I’m dealing with a wound now (that won’t heal) because of lack of circulation. I ate a bad American diet growing up (lived on carbs!) and now paying for it. I’ve changed my diet too this past year. I’m supposedly not pre diabetic (I was close to it) but still have venous disease. I’m eating lots of veggies and fruits, don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t eat carbs, try to eat low fat but still have issues. When you get over 65 it’s hard to avoid disease. It comes on quick so take care of your health NOW before it’s too late.
P.S. no sugar either, in my diet.
If I were you, I would fast for a few days, under medical supervision, in order to put your body into full regeneration mode and make sure no bad food gets in, for a while. Before you do this, you would want to go on the keto diet in order to fat-prime your body. Obviously, not medical advice, but look into it yourself. Also, did you do a biopsy?
@@OkNowImWatching no biopsy but going to drs and they recommended wound care at a hospital nearby. My dr just made a referral and they will call me for an appointment very soon.
It’s feeling a little more hopeful.
I think your idea of a fast is a good idea. I may try it. Perhaps drink juices only. Perhaps even raw veggies. At least no meat as just today Apple News said 2 slices of ham a day can increase your diabetes, even eating chicken can. Fish is best.
Accordingly, I’ve been eating terribly till about last February when I got test results back and started to change.
Well thanks for your advice.
Is it a physical wound?
@@Yasharahla7 yes scab
So greatful for doctors that are not pushing so many meds
I am incredibly grateful for the information you report, I just wish you were a bit more sing. I apologize if others still feel this way I am pretty sure you could break it down a bit. More
He's seems very good for an allopathic MD.
I hope he learns more about healthy salt intake and BP.
He also needs to study the relative vs objective risk reductions in Statin "studies".
As chocolate evangelist I will look into his chocolate = stem cells claims, even though I'm concerned with oxalate risks associated with chocolate. My investigations into chocolate continues. 😎
They should not have used Whipped Cream in the black tea test IMHO. They should have tested Raw cow and goat's milk, especially if the whipped cream was sweetened. I need to check this out because I make my own cappuccino with cacao and cinnamon every morning. (No sugar.) 😎
Peace, Love, Health, and Freedom, to all who are fortunate enough to strive for these goals. 🙏
ct
1. Beans
2. Carrots
3. Garlic
4. Dark Chocolate
5. Black Tea (earl grey, english breakfast,etc)
I like drinking matcha and cacao together, with a .5tsp of pure monk fruit (no erythritol)
You can also make a mole with the cacao, carrots, garlic, beans and some ingredients. It's probably why there is a "blue zone" in Mexico, and their citizens live so long!
Can add ginger to the list
❤️💖🙏❤️💖
Gonna try the matcha tea and cacao together. Thanks!
Barley, mushrooms, fruits with peel, wild cut seafoods, salmon, likewise.
@@amiesmith7283 fruits with peel...means fruit skin? If so, most have pesticides..
I used to have neuropathy but I was able to get feeling back in my feet using keto, Alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-l-carnitine.
I am 78, prediabetic and just was diagnosed with borderline PAD, the reason I am listening to this video. Thank you, Dr. Lee.
😊
🎉
Thanks Dr. LI
I listen to your video, quite often. I'm overwhelmed with such fantastic information. You are a
blessing to all of us. ❤🙏❤️
Thank U 🙏
Let's not forget foot massage, soaking feet in Epson salts and acupuncture. legs are a good window to health
are they really though ?
Soak my feet in peroxide and vinegar. Vinegar loosen the dead skin on feet. Peroxide draw out the imperatives from the feet🎉
How odd I'm thinking this and YT is listening to my thoughts. Shame on you YT . Love this Dr .
You have read my mind this morning. Thank you, wonderful and unique Dr. Li! ❤ 🙏
Thank you doc for covering the necessary food for blood circulation. I’ve been worried about the swelling in my feet since diagnosed with RA and my knees are not the same either.
Will include all items you’ve mentioned in my groceries shopping. I like cooking so will definitely make barley and mushroom stew with carrots and beans in it. Will also remember NOT to eat any fry food. Thank you once again.
Thank you for taking the time... to share. All benefit!
