This is such a facepalm moment! He is correct in his diagnosis - hospital food is garbage. But his health advice is terrible - all of the foods he he listed are *_INFLAMMATORY._* Those fruits and vegetables all contain sugar, fiber, and other anti-nutrients that directly cause inflammation. For example, the blueberries have sugar, fiber, tannins, oxalates, and phytates - all of these chemical either cause inflammation directly or reduce the ability for the body to absorb critical nutrients like Zinc and Iron. The antioxidants in blueberries are totally offset by the antinutrients found in blueberries. It would literally be better to fast (not eat) than to eat blue berries. And I can go down his entire list of suggestions. It's all the same. *_Stop._* *_Eating_* *_Plants._* ⚠️Dr. Dahn - you've been tr•cked into believing plants are healthy for humans. ⚠️ Please, please, please, please consider what I am saying - it's *_propaganda._* You have been programmed to believe plants are good for human health. It's one of the biggest medical cons in human history. If you thought the propaganda and"science" behind the C•VID "vaccines" was bad, wait until you find out where the "plants are safe and effective" ideas came from...

I became a Registered Dietitian in 1982, and was excited to work in a hospital and help patients eat healthier. What I soon learned was that the Food & Nutrition Dept. is the least important dept in the hospital, and the last to get budget funding. I met lots of discouraged workers and talented people who want to serve fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc. but were told the budget doesn't allow for it. I tried very hard to get rid of the sugar-laden 'protein drinks' like Ensure, but Abbott sold to hospitals very cheap (less than 20 cents per bottle) hoping that discharged patients will continue to drink it at home and pay more than $2 per bottle. I quit the profession for a decade and did other things. Came back as a consultant years later and nothing had changed. A director even told me that patients wanted burgers and fries, so why bother trying to improve the menu. A couple of California hospitals I consulted in were in the process of making positive changes, but then some places in the South were horrendously behind the times. They just wanted to serve 'comfort food'. The Standard American Diet is SAD.

My experience from staying in the hospital 3 years ago for 2 weeks due to extended immobility in my vehicle. After being admitted to the ER, a nurse yelled at the waiting room it was "too crowded and to leave if not urgent". I felt guilty and even more uncomfortable, so I then left, but returned in a couple of days. I had one huge calf & clots filling both lungs. They were traveling thru the heart valve as ER Dr was testing. I asked him for a nerve relaxant after that news, stunned. I was given a room upstairs. The staff was quite upset with me that I was not eating. So I had to tell them (it was awful food mimicking product) I would basically end up vomiting or experiencing diarrhea soon after attempting to eat any of this "food" and I was already exhausted. They decided I had a stomach bug. So a team covered & sealed in suits from head to toe came to check the stomach for??? The tests showed no sickness. Luckily I was overweight at that time, because I lost 20 lbs while there tossing, turning and sweating profusely the whole time. There was a heat wave of 115 and no working AC in my room. Then the Dr walked in one morning & said my heart had now repaired itself. I have since lost 30 more lbs. and now eat once daily. It's just less digestive discomfort and stress. I'm now left with a permanent encapsuled clot attached high up in the thigh to the wall of my femoral vein and PTS. I was told I must now take the anticoagulant for "the remainder of my days". Apologies, there's more but it's too long, thanks for reading, I'm going through this solo, that's the worst part.

Sorry you had so many issues, but one meal a day doe give your body a chance to heal itself. Doing keto, carnivore or ketovore helps a lot with inflammation and improves healing. Best of wishes on your continued success! @drsuneeldhand This brings up something that I pondered many years ago. If you take an anticoagulant, the instructions tell you to not eat dark leafy greens since they thin blood naturally. I believe apple cider vinegar does too. If he found a doctor willing to let him try diet intervention and monitor his blood regularly to ensure it's okay, wouldn't it be possible to get off of blood thinners... with doctor's oversite of course. Blood thinners have so many side effects and are harmful to some people. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I landed on a piece of slate and I had a clean break... saving my then 19 year old hip replacement. I was strapped back together and went to rehab. Knowing that I couldn't put weight on that leg for a long while, I requested keto for the menu. The regional hospital did horrible, but I just wouldn't eat what wasn't good. Rehab did better, but sometimes at breakfast I would get fruit, pudding or jello, bread, pancake or some other sweet. After a while I would simply get a double meat and a vegetable or egg like I requested. I would drink black coffee or unsweetened tea... but mostly water. If you are like I was then and don't have anyone to help out, be kind but firm in your request. I even requested someone from food services come to talk to me. That really helped!

