Food and lifestyle for heart health. How can we improve the capacity of our blood vessels to repair themselves?
We can also boost the ability of our endothelium to function by eating nitrate-rich vegetables, like beets and greens. See Oxygenating Blood with Nitrate Rich Vegetables (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/oxygenating-blood-with-nitrate-rich-vegetables/).

Dr Rhonda Patrick said that non-smokers with low levels of Omega 3 scored the same in terms of heart disease and cancer as smokers with high levels of Omega3.
Amazing research as always
My husband ate a sad diet, drank green tea and jogged 5 kilometers a day religiously for years and at age 54, suffered a near death widow maker heart attack. He’s Whole Foods Plant Based, plant perfect now, according to Dr. Esselstyn, in hopes to save his life from a further heart attack and strengthen his heart muscle to normal again.
I want to follow a Whole Foods plant based diet but it seems like the more plant foods I eat the sicker I get and I my nerve pain gets so bad I wind up in bed for two days. How can all this research point to a whole plant food diet and my experience be so different? 😔
The 4-session How Not to Age Book Club starts January 26! Dr. Greger will provide highlights from each section and open the floor for questions. Find out more and register here: https://nutritionfacts.org/webinar/how-not-to-age-book-club/
Dear Dr Greger, with the same conviction as you promote WFPB, Dr Seyfried promotes Carnivore for Cancer Premtion and Treatment and many followers were cured….who Really has scientific evidence on his side?
Muchas gracias al Doc y a las personas q traducen! ❤
Someone needs to invent green tea that taste like black tea.
👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing <3
I saw you're doing a video conference on your book tour in Sedona, AZ. I was like "aw man, but I want him to sign my book!" Haha 😅
Thanks
It never ceases to amaze me the number of BAD things that are associated with SMOKING, yet, people just continue to PUFF away like there is nothing wrong with doing it…………..even the younger generation……..????? I suppose I will never understand this self destructive behavior and the inability to STOP when its been documented and tested to be harmful in so many ways…..????
So, eat berries and onions and drink green tea ……as much as possible…especially if you smoke……..
Thank you!
I would also say, don't be lazy and grow most of your food yourself. Even if you don't have a garden you can grow a variety of shrooms to eat.
Yes🫀More heart health stuff please. A Dr. Esselstyn talk would be awesome with you
My heart must be a toddler at this stage – I drink pints of green tea and eat berries with porridge every morning, and – of course – I am WFPB!
👍 Whole food plant based for the environment and health; vegan for the victims!
I stopped clubbing at age 62 after my joblessness
Not onions-onion peel extract-but nobody eats onion peels-maybe cooking whole onion with the peel in soup-I do that sometimes.
Help! I've just discovered 85% fat butter. I've been eating 2-3 Tablespoons worth per day for the last 60 days. I can't seem to stop. Butter use to just be bleh and I hardly ever ate it until I stumbled upon this high fat butter!
I love this channel!
💯💯😁😁😁💯🩻🩻🩻🩻🩺🩺🩺🩺 on facts 😮
Thats all we wanted to hear!
Anyone recommend a good Green Tea brand that can be drunk right from the bottle? Thanks in advance.
