Personally, the hardest part about being vegan is seeing loved ones suffer from preventable lifestyle-related health issues. No matter how much scientific evidence you provide that a whole foods plant-based diet can be very healthy and beneficial, a lot of them just won't listen... 😢
***** It's really sad.. A doctor even told a few of my family members that diet has nothing to do with illness because "everyone gets something"...I was so angry when he said that.
I can strongly relate. most of my close friends and family have terrible lifestyle habbits. and they just dont know or dont care that their health will most likely be shit as they get older.
Thank you! I've been trying to get through to my mother about a plant based diet for her heart disease and I've sent this to her to watch. She's on a two in one type medication for her heart disease and high blood pressure, something she doesn't normally have until... after reading the product information leaflet, the medication for her heart disease has the side effect of creating high blood pressure! I don't want to lose my mother because she views a plant based diet as extreme and won't attempt it. I pray the veil will be lifted from her eyes before it's too late.
Good luck. I've tried to convince my mother to just try it for a day. So far I have not been successful. The same old food is more important to her that her life.
I went plant based almost 6-months ago, and my body won't stop thanking me for it. I had severe tendonitis in both arms, to the extent where I had to wear braces on both arms, all day, every day. If I skipped a day, the severe burning I would get in my elbow area rendered my arms useless. I was told I can try surgery, with maybe a 50/50 shot of working, or just get used to living with the braces. Only a few weeks after going plant based, my tendonitis is gone!
Love you Dr. Greger. Been watching your videos for 3 years. I was raised on Top Romen, didn't have family & didn't know what to do when I went Vegan. I thought all herbs & spices were bad, lIke salt was. You completely changed how I eat, which is so important because if I'm going to be seen as the token Vegan, I want to show how healthy it is to be. You've had more positive effects on my life than anyone in my life... and I'm 42 years old. Once I'm out of my internship program, I'll be able to donate more. ♡Love you!!
Dr. Greger has to be one of my favorite plant based doctors! Keep these videos coming because I going to keep sharing them with my family! Maybe one day they will listen, hopefully before it's too late.
I'm 27, have anxiety that makes me think I'm going to have a heart attack soon...I want to have a healthy heart as I enter my 30s. I am regretful for the past 5 years, when I was in college, I ate nothing but junk foods.
Dr. Greger you have changed the way I eat. I used to be only concerned with staying skinny. But your videos have changed the way I look at food. Thanks a lot. I am a ethical vegetarian trying to go vegan for my health. I also supplement with b12 and D3. I've switched to almond milk and I'm getting lots of greens and fresh herbs in my diet. My mood has changed and since I started eating more fruit I no longer crave massive amounts of sugar. Instead I eat berries.
With 11 or 12 I had high blood pressure and my doc wanted to give me pills. My dad had bought only real shit to eat. :-( I became vegan with 14. Now I am 24 & my blood pressure is at his best. Long live whole foods! :)
I checked. The AHA says that it's not possible to heal damage to the heart. But now there's new research on a compound that, when injected, helps the heart to heal itself.
My father, now 89, was supposed to have bypasses 3 years ago. Instead, he veganized his food: Now not only can he go hiking again, he has taken all 3 blood pressure tablets off - after 40 years of use. Now he only takes Metoprolol 50 mg 1-2 times a month. He measures blood pressure almost every day.
Update: For a year now, my father has been raving about lamb chops again. At first I just took note of it and kept silent. 9/21 he suffered his first heart attack, 4/22 his second. Now he's complaining about his 8 tablets a day. So I suggested he eat like I do. His answer: I'd rather die than eat grass. :-(.
Absolutely love this channel, I've recently found it and started watching every single video from the beginning and taking notes. I've installed the Daily Dozen app, but I'm confused a little bit: - Isn't it hard to generalize the daily portions for everybody ? We are at different ages, some are training hard etc. - For each food group there is a section called "Serving Sizes". Do we have variants of one serving there or they all combined make one serving ?
I've heard you mention a book for reversing heart disease in some videos and I want to buy this book for a friend of mine's mother, could you please tell me if it's the How Not to Die book or another one? Anyone who know what I'm talking about please chime in as well, thanks.
@@FellVoice you are very welcome. This book changed my life! If your friend's mom is serious about changing her life she can do this. Some folks are so addicted to the SAD they can't sadly enough...
Please talk about Cardiomyopathy. Vegan for 8 years. I've had it for 12+. Recently got much worse. Prob the vaccine. Forced by my job or my kids and I would have been homeless. My body is very stressed. Always high BP.
