Podcast: How to Prevent Cellular Aging

[@naftalibendavid]

Listening helps me stay on track. Every time I eat steamed broccoli instead of some sugary sauce version, I have you folks to thank.

[@Edaryion]

You steam broccoli? That seems interesting!

[@Amoreena51]

So true! Dr Gregor is highly inspirational!!

[@wgg6188]

…I also make the videos loud enough for my husband to overhear…:)

[@Jeramiedreyfuss]

I learned to steam broccoli from Dr. Greger. Also chop and let it sit for 45 minutes Also add some powdered mustard

[@liableraptor1]

I wish more people cared about they have health. I got family members going through prostate cancer and breast cancer. Explain to them and send them information on how to reverse some of these problems but it goes in one ear and out the other

[@Fartboy226]

Get them vegan replacement meats

[@charlottemartin2203]

Vegan replacement meats are highly process. They are consumed by those who believe in animal rights. For nutrition eat WFPB

[@KalvinYu]

Some ready to eat mixed nuts are cooked/fried in palm oil which could explain the telomere shortening. Always look for dry roasted.

[@Fearzero]

Roasting destroys enzymes. You want raw nuts and seeds soaked for several hours to lower phytates and lectins.

[@michaelkelly60]

Hi Dr Greger and team - I was wondering if you'd considered pushing your non profit credentials up to the head of your videos? I put people onto your work all the time and they have a hard time distinguishing why they should listen to you over other more marketing motivated diet influencers. I think the fact that this is done out of service to humanity rather than service to selling is a strong motivator for me to listen to you ( yknow aside from your content being based on facts. ) Many Thanks! 😊

[@tinknal6449]

LOL, "non profit".... Him and his "team" draw handsome salaries from that non profit.

[@michaelkelly60]

Für die viele Arbeit muss er belohnt werden, wer arbeitet umsonst?

[@michaelkelly60]

I really hope that, if you're intelligent enough to be looking at these videos, you're also able to grasp the difference between not-for-profit and free. Nobody used the word free.

[@fablesandwisdom]

You are the best Dr. Greger - better than all the rest! Your contribution is immense and I thank you so much for getting me on track with my health and life. I love listening to and watching you!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@sergekamga4512]

you are a freaking rock star. I'm using the information you share for free to remake my body, my health, and my life. thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@briangilliland]

I really appreciate the research you cite! Easier to trust!

[@MrMickshan]

I'd like to see a video on tempeh. Specifically, how to cook it to remove the sour/bitter aftertaste without destroying the spermidine. People recommend boiling it for five minutes to improve the flavor, but what gets killed?

[@PlantbasedSilvi]

Man kann auch Spermidin kaufen und in Kuchen oder Bohnenplätzchen einarbeiten. In Deutschland wurden in der Coronazeit Bonbons mit Spermedin hergestellt.

[@luzaguirre2830]

Thanking you for your love & concern of your fellow man❤❤❤

[@sophisticatedcarrot]

Love your efforts to keep us healthy. Thank you. ❤

Keep up the good work

[@barbarashirland9078]

Thank you for your lit searches and your books! Can't wait to read How Not to Age.

[@karenmauer2381]

Thank you from the heart, Dr. Greger.

[@Edaryion]

Thank you for the new podcast episode!

[@ThePiggiestOne]

I need to start taking notes

[@shannm5248]

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you!

[@mizz308]

Thank you doc ♥️

[@nancieamethyst2541]

Awesome research Dr G. Meditation deffo has made my skin look much younger, no lie. You have to feel the love and bliss tho!

[@deborahmclean3008]

Thanks Doctor❤

[@debstayblessed9549]

Fiber consumption better if soluble or insoluble for teleomere length? Or doesn't matter?

[@Fartboy226]

Both cutie

[@AndrewPawley11]

I love these podcasts!

