Love Dr. Neal! I wish he could come give a presentation on nutrition to my nursing school! I think this would be so helpful for nurses and doctors to hear and incorporate into patient care. It's time to do away with that old-fashioned way of thinking and move forward!

I am using coconut oil for the past 50 yrs.but O never have a problem of my brain,I am now 79 yrs old but no problem of my brain,in fact I have a friend of 40yr.old have already memory gap and parkingson's disease but recovered in just 3 months using Virgen Coconut oil. Another have Alzhimers disease was also cured with Virgen coconut oil.That is actual it works.

Thank you for your great health information

[@MPM6785ChitChat]

Dr Barnard's recommendations, advice and explanations are excellent - there is a lot of dubious, ill conceived and wrong advice with regards to health / nutritional and dietary information etc being touted, promoted by others... My father had me when nearly 50 , spoke 3 languages , kept mentally and physically active and ate and drank everything in moderation of good quality. At 77 he left to work with my older Stepsister in an Orphanage in Burma ( Mayanmar) for 4yrs. He passed away peacefully at 93 yrs old. Nothing but respect for this Doctor and regards to the Host of the Exam Room.

Yes inorder to meet your DRA of protein you will have to

Am so confused with both my disease but now I understand thank you.

[@arambarsamian6312]

@@Debra_Hasatheory one doesn’t need that much protein. Most Americans are getting twice what they need! The only reason one would not get enough protein on a plant-exclusive diet is if one ate a substantial number of calories from oils (which are pure fat and devoid of protein) or fruits (which have protein, but a smaller percentage of their calories is from protein). If one eats a balanced diet, with a variety of veggies, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, as one is supposed to, one will get the optimal amount of protein and a good balance of essential amino acids.

I eat my cruciferous mostly raw now because I am always growing my own and they taste amazing fresh. Glad to know that raw cruciferous isn't harmful.

[@lynlawley8903]

That helps to know

[@mariaespiritu9512]

Me too. I eat cauliflower and kale and broccoli daily, in a huge salad. You damage the cruciferous when cooked because you damage the enzymes that create sulforaphane in broccoli and similar sulfur compounds in the other cruciferous veggies. Sulforaphane is great for brain health and inflammation.

[@theresesouthworth227]

Broccoli is irritating to the stomach. Who knew?

[@dangcoppock7362]

So true…! When I was growing up we had a big garden ( way back when in my country ) we always eating fresh, raw veggies most of the time not to mention we could get the veggies fr, the ( big ) tree in the wood ( Forrest) everything are ( were) organic.

SO GLAD Dr. Barnard discussed the GOOD foods first....in so many videos. this is kept until last.....nice job, gentlemen! HUGS to both of you! ...AND...what about coconut flesh??? still bad?

[@arambarsamian6312]

While coconut oil is harmful, Coconut flesh appears to be neutral. Not healthy, but neutral. I buy coconut butter, then pour out the oil that’s collected on top (and use it as a moisturizer). This way it is reduced in fat and what remains is concentrated coconut pulp, which is more flavorful.

Have been listening to diet regimes for at least 40 years and the number of various diets was about 15 so not one worked long term because we would all be using it now. . I tried exercise and eating more veg but three weeks and I lost only 1kg. So I went back to how we must have lived as cavemen. Grubbing around for food growing in the ground, picking berries , nuts off the bush when in season and them things hanging in the trees. The odd steak when the men managed to kill a bison. We didn’t drink milk, just plain old fashioned water. Oil, well that definitely came later. But we were busy up and down all day too. And here we are hearing just what is being recommended by Dr Barnard. So I have followed his advice and 1kg in one week. Just brilliant. Thank you, I feel really really healthy. Best advice by far.

[@solo-up8db]

Please go on a keto diet. So long as you keep your carbs low fat is healthy. Your growth hormones naturally burns excessive fat. However this hormones can’t burn fat while you have spiking levels of insulin. To keep your blood insulin low reduce your carb intake. That’s why the whole idea of being a vegan is a recipe for disaster! For more info check out dr Eric Berg

@Life with Suzzy. Alternative to FORGETFULNESS. What you can do is carry a small piece of paper and a pen in your pocket every- day. When you need something to do, or to get, reach for the paper and pen from your pocket and write down what you need to buy, or bring right away.. It's just simple. Also, have a PEN and a small NOTEBOOK and make sure you put it on the table, or somewhere in the house where you can see it right away when you walk around the house or .....have a small table where you can put a notebook and 2 or 3 pens and write down anything that you will need to look for or need to buy later. Don't forget to write the date everytime you're Writing a reminder to yourself. It will save you time and frustrations.