I just love listening to you. You make everything sound so simple, and use examples that we can all understand! Wish you had an office in Fl. Where are you?
How does a plant based diet help with atherosklerosis/heart disease (LDL and HDL cholesterol).. Is it the absence of fats (or other things) from animal products or is it the presence of more fibers and plant based oils added to your meal? Fiber has a great impact on raising HDL and lowering LDL, as well as plant based oils.. Wondering because I've recently started eating way more lentils and beans and resistant starches, but still combine it with eggs and meat (no dairy and rest of diet is whole foods)..
People that smoke, all state while you have to die from something. However, they forget, that dying from smoking is a very slow process, and at the end, one gasps for breath, and there is little to nothing that can be done !
Though the content of these videos are amazing, I wish Dr Greger's behavior wasn't so theatrical. People I send these videos to keep asking why he is acting so strange. Makes it harder to normalize veganism from an advocacy standpoint. He acts like a super exaggerated sales man. If that's how he naturally acts, then I sort of feel like a jerk for saying this though.
What spoiled brats!! I guess providing life-saving information isn't good enough. The guy should have James Earl Jones' voice or else all the research is for naught.
His theatrics are jarring enough to distract me from the pertinent information he is sharing. Fortunately his self-narrated book is much more in balance between enthusiasm, cadence, and tone. I enjoyed listening to it.
Eoin, NO exercise is NOT more important than diet. Even with no exercise, changing diet produces the most improvements. There are some people who delude themselves with thinking that exercise fixes all the bad things that diet does.
My brother in law had a stroke yesterday, he may get better in 72 hours but he is currently in intensive care and he can't speak, swallow and is paralyzed completely on his left side. I wish the med industry would wake the f**k up, he just finished 3 years of chemo for glandular cancer, last chemo treatment was 3 weeks ago and last diag was that the cancer had not gotten any bigger. Not much success there and now this. I've been vegan for almost 3 years and tried gently to try and get him to change his eating habits with no luck. Don't wait for this to happen to you or your family please. Peace
yo truffles have so much dietary fiber im rly curious if 315 calories of truffle a day meat diet can reverse health downsides of the meat are there any studies on this?
Between your health, the pain and suffering of the animals and the destruction of the beautiful planet, I personally don't understand why anyone continues to eat animals and animal products. It just doesn't make sense to me. Is it ego? self entitlement? self destruction? selfishness? stupidity? And why do most doctors push the pills instead of the diet change?
Tremendous vocal variation doc. It makes the viewing experience very enjoyable. Just be mindful that squinting the eyes makes you appear less trustworthy.
Sadly most people are not intelligent enough and in control of themselves (will power) to do what is right and logical. We see this over and over again in all categories. Humans need to be taught logic while they are growing up. Parents need to start educating and protecting their children, then things will really change.
Heart attack, heart disease coronary artery disease, You can tell by the naming that the medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause.. Well there is nothing wrong with the heart not even the artery. Arteriosclerosis is a slightly better word but it s all greek to most. Just name it "fatty blood disease" or even better eating disorder: Liporexia!!! People with this condition need a psychologist for support quitting bad habits more than they need a cardiologist.
what about if cholesterol is too low? i'm plant based and recently a blood test revealed that i've got low levels. is it harmful or should i not worry?
Some of the RDA requirements are so off base and chlosterol is one of them, there normal recommendations hs people dying of heart attacks so i wouldn't worry to much. And as Hayden said your body will make the cholesterol it needs. peace
I've said it before I'll say it again, Dr. Greger deserves a Nobel Prize for creating this resource for everyone!
For world health 😇
Personally, the hardest part about being vegan is seeing loved ones suffer from preventable lifestyle-related health issues. No matter how much scientific evidence you provide that a whole foods plant-based diet can be very healthy and beneficial, a lot of them just won't listen... 😢
yes, this is really the worst thing!
Lichtblick I guess we can only lead by example and inspire them to try out vegan foods.
***** It's really sad.. A doctor even told a few of my family members that diet has nothing to do with illness because "everyone gets something"...I was so angry when he said that.
I can strongly relate. most of my close friends and family have terrible lifestyle habbits. and they just dont know or dont care that their health will most likely be shit as they get older.
And thats a very uneducated doctor! that would make me quite angry
i love his passion! He's one of the best doctor out there!
Thank you! I've been trying to get through to my mother about a plant based diet for her heart disease and I've sent this to her to watch.

