The Most Powerful Strategy for Healing People and the Planet | Michael Klaper | TEDxTraverseCity

[@HonoraryGreek]

To illustrate one of the points Dr. Klaper makes; My grandfather died at 62 from a heart attack. His son, my father, had a major heart attack at 62 and was only saved by a triple bypass. Needless to say, I was apprehensive as I approached my 62nd birthday. However, I've been on a plant-based diet for thirty years and, when I did need a minor abdominal hernia op at 63, the hospital gave me a thorough medical. The anesthetist literally didn't believe it when I said I was on zero medication, and the surgeon said I had the heart and lungs of an 18 year-old. I'm now approaching my 67th birthday, and I feel like I'm still 18. One of the pivotal moments in my life was watching Dr. Klaper's lecture from a couple of decades ago, "A Diet for All Reasons." In short, this man changed my life, very much for the better.

[@paulespinoza1994]

I lived off off of home grown garden produce it was great! I have to be honest I still like my good piece grass fed beef twice a month. Exercise and eating 80 percent of your calories by 2:00pm and the other 20 percent by no later than 6:00pm. Detailed studies on this fact has been around for a long time. There are building blocks that you have to have as you build up your health portfolio. I still eat baked chicken with no skin and fish once a week along with unprocessed produce which is more expensive. The fact is that most people can’t afford to eat clean, have you seen the price of organic produce? It’s very high not to m nation the food deserts in the poor or underfunded communities! Right no is I am not totally cutting off high quality meat on occasion. I can tell you I started a high intensity resistance, aerobic and anaerobic exercise program along with a good diet has changed my life. I still have a ways to go I have lost 40lbs dropped 6 inches off my waist, increased my street and flexibility by at least 50 percent. Two, actually three other critical steps complete your path to a longer and healthier life. Number one increase your water intake and cut out sugar based drinks period. If you can use reverse osmosis water it costly but you will feel the difference but water will be fine. Drink at least half your body weight in fluid ounces so if you weigh 200lbs drink at least 100oz a day more during the hot summer months especially while exercising. Second, learn how to breath properly like breathing through your nose even when you sleep it takes commitment but once you get it down again the benefits are life changing. Third is proper sleep duration & quality the studies show 7 to 8 hrs optimal and quality sleep: REM rapid eye movement means your body is in a state of repair and recovery. I am still learning and this is one more block to the foundation of health!

Veganism is essentially a nutritious long-term fast. You will need the full spectrum of amino acids that come from animal collagen eventually. You can at first thrive but eventually the dietary incompleteness will set in. Stay alert to little things in your body as time goes by. If you are raising little children this way they will suffer in intelligence and growth measures compared to other kids on a SAD diet (even though SAD is causing type 1 diabetes and early heart issues in kids).

What a great man is Dr Klaper. This lecture is inspirational, informative, and straight to the point. I have been vegan for about 18 months. My Dr had to take me off anti-hypertensive drugs, my cholesterol levels fell to below average, I lost 14 kilograms in body weight, the arthritis in my right hip and knee improved greatly, my GFR improved, and I became much more energetic and mentally alert. I am 78 years old and full of life. I love traveling, hiking, swimming, and playing my classical guitar.

Great video! Keep doing what you’re doing! As a nurse I have seen that poor diet and lifestyle choices are the main cause of disease. I’m strongly considering studying to be a Doctor just so that I can try and do more and raise more awareness about this issue. No one seems to listen when I try to talk about this at work... however there are a few nurses that I have met that understand this and also want to encourage change but just don’t know what to do because no one seems to want to hear the truth. Persevere, we will cure and treat disease by a simple change of diet and lifestyle choices eventually!

[@pokemonrainbowsaga2849]

Nurses should team up as well and come up with a strategy in terms of encouraging their patients to change their diet and lifestyle. I don’t see this as solely doctor’s responsibility. Preventing diseases are one of the nurses’ responsibility. Thus, they play an extremely important role in preventative care. // nursing-student

We have so few companies which are actually interested in healing and health, because they are centered around profits. We cannot trust these companies to provide healthy food for humans (or animals ) Doctors like Klapper,Esselstein,McDougall,Fuhrman,Griger and others who have not lost their ethics have given up surgery for a more rewarding career,actually helping people. People should not be treated like hogs,to be poked,prodded, slaughtered and butchered! There is a better way to health but we have to put the butchers out of business.