I make a bean dish. The basic ingredients are: fresh chopped onion, fresh chopped garlic. Fry onion first, then low heat to sauté garlic in extra virgin olive oil. Add can of black beans (the only bean i Don't drain or wash), can green beans, chik peas, kidney beans, i rinse them 3 or 4 tmes in can. I get light red kidney beans and wash until no more red liquid. Small can chopped mild green chilies, 1/2 bar cream cheese (i tear it in pieces), parmesan cheese, mexican cheese from Albertsons. I also get non-gmo frozen corn by flavRpak. Then optional: 2 tbs. Hemp hearts, 3 pinches tumeric, 2 or 3 pinches cayenne pepper, dried ground leeks, fresh ground black pepper, celery seeds about 2 pinches, light sprinkle cumin, black sesame and white sesame light sprinkle, dried parsley, basil, light sprinkle poppy seeds, paprika. La Victoria red taco sauce mild. You can add or subtract from this list based on your tastes and health needs. I always have at least the tumeric and cayenne and black pepper and paprika. I usually add the hemp seeds. The rest i was trying to get as many healthy plant foods in this dish. The spices count as plants. I'm a great lover of corn even though it is not good for you. I also add a can of drained, chopped asparagus when i have it. I love it. I first made it when i was out of something to cook and just started adding things i like; beans and cheese and chilies. It kind of just grew from there to include many healthy ingredients. If you use hard cheeses like Gouda, parmesan, and cheddar even healthier. I'm not a perfectionist or anal about strictly only whole foods. I just aim for trying to add healthy items to my diet. You could add shredded carrot and chopped celery. The possibilities are endless. I counted 21 plant foods. And that makes it super easy to get the suggested 30 plants a week. The more plants, the better. It makes a big skillet that lasts me for 3 or 4 days. Maybe I'm weird, but it works for me. For stir fry, i use EVO, chopped zuchinni, chopped yellow squash, chopped garlic and onion, shredded carrot, 2 pinches tumeric, black pepper, and dried parsley and basil. Yummy! You can add guacomole and or sour cream to top if desired. Or throw it in a taco.
Are you sure this much food eating from a can is healthy? So many chemicals come with your food and some may cause Parkinson's disease or shakey hands😢
Also, pesticides are another trouble from beans to veggies but lately, if I haven't got frozen chickpeas then bought in a can very rare. Thanks for the recipe🙏⭐️💯
1) cut carbs,
2) take salt with full minerals...Himalayan, etc,
3) proper fats (think sardines, free-range-eggs, etc.),
3) Get sun, walk barefoot outside, totally dark bedroom to sleep. Bed is not for Television; sleep, sex only.
4) never eat more than twice daily...humans aren't designed to "live to eat, but rather, eat to live".
Ok...send me a $$ check...I just saved your life! LOL...I won't hold my breath.
Saturated fats ARE NOT our enemy.. this guy had made some good points...dome wrong. Period.
Are you kidding? Im one person all that would last me a month or more. I don’t even use can stuff Tks but no tks
So what is the result of this meal?
It seems like a very tasty dish,thank you for sharing.
Excellent overview with easy to apply guidelines for better circulation through food and drink. Thank you once again Dr Li!
Dr Li, thank you, circulation in my right leg with a replaced knee some 15 years ago is generally excellent except when I wake up in the morning, then it tingles and clearly has some circulation issues in the last year, I am 79, walk 1 to 2 miles a day, do some yoga in the morning, have been a vegetarian since my 20s then vegan these past 10 years, smoked in my 20s but ran marathons in my 30s distance biking (200 miles in a weekend) in my 40s with children. No prescriptions. Anything I can do for that right leg a bit of scoliosis so right knee was damaged running marathons.
When I retired, at 65, my leg hurts, weak, fell and hard now to walk, becomes authritis. Now struggling to take supplements and eat healthy, low carb, fasting for 12 hrs a day, exercise on water with my music on my ears. 3 times a day. I think I'm doing the right to cure my own self.
That’s because you actually need collagen to repair tissues and that comes from animal products.
I really appreciate these very clear life style advice to get the optimal bloodflow to the whole body - very important information given so clearly and very positively 🙏🌺♥️
Go for a walk every morning!
Don’t drink alcohol
Low sodium
No ultra processed foods
No smoking and vaping
Keep blood lipids under control
No sugar. No bad oils!!
