Understanding inflammation

In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta discusses the subject of inflammation and how it is central to understanding why people develop heart disease and heart attacks. contact me via Facebook on [e-mail]

[@ranstra12]

1. Eat local, organic food....no processed foods. 2. No smoking. 3. Get enough sleep. 4. Exercise regularly... moderate cardiovascular exercise every day. 5. De-stress.

I think this is the summary and main message of all informational videos in all of KZbin. If everyone follows these simple points then that's enough for a good healthy life.

Three or four years after this video, my Cardiologist STILL has never given me any of the information Dr. Gupta has about my heart issues. That's why once you watch him, you become addicted. Plus the bonus of his good looks, pleasant personality, super knowledge and wonderful accent. A medical GEM 💎!

[@Diana-007]

This is one of your older videos but very much needed, great explanations and simple clear advice, inflammation is not really spoken about in detail - I’m converted, no more processed food for me, had a couple of things during the week but I’m retired now, no excuse not to cook from scratch most of the time😊, more exercise required, stress is under control, so no more excuses from me, hope I can stop any deterioration in those arteries! no symptoms so far 🤞 thank you Dr Guptar your a lovely man and a lifesaver. 🥰

I have just been to a specialist cardiologist for coronary calcium test,ECG, & other tests all good im 58.....and the one thing i remember him saying he said & I quote "Every disease is in someway related directly or indirectly to inflammation" & thankyou doc for your wonderful vids(side note look up the science of meditation & how it reduces inflammation ..there is mounting evidence to support when your very still & deeply in a meditation state the body can heal dramatically hope this helps❤

Dr. Gupta, I finally understand how heart disease starts. You did a wonderful job of explaining how it happens and why. The knife versus toothbrush analogy is brilliant.

Hi Dr Gupta! I’m a 61 yo RN in the US, and I just have to thank you for the wonderful teaching you’re doing!! I started listening/watching you because of the ectopic beats I’ve been having for a year now due to stress (and at times from an over full stomach) which I discovered from your videos. I’m beyond grateful for the way you’re able to get through to my adult ADHD brain!! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!! Thanks, too, for sharing the magnesium/stress/hyperventilation connection!! So helpful !!!! I’m scheduled to have an echo and a stress test separately this week coming, and then I’ll wear a Zio XT patch for 2 weeks. I have a horrific family history for heart attacks and my Mum had a CABG x3 at my age, so I’m motivated to get checked out. My main point for writing is to thank you for making an enormous difference in my life! I’m a stubborn ice cream addict, but because of your teachings, I’ve given up ice cream, along with other sugars, gluten, and dairy. so that I can live to see my first grand baby due to arrive in 6/19, and it’s a boy!! I’ve known for years that I need to make changes, however, it’s just now that I’m willing and able to finally take action because of the way you presented the information. Please know that you’re exactly the catalyst I needed to desire permanent change and health for myself!! I’m 45 lbs too heavy (which I’ve lost & regained again 3 times over the past 20 years), I have PCOS, HTN, and my A1c is 5.6, so your timing is spot on!! May God continue to Bless you and your family💖 Kindest Regards, Susan Joy Lundin, RN

Try eating keto, it is regarded as anti-inflammatory and it will help you to lower and stabilize ( no sugar peaks) the sugar in your blood, and lose weight.

Unless you were born with a congenital disease most bad habits that lead to heart disease diabetes Alzheimer's are taught through bad diet through the generations it's not something that you're born with although your body can have a propensity to get sick because of being therapy but what if you were adopted and you didn't know what your family had you couldn't blame it on them.

[@mannyradzky493]

An absolutely fabulous vid. Thank you dr, you are a REAL dr. You look at the big picture and are big on prevention. Most conventional drs are pill pushers for the drug lords “big pharma”. I had serious heart issues in 2014, and for 2015, took the beta blockers, spironolactone, and statins. I was slowly worsening. What the system has to offer for chronic disease is garbage. I put the statins in the garbage, dramatically reduced the other meds. At the same time, I went low carb, healthy high fat, lots and lots of greens. Took out all the processed food. I take magnesium, carnitine, d-ribose, ubiquinol. I can tell you, at age 60, I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. Also, good quality sleep, daily exercise and I get out in the sun when it’s available. Laugh when you can.

[@CalmVibesVee]

“80% of Western disease is due to lifestyle.” Yes Sir. Thank you good Dr. I am currently learning/experimenting with decreasing inflammation thru lifestyle change. I switched to a modified low carb ketogenic diet x5months and already having great results. My migraines stopped within a week. Many other excellent side effects so far. I recently experimented with eating more nuts resulting in negative mood change and headache so maybe something with excessive omega 6. So cut them back down and the symptoms went away. Next experiment will be with increasing olive oil also intermittent fasting. I will look to see if you have a video on fasting. I feel good when I practice it but I wasn’t able to do it well till I switched to low carb lifestyle. I have also been more sensitive to caffeine since ketogenic so switching to decaf and herbal teas now. I have so much to learn. I am *very thankful for your generosity* in teaching us thru these videos. What an honorable work you are doing. So grateful Sir. 🙏🏼 Much respect.

[@LTTang]

I wish that you were on KZbin 11 years ago. I listened to my doc and tried to control my cholesterol. That was all I worried about. He didn’t aggressively emphasized he importance of lowering the inflammation factors. I took statin and thought that was all I needed. Fast forward. I’m looking a quadruple bypass surgery in three weeks. These days, good ,clear, and direct information from caring professionals are very scarce. No doctors want to be vocal and push good health. The ones that do are either selling a book or vitamins. If you read this, please help advise us with heart disease on how to eat properly and reemphasize that staying healthy heart requires many lifestyle commitments other than just taking statins. Thanks.

[@jtwn12]

Eat from the perimeter of the grocery store, and don't go down the Isles. That is a good place to start. Thank you Doctor Gupta, very informative.

So good to see a respected, educated professional be honest about the profit motive ruining our health - and of corporate greed being responsible for our ignorance about tobacco earlier and pre-packaged food now. You're a brave man to also link the media to the whole con though. We have been manipulated for so many generations now, few are even aware of it.

[@kristofstuer2263]

It is so great that people who also studied the conventional medicine look deeper, and just logical thinking by looking at different aspects. Indeed inflammation by refined sugars, stress and regular medicines and lack of electrolytes and minerals and enzymes cause heart problems

My mom died last year. She grew up on a mostly vegetable diet and she said her habitS Changed when she started eating foods that my dad would like (which were more meaty). My dad’s genetics allows him to eat lots of meat and he is 72 and has smoked for 59 years of his life. The difference is my mom took on a lot of the stress as mothers do and I see the connection between stress and disease. Thank you to yourself and your team of helpful people. I will hope to live a better life with good advice. You’ve got a new subscriber in me.

It is a bit clearer now. But "inflammation" is still confusing. I cut my finger and the body has an inflammatory response to heal the wound. I jog 10 miles and my knees are swollen due to inflammation. That makes sense. But he talks about stress being inflammatory. That seems mysterious and *very different than an acute injury* that you can see. Hence the knife and toothbrush analogy. 🤔 He says to reduce stress but good luck reducing stress in today's world.☹ Also, a high degree of stress can often be very beneficial and motivational.