[@valeriewilson12]

Dr. Gregor, thank you so much for your very helpful videos. I love that you donate all proceeds to charity in honor of your grandmother ❤ My question is, how do you make yourself like cruciferous vegetables if you have always hated them (and even the smell of them makes you nauseous!) Please help! Thank you 💖

[@pilonpatrick573]

I'm no doctor, but I would suggest to "camouflage" the taste, with spices. I used to hate matcha tea, but I started mixing it with a raspberry herbal tea, and now, it's my go to drink ! try some ginger powder, on your broccoli 😊

[@bijanok1361]

Thank you 🙏❤️

[@andyh7559]

Did I miss it or did we leave out another low hanging fruit. Sleep. Just coming off 16 years of night shift. Plus caregiver responsibilities. Sleep is huge. The ripple effects alone are significant. (ever have to read documents at 2am) sugary processed food to kick in the dopamine is practically a requirement lol.

[@MichaelToub]

Great Video!!

[@pascalxus]

thanks for another excellent post!

[@notdisclosed4597]

Thanks Dr. Greger!

[@glamour328]

Soda water or soda beverages shorten the telamir?

[@fidelkva4810]

sugar-sweetened beverages

[@meshackgaolathe6492]

Could extra virgin olive oil have any effect at all?

[@showkatkhan8461]

hi how many grams of nuts should be taken daily? thank you.

[@PlantbasedSilvi]

30g

[@closetcleaner]

Is there an affordable, reliable test for telomere's length?

[@205rider8]

Doesn’t matter about test. Damage is done. Just eat the best you can to minimize future damage.

[@ritaferreira2682]

So, cooked cruciferous vegetables?

[@joannahikes1337]

Dr Greger how important is it that these cruciferous vegetables be organic?

[@pilonpatrick573]

dr. Gil Carvalho, at "Nutrition Made Simple" , suggests not to lose sleep over that, especially if you're on a budget. I buy my apples and berries bio, though, because they're more vulnerable to pesticides

[@barbarasaunders2160]

Would adding fiber like Metamucil help the telomeres length?

[@aquie4d999]

Probably not, food it's more complex that any supplement. Most likely it's not only the fiber that lengths telomeres, but what comes with it, probably many things we didn't discover yet

[@teredavila572]

❤️

[@yes-today.]

Probably not, eat real fresh foods like vegetables and fruits

[@00bikeboy]

Maybe, but why not just eat vegetables? You get all the fibre, flavour, and variety.

[@phillippinter7518]

Who else is Not surprised that cooked vegetables are better than raw. Idk how many people I have told that what they hear about cooked vegetables is wrong

[@purityandplants]

But raw was better for anti-inflammatory. Guess I will cover all my bases and eat raw and cooked 😅

[@KJSvitko]

Facts NOT opinions.

[@leftyfourguns]

So basically, meat and dairy are a far bigger health crisis than cigarettes ever were.

[@Jeffs60]

Meat and dairy have proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals the body needs to prevent all diseases but cigarettes, candy and soda have none of those 4 nutrients so you can't compare them in the same group.

[@KinaStaru]

What about eating fries but cooked in an air fryer without oil and low heat cooking about 165. I'm so sad i love French fries and i couldn't live without them 😥😣 that news already stressed me out lol rip my telomeres

[@Fearzero]

Eating fries once a week isn't going to harm you if you eat healthy the rest of the time

[@paulramsey2000]

French fry shaped potato slivers cooked in the oven without oil are called "potatoes". Or whatever you want to call them. But they're definitely good food.

[@TravisH-nm9fy]

You can bake them without oil for a healthy option. Dont forget to season them with some healthy herbs and spices !

[@paulramsey2000]

@@gb7168 This is an area of debate. In particular Dr John McDougall is quite the cheerleader of potatoes and NutritionFacts hasn't had anything bad to say about them either when they aren't salted or fried. Broccoli is certainly more nutritionally dense and diversity tends to be a good thing but I don't think there is anything wrong with potatoes.

[@travisn346]

​@@paulramsey2000Fuhrman hates white potatoes and white rice, McDougall loves them. I'm on team McDougall here

[@androz38]

For the algorithm😊

[@chinookvalley]

I'm going to search thru your videos, but if anyone can link me I'd appreciate it: I need a high fat KETO diet because it helps calm my epilepsy, but I don't want to eat meat or dairy. I have a 30 yo brain injury (I'm in my late 60's) and a genetic disorder that makes my mitochondria FORGET how to absorb nutrients. Any suggestions? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and great info and attitude!

