I just finished a one hour brisk walk with my son, then ate a bowl of chopped baby spinach with black lentils and bulgur wheat, chopped tomato, and red onion, sprinkled with toasted sesame and sunflower seeds with a lemon and tahini dressing, while sipping hibiscus tea. Then I ate a pear for dessert. Yum!
You are one of the very few. Most people are eating junk at every meal -- bacon & eggs for breakfast, Cheeseburger fries and a giant corn syrup drink for lunch, and steak and a loaded baked potato for dinner. Then many smoke and vape, drink heavily, and take drugs too. The they go to the doctor and tell him somehow they just don;t feel well...
I’m 62 and raw vegan. I allow myself a meal like yours maybe once a month. I try to eat sprouted lentils rather than cooked. And I generally avoid most cooked starches. That is how I control my weigh and blood pressure. I take no medications and have perfect blood work. I’ve gotten my blood pressure down to a low reading of 117/70. I haven’t had a reading that low since college days. As soon as I start incorporating oil and cooked starches, I see my blood pressure and my weight increasing.
@@rozchristopherson648 I was raw vegan for 10 years in my thirties (I'm 56 now), and it was fantastic. It got rid of a cancer in situ on my cervix. At the moment I eat raw vegan every second day, and every other day I incorporate a cup of cooked lentils. I agree totally that sprouted lentils are preferable, and I also don't consume oil. Keep telling your story, it's inspiring!
Perfectly explained. I grew up eating the Standard American Diet. Went vegetarian in college. Became vegan 7 years ago. But in my 30s I returned home and became a caregiver to my elderly parents and my grandmother for the next 17 years. They all had been placed on high blood pressure medications from about age 40 for the next 40+ years of their lives. My grandmother suffered from TIAs and had to go into a nursing home. My mother had open heart surgery. My father had 6 minor strokes, one major stroke, and a massive stroke took his life. None were overweight. But they all had one thing in common. They all ate animal products at every meal. They all suffered from arteriosclerosis.
Wow; this is what I call a doctor. I had never heard about the risk of hemorrhagic stroke being higher in people who avoid eating animal foods, yet still consume significant amounts of salt. he really is the best health educator I've come across. I am interested to know whether potassium chloride has the same risk, or may even be protective.
The potassium in the KCl is good but the chloride is not. It also drives the blood towards more acidity. You might like the website of Dr. Peter Rogers
Really helpful to understand causes and differences in ischemic/embolism vs hemorrhagic food ingestion causes and relationships. I hope my Nutritarian lifestyle can at least help undo my prior 67 years of very high fat, S.A.D. way of eating/living. Strokes, heart attacks, cancer, diabetes are rampant in fraternal and maternal families. I hope my new way of living since Feb 2023 and moving forward will continue to significantly improve my level of healthful longevity. This info is priceless. I share these educational videos (and his dressing recipes!) with others, and encourage others to AT LEAST incorporate GBOMBS daily. Hopefully, that helps catapult them toward full Nutritarian. I'm so grateful to no longer need any medications I'd relied on since year 2000!! THANK YOU, DR. FUHRMAN!!
What a fantastic presentation! I want to hear the whole presentation, this is only 20 minutes and so full of important and life saving information..👌🏼👌🏼
This is great news !!!!!!!!!!!!! We can eat more pulses and legumes since elderly folks need to preserve muscle by eating ''more'' proteins which contain BCAA's. Since pulses and legumes do not render any BCAA's, and instead are high carbs and low ''quality'' amino acids then we elderly will waste away. Nice Doc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Myth... all amino acids are available in plant foods with a varied diet. I'm 72. I train strength [resistance training] 3 days a week and do cardio half an hour 5 days a week. That is how I maintain muscle mass. No diet can solve all ills. Movement and strength training are essential.
But I could not reduce my bp until I STOPPED eating nuts, seeds, and avocados and got my only fats from oats. I've been wfpb for years w no oil or salt or processed sugar and yet I had high systolic bp and wide pulse pressure that would not come down from calcified thoracic aorta. Taking all nuts and avocado out of my diet actually reduced my aortic calcification. Nuts and avocado removal were my only changes to diet....so I don't buy what he says here...oh...I did develop atrial arrhythmia problems...but WHILE eating nuts. Unfortunately that hasn't changed without nuts.
@@elephantintheroom5678 exercise stopped when I developed paralyzed vocal cords...but the hbp dev when I was running 5 days a week. Also did not have sleep apnea. I have always been very thin....never gained weight as I aged. It is true that I never ate early...I worked too late for that. I don't think that would have driven my bp up. I think it was the nuts and seeds...because cutting them out is the only thing that allowed me to cut my med in half.
it’s not much fun, when these experts constantly talk using complex words and phrases which the beginner cannot understand, and this guy does that all the time. Simplification and talk as if you’re speaking to a beginner.

Sounds yummy 😋
I've adopted his practices for years, but social life is sacrificed. It's way worth when I see my tragic same-aged peers.

@@betzib8021 I'll take a look.
This presentation is invaluable. So much information packed in 20 minutes. Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman!
I couldn’t agree more! The more I listen to him the more I respect and love his way of educating us..💜💜

@@rgonvsh69 Precisely! It is actually the muscle WORK that builds the muscle, not protein beyond requirement.

Do you eat daily greens like spinach, parsley and lettuce for the nitrate they contain?
@@elephantintheroom5678 yes...huge salad...every day for most of my life.
@@betzib8021 And do you do cardio exercise every day? And do you go to bed early, too?