@@pennyrapp7372no sugar is a stretch but I agree to very very low sugar is doable for most.
@@girlanonymous then not having disease is a stretch
Beware of fast foods. I found a delicious mix of baked vegtables. I asked what oil they laced it with Vegtable seed oil he answered. Transfats. Not for me.
I'm⁸@@girlanonymous
So much positive and helpful words here. It puts a smile on my face at a time when there is so much division in the world that we forget ourselves.
Peace everybody
Am so blessed watchj g your videosDr. LI. DEEPLY APPRECIAYOUR ZEALOUSNESS OF YOUR DE DICATion in sharing your gifts on how to live life devoid of ail ents by providing us knowledge and information about what foods to avoid and foods to eat.
Thank yku so much,Dr Li.
This was a exceptionally excellent video! Thank you so much for your time!
Thank you Doc,
for all this very important informations..
Great information, and the food is much better than taking meds to get the same or better results. The food is natural with no side affects.
You can have allergic side effects to ANY food.
I’m a big believer and lover of Natto. Great source of K2 that helps unclog the piping
Check out Natto King 🏋🏻♂️🏊🏋♂️🧨
Get up regularly and do a little walk about if at a desk for long periods!
Wow. Great information. So grateful for the time you take to put out a very informative video. You are a BLESSING!!!!
Thank you Dr. Li, Your information was very helpful. I have varicose veins and I use ginger every day as well as fish oil. Also use garlic and onions on a regular basis . No smoking no drinking alcohol or sodas, but apparently its not enough to keep my blood from clotting too much and caused a TIA this week. I had just bought some black tea with bergamot. I'll drink some twice a day.
Thank you Dr. Li! ❤ Your work and your videos are much appreciated!
Thank you for educating me. Stay blessed.
This is an exceptionally good video. Will follow the advice.
Dr. Li I can never find the recipe you often mention😂where would I find them🙏Love your guidance to better health❤️
I have diabetes for many years now yesterday my toe has turned blue and the top of my foot is very red but getting my self to the Dr and pray that I can get it sirted
Don't want to frighten you but it sounds like kit may need to be removed. You left it too long.
Start taking cayenne pepper (to increase metabolic rate) and some supplements that cause circulation. A good one (for the periphery areas like your toe) is bilberry and grape seed extract. There’s a host of leg circulation formula, supplements out there and one is iherb you can order from quickly/fast delivery. Massage your foot, and wake it up by walking as well to pump your blood. Point your toes over and over. That brings blood circulation to your foot. Fight it with all you got! Try different methods like sonic vibration red light devices (Iherb has a cosmetic one), hot and cold water fomotations are also helpful if there’s swelling. You want to try to get circulation and sensation. At the very least for pain and regaining circulation-a tub of rice and beans-stick your foot in it and move around to gain sensation. It sounds like you need a disability clinic which your dr could prescribe. A tens unit which would give your toes a small shock or acupuncture are possible treatments to bring back circulation. But first access the situation by making a drs. appointment.
Please consider a keto diet. And try your best to control your glucose. Good luck
@@sandramace648 Sandra this is going to be very hard but a lot of us will be praying for you to have a great outcome.Keep us informed as to what happens and just try some of the suggestions to improve your health.
I had a bad toe issue about six years ago and was scheduled for amputation. I saw a Chinese Doctor and prescribed me do flushing twice a week for six weeks. I did and I kept my leg till now. It is a Chinese approach to cleaning the colon to start healing.
This was a huge video for me.
Thank you and Shalom!!!🙏
Could you do a video on Venous Insufficiency and the foods or supplements that can help it?
It would really help out to hear your point of view on this subject, surprisingly there aren't many videos or knowledge available online on how to treat it with food and diet. I usually find some "easy fix" videos that suggest Gotu Kola or Diosmin but i feel like something is missing, and that i can't find anyone who describes the whole picture and how to organize a diet to fully heal this illness (if it's possible), or at least stop it from getting worse.
I would really really appreciate if you'd consider doing a video on this topic! (i really appreciate your videos on books so far, they have been very helpful in helping my parents get in better shape and health. Thank you!)
Please keep up on the latest research!
Whom are you addressing? The research doctor who made this video? Well, that would be insulting! It’s his job to keep up on the latest research. He doesn’t need encouragement from you.
