🤭😂I love your little face popping up on screen Dr Greger x

Very interesting !! Lots of my favorite recipes contain sesame, I will continue moving forward with those. I noticed before this lifestyle change I was loosing muscle around my knees and they ached. After the lifestyle change I noticed my knees have more muscle tone and less pain!! 😀

Excellent. Thanks for the video Dr Greger. I like to add sesame seeds to salads sometimes, otherwise rarely use them. The Japanese usually add a sprinkling to dress their dishes.

I'd forgotten this one if I'd seen it prior. Still . . excellent information. Starting tomorrow ☀️

Thanks for this great video. I would like to know if there is any information about Tahini and glycation? Since it is made from raosted seeds, is tahini high in AGEs?

Adding something healthy to the food means that automatically we eat less unhealthy stuff too. :)

I mill flax seeds for my daily oats, but only have sesame seeds once a week, to sprinkle on Asian dishes I prepare.
Need to start including sesame seeds in my oats!

I would be interested to know if Dr. Greger thinks tahini would give the same results as whole sesame seeds ? I make hummus using tahini. Would chick peas, lemon juice and olive oil effect the absorption of what ever is in the sesame seeds that is good for you. Also, would roasting the seeds be good, bad or indifferent?

[effort]

is tahini a good source of sesame, or do I need to use the actual seeds?

Plus Plus for me- OA of the knees so bad and I love sesame seeds and especially toasted sesame oil👍 I can't wait to incorporate more into my diet and see what happens with my 9 out of 10 pain💯
Thanks🙏

I daily consume sesame seeds in oats early morning after workout.

Incredible! I just started sesame powder since 3 weeks, but just because it’s 50% proteins lol

I found that you have to eat sesame seeds cooked, otherwise it goes straight through you. Sesame is also great for skin.

And what about the estrogenic activity and the phytoestrogens I can read at 3:00 ? Are they good for men ?

[lisengel]

Just one tablespoon of sesame seeds - sounds good - but are they to be enten raw? Soaked? Rosted? ( as in macrobiotic) or ?

[NataschaO]

Would Tahini be okay or does it have to be the whole food? Forty grams of sesame seeds is a lot.

[Jewels]

So a drizzle of tahina on salad daily should do same thing

My Mum had rheumatoid arthritis and she accepted a trial of gold injections. Also steroids. She developed a 'moon face', chromes disease and died in bed of a heart attack. : (
