You are basically what you eat, what you drink, what you breathe and last but not least, what you think.
Take a good care of these four inputs, I promise, they take a good care of your life.

For those who struggle to transition to plant based from a heavy meat diet, you may need to cleanse your colon first. I transitioned to plant based 12 years ago by first eating 100% raw fruits and vegetables for a month, and it was the most cleansing and revitalizing experience of my life. When I reintroduced cook food, I did it slowly and I paid close attention to each whole plant based food and how it made me feel. I can eat any whole plant based food now, but processed foods like bread and pasta I avoid. They give me gas and bloating.

Another option is to cleanse with a juice fast, where you juice raw fruits and vegetables and drink juice all day, allowing no solid food for days or weeks on end. This is an even more powerful form of cleansing but it’s not easy at all. You have to drink minimally a gallon (4 liters) of fresh juice daily. The juice fast is enjoyable because you feel light and super energized, but it’s not easy. Longest I’ve lasted on a juice fast is 7 days because life always gets in the way.

I just wanted to share this info because I hear a lot of people complaining that they can’t transition to plant based. Believe me, you will be SHOCKED at how much stuff comes out of you into the toilet during a raw food or juice cleanse. When they say everyone has 12-15 meals backed up in their colon, I think that’s underestimating in many cases. But once you get that serpent out of your colon, you will find a plant based diet very enjoyable because you will actually absorb the nutrients finally.

I hope this info helps someone like it helped me.

Lots of controversy on the internet, but the scientific research on the benefits of a plant based diet is overwhelming. Pay particular attention to the credentials of those providing the recommendations and the journals where such research is reported. Here, in the instance of David Sinclair, an acclaimed professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School.

How about spices that are built into Chipotle Salsa? I found that a bake potato has polyphenols? I fry the vegetables and fruits on the stove in virgin olive oil. Does it matter how you cook it? I use fruits and vegetables such as a Granny Smith Apple which are high in polyphenols, broccoli squash, organic bell peppers red and green because they are of color some nuts that are ok to eat: walnuts, almonds and pecans. But no meet or dairy but my problem is sugar and that is in everything including pineapple juice and the fruit yogurt that has 27 Grams of sugar. But now I've learned about the Bravo Yogurt already made in the store but the store doesn't carry it. I will use pepper but not salt unless it's in something. Thank you for the video.

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community

Studies of the diet in Okinawa have shown that Okinawans eat about 100 grams of meat per day and at least an equal amount of fish.

[amarug]

Okinawa is also kinda famous for porc. They eat a lot of it 😅

[Oliver]

Everyone should know the basics at this point, moderate exercise, plenty of sleep and rest, stress free, decent diet that is calorie controlled and weight under control, no alcohol and cigarettes and you're set. Have good genes.

About the Carnivore diet.... We're all different and on the Ken Berry channel there's a woman who went strictly carnivore for 13 years and looks healthy, strong and fit. In fact she looks a lot younger than when she started, she looks like a super model!

[MikeCastelonia]

Wait, doesn't carbs spike Mtor too?

[scotthall]

I do not eat until just before i workout (lrg salad) at 2pm, then after working out, a have a 75g bolus of protein & amino acids, have a small balnced dinner at 6pm, that includes greek yogurt & cottage cheese (more protein) plus a small salad, a chix breast and healthy nuts. Then no mor eating until 2 next day. Do i get any longevity benefit from the 20 hrs, or so, on fasting?

[itishreechhatar]

Female nutrition is different.. We can not fast for 20 hrs.... We have periods also we need all nutrition to fullfill

[martymcfly]

Google superfoods and only eat those food's. Eat 5% below your recommended caloric intake. Studies show that carbohydrate intake should be at 50% of caloric intake, no more or less for longevity. Fats should be healthy fats. Protein should be lean.

[Mike-gdfv]

No bs word salad like others. Doc knows what he's talking about.

[deliaocampo]
