"Anytime anyone tries to sell you on some new diet, ask just one simple question: “Has it been proven to reverse heart disease?” (You know, the most likely cause of death for you and everyone you love?) If it hasn’t, why would you even consider it? If that’s all a whole-food, plant-based diet could do-reverse our NUMBER ONE KILLER-then shouldn’t that be the DEFAULT diet until proven otherwise?" - Dr. Greger

[@MultiYlang]

Hi doc . Can you also feature which is healthier, plant based omega 3 or fish oil based omega 3?. Thanks.

[@jeremygolez1866]

Exactly!!! By the way, if you look closely behind Dr. Dex he has Dr. Greger's book "HOW NOT to DIET!"

Being vegan or having a plant based diet is not only healthier, but also ethical and good for our environment. I'm almost 1 year vegan now. I've done all the tests and the general check up after 6 months of being vegan and it works! my blood chemistry is really good. I'm really happy that I've changed my lifestyle.

currently doing keto diet(from 63kgs to 55 - 3months only), effective po siya Doc pero after hearing you...natakot ako bigla kasi i am more on high fats talaga. chicharon, bbq at taba ng pork. grabe i regained my senses after hearing your vlog. sa keto, strawberry and avocado lang then pili lang ang veggies, halos lahat prito. So, starting tomorrow, I'll change my food preferences na, maybe a mix of a calorie deficit and plant base. Alagaan natin ang HEART natin.. Thank you so much Doc, you're a lifesaver.

Finally, a filipino dietician/physician who talks about plant based diet!!! 🙌 I had type 2 diabetes, plant based diet lang nakapag reverse. My then doctor said, ( 2 yrs ago) I would be taking meds forever! Glad I ran into plant based diet and its effects on the body early this year (January 2022). In 3 months no more meds and all my markers are normal, actually better than ever. I have so much energy kaya I started working out on my 4th month. Lost 40 lbs in 6 months. Best decision I ever made. ❤️

Sedentary, yep, ⬇️ lifestyle. Additives-loaded Junk,yep., ⬇️ lifestryle.. I corrected my midsection/visceral fat by keto but now learned how to route my will for controlled portion, and large meal intervals, so I am increasing my carbs, but maintain my mainly veggies and plant proteins, tweak down on my plantsourced-fat intake.. I do eat eggs but I learned to eat it mostly with yolk half-cooked to retain some of its lecithin. My only problem now is how to normalize my circadian rhythm (Missed sticking to a regular sleeping schedule most of the time).

Almost five years vegan/100% plant-based. Ive been on restrictive diet to prevent prediabetes and gall bladder removed but since going down the greener and more compassionate path, my blood sugar has since been consistently normal, and the best part is that I enjoy more variety of foods despite not eating any animal products. Nagstart din yung awakening ko sa lifestyle na to kay Dr. Greger, and I super appreciate him. Hope to meet him someday. Baka na meet mo na sya, doc? I believe nakapunta na sya dito. 🙂 Ok din yung talk and book nya on pandemic. Please do a video on that as well para maliwanagan ang mga Pinoy on the other causes of pandemics that are not usually known. As Filipinos we really should shift to eating more sustainably and ethically to help our farmers as well. Nakakatulong tayo ng mabuti if tangkilikin natin ang maliliit na magsasaka at mangingisda na lagi dehado sa food system natin. 🙂 Thank you so much for this video I have always referred people who want to be more educated on nutrition to your channel kasi very approachable and easy to digest ang information ninyo. Malaking tulong kasi ang dami tao nalilihis sa maling impormasyon. Salamat.

[@roberttucay9950]

Hi Doc, Regarding plant diet, ano po ang reaction nyo dito. There are several compounds in the foods we eat classified as anti-nutrients. Examples include: Glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage)-can prevent the absorption of iodine, which may then interfere with thyroid function and cause goiter. Those already with an iodine deficiency or a condition called hypothyroidism are most susceptible. Lectins in legumes (beans, peanuts, soybeans), whole grains-can interfere with the absorption of calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. Oxalates in green leafy vegetables, tea-can bind to calcium and prevent it from being absorbed. Phytates (phytic acid) in whole grains, seeds, legumes, some nuts-can decrease the absorption of iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. [2,3] Saponins in legumes, whole grains-can interfere with normal nutrient absorption. Tannins in tea, coffee, legumes-can decrease iron absorption.

You are the best!
