Not all plant foods are linked to less cellular aging based on telomere attrition, and not all animal foods are linked to more.

best
Yet another great video from Dr. Greger. Thanks for continuing to bring us such amazing evidence based nutrition advice!
❤
what about eggs
"Pistachio consumption did not significantly slow the rate of telomere shortening, and a study on mixed nuts found a higher risk of telomere shortening in the, which no explanation. Therefore, it is unclear whether nuts have a consistent impact on telomeres."
If mixed nuts/seeds didn't work, lol So what seeds do they recommend?
I have problems eating cruciferous vegetables because I get very painful gas. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
Thank you Dr. Gregor!!! and everyone who volunteers!!
I'm a little confused by the chart at 4:52. It "appears" that on chart B the control group had increased telomere lengthing and the nut eating group barely improved. Am I reading this wrong?
So cool 😀 thank you <3
In the kale study, both the "raw" and cooked kale was freeze-dried prior to consumption. So the results may not translate to the impact of the consumption of unprocessed kale or brassica vegetables.
There is a study showing that yogurt has beneficial effects on telomeres:
"Yogurt and Streptococcus thermophilus metabolites ameliorated telomere attrition in D-galactose-induced ageing mice and t-BHP-challenged HepG2 cells"
Fermented milk foods is better that raw milk, so don't put all dairy products in the same basket. I would be completely stupid.
Very informative! Thank you so much for sharing all this valuable information and updates!
🖖🏾🌍🌱
Doc – I was awaiting this video like Swifties awaiting the next Taylor Swift song. I suspect you raised zero eyebrows with the news that cruciferous dark leafies are great for telomeres. Certainly not the eyebrows of your lovely audience. I write this with a stomach full of kale, broccoli, okra, black beans, oats, blueberries, flaxseed meal, blackberries, a date, balsamic vinegar and a ton of spices (including mustard powder, that myrosinase delivery tool that you taught us about LOL). Thank you for all you do again. 👍💚🙏
I think I will make some lightly steamed broccoli with pine nut and basil pesto (and have it with a cup of green tea) for dinner for my son and I tomorrow. Mmm…. yum.
As an omnivore, I always check what Dr Greger has to say about which plants to eat. I do try to regularly eat one lbs of raw/cooked veggies (mostly no starch) per day. Thanks for the video.
What would cause me to sweat, shake and throw up from drinking lemon ginger blast juice or beet, carrots, apple and ginger juice??? Maybe drinking to fast?? Thank you

Are only raw nuts healthy, not roasted, due to carcinogens generated while roasting?
ok, I'll eat some kale later ugh
*Lucas Werner has entered the chat
What about ( Steamed) instead of cooked or raw?????
That may be Trumped by a deep fryer. 🤣 By the way, I've been studying Bryan Johnson who eats whole-food vegan, takes a sht-ton of supplements, measures all sorts of biomarkers and shares the results online.
That was a shock lol
So glad to hear that cruciferous vegis are the healthiest. Lately i've got hooked on broccolini, but any will do. Steamed Brussels Sprouts… oh, yum! Thanks for doing all this research. It's important info.
I love this channel … and soon, so will one million other people. Amazing!
I already consume healthy amounts of kale and green tea everyday of the world.. Thanks for substantiating.
This sounds like BS to me. What is the accuracy of measuring the length of telomeres? If you measure the same sample say 5 times, what is the variation in the measurement? Plus or minus what percent? I'll bet the variation in telomere measurement alone, is enough to explain the findings shown.
Comment for the algorithm
👍 👍 🖖
How about microwaving kale until it just about wilts. That's what i do with my salad
Great to hear Ethiopian food is being studied!!
Thank you, Dr Gregor for all your work bringing us the invaluable info ❤
I like your vids but bro you quote questionnaries studies seriously lol (poultry & telemores)
I need lots of floss these days. Kale gets stuck in me teef 😅😅😅
amazing, tysm !
enjoyed how raw / cooked both have beneficial effects.
follow up on the mixed nuts portion ? (maybe those mixed nuts had CRAP-calorie rich and processed oils onboard ?) thank you !