Your video qua how to improve blood flow in legs and feet is informative and comprehensive and can help all those suffering from diabetes and otherwise.quality of voice and pronunciation if is improved will make things more understandable.
Absolutely tremendous, thank you so much.
Dr Li. Hi from a reader of your books, this was excellent! Well worth the 35 minutes. It should be pretty similar but consider doing a video on varicose veins
And yoga poses, esp inverted poses!!! Hugely beneficial to circulatory system!
Legs up the wall &/or up on couch etc
Yoga poses are hugely rejuvenating
Also purchase a foot heating pad and sleep with feet on it every night . Use only the low setting. Heat improves circulation to the feet.
Highly educational. Thank you Dr 🙏
Laying down on the floor and keep rise up on the wall for 15 minutes is very good for legs circulation.😊
Thank you, doctor Williams
LI💖🙏🏻💖
Thanks Dr Li. You’re Amazing!!
I would like to have a recipe for the hot chocolate drink made from dark chocolate. Was it made from only cacao and water without sugar? I have a female friend in her late ‘70’s and she likes drinking hot chocolate. It is sweetened chocolate. I would like to see if I can make the dark chocolate drink that you are talking about for her. She might not like it because chocolate is bitter but it is worth a try. She says that she gets the other benefit from chocolate that gives one the feeling of happiness. That is great as long as it doesn’t give inches to the waistline.
Cocoringa Moringa hot chocolate is deliciously healthy. My kids cannot tell the difference. It is a little pricey.
Beans, carrots, dark chocolate, dark teas are high in oxylates. Not all of us can handle the lectins, phytates in beans. A grain free diet has helped my autoimmune disease.
doesn't cooking them eliminate the harm from oxalates...
A wonderful fresh presentations of how I can improve my health.
Thank you Dr Li
what about all the pestisides on outer peels, specially if fighting cancer cause many can not afford just organic on everything! I have to peel... yea, i can not eat the peels because of cost and because I have to put most on the most i,portant foods i eat most of which are all the carrots I have to juice. sure i'm getting it in though... thanks for barely info and good ideas for recipes! i missed that one all this time. will definately start on recipies for that one.
Indeed amazing information.
Thank you for the great information!🎉
So now the trick is to create a recipe with most of these foods together in it.
We beed fat, not seed oil. Grassfed butter, coconut oil.
Thank you, Dr. Li. Cheers to a healthy productive life ❤
Listening to different experts on diet is getting extremely confusing. One expert will say add fat to your diet (that the saturated fat scare is a lie )…Another expert will say reduce the amount of fat. One states sea salt is very beneficial and another says reduce the salt) and they all have studies that back up what they say. I don’t know what to do or who to listen to. Is it just a bunch of experts on RUclips just wanting us to like and follow.
One thing they all have in common: more views, more subscriptions. Works for them and whatever product or service they peddle. On a more positive note, all these videos are good for folks who use the information as a "starting" point. From there, one has to do their own additional research. I don't like my doctor but that doesn't mean I trust Dr. RUclips more. I gather information from various sources then use AI to assist me in arriving at a protocol that is right for me, not the whole world.
@@MyHomelessTravels yes…very well said.
Just what I needed . Thanks for the video.
Dr. William Li.
Thank you Dr 🙏👍👍👍🍒
nattokinase?
I enjoyed and learned from the information presented.
Thank you very much Dr william
So what about all the soy sauce and salty bean paste which Chinese people eat? Yet they look really healthy....
Thank you for this excellent advice. Appreciate it
Thank you Dr William Li
Very valuable information. Thank you Dr. William! 🥰💯👐👏👍
Thank you Dr Lee for your health talks.♥️♥️
Does anyone notice that Dr. Li doesn’t make mention of corn in his food recommendations?
probably because corn is a high carb starch?
Glyphosate also. Farmers spray all over it.
Thanks for your time Dr.❤
Thank you❤️
I'm surprised he recommended cacao since it has a lot of heavy metals, which he talks about in other videos.
Cut out the table salt ? Or the pink Himalayan mineral type salt ?
Thank you Dr Willem Li 🙏🏽
I really liked this video. I respect knowledge. I will try adding some of these foods to my diet. Con...saying "Guess what?" is annoying.