In Sweden where I live there is one very big issue with hospital food that I personally have experienced. And that is inability to provide food that is naturally free from gluten and milk. They have gluten and lactose free food. But wheat starch for example is not naturally gluten free so I cannot have that and lactose free milk products still contain milk protein. So I cannot have that either. I remember one time in particular, I was admitted to Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg because of chronically low potassium levels. Before that I had done soo many tests and seen soo many doctors but they could not figure out the cause. So I was remitted to Sahlgrenska where I was supposed to stay for a whole week to really dig into it and find the cause. But... They had no naturally gluten and milkfree food. So the first day I was there I was admitted in the evening the only thing they could serve me for dinner was raw tomatoes and cucumber. They chopped it up and called it a salad. To have breakfast for the next day I sent a relative to buy bread that is suitable for my dietary needs. But the next day doctors said that they had gone through my journals, that previously was not enough for a diagnosis, and said that through trial and error basically they could blame my late celiac diagnosis for my low potassium. They said that because I went with undiagnosed celiac until it almost killed me when I was 23 years old I have permanent damage to my intestines that makes uptake of potassium difficult. And then they sent me home without doing a single examination or test on their own. Not a thing, because they did not want me there for a whole week as planned because of the food. And to add insult to injury, my intestines were examined from both ends so to speak before then, but since it was done on me gluten free nothing abnormal was found, and I went years glutenfree before the sudden onset of my hypokalemia (low potassium) and a truckload of other symptoms that I got at the same time. Everything started in immediate conjunction to a vaccine for swineflu in the winter of 2009-2010 Sigh...

They will also often stick a sugar drip into your body that will lower your immune system's action, and very often for their convenience they will stick you on a saline drip and it is usually turned up so high your legs will swell up. This also ups your inflammation all over your body and is horrible for you! The many benefits of occasional extended fasting and lowering dietary carbs: Your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies in a 72h fast, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps with autoimmune disease, cancers and cytokine storm. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion growths pathogens and plaques by macrophages and other immune cells. This will remove spikes quicker, whether natural or unnatural in origin! Fasting and low carb help with POTS, which is driven by high insulin and blood sugar. Clotting and fibrin are inhibited, stopping any 'unusual' clots. Fasting reduces cortisol over time and improves your circadian rhythm. Fibrosis aka scarring is reversed over time, including in the heart, lungs and clots. When insulin is high, vit D stays locked in the blood cells but fasting quickly lowers it. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Fasting restores NAD+ and increases nitric oxide release to open blood vessels. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, reducing inflammation and allowing the immune bodies to move freely through the body. T cells and T reg cells are vital in fighting cancer, autoimmune disease and infections. With age, the thymus stops making as many of them but fasting releases stem cells, which then can become new T cells. It also releases growth hormone, which regenerates the thymus itself! Fasting increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors and increases average telomere length in stem cell pools. Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate. The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast but most teas and herbs are OK. Supplements and meds often break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasting activates autophagy (literally self eating), which causes cells to recycle damaged proteins and foreign matter such as viruses. Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The obese will lose loose skin while fasting, but the frail will have increased growth hormone release, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility for some women. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitochondrial DNA. Good mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention! Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system, just like the effect of CBD oil Your brain prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal measure to glucose. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Fasting increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood. This stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, which can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with. Fasting stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. They also help with dementia and many other issues even if you take them while not fasting! Glycine and trimethylglycine can also be useful supplements while fasting that won't break ketosis and have many benefits. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors that excrete insulin or certain rare forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all or only with doctor supervision. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis and done under doctor supervision. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast with a low carb meal.

