Eating fermented foods daily caused my stomach to stay bloated. Once I stopped eating fermented vegetables the bloat immediately went away.
Me too🤔
go at it slowly, you have to train your gut to tolerate fermented foods again. Fermented foods also has a lot of histamines, so it might be a histamine intolerance. Eating green pea sprouts and legume sprouts can help with histamines as it's highest in DAO that blocks histamines.
that means it is working hard to make it better!
I experienced the exact opposite.
Hi John, great vid. I was purely raw whole foods plant based though recently i've added home made veg soups back into the diet. I'm fighting some prostate cancer with the diet. psa tests are encouraging. i find the cooked foods give the heat i seem to require and allows me to carry on eating mostly raw and further i find the cooked foods help with cravings. i think people may get a little too caught up with wanting to be a raw this or that thinking more about idealism and labels than health...
My girlfriend had stage 4 brain & lung Cancer .. 🙏🙏Please include baking soda a teaspoon w a teaspoon honey in a glass of water to your diet OR molasses... 2-3 glasses a day in devided doses... 6 months later she has No cancer at all... She did high Raw. ..
Check your pH by peeing on a pH tape... Once you turn your pH blue the cancer stops... She stayed blue for months💙 Cancer Cannot thrive in Alkaline PH✅
God Bless You🙏
10 years raw, I now include. Seeds, nuts, cooked mushrooms, and beans. Dr Furman style of high raw.
you are amazing.. you learn..you experiment..you grow by diving deep..
When I eat dates I can think faster and my memory gets better.😊
John what about the Arsenic issue in rice? I hope you will address this in a video soon thank you
This helped me tremendously to understand how we need to increase our microbiome with various foods, heat processed and raw…. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
I say, do what makes YOUR body feel it’s best! Simple. If that means, eating an all-dirt eating diet, hey no problem! You do you.
❤ Good morning John ❤ Been watching you since 2013 off and on your great! Keep up the amazing health!
One of my favorite topics to geek out on is Eco-systems in nature and how important it is to understand them, understand each ecosystems job and support it so it remains vital! I've often described my gut as an ecosystem which my family thought was pretty humorous but thinking of it this was reminds me to treat it well so it can function optimally and create better health for me. Still got some work to do but I'm high raw and happy! Thanks for such a useful and honest video!!
Very informative ! If you're buying rice Lundberg organic brand has the lowest arsenic levels.Arsenic levels can be lowered the most by boiling rice in a pot of water as you do with pasta. It cooks a lot quicker this way too. I remember reading a Mercola article about 15 years back about 3 different microbiome colony types . It also mentioned that finding a location to get tested on which type you have was hard to find.I did a search for the testing at the time, was unable too find. Has anyone heard of this?
My mom lived to 103 and ate very healthy but rarely ate any raw foods with the exception of an occasional Greek salad with olive oil and vinegar. She stayed away from processed foods, seed oils, butter, breads, pasteries and sugar. She ate plenty of steamed cabbage and broccoli almost daily as well as lentil and bean soups. She also ate homemade yogurt made from organic non-fat milk on a regular basis. She stayed away from beef but ate salmon and chicken. She had her full faculties, was disease free, had perfect cholesterol levels, never had cancer and never suffered any major or minor disease. She walked six miles a day and was climbing mountains at age 95. If mom hadn't fell and broke her hip she would still be alive and healthy today at 106. There is no perfect one fits all diet, those who believe so are simply close-minded and misled.
I’m very grateful for all you share. So appreciate it John. 👍😎🥰
I feel like food is a tool, and ways we use food can be the tool we need at the time. Raw vegan may be the tool that some people need at a time. I don't believe that anyone should try to force themselves to be raw vegan their entire life. It becomes a purity spiral for some people.
@okraw
Thanks as always for this very informative nd supportive video for my health journey.
You said blending banana and blueberries decreases the amount of polyphenols.
Is oxidation the cause or the combination of the two items?
If former a vacuum blender could save some polyphenols, right?
John, you're a voice of saniety in a sea of craziness. Thanks for providing great diet information. ❤
That seems to me like overthinking. Thanks for the video, John.
Like Nathan Pritikin explained... vitamins and minerals are catalytic agents in the body. I think that's a critical point.
Excellente. I have been doing the same, adding some steamed foods and legumes,and i feel much vitality. One question: how is it named the test to check the microbiome diversity, and how much it costs? Thanks! Very useful your videos, go on in this way. I follow you from Argentina!
Many people were curing cancer with macrobiotic way of eating which is predominantly brown rice 🙏
I appreciate your honesty and ability to think critically SO MUCH! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You’re probably helping a lot of people STAY vegan!🙏🙏🙏
🥰 john is such a wholesome guy and knows so much
Is there a link to the microbiome test you recommend?
I think things even get a new whole turn if someone get s physically active.
I am doing greater than ever because of diet plus a good diet (vegan/vegetarian). I even consume sugar, but at the same time I make sure I get exercise done, since otherwise I would know I would get to feel kind of sick.
What microbiome test do you recommend?
Hello Jon ❤ evolution raw vegan diet ❤🎉🎉
Great video! Thanks!
Interesting thought..why do People become so dogmatic? What's the psychology behind it?
Regarding the diversity of the microbiome. I think it's too tempting to categorise food reactions/symptoms as intolerance. I think we have to be open to the possibility it may not be inherently bad for us. Tolerance may be based on the microbiome diversity that may need building.
I believe in the seasons and the seasons have reasons... Watermelon doesn't grow in the winter... Cooling foods are hydrating for the Summer...
When it's cold outside you want to eat something warm... To warm up your body... It's really common sense... GOD MADE SEASONS FOR A REASON
This is great!! Dietary fat if your over weight can cause so much damage from insulin resistance, more fruit the better, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
Are there benefits of extended fasting for your microbiome?
could be. Extended fasting will change your microbiome, which may be a good or bad thing. If you have a SAD microbiome then it would be good since it can act as a "reset".
If you go long enough the bacteria that make you crave bad foods or feed off of bad foods will die off and your cravings for those foods will likely lessen or go away totally.
👋🏼
Lissa's Raw Food Romance has more different gut flora than you John, while she still eats 100% raw vegan. What are your thoughts about that?
They actually admit they are high raw not 100% raw
@@happyvegan888 Thank you for your reply. Do you have a link of a video where they say this? Because a friend asked Lissa personally and told me she got this on 100% raw vegan.
You said your raw friends with kick ass biomes eat very differently than most raw vegans? WHAT DO THEY EAT??
did you get a coronary calcium scan yet?
🎉🎉🎉
Glad to see that hickey is gone
Goodmorning
Enhanced health ❤
By this logic we also “evolved” eating meat which you avoid
