How to Regenerate Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Naturally

[@fannys941]

Ended my prediabetic condition by eating lots of greens, and a vegan diet.

[@robertmckeown5315]

Wow! Mom was right! Eat your greens and go play outside. Too bad most adults are inside most of the rest of their life.

[@isabellaceleste5756]

Thank you so much for all your hard work! Your research has really helped me. :)

[@KathleenJean53]

I respect all the actual scientific studies the good doctor sights in each of his topics and he makes it interesting and painless.

[@ChrisKerel]

holy shit the hippies were right all along!

[@turbonbc]

+Chris Called No, it called common sense. Understanding the wisdom behind nature. Free yourselves from cultural conditioning.

[@HopyHop1]

+Chris The same hippies that ate millions of hot dogs at Woodstock?

[@elainekain]

+Clyde Rembrandt Until you know better, you don't know better?

[@HopyHop1]

Elaine Kain What are you saying?

[@elainekain]

Clyde Rembrandt On hotdogs at Woodstock, that generation only knew what they'd been taught; I was a youngster back then. "We need to eat meat for protein" and all meat was basically equal (except human) in cultural teachings. "I fed my own kids hotdogs" - now I am mostly vegan and eat no meat. I had to research food sources and information before I chose this path... and I grew up on beef farm. 'Hippies' is a broad definition; my school, if a boy had hair that touched his shirt collar, he was kicked out until he got it cut. Girls were not allowed to wear pants to school until I was in high school and the kids challenged the dress code (dresses had to touch the chair when kneeling on it, or the teach would tear the hem out; if it was still too short, the girl was sent home). Possibly the over-control in society helped produce a more extreme 'no control' generational response. But that's gotten away from hotdogs, sorry!

Completely fascinating-- one of the best of Dr. Greger's videos. Of the 2000+ short videos available on his website, all are based on latest medical/nutritional research, and all are free. (Donations encouraged, but not required.)

[@djayjp]

He should monetize his videos on KZbin.

[@tayloranderson456]

This one seemed particularly fascinating. Aren't those light helmets people wear to regrow hair red light? Wonder if there is a connection. Also makes me wonder what happens if you fill up on kale and then go lay in the sun for a bit? Is all that chlorophyll going to start making oxygen in your belly?

[@MstrCatChowming]

why do people not get it already! just eat plants and he active!

[@donotlookatmyname2008]

Because they will say "you only live once" and then when they're in the hospital dying, they take drugs rather than change their diets.

[@Jefferdaughter]

And eat animals that eat green plants - not factory farmed animals raised indoors (like nearly all commercial chickens and pork, and many turkeys) - and fed a diet of mostly GMO corn and soy. Even most industrial dairy cattle are fed such an artificial diet heavy in grains and soy which they were not really designed to eat. And while most American beef is born and raised on pasture, it is 'finished' on grains and soy in feedlots. This disconnection from their natural relationship with the land - their grazing, saliva, hoof action, manure and urine all feeds and stimulated plants and the soil food web - results in nutrient deficient land, animals, and humans. If someone does not want to eat animals, that's their choice, of course, but my ancestors have been eating meat since they were human... and dairy almost as long - all raised outdoors, in the sunshine, eating PLANTS. (Well, the chickens and hogs were eating meat, too...)

[@wndrwmn72a44]

Why don't vegans get it already! Just stop shoving your so called lifestyle down people's throat! Everything in moderation. Plain and simple. Besides, if people want to die at 50 from a heart attack and live an unhealthy lifestyle then that's their choice! If people want to be informed and try to live healthy that is also their choice. Isn't that what you liberals preach? Just eat your plants and be quiet!

[@quandmeme9970]

@WndrWmn72 Their choice in private medical system. In Europe we pay for all dumb people collectivelly...

Ok, i don't like raw kale but i'm sowing extra so i can eat the young, tender stuff. That's mildly palatable at least. Thank goodness the frosts are gone. My balcony is full of young greens again, in case i can't make it to my vegetable allotment. I call it my grazing meadow, lol. Spinach, cilantro, mizuna, that spicey stuff they put in lettuce mix, forgot, all the usual kitchen herbs and pak choi. (lettuce is a waste of space, there isn't much in it) in case you wanted to know what's easy and quick to grow on a balcony. Do yourselves a favour. Search the word 'allotment' and find all of us growing veggies with a no frills, high yield approach. 6 euros a pound? how about .... grow your own!

Ask the Doctor submission: Thanks to Dr. Greger's books, I am beginning to break my sugar addiction! However, several times a year I do baking. Date sugar is not always available to me. How do you feel about conventional refined white sugar vs. organic unrefined white sugar? Is there a push to go with a sugar that is not refined? Also, what are your general thoughts on coconut palm sugar? I've been hearing that this is a healthy, natural sweetener. This product is expensive though. Thank you for considering my question.

