What I Eat in a Day using “How Not to Age' by Dr. Michael Greger | Vegan Plant-Based

Welcome back to *Plant-Based with Jeremy*! 🌿 Today, I’m diving into Dr. Michael Greger’s groundbreaking book, “How Not to Age,” and cooking up a full day of meals designed to promote longevity and optimal health.

Join me as I prepare three delicious and nutritious using ingredients straight from the book:

1. **Superfood Oatmeal** – Kickstart your day with a bowl of nutrient-packed oatmeal, perfect for boosting your morning energy and longevity.
2. **Walnut Taco Salad** – A vibrant, crunchy salad that’s as satisfying as it is healthy, filled with ingredients that help fight inflammation and support cellular health.
3. **Plant-Based Pad Thai** – End your day with a flavorful and hearty Pad Thai, loaded with veggies and longevity-boosting spices.

Throughout the video, I’ll be highlighting some key health benefits from Dr. Greger’s book, including:

Increased AMPK: Helps flip your body from storing fat to burning it.
Reduced Glycation: Slows down the aging process by preventing harmful sugar molecules from binding to proteins.
Spermidine: A compound that aids in breaking down cellular waste and recycling cellular components.
Fights Cellular Senescence: Prevents stem cell exhaustion and reduces chronic inflammation.
Boosts Autophagy: Promotes the breakdown and removal of old, damaged, or abnormal protein cells.
Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces the risk of heart disease, obesity, inflammatory bowel diseases, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, psoriasis, and more.
Boosts Epigenetics: Supports cellular rejuvenation.
Decreases FGF-1: A gene associated with accelerated aging.
Reduces Oxidative Stress: Lowers the risk of infections.
Boosts Sirtuins: Helps silence harmful genes.
Lengthens Telomeres: Keeps DNA stable and extends your “life clock.”

Let’s cook our way to a healthier, longer life together! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more plant-based recipes and health tips. 🌱✨

I liked this video! I make overnight oats every week, about 5 bowls at a time. I use 25 gm rolled oats, 1 tablespoon each of ground flaxseed, chia seeds, oat bran, and cacao powder, 1/4 teaspoon each cinnamon, turmeric and ginger, 250 ml of almond milk. I microwave it for 4 minutes, add blueberries and strawberries on top (fresh or frozen), sprinkle a little stevia powder and it's ready. I love it, even in the summer. Thanks for this video!

A nice addition for a kind of beefy flavor is Marmite which is a fermented yeast product, I think you have featured it on your show. It has a lot of umami, kind of like miso but a different flavor. Also has a fair amount of sodium, so if that's an issue for anyone, take that into consideration. I also started using wheat germ after reading the book.

Great video. I love Dr. McDougall's books. Would love to see you cook something from their cookbooks.😊

Hello hello! Angie from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Im just getting started in WFPB (well, starting AGAIN after a good run a few years back.... but details schmeetails). I love how your videos bring my brain back to to calm when I'm feeling like it's all so overwhelming and too time consuming. You make it seem like everything is just a few easy steps... nothing to get frazzled about.

[JillianSmith-bnvj]

I think there will be a “How not to age” cookbook next year

Some of us are not readers.... for various reasons.
So thankyou for summarising the best of.

Hi Jeremy, Lynn from Gatineau, Quebec. I really enjoyed this video. You took something very complicated and made it simple which I love. I thought of buying this book but I don’t have the patience to go through it all. Now that I see how simple it could be, I might reconsider.

[pattidoyle]

I enjoyed the video. It would be great to see more!
I happen to think the recipe creator that Dr. Gregor writes with is a flavor genius.

[sarahharold]

Huge thank you for clean white background to the recipe. Now it is printable for me; so enjoy your approach to these recipes & the swaps ❤

[annehartgerinkbecker]

Hi ! I’m Anne from Portland Oregon !!!! My daughter June and I watch your channel and make your recipes. June loves seeing Annie on your channel ❤

[sharonhamby]

Hello from East Tennessee! We are just starting to convert to plant based. Your videos are extremely helpful!

[ginad]

Great video, thanks again for sharing your recipes. If I may make a put a damp paper or cloth towel under your cutting boards so they don't move while you are chopping or slicing food. Will be less danger of cutting your fingers while using the knife. Looking forward to more videos.

Helloooo Jeremy! I really enjoy your channel….I have been watching the vegan/ plant based channels for 8 years (when I transitioned into plant based). You have a GREAT channel! I look forward to following your growth and cooking your food! I’m from Northern Kentucky. 😊

Just rewatched this video. The pad Thai looks wonderful! I want to make it! I have made similar taco meat and it's very versatile and tasty.

Try 350 grams of mango with 5 grams of hemp seeds on light ice cream. The texture is creamy and mango flavor really comes through. It makes about three quarters of a pint.

The intro to the video was funny 😆 seeing the book upside down. Another awesome video as always Jeremy and family. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Jeremy & family.

[nialew]

Yes, I would love more videos with what you eat in a day.

[melissamorello]

Would love to see a video like this with dr. Greger’s daily dozen