BRAVO!! It has always baffled me how the discussion of nutrition is absent when talking about health and medicine in the U.S... Even now in the time of Coronavirus there is little mention of the importance of good nutrition to boost your immune system, which is our frontline of defense. I have lived in China, and spent long periods of time in Japan and India where nutrition is not only discussed with physicians but even on mainstream TV. On a Japanese TV program they discussed the health benefits of soba (buckwheat) noodles vs. Udon (flour) noodles, and how in winter one (soba) keeps you warmer longer than the other. Japanese of Okinawa have not only most of the worlds centarians, but they are disease free for 97% of their lives. They often attribute this too the vegetables they grow and eat themselves. In China, Traditional Chinese Medicine and sometimes mainstream culture has a lot to say about nutrition and who should eat what and when. In India, another country with a big food culture, Indians know both the nutritional and medicinal benefits of cooking with spices and have an ancient tradition of vegetarianism . When I visited an Ayurvedic doctor in India for my chronic migaines and joint issues, he spent two hours with me discussing my diet and unique circumstances of my body and health. Their traditional medicine prescribes a customized approach to nutrition, according to their gender, age, occupation, lifestyle etc.. Its a much smarter approach to nutrition than a one-size-diet-fits-all approach. Its so refreshing that Dr. Klaper is raising the red flag and alerting all too pay attention to nutrition!

I still eat fish and meat once in a while, and since I've drastically cut down animal consumption my health has improved in so many ways. It's now time to commit to a fully plant based diet. Thank you Dr. Klaper for the amazing work you do and WAKING humanity up!!

[@cashewbutterbananasforever8646]

I thank God that I found a plant based diet and the information- the truth is being told and shared with the world. I got rid of my asthma, the pain, discomfort and anxiousness of having Ulcerative Colitis and the results of a total colectomy. Menstral pain cut down by 70%. Never looking back!

He's also totally wrong. All the problems of the world are caused by sugar, not animal produce.

@Average Commenter I've been doing mine for over twenty years. Now do yours. What is your argument?

[@toni4729]

@Average Commenter Milk has sugar in it and has been screwed up by industry and law. I don't drink it. Yogurt is fine on it's own in the natural form. The rest has more sugar in it than a bloody can of coke. I see nothing wrong with cheese. What do you see wrong with meat? Good grass fed meat is the healthiest stuff on the planet along with fish and eggs.

@Average Commenter When it comes to hormones, I've been eating meat from sheep, beef and pigs all my life and I'll be seventy in January and I haven't grown horns or hooves yet. But I don't eat grains so I will never suffer Celiac disease and I don't consume any sugar or carbs including fruit so I'll never get type 2. I think I'm on the winning side. When it comes to sugar, type 2 is just the start, well almost, rotting teeth starts the ball. Then heart d, then fatty liver and kidney d, brain d like Parkinson's, dimentia, Alzheimer's, blindness, of course obesity and then you start to lose your toes, and feet then your legs and eventually, Oh yes, it kills you. Great stuff sugar.

I love this talk. I have lupus and a couple other autoimmune diseases. NOT ONE doctor asked me about my diet. When I asked THEM about a plant based diet, one doctor responded "You'd really want to live like that?" When I eat plant based, I'm symptom free on zero medications. The alternative would be steroids and plaquenil for life, which is known to cause eye sight problems after you take it for many years.

My doctor asked me about my diet. I told her that I am a vegan. She told me that this is very bad and that it will couse health issues. That was 15 years ago. Still healthy as f***.

[@Waveslider3]

Are you active? I’ve had difficulty being vegan cause I’m too damn active. Went vegan for a couple years and dropped weight lower then when I was a teenager. I think being vegan works for some but not for all.

I could write a book on the idiocies I've heard from doctors. "Herbs are dangerous." Yes, some herbs can be dangerous, but herbs are the original medicine. They're what I use to stay healthy. And a whole foods diet.

Thank you! I’m still struggling with being vegetarian. Hard to do alone. I’m not giving up!! Thank you!

[@carolynt.4455]

I understand. It's hard especially if you're tasked with cooking for meat eaters. I solved this by cooking vegan food with a side of meat that somebody else was given to grill. Everybody's happy. My best advice is - start with eliminating dairy, all of it. That's where you'll notice the biggest immediate difference. You can do this!

[@joannegray8139]

Thank you! I am grateful to have found this. More people need to see/hear/learn THIS! Health care is NOT wellness care.

[@pmoore4529]

That was amazing and insightful! Thank you TEDx and Thank you Dr. Klaper. I appreciate you stepping forward and sharing this information. You gave insight on how the healthcare epidemic can be helped. .... I have seen 'What the Health' and I will seek out the other resources that you have suggested. I will also be sharing this with family, friends, and anyone else I can. I hope we all take it to heart. Thank you again so very much. ❤