Ahhh yes, seen this, heard it too. People are just...people, I guess.
I went plant based almost 6-months ago, and my body won't stop thanking me for it. I had severe tendonitis in both arms, to the extent where I had to wear braces on both arms, all day, every day.

I share this on Facebook at least once a month hoping one of the 600,000 that will dies this year from heart disease will make some positive changes.
I love how the way he speaks, what an expressive doctor :)
hate it
@@thomuk2006 So cringy
A bit of vocal fry, though his enthusiasm helps. Weird...it works for Jeff Gildblum, but not here
wow, that was amazing, i like the new style ^^
Great new intro sound, with reduced bass so as not to upset the neighbours!
I love his message, but I like how he delivers it even more. Dr Greger puts a smile on my face.
You are one smart man... I am so glad I subscribed.
Please go on the Joe Rogan podcast. Pleeeeeeeeaaaase!
*Joe is not a fan of veganism*
Dr Greger is about plant based nutrition, not about veganism
That's the point. But his argument's are stupid and Dr.Greger bases what he says on science.
Jolanda Herben
*He doesn't recomend animal products ie, veganism*
Still someone should go on who can take Mr. Rogan to school properly so he can stop spreading bad information to so many people.
Love seeing Dr. G on video now! Super cool and as always a huge blessing to my life! I've been sharing his message with all friends and family.
Fatty Streaks is my rap name
sounds quite scary actually
Herb Derb yeah my flow kills
holy fuc
Oh yeah fatty meat saved my life after I always died on vegan diet.
killer name
"Older than age....( wait for it).... 10. " He's brilliant and caring, but funny too.
Thank you for all got hard work Dr.Greger!! Now if we could only figure out the cause of cliffhangers.. ;)
Legends have it that Dr. Greger comes from the line of highlander warriors. With the bravery of the roaring sea and the wisdom of a mountain.
Lol hi Dr. Greger
Love you, Dr. Gregor!
Amazing. I just sent this link to my grandfather who has has one bypass surgery already...
An EPIC short video with nothing but TRUTH in it, thank you Dr G!

Thanks so much for another inspiring message, Dr. G. I need all the encouragement I can get. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Can I get some of that fruit in the background? Fruit is so darn expensive where I live.
I'm 27, have anxiety that makes me think I'm going to have a heart attack soon...I want to have a healthy heart as I enter my 30s. I am regretful for the past 5 years, when I was in college, I ate nothing but junk foods.
Eat well. Live healthy 🎉❤

Yes - Cayenne pepper starts a heart attach in it's tracks. Must come in contact with saliva though!
did u mean stop or did u really mean start?
Chris Cross STOPS! Thanks!
houndjog have u got a link for that info please?
Chris Cross Just google cayenne pepper stops heart attacks. It's all over the web. I keep to capsules of cayenne pepper in my wallet.
houndjog Thanks for that. Interesting. I already take 80mg of asprin daily. I will look into it further.
this doctor is a genius 😘

This is definitely a great style. So personable while providing much needed info. Bravo Dr. Greger! Just cracked open "How Not to Die" last night :D
this dude should be on prime TV every night educating the American people...great doctor and too funny as well...what a find!
Goddamn it. I was really hoping for the DHA video series continuation.

I like this style video more than just seeing slides it makes me feel like I'm having a doctor appointments with him
Started to have left chest pain...need to start eat healty

D'Agostino?
Hahaha i laughed so hard " so anyone who watches this that is over.....10!" Thank you Dr.
Really enjoyed this thank you 😀
He will be in the history book! Absolutely love him!
It's time I make a change. Thank you.
People that smoke, all state while you have to die from something. However, they forget, that dying from smoking is a very slow process, and at the end, one gasps for breath, and there is little to nothing that can be done !
Cigarette smoking is also a huge risk factor for heart disease. I'm 52 and almost died of heart attack back in May. I smoked for thirty years.
Great information .... as always!
You should do a video on Biotein and healthy hair/hair growth.

Can exercise do anything to open up the arteries?
Yes, it's even more effective than diet for most people.
more effective is wrong. have you watched some of mr. G's videos on the topic?
it does help though.
Eoin, NO exercise is NOT more important than diet. Even with no exercise, changing diet produces the most improvements. There are some people who delude themselves with thinking that exercise fixes all the bad things that diet does.
EXERCISE LIKE BRISK WALKING CREATES NITRIC OXIDE WHICH GETS RID OF PLAQUE IN THE ARTERIES
Brilliant man
please can u make vedio about gallstone
He has. Go to his website & look up "health topics" or look at his youtube play lists.
Just go vegan and you'll never be sick again and will live forever.
thanks alote if i become vegan from where can i get my calcium and protein and even i have gallstone but i still need fats
thank you so much... I will aspire to be vegan 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏

You don't need to worry. The body produces its own Cholesterol in situations where it needs it.
Some of the RDA requirements are so off base and chlosterol is one of them, there normal recommendations hs people dying of heart attacks so i wouldn't worry to much. And as Hayden said your body will make the cholesterol it needs. peace
What a Hero :)
Nine people want to get quadrouple bypass surgery.
Great info btw.