More reason to eat whole foods plant base!
eating Kale while watching this.. 🙂
One of your best videos ever for persuading people to move to a whole food plant-based lifestyle
Bit of a bummer for us raw vegetable addicts. Can't stand cooked veggies!
literally got some frozen matcha and had it today, lol. along with walnuts… beamns…
Everybody should go to their local Asian market and give bok choy, gai lan, and yu choy a try. Very healthy for you.
Dr. Greger, I love you
Thanks Doc and staff ❤🥦
❤
Lovely as usual Dr Greger!
Thank you 😊 and Your team for your contribution !
Soy which is a legume is extremely high in phytoestrogens. In fact it’s not fit for human consumption for a young female. It put me in a estrogen dominant state, even soy sauce makes my whole face break out in acne and I get period pains mid cycle and a shooting pain in my right ovary when I eat tofu. Check out all the other ‘foods’ that are very high in lignins and plant estrogens, nuts, tahini paste and other seeds are chock full of these as they don’t want to be eaten! Check out the study where they fed sheep red clover, it makes them all infertile. I’m sad to say I’m no longer vegan 🙏
Hey, I saw a woman who had 90 degree posture and deteriorated joints. I told her to take B12 😊
I have a thought about the poor showing of mixed nuts. When I see the words "mixed-nuts," what immediately comes to mind is the roasted and salted nuts we used to find at bars to make people thirsty. Those are still sold by Planters in the grocery aisle. I wonder how many people were eating those mixed nuts with all that oil and salt?
Did the tests with milk consider growth hormone additives or grass fed v grain fed?
Since I'm poor and don't have choice where I live next to a hotel I have through the years developed chronic insomnia from drunk people next door and that's now affecting my brain in ways I have no knowledge how permanent long term sleep deprivation causes on the brain
Hi Dr Gregor. Could you make a video on Seaberry (Sea Buckthorn) please. I drink Peppermint and Nettle tea now and have found my joints are more flexible. I also drink Plantain herb water. Not to mention I put Japanese Knotweed herb in my daily smoothie which has got rid of the phlegm on my lungs. I'm 57 and drug free.
Thank you for all your amazing videos promoting plant based health. Check out the British "Sea Buckthorn and Gut Health" Nutrition video on YouTube. The Brits are finally understanding how important Plant Based foods are to our health.
I’d like to see if the chickens were free range or corn fed and full of antibiotics. Same with red meat..grass fed?
I would be interested in your assessment of the various studies that claim a genetic mutation that prevents the Inuits from going into ketosis.
My casual perusal seemed to indicate that there is some kind of mutation that took place, though it seems that now the validity of the methodology of the blood tests that were used to determine this is in some question.
Also it seemed that some of the studies indicate a condition that prevents them from transitioning to ketosis merely from low/no carbs, but that they could still go into ketosis is they fasted.
The whole thing seemed inconclusive, which left me wondering if some party had an interest in keeping this matter in doubt. They also indicated that the Inuits actually ate more carbs than was first believed and this kept them from ketosis. To me, if it were actually true that the Inuit, in their traditional life, had developed such a genetic mutation, this would settle this entire matter, as to the long term viability of ketosis. It would also settle the matter of low carb, carnivore, vs med, plant based — once and for all: for those who understood the implications of natural selection selecting against long term ketosis.
Perhaps though, the moment has been lost along with the traditional sequestered life style of the Inuit, and if the data we have is questionable it may be too late to ever learn the conclusion to this debate that life itself had selected. I would be most interested in any view you had on this matter.
5:23 were the mixed nuts salted? It’s easier to eat unsalted walnuts than unsalted mixed nuts.
Telemore shortening proses iş guite similiar to "entropy" in thermodynamics.
👍🏻 животные продукты – зло.
Крестоцветные блокируют усвление йода, который людям нужен для щитовидки, гормонов и много ещё чего.
Thank U. Dr. Gregor: How Not To Die!
4:31 telomeres are shorter in the "walnut" group, at the start?
4:50 same for the % of shortest telomeres, they have more than the control group, and about the same at the end???
nice
Why don't rabbits live forever?
very good,thank you
Astragalus has been proven to keep telomeres longer.
🙏💜
Dr. Patrick has many worthwhile videos relating to this on YouTube. Mustard powder ups sulphurophane
Regarding supplements, did they test the effects of NMN on telomere length?
Take that raw vegans haha, both is what it's all about
Cauliflower ?
