Out of order, but I got most.

Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, Kale, Collards (greens), Beet Greens, Brussel Sprouts, Arugula, Asparagus, Mustard Greens, Turnip Greens, Broccoli, Cilantro, Parsley,
Spinach, Napa Cabbage.

For those that prefer script instead of a quick voice.

I'm positive that becoming plant-based (vegan) 11 years ago has changed my life for the better. I watched my total cholesterol drop from 280 to 147 (147 is lower than ldl alone in 2012. My blood pressure has dropped from average 169/101 to average 132/78 and by also cutting out additives like sugar, glucose and fructose) I've watched my A1C drop from 6.8 to a much healther 5.4. I now have a resting heart rate of 57 (this is due to my increase in cardio exercise) and my top weight in 2012 of 254 lbs to my current weight of 192lbs. If I didn't change my lfestyle, particularly what I aste at age 54, I'm not so sure I would've made to my current 65.

The human body heals itself in many ways if you stop harming it at a faster rate than it can do that.

Wow CNN actually spreading some true, important news!

Ancient medicine believed that people with hatred were prone to heart disease, including high blood pressure and stroke. So, if you want to solve these problems, you have to be kind to others.

[jimhenderson]

The words refined sugar and flour, in his what people shouldn't eat list, were conspicuous by their absence

[wednesdayschild]

The thing is that diet will cause weight loss. Whole grains are awful for blood sugar. Imo the meat is not the problem, it is insulin and blood sugar.

[TheJpep]

Fish like salmon is one of the healthiest foods in the world.

[vapeking]

I have seen folks accomplish the same thing on a carnivore diet.

We're trying cayenne pepper and Hawthorne for my husband's congestive heart failure. Along with healthy foods and no salt.

[georgelouis]

I'm tired of having a hard time breathing and I'm tired of my veins turning hard and lumpy. I'm going to switch from Pizza to Pasta. I'm done with Meat, Dairy and oils! FUCK!

[celinafelix]

Your generosity towards my health issues is
incomparable, you assured me of getting healed
and here I am strong and healthy. Thank you Dr Ofenmu on YouTube. I will let the world know about
your kind gesture..

I'm 13 and do not have a good diet due to a binge eating disorder, I have started having what I think are hot flashes where my heart goes fast I get shaky and my face and hands feel warm and I also am always very tired so something very obviously needs to change now

[JDiamond]

Not entirely true, …but good advice, I heard a vegan had a heart attack and the cause was lack of Omega oils, the absence of the Omega cause him to eventually have a heart attack. He was skinny also.

"Eat nothing that has a mother or a face". I'll try to remember that.

[joederocco]

this cant be right. olive oil is great for the heart as is salmon.

[steelmikey]

Meeting Dr. Shek on YouTube has really been one of the best day of my life after years of suffering from this disease, am getting better now, God bless you sir.

[GoodDr.]

Thank you for the information. By prioritizing self-care, you're showing love and appreciation for your heart

[ooeiljs]

If your body had been used to certain food all your life it will go into shock if you remove suddenly.
