The Worst Ways To Eat Your Vegetables For Better Health & Longevity | Dr. William Li

[@cynthiahumphrey1718]

Worst way to eat veggies: 1. Overcook veggies but soups/stews are okay because you are drinking the broth. 2. Don't throw away stems of broccoli, greens of carrots 3. Don't cook in unhealthy fats or serve with an unhealthy fat if raw (use olive oil). Avoid sugar/ultraprocessed foods/dressings. Instead using spices/herbs to flavor. 4. Deep frying veggies. Roast/bake/air fry veggies instead. 5. Don't just eat a few veggies. Eat the rainbow. We need a variety. Consider organics due to higher polyphenols. Consider getting frozen organic veggies. Veggies are prebiotics and are good for gut health. Thank you Dr. Li! Great video as usual.

I just wanted to say thank you doctor. I have been listening to you for a couple of months now and everything you have said has been beneficial to me. It takes discipline to eat right, but if you stick to your morals you will feel 100% better. So thank you I really appreciate all of your podcasts God bless

Thank you Dr Li, youre such a blessing to humanity. Very grateful

I eat d soft part of the broccoli stem Raw And its so delicious - nutty, crunchy and simply delicious The crunchiness and nutty taste is lost in cooking

[@annlopinto2797]

Just squeezing fresh orange over salad is a good fresh dressing too

I bought 3 packages of gorgeous baby Rainbow Carrots today. Blanched some & sliced all those beautiful colors into my big salad 🥗

Thanks! After listening to you and reading your first book, I am cooking the broccoli steams now too. I also over planted broccoli this season, and I am thinning out the plants by eating sprouts. Thanks so much for the videos! I love vegetables and fruits. Frozen organic like wild blueberries are a great option for out of season or less expensive options.

[@bradstein8776]

I loved reading your book 📖 ❤️. I've already upgraded my lifestyle as much as humanly possible, but I made a few more after reading your book. Thanks

[@Thecom24]

Thank you Dr William Li since I started following you I am very happy with my diet and I cook as you suggest and my meals are delicious. I have dropped 2 stone and weigh 10.4 stone , since August 2024. I do exercises too and play golf. My energy levels have gone up and I am enjoying playing my favourite sport. I am glad I stumbled upon your you tube channel and have subscribed. I am buying you book too, Eat to Beat disease❤.

[@maryegeland932]

Thank you, Dr. Li. I have your books and am looking forward to reading your next one. Keep teaching us.

[@mirabell9362]

Thank you so much Dr Li, I am learning such a lot from you and making changes gradually. I love your positive approach and the way you can simplfy complicated conditions so that they are easy to understand. You mentioned oregano in this video which I ate for years, and loved, but then I discovered that everytime I added it to my food I had an upset stomach, pain, felt sick and really ill for hours. I discovered that majoram, which I have since learned is a relative of oregano, affects me in the same way. I wonder if you can understand this? Everyone I speak to seems puzzled including my doctor.

[@kathleenkulp240]

I have the same reaction to cilantro. it tastes and smells like soap to me.

[@radhikaraj9533]

Good Morning Dr. Li . I need your help . I have severe inflammation in the body . Can you advise what to eat and what not to eat . Please 🙏

[@blakmasta]

He can't do that. You need to see a doctor to do some tests first. Maybe you have allergies that you don't know about, and he gave you advice to eat certain foods that your body can't tolerate.

[@audreyfischer8662]

What do you think about oxalates?

[@radhikaraj9533]

@audreyfischer8662 Good Afternoon Miss Audrey 🙏

[@lindalovesdance777]

Dr. Li. What about people who need to overcook vegetables because of dental issues ?

[@stlounsbury]

Hmmm I suggest a Nutribullet and purée the vegetables that are Ok to be eaten raw or blanched, into a smoothie; add a banana or some berries, it’s great.

[@Jeanetteleuers]

I steam everything that has to be cooked. The most gentle, possibly least expensive healthy way to cook. Keeps all the flavour

[@dsnitzer7123]

Some vitamins in some veggies aren't ascertainable unless well cooked (ie tomatoes) PLUS the longer some vegetables are cooked the more healthy FIBER you get. Remember there is always a balance. Over... YES, OVER cook some. Eat some RAW. Lightly steam or stir fry some. Btw, olive oil has a low smoke point and is NOT good for cooking with because it's RUINED when using on high heat like for stir frying! The better oil to use is pure avocado oil it has zero flavor and doesn't break down using high temps. Even juice some, and then cook the leftover pulp with beans/legumes into a HIGH fiber soup-stew. They ferment in your gut/colon and create a very healthy biome! Don't always eat your veggies only prepared 1 or 2 different ways, but use a large variety of ways for a plethora of veggies.

[@alancarlyon340]

I never deep fry food, let alone vegie's! I eat lots of greens, tomato's, mushrooms, beetroot, mixed veg. I use extra virgin olive oil. I mix some pickle in with the mix veg/snack box. I eat the stems of the broccoli and coli flour, but the outside skin needs peeled off, as it can be a bit hard .

Hi Dr Li. I’ve been following you since that first Ted Talk I listened to of yours. Of course I buy your books - you have helped me help myself so much - life changing. Thank you. I look forward to your new videos and posts. ❤judy

[@gntsidiyahia9452]

Hi Dr Li, I love listening to your podcasts but how about lectins in vegetis that are removed only if we cook them very well??!! Thank you.

[@gracieallen8285]

You sound like you’re listening to Dr. Gundrey.

[@rowenaribo-pattugalan2362]

What about sautéing in olive oil?

[@lindalitschi2476]

School veggies came out of industrial size can and were already overcooked before the lunch personal got them

[@rebeccahunnicutt2768]

If the brown fat shows up when we’re exposed to cold… Then why are the blue zones not cold areas of the world? Wouldn’t people who live in cooler climates live longer?

[@maryannebarrier7281]

Which medications mess up the gut microbiome? In particular omeprazole and miralax?

[@vix101kasmira]

Apologies if I’ve missed but when you boil the veges right can you blend it all together because my dad cannot eat and chew at this time during his cancer

[@JaneLacson-mytrustedbroker]

How about discussing oxalates also?

[@annlopinto2797]

I steamed all my veggies
