Foods for Protecting the Body & Mind: Dr. Neal Barnard

Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series: Featuring clinical researcher, author, and health advocate Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D. Dr. Barnard is the founding president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and an adjunct associate professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He is the author of fifteen books, including best-selling titles Power Foods for the Brain, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart, and Dr. Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes.
This conversation was recorded Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colorado.
The Murdock Mind, Body, Spirit Series reflects the founding principles of the Aspen Institute - a commitment to nurturing the ‘whole’ individual - by bringing a range of experts, innovators, and leaders to Aspen to discuss their research and share the latest revelations about the link between mindfulness, physical activity, and emotional well-being. The Murdock Series will introduce new speakers and audiences to enhance the Institute’s broader mission. The series is generously underwritten by Gina and Jerry Murdock.

He is selling sugar and high carb foods

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

@@seyyedhosseini1998 He is selling healthful habits. High carb = starch = the food that was 90% of the human diet all over the world for centuries where they did NOT get obese or heart disease, etc. (unless they were "elites" like kings and had high-fat diets with lots of animal foods). I did not believe it at first either. I was so brainwashed by this society's media and education that I thought high carbs (starches) were the worst. I didn't realize my mistake until my late sixties, but just in time to save my life.

[@seyyedhosseini1998]

@@WholeBibleBelieverWoman I should correct my comment, by high carb clearly I meant procssed high carb. But things have changed since you were at my age(28) now even the bread we consume is highly procssed. If by high carb diet you mean those that you get from vegetables, there is no issue there. But he clearly doesn't talk about high carb in todays Context. So when a poor guy hear his advice. He things that Tim Tam or Mars bar is good for him because in the label it Says around 60g carb in each 100g.

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

@@seyyedhosseini1998 Anyone who listens to him long enough will be clear he is not talking about refined carbs (as in candy bars), but I think you have a good point that he really doesn't seem to expound very much about the good carbs (i.e., foods known also as starch, such as potatoes, corn and rice). Dr. John McDougall is probably the best doc to listen to regarding the starches, known more recently as carbohydrates (and often confused with sugar therefore).

@@clairesmith9551 Yes, I've been vegan since 2016.

[@vistagraphsnet]

Today, March 2, 2018, I am celebrating my first year anniversary as a vegan. One year ago I was 235 pounds with a bmi of 37 (obese). I had diabettes and high blood pressure for which I was taking drugs. On the last day in February 2017 I watched Forks over Knives, a documentary on how our food is produced and how harmful it is. The next day I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant (golden coral) and ate every vegetable or whole food I saw. During the next 60 days I lost 33 pounds, stopped all medications as my blood glucose was normal as was my blood presssure .I had stopped eating all animal products - beef, chicken, eggs, diary, fish, butter etc.etc. I did stop losing weight but saw in retrospect that I was still eating processed (packaged) foods which I cut out and lost another 22 pounds in the following two months. I had gone from 235 to 170 - a whopping 65 pounds. It had been a decade or longer since I was below 200 pounds. I am 77 years of age. As I live alone in the Oregon outback in an off-grid home I built myself I used videos like this as my support group. There are at least a dozen doctors posting videos that recommend a plant based "diet" and cutting out processed foods because they are loaded with addictive substances like salt, sugar and oils. At every meal I would go to youtube and select another of these videos as my support group. (Google plant based doctors - Neal Barnard, John, McDougall, Michael Gregor, Michael Klaper, Joel Fuhrman, Dean Ornish, Kim Williams, T. Colin Campbell, Caldwel Esselstyn, Alan Goldhammer, Doug Lisle, Matt Kedernan, Alona Pulde, Thomas Campbell, Garth Davis, Pam Popper, and so many more. Today, I have actually modified my eating habit by including a two day water only fast once every week which gives my body a chance to heal itself. What the Doctor of all doctors wrote: "Let food be thy medicine" is so true (Thanks Dr Hippocrates.) Another important message can be found at abolishchildsexabuse.com Thanks for reading.

(See The Vitamin B12 Issue by Dr. Gina Shaw; Vegan Vitamin B12 Deficiency is a Myth by Cindy Jones-Shoeman; and Vitamin B12 Deficiency-the Meat-Eaters’ Last Stand by Dr. John McDougall, M.D.) These bacteria also exist in the soil. So you can let your body produce it naturally, which is what we all do, or eat some UNWASHED, ORGANIC vegetables once in a while. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that 39% of Americans have low levels of B12. If only 1% of Americans are vegan, how can a B12 deficiency be a vegan issue? After 16 years of practicing veganism without taking a single vitamin, I had my B12 level checked on October 24, 2012. It was 543 pg/mL. The normal range is between 271-870 pg/mL. My level is perfect because the human body needs just three micrograms of B12 per day.

They laughed because they are embarrassed by their collusion!

[@Prancer1231]

Right, nothing is funny about killing animals and eating them.

[@Kala_S]

I thought I was the only one. I was genuinely confused, I had to rewind because I thought I missed something lol

[@kittycatuser]

Uncomfortable laughter.

[@akrystalocean]

He deserved a WAAY better intro!! Big Love for you Dr Neal Barnard! XX

[@hoalinae]

Your english is so clear.... i have noticed that Neal never stutters, never hang in seconds when thinking or remembering words...you look very young & yummy.. these are indications dr.neal is perfectly healthy..

