@Gold Gold What he is saying in this video doesn't mesh as well with the printed studies being shone. I don't mean in substance, but in word choice, which is disconcerting when you're trying to keep up with his rapid delivery and scan the reference sections provided on screen. I prefer reading the transcripts! At least I can go to them to get clear on the content. (Transcripts available on nutritionfacts.org, for those not familiar.)

Dr. Greger I am an 81 year old male, the number one item on my bucket list is to get healthy before I die. Last January I was taking 13 different meds in the morning and about 6 meds at night 365 days a year.I don't take any now. My maximum weight was 333 lbs. I now weight about 220 lbs.I still have about 60 lbs of fat to loose. I consider losing the weight less important than getting rid of the meds. A few years ago I went to a lecture on the China study at Loma Linda University which started me on my journey to get seriously healthy. I had tried all kinds of programs, pills, products, and potions but it wasn't until last January that I discovered a way traverse chronic health issues. I adopted a Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle. Eliminating all dairy, meat, salt sugar and oil 99% of the time. I haven't got to 100% yet but I've come a long way from the China Study lecture. Here is my problem, I can't get enough sleep. I have to pee about six times a night. Can you help me and others who may have the same problem?

[@australorpa]

Congratulations on your achievements so far! You will have a better chance of response if you post this in the comments section of this video on nutritionfacts.org. Dr. Greger rarely responds directly (where would he find the time?!), but there are qualified people (doctors, other medical professionals, well-versed lay persons) who may make suggestions. There's too much uninformed comment on youtube. On the website you could also search for videos and blogs on 'sleep', 'frequent urination' and such. I'm with you on waking to go to bathroom several times a night! Best wishes!

I congratulate you on starting this switch and would love for you to share your improvements with the world ie start a blog get on Instagram and chronicle your journey. Making changes like this in your age bracket is an inspiration for others. I’m not a doctor but I have read a lot and made healthier living my hobby. If I may lovingly suggest being patient with your body it has a lot to undo from many years of ingesting harsh foods and still being bombarded with toxins daily. I also want to emphasize eating is a stressor on the system, our bodies utilize 50% or more for digestion, so putting a break in there of a day or two of only ingesting liquids is the break that could help the system utilize all its energy to expel unwanted things from the body. A form of detoxing. One great tool to help is juicing, pure celery juice is one in particular that helps the body reduce inflammatory invaders in the body. Aloha

[@iouhc19]

​@@giselafiege7169 Thanks for your kind words, I'll take you up on your celery juice suggestion but not the blog, if Printikin, Ornish, Campbell, Greger and McDougall and hundred others are having a difficult time getting their scientific backed facts across my story would be just more preaching to the choir. What will cause a difference, is to get rid of our current social/economic system which worked in the past but is not only outdated but is the cause of the worlds major problems and is unsustainable. We live in a finite world with finite resources and we cannot afford to continue to do what is not working and expect positive results. I would like to see Dr. Greger make sure some of his charitable donations go to these two organizations, The Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project. I believe if the whole food, plant based community and these two organizations hook up, it would be the tipping point for the dramatic change in making the world a better place for all of us, don't you agree?

For those of you thinking he recommended a certain amount a day on this particular video, he didn't. It's in his Daily Dozen which is only 1 tablespoon. That said if you ever are not sure what the doc has said on any of his videos, if you go to the web page featuring the video you just watched, you can access the transcript under the video. In this case you can access the transcript here: nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-flax-seeds-for-inflammation/ Here's a link to the full topic of high blood pressure: nutritionfacts.org/topics/high-blood-pressure/ In addition, you can also find his sources with links to the original research articles. My thoughts, however, is you don't rely upon a singular means to lower blood pressure or lower cholesterol or whatever ails you, it's the totality of all that you do. All your foods, inclusion of exercise, proper sleep, hydration, and attention to your mental health be that through meditation, spiritual connections, and/or social interactions. Healthy people have an overall healthy life and that goes beyond just what you put in your mouth.

@@deathstar168 -- His recommendation is 1 tablespoon, down from 2. It's in the Daily Dozen. I forget why he lowered it to 1 tablespoon but there are other foods that lower bp too. Again, it's totality, not just one ore two things that you eat or do that make for the best health.

You don't really want that much flaxseed, unless you wish to stray into cyanide poisoning territory. Dr. Greger's recommendation is for 1 tablespoon daily.