[@321morlan4]

I don’t know for sure, but wanted to attempt an answer since no one responded. Let me know if you have come across any answers since you posted. Keto means no carbs, correct? As to high fat, nuts and avocados have high fat. I’m not sure if they are keto but believe they are low in carbs. Beans have carbs so that is out. Soup, juices, and smoothies might aide absorption. I think some vitamins are sold as skin patches.

[@barbarasaunders2160]

Job related telomere length shortening......😮 😢

[@SilverFan21k]

I was surprised to see you cover this topic. Are you a fan of Longevity?

[@JoAnn_Vegan_USA]

He has a book about it, "How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older".

[@jamesherried9269]

Dr. Mike Lustgarten has reported that broccoli, onions and cloves have increased his telomere lengths.

[@Hyperion1040]

Robert Lustig MD said that China Study is 500 pages of correlations and no cosations. Moreover he said that saturated fats are neutral (meat) or protective (dairy). I'm confused!?

[@andanssas]

Correlations may be used as indicators to look up for causations. The _China Study_ was like a scout in unchartered terrain, it did not establish cause and effect but raised suspicions of meat&casein impact. @gb7168 points are valid.

[@IceBoNeZ]

There's far more valid evidence based science which proves irrefutably the detrimental effects of animal based saturated fats & proteins on human nutrition.

[@Emile-philia]

Yes you seem to be.

[@HeCedTooMuch]

Prevent? I could die with long telomeres!! Sweet

[@travisn346]

Genetics is always the equalizer at the end of the day. Edit: I'm not dismissing epigenetics or the WFPB diet. Some fates are beyond our control.

[@IceBoNeZ]

Genes can can be triggered or not, turned on or not.. and daily diet & lifestyle actually are the major factors for promoting or deterring gene activity or not.

[@travisn346]

​@@IceBoNeZto an extent. The people in my family who lived into their 90s never exercised and ate horribly. Look at hair loss. That's not a choice it's a destiny.

[@AlexiHolford]

What happened to Dr. Greger’s voice? It sounds like it is being generated by AI or something.

[@OnlineMD]

A proven effective way to cut the telomeres short, and in fact chop them off, is to take a machine gun in hand and run around screaming "God Is Great." We humans have been chopping off our telomeres in the name of God for at least a couple of thousand years. I don't guess we'll ever learn. That said, a major focus should be on obtaining peace of mind with meditation, walking in nature, cultivating warm friendships, and developing a compassionate nature. Developing a hateful mind will do the exact opposite.

[@citizenavatar]

Impressive ethics.. re : advertising

[@adriangabrielgramada1016]

Unfortunately this is not quite true :)

[@jackschitt6235]

This doctor was in front of me in line at McDonald's recently. He got a triple 🥓 bacon cheeseburger 🍔🍔🍔!

[@samsanchez8247]

This man, who rapidly aged 15 years in the span of just 5, is telling us how to avoid aging? When I told you this man was only in his early and mid 40's this WHOLE TIME at the time of publishing his "how not to die" book, you'd never believe it. He just turned 50 this year but legit looks 65. look at his live streams if you don't believe me. Shocking

[@hctim96]

So it's all about how you look and not your health? Lets see a double blind placebo controlled study of the relationship of looks to health? Oh btw no plastic surgery eh mate?

[@marcirobins5144]

Judge, much? Post your pictures, write your book, and start your yt channel. And don’t forget Medical School. And professional positions. We’ll wait.

[@sustainablelife1st]

yes, i was shocked to learn his age. He just has one of those old looking faces, and he has male pattern baldness, which no diet can cure. I guarantee though feel better and outlive and dead flesh eater.

[@OfficialAlgathonix]

From that logic you should only take diet advice from young influencers ;-) See how that works out for you.

[@samsanchez8247]

For those saying I need to post MY photos to have an opinion, get real. It's one thing to age. It's another thing to claim you have the "HEALTHIEST DIET ON THE PLANET THAT PREVENTS CELLULAR AGING" and clearly not look the part. If you're going to have a moral high ground, and if you're going to persuade people that your diet is the best diet on earth, you better look the part.

[@uchechinletem5004]

So boring
