t even need to think about it , I just know. Although, it can sometimes be a nuisance, I actually consider myself lucky that my body rejects poor food choices.
    I prioritise high quality food, I consider where it was grown, how far it’s travelled, avoid plastic packaging where possible, I will sit in awe of the food, like it’s amazing…how this grew from the land and now it’s this tasty fruit, how lucky am I that I can eat this.
    I drink cacao too, it is very bitter, an acquired taste, but I love it, and drink it as part of a ritual. The best way to get extra dark chocolate is making chocolate covered dates, the fruit counteracts the bitterness and they are delicious! I melt the dark chocolate (85%), drizzle a little into a silicone ice cube tray, add half a date, drizzle a little more, until the date is submerge. Pop in the freezer for 10 mins to cool. They just pop out of the silicone tray, you only need 3 after dinner as they are so rich. Yum 😋

      I have to treat myself like a child. I make rules. Only eat organic. Never eat after 6p.m. Never eat anything with seed oils (so if you are at a buffet or meal made by someone you cant trust to use top quality food just say you have an upset stomach and can't eat). Never eat foods with added sugar. If you follow those rules without exception your diet will be perfect.

    I have kept three simple rules to avoid over-eating and I have never been overweight: If you see your favourite treat in the supermarket and can't resist, say to yourself 'I can always buy that tomorrow, I don't need to have it today' - because half the temptation is that you feel this is the last chance you'll ever have to eat it - and it isn't. Secondly, before having a meal or snack, ask yourself, 'Am I actually hungry?' and it not, delay eating for an hour or two, even if it is 'time' for that meal - you don't need it. Thirdly, don't eat a big meal in the evening if you are not hungry - it won't do you any harm - have half a sandwich or an equivalent if you feel slightly hungry. These rules have worked for me and I love my food. To eat when you are actually hungry IS a pleasure!

      There are no tricks, simply eat as much as you want but don’t eat food with a list of ingredients. Eat meat, vegetables, fish and fruit. Butter, olive oil and spices can be added. All those additives and preservatives not only make people fat, it ages your skin. When I was growing up, my parents wouldn’t allow us to eat processed cheese, soft drinks or bagged snacks.

    To change your eating lifestyle is to never shock your system. Step1- Begin by reducing your food intake per meal portion from 100% to 85% for about a week, then from 85% to 75% portion/serving for a week. Keep on reducing your servings until you reach about 50% and below. This step is very important to get your food bank in your stomach to shrink. The shrinking process is a vital key

    I grew up eating Cantonese style cooking where we sautéed and steamed our vegetables. Olive oil has a very strong flavor that does not complement our style of cooking. I learned about Pecan Oil about 7 years ago from a doctor who turned chef on a PBS channel. It has equal or higher smoking point than Olive Oil. It has a higher viscosity than most commercial oil such as canola or vegetable oil which means I need less as I cook. Most importantly it is not chemically processed, but mechanically pressed which is better for my health. Also, it has a mild flavor which enhances my sautéed food. I’m curious to know what Dr. Li think of Pecan Oil as a physician and health expert.