What about pins and needles feelings in the toes after prolonged fasting? What should be done? I'm Not drinking alcohol or smoking and no processed foods, sugars or oils, only thing I can think of is I'm taking himalayan salt everyday, about 1 tsp a day. Maybe I added salt back in too fast into my refeed? I've only been drinking greens drink and eating basic soups. Need help haha
❤
Electrolytes!
Please discuss Eye Floaters. Thank you
Thanks for great accessible information. I'm wondering if circulation and blood flow have any connection to leg cramps? I'm 70, have suffered occasional foot or lower calf cramp for years but during the past couple, the cramps have increased and extended to my inner or back thigh muscles and can last up to 10mins at times. Despite monitoring my lifestyle and diet I'm at a loss to know what causes the cramps or how to avoid them. It would be great if you could shed some light on this topic. Thanks
When the blood is going down , gravity helps the heart ; it’s pumping the blood back up against gravity that is hard work
Thank you Dr. I would have thougjt that, cutting out sugar, keeping blood sugar and insulin low would have been mentioned.
The only thing these doctors seem to agree on is intermittent fasting. They are very confusing, everything in moderation.
Cocaine in moderation 😃😃😃🤪
Yep, they all want to be the one.
Talking about the subject one lose focus not like going direct in the topic as points . Thanks for sharing what you wrote in your two books which I read.
Thank you for doing this video! It is very informative. I have two questions. 1. There were news reports earlier this year that a great many sources and products with dark chocolates have high levels of lead and cadmium levels in them. Do you have a list of which sources or manufacturers sell “safe” dark chocolate products? 2. Most of the dried fruit I have seen in stores are preserved with high levels of sulfites and consuming products with sulfites bother me. Are there non-preserved or “safe” sources of dried fruit on Amazon or at a store like Whole Foods? Thanks again! Mary
What about Redmond Real Salt? Used it for 10 years liberally! My doctor told me!
Dr Li, if we have small bowel obstruction and are on a long-term low fiber diet, can we still get the nutrients from taking the strained juice of fruits and vegetables? Thank you.
Yes, it’s better to do that than not have fruits and veggies at all.
Thank you Doc,This is very helpful information.May God bless you
Try yoga, inverted posturer for circulation, and eye health.
Can you wash out pesticides from fruit skins with Bicarbonate of Soda? I was under impression that you could and have done this for years because ofnthat
I what about a pinch of redmonds salt?
Great info - Plz more on the life style changes.
And mushrooms as you said and tomatoes you said
How much beans, carrots and day? Besides cooking Dr Li besides using garlic in cooking, do you recommend swallowing pieces of fresh garlic?
Thank you Dr Li for sharing your expertise. Greatly appreciate 🙏🏻
Thank you for that information the best advice
Thank you so much knowlage is power
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Some of these recommended foods are high in oxalates, which are presenting as a new health concern.
I wonder if semi-skimmed dairy milk might be acceptable with my black tea? Being English I wouldn't ever put cream in tea (bleurrgh) 😆 but I don't like it without a splash of milk. I'm ok with a slice of lemon in it, but then I would have to put in half a teaspoon of sugar to take away the bitter taste. Don't need the sugar when I use milk! This is why it's never simple to have a healthy diet🤨 I can go with most of the other things, especially the dark hot choc. Thank you for this.😊
@@Ruth-wn3mx just bite the bullet and drink black tea with no sugar and no milk. In a few days you’ll be used to it and your body will thank you later. I cut out milk and sugar in my tea more than 25 years ago and, after a surprisingly short time, never missed it.
This doctor did not mention insulin resistance as major reason of heart problems, did not mention how carbohydrates are main cause of heart problems. He is behind the most newest data on development of heart problems and treatment
He is avoiding the most important stuff. He is blaming salt. he is not well informed. He promotes statin. His facial expression shows that he has a brain fog.
Do not eat a lot of REFINED carbohydrates. If you eat low fat vegetarian food you will loose weight and insulin resistance will go down. Don’t forget the benefits of fasting and exercise.
I have watched a couple of your vids; where are the contemporary published medical studies you continue to state you referenced. No references on your website either?
Thanks for your info
Thanks Dr William Li, it is a big help to me.. I fry salmon I am going to stop to fry. I use olive oil but anyway it is bad.
Thank You
Can you talk about neuropathy