[@lauriegamble6060]

Thank you for this video Dr. Greger. I have abnormally high Lpa lipid but not terrible cholesterol (hovering around 200), I am of normal weight, and blood pressure of 115/58. I am a vegan and exercise 5-6 x's per week. My doctor has me on a statin after finding a 90% blockage in my LAD. Is there anything else I can do to lower this?

[@Patriot556]

+Laurie Gamble I'm not sure if your familiar with Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn? They have each clinically proven successful stoppage and in some cases reversal of heart disease through a plant based low fat/no oil diet. I believe some patients still required the use of statins but in much lower doses. How long have you been vegan and has it been low fat (~10%) and no or nearly no oil? Not challenging, and apologies if your already familiar with all this :)

[@lauriegamble6060]

+Rolling Vegan thanks! I am aware of this. I am recently vegan (last two months) and try to be careful with fat. My cardiologist is "giving me two months" before wanting to put me on another med. Ugh. On the statin my total cholesterol is now 171 and although my Lpa has gone down, still not where he wants it to be. I'm pretty confident that my diet is going to show really good results :o)

Avoid tropical oils (palm and coconut) like the plague.

[@carmelacristoforo262]

Dr. Gregor you amaze me!!!

[@willfullyinformed]

Great study! This may sound a bit out there for some but definitely interesting to ponder... I remember Dolores Cannon mentioned years ago that eventually our society would have a shift in consciousness and literally transition into a higher state of vibration or "dimension" and begin to eat more light-based foods (plants) because it is naturally lighter on our bodies thus eases the transitioning (meat is a 3rd dimension energy source and very heavy), and that our ultimate end-goal of evolution would be to become a purely light-based species that ingests the suns energy as our main source of nutrient as it is part of our design... another interesting thought is that this could be through light-based technologies that easily allow for this and/or physical evolution.

so, kind of related to this topic, I inherited a bottle of Ubiquinol COQH-CF by "Now Foods" (a very common supplement manufacturer). I eat WFPB, but not quite enough leafy greens some weeks. Is there a downside to taking these 50mg softgels? They have a "Best Buy" of 6/24. I really can't give them away to anyone who would want them -- is taking them better than throwing them out?

[@MalMilligan]

Interesting as always. What I want to know, after doing a Vegan diet for 6 weeks is, how much and how often should I eat kale? And beets. And eggplant? There are dozens of plants that seems to have great benefits but I can't eat them all every day. I wonder if anyone ever figured out an optimal rotation for juicing or whatever to hedge their bets and cover as many bases as possible.

[@overlogg]

+Mal Milligan every 2-4 days in rotation and different recipes seems easy enough to do.. It is not something I ever worry about frankly... Just eat a ton of greens and your already 3/4 of the way there.

[@bashisobsolete.pythonismyn6321]

+Mal Milligan indirectly, kale obstructs iodine absorption into the thyroid. it's only slight but worth knowing in case you're prone to thyroid problems. if you eat it frequently (every other day), you may choose to shred it and boil for 5 min, discarding the water. loss of vitamins is not serious and removal of the iodine blocker is significant.

[@tamcon72]

+Mal Milligan I think Doc Greger actually has a list of things one should eat every day, several times a week, etc. in his newest book.

[@Jefferdaughter]

There are a lot of problems with industrial food animal production and processing. One of them includes the fact that animas raised in confinement have a lot more fecal matter on them than animals raised naturally on pasture. Another issue it the well-meant regulations regarding access to food and water right up until the time of slaughter. Full digestive systems are more likely to be punctured during processing than animals that were traditionally fasted briefly before going to meet their maker. Also gotta ask, what is this word 'poo'? Just a few decades back, no one seemed to use that word after kindergarten. It was basically 'baby talk', a nursery word. Now everyone seems to use it for feces, dung, manure, even droppings and guano. Even shit sound more... grown up.

Dr Gregor, could you please do a video on tanning beds. For those people who do not have very much exposure to sunlight certain times of the year, is this a good option. Also will it do the same things to us that natural sunlight does (ie: CoQ10 effect).

[@djayjp]

No, they are horrible. You want visible light, not UV. UV breaks down collagen in your skin and causes DNA damage.

[@georgehornsby2075]

Question is does it work as well if you're wearing sun cream?

[@petecabrina]

Forget the sunscreen mate, unless you are in the southern hemisphere and the UV is off the charts, remember though that even that only peaks at a certain type of day, certain time of year. If you have good nutrition and lifestyle you should not worry about it at all, the benefits so outweigh the risks it is ridiculous, and it is something to be enjoyed, not hiding from.

[@TruckerJoe]

What else can I do??? I strictly eat out of Dr Esselstyn book prevent and reverse cardiovascular disease and I still have to take 40 mg of Lipitor. I have a rare liver that produces tremendous amount of cholesterol. Any thoughts?