40 years ago the Hospital Food was excellent! Now packaged. In the 60's Cafeteria food in School was home cooked style.

[@celestesaunders2858]

I was admitted for 5 days. I was appalled. They sent a breakfast tray had 127 grams of carbs all processed food. I was so glad to get home and get real food.

[@suzannedixon7450]

I also experienced terrible hospital food. I asked for a grilled cheese sandwitch and was told, " No problem." When it came, it was buried under an unbelievably greasy mass of overcooked slushy french fries. Utterly unfit for human consumption. The sandwich was saturated with grease. Then I come across this. It makes me feel as though we live in a toxic waste inedible food dump. It's way beyond appalling. It's unconscienable.

It's not for our health, rather it's for the absolute destruction of our health.

My brother, who did not have diabetes, was being given insulin in the hospital after sudden problematic blood results. His dinner was a.tray full of sugar.

[@bernadettesmart6471]

Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos. I was in the cardiac ward for 2 weeks after suffering from vaccine injury. I am a vegetarian and the food was horrendous. It was cooked outside the hospital and bought in and reheated. It was absolute mush, ultra processed and being given to really sick people, a lot of them were elderly. It was during Covid restrictions and my husband could only visit every two days. I don’t understand how this could happen in this day and age. I’m in the UK .

[@thomasvanantwerp728]

Doctor, I understand your concerns. However, I was given nutritious, healthful food here in central Florida during both of my extended hospital stays in 2018 and in 2021. It's true that I was also offered sodas, junk food snacks, jello, and sweets. However, the quality and taste of the meals was excellent! (The two hospitals were Adventist Hospital and Tampa General Hospital)

[@arlenefisher1164]

Adventist, as in 7th Day? Makes sense: Loma Linda is one of the blue spots !!!

[@rayoflight62]

"Dr. Dhand tick box" = no UPF. I fully agree. If I can't avoid eating food provided by others, this is the list of things that I absolutely avoid: 1. Vegetable seed oils of all kind - including margarine. 2. Any drink or food with High Fructose Corn Syrup. 3. White/brown sugar (Saccharose) 4. Added/non-natural Sugar-Alcohol (Polyols). 5. Artificial Flavours (Benzophenone etc). 6. Attempt to replace bagged bread with S. Francisco Sourdough bread (4 ingredients bread). Thank you Doctor... Greetings, Anthony

[@mignonowens2350]

Suggestion for a culinary school graduate who is waiting tables: Cook healthy meals that family members can take to their loved ones in the hospital. High protein, high in anti oxidants, low in sugar, add macha or other green tea. A simple meals of salmon, mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli and a salad with homemade, olive oil vinaigrette. You would made a fortune.

[@arlenefisher1164]

Great idea! Though many hospitals won't let people bring in food. I wonder how that could be challenged?? Any legal minds here? Or, perhaps a Dr. could write an order for that, and pt. sign a waiver??

[@wyominghome4857]

Good advice. My husband had his gallbladder removed 4 years ago, which was the last time I was in a hospital and saw hospital food (in the cafeteria). It was so bad I came away convinced that whoever had the food service contract was skimming cash. The side dishes were high-carb pasta. The vegetables were soggy and overcooked. The one meat they were serving that day - brisket - was literally 40 percent fat. Fortunately my husband wasn't allowed to eat much and quickly came home.

[@Randolph1233]

The hospital procurement team, and the supplier have a symbiotic relationship, which is a nut too hard to crack, that the Caring Professions can only watch from a distance.

[@wyominghome4857]

@@Randolph1233 It's a problem of long standing. Many decades ago I worked in hospital admissions and happened to be up on one of the floors when a doctor came storming out of a patient's room, dinner plate in hand, and shoved it under the nose of the nurse on the desk, shouting "THAT is inedible!" Apparently the plate contained a piece of fish that was not only underdone but still had scales on it.

Oh Dr Dhand how I wish you were still in the UK, however, I do think you are meant to be where you are as the US needs you even more than us here.

Great video! I did see one hospital in Pennsylvania that had a vending machine in the lobby that made a healthy salad of your choice. I was shocked!