I have shared this and shared this and I'll continue to do so. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Barnard. I've listened to him speak many times (thanks KZbin and those who record him). I've listened to him debate the benefits of plant-based living partnered with Gene Baur (Farm Sanctuary). Superb debate, excellent moderator. The con side was a young meat industry expert and an some organization leader who owns & operates a family organic "happy animal" farm. Gene & Neil had me standing, clapping, and giving praise alone in my living room!! :) And the moderator did not let the con side take it personal. Omnis don't like when you point out their flawed way of thinking. I know people & have family with health issues proven to be erased by a plant-based diet. Type-2, cholesterol, early-dementia, and Alzheimer's. I vow to keep Dr. Barnard in the face of those I know and love. THEY could use a boost of life in their unhealthy bodies. Thanks again for sharing this informative presentation. And with Q&A at the end!

[@kennylevy3202]

What an amazing speaker ! I wish we had more dedicated lifestyle doctors such as Dr. Barnard and Dr. Greger in France... You guys are an inspiration for the little plant-based high schooler that i currently am :) Thank you for everything that you are doing.

[@lanawebster2078]

Thank you, Dr Barnard for your research and for sharing! I appreciate you!

[@wjjmlg]

This guy looks like a young Robert Redford.

[@delaneyondreams]

Bravo, Dr. Barnard, for including laudatory references to other researchers in the field, and for including some practical suggestions to help people get more sleep. Sleep management is such a helpful adjunct to good nutrition and exercise! It boosts mood, speeds recuperation, "knits up the raveled sleeve of care." The sleep you desire is the sleep your body and mind needs. I lecture on dreams and problem solving and try never to forget to give people permission and motivation to get enough sleep.

[@zain4019]

Dr. Delaney on Dreams Thank-you for those insightful words:)

[@daniela140585]

This guy is amazing!.

[@paulagratefulnoend9683]

This is the truth. Plain and simple.

[@Robint04]

Alright, I'm going to give this a try. I'll see if I can get though no dairy. his research is pretty on point. Three days here we go.

[@megatuanis]

Taran Navy, Watch Forks Over Knives on Netflix, and/or read "The China Study" by Dr T. Colin Campbell. Once you see what milk and cheese do to the human body, it is easy to say goodbye.

[@Grassbiter]

And are you still off the dairy?

[@carolynbrown3379]

Would love to know that you're still improving! If not, recommit and welcome back!💚

[@Robint04]

@Jinja C hi whats going on?

[@johnthompson16]

What a gentle giant of a man. Entertaining & educational. Thank you & pcrm for all the good you in the world. Watching this in Brussels. Peace, love & health to all..

[@TacticalLoL]

Omg, it instantly makes sense. holy fuck. this guy is 62 and looks like he's 42

[@mixedveganprincess3118]

WreckItRalph hell no he don't! He looks even younger. I was thinking 30!

[@rawmilkmike]

Maybe maybe not, Ralph. But he has the brain of an 82 yr old.

[@giladkingsley]

@@rawmilkmike ?

[@rawmilkmike]

@@giladkingsley - The data shows a vegan diet is just as bad as the standard American diet. Vegans don't live any longer and are prone to dementia and heart disease.

[@giladkingsley]

@@rawmilkmike what data?

[@francessaelua3883]

I'm so blessed to have found your videos on my feed. Certainly, this must be my warning sign. Gotta change my eating habits. Y'all are such a blessing ❤️ thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

BRAVO!! Now is the time!!!

Great presentation!! LOVE Dr. Barnard! Thanks for posting!

[@tomharvey5466]

Can't ya tell he's just a great human being. He's uplifting

[@chulavista88]

Exercise & Vegan is the way to go.

[@toni4729]

If everyone turned vegan, what would happen to the animals? Kill them off? They're the only things that have ever kept the soil pliable and alive. Machines are killing the land and turning to dust. It will soon end up in the ocean along with all the toxins they spray with it.

[@viveviveka2651]

How does Dr. Barnard exercise? I just watched Brenda Davis's video on raw vegan diets (it's good, you'll probably learn something new, and more than once). Toward the end she shows her exercise schedule. She exercises a lot, and with a lot of variety. Healthy, vigorous, frequent exercise goes hand-in-hand with a healthy diet. Both are important. They are partners in creating a high level of health.

[@toni4729]

@@viveviveka2651 Spends a lot of time on the loo I expect. 🤣

[@JustOnePageAway]

Fantastic video! Just what I needed. I am buying his book today. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience in an easy to understand and helpful way.

[@ameeshah5506]

I started vegan lifestyle and experience quite control over my blood pressure, he is amazing

[@amandavdwalt]

I can feel the difference after just a few days. He's doing mankind (and animals) a real solid. My hero :)

[@BeFantasy]

I have a crush on him, which is weird, because I'm 22 and he's 62 :D But anyway, I love him haha :D

[@fabiolaramirez7953]

+BeFantasy Lol you're not alone. I'm 25 and I think he's hot!

[@BeFantasy]

Fabiola Ramirez Haha, good to know :D

[@evolynena]

lol

[@evolynena]

that might be because his voice sounds much younger than he looks too

[@thonking2208]

I'm in "love" with him and I'm not even gay.

That was cool I learned a lot
