During the pandemic our hospital gave us lunch which was usually a sandwich chocolate and crisps. My Portuguese colleagues were appalled, as they said why is a health centre giving us stuff that’s unhealthy. My Portuguese colleagues eat well , none obese, none restrict themselves, all natural. I think it points to the answer of the French condundrum.
Processed foods should be forced to have photos of diseased body parts and corpses like cigarette packs
I totally agree. Same for animal products
My grandfather lived yo 93 years old. Growing up we ate grits, eggs, bacon and biscuits for breakfast. Supper was a pot of beans, corn bread and meat if we were lucky to have. He drank whiskey almost everyday. Occationally something sweet like cake or pie. Vegtables like greens on a daily basis also.
ya... but then the soil was not dried out of nutrients. at least the I read the USA soil is depleted of nutrients. I dont know about pesticides and chemicals being used less or more back in the days. But even tea if its not organic, its poisened. And its not only food that makes you live long, its also socialize, sunshine, being busy, having purpose in life
It's just genetics. Has very little to do with diet unless one plows soda pop everyday.
That diet soda is a killer.Your better off drinking regular soda.@@prun8893
Since the dawn of time we have always eaten whole foods. But here comes the food industry poisining us.
More profit made on medications than good quality food.
I have been travelling to USA since 1987 , from Pakistan 🇵🇰, have noticed some difference in the food we get in my country, what I found odd to start with was the size of vegetables, no seeds in fruits, they look great but have very little taste, and after a full meal, one gets hungry soon , the huge size of chicken maybe because they are fed hormones, same with cows , here this hormone feeding has also started mainly in chicken and I have observed that those people who consume more chicken are putting on weight very fast . The vegetables are much less tampered with and also fruits. They taste much better, these are full of seeds and go bad much sooner than the ones in America and UK. Many people here have 2 meals, like me and don't snack in between and don't feel hungry till dinner. Those living in villages have almost nothing from bakery or other junk food and are healthier . Mostly our meals are home cooked. But as we are trying to follow the western style of growing our crops and poultry and dairy products, the health of the people is being affected. I wish we would leave nature alone , the produce may fall , but whatever is produced is much more nurturing and healthy. What's your opinion ?
I agree. Great point. We don't foood here any more, we eat substances.
Youre 100% right
I'm in rural Iowa. I went to a big party style dinner just yesterday. There was at least 15 different main different types of food. I sat and observed the kids eating. EVERYONE of them ate STRICTLY the desserts of near Pure sugar. Their parents did absolutely Nothing to encourage them to eat real food. They just ignored it. Absolute stupidly
Diet drinks are much sweeter in taste than normal sugar. When we’re used to sweeteners and we eat something normal our tastebuds tell us they want more sweet. STOP ADDING SUGAR
Our Portuguese cuisine is one of the best in the world. Delicious, healthy and creative. So lucky and grateful for living in this country. Thank you for such a useful and insightful interview 🙏
Yes, but you are poor
@@friendlyfire4178 what a crap comment honestly, you consciously chose to write that which says a lot about you and nothing about the person you replied to.
Bom dia. Estou morando em Portugal no Algarve, cozinha fantástica. simples e bem equilibrado
I lived in Portugal for 13 years. Had to go back to the UK for surgery. Have been ill ever since due to easy access to multi processed food. Can't wait to leave
@@friendlyfire4178 what do you mean poor?
Not quite 100 years ago. In the 60's seasonal apples, seasonal strawberries and don't get me started on sweet cherry tomatoes from the garden, were fabulously tasty. For what it's worth, interestingly and in line with Portugal, if you go to a local small grocers in a Spanish village today, I personally find the fruit and veg that I remember as a child.
It was the same in Crete. We had lovely tomatoes and cucumbers but after the EU rules and regulations now difficult to find.
I decided some time ago to give up all sweet stuff,sugar or otherwise. I think it’s the best thing I have ever done. Now? I can’t stand anything sweet. Give me cheesy or spicy things all the time
Wise advice. Thank you for simple plain chat about a topic that affects everyone.
I hope kids in school and college are being shown this in their phys Ed or cookery/food/nutrition lessons (whatever they’re called today).
Thank You Dr Tim.
Great information thank you.
Great stuff. Reminded me of the green gooseberry and plums I used to eat as a child.
I've been alarmed recently by the appearance of sugary sweet NEW varieties of grapes in our supermarkets. Grapes that taste of candyfloss! Tomatoes called Sugar Drops and Honey Dew :( it's so wrong :(
This!!
I agree 💯. In Italy too kids eat a lot of sugars. I see every day parents go in bars and give their children cakes and juices for breakfast.
I want to add that despite many people believe that children love sweets, it's depends what mother eat, next what kind of food parents give child. For example, my son loved celery & apple mostly.
You are very lucky
@@Isaac5123 :) I gave fruits and veggies, so natural taste "did the work".
@@malunachow well done
You’re so right! My parents were extremely healthy, lived off fish & fresh veggies, nuts & avocados…I was fed only these foods & love them! Never ate processed garbage & at 44 years old, I still feel 18!
@@mandyb2000 I happy with you! 👍🫶
Thank you, we stay well clear of the process foods. I have brought most of our weekly food from a farmer's market. We grow a small amount of fruit. I recently did a food tolerance test, was shocked to find out something's I have been eating are best left. What a change this has made.
I also had a food tolerance test. Its really good. I was shocked also
After decades of gulping down litres of sugary Cola on a daily (!) basis, it has taken so much will power for me to stopp drinking that stuff. I am finally at the point where I prefer water - sparkling I have to admitt, but water. If I want to be fancy, I flavour the tap water (which I had tested - its fine) w/ cucumber slices and lime wedges. Works well for me.
Tap water is not fine. Fluoride for one..
@@Lonewolf__666 Where do you live? The US, I recon. 🤔
@@MsSneaky0815 the UK 🇬🇧
@@Lonewolf__666 Well, I live in Germany. No added flouride!
@@MsSneaky0815 up the Germans, I’m quarter German.
It comes down to a culture change. Our lives are too busy. We work long hours with no time to cook Society needs to slow down and enjoy cooking with fresh produce that’s also low cost because fresh food is more expensive than cheap food at the moment. 😞
100% a four day work week would solve a lot of this. Give people the time to cook!
We all have time to cook come on. It's just you don't know how to because of a poor culture I'm afraid.
I find time everyday to cook. It's your attitude I'm afraid that says it all. You need to learn
Its great advice and all very well for people with a decent income to be able to make these choices. The reality is whole foods/organic food etc is more expensive than the high processed food and if you don't have much money people will tend to go for those less healthy foods. I am slowly moving away from high processed food as much as possible, it's hard work!
Sometimes (not always) it's a matter of priorities. I notice quite a few people spending a bundle on cars, tattoos, piercings, high-end coffee, booze, entertainment, tech gizmos, lottery tickets (a tax on the stupid) and then moaning about the cost of decent food. Even if you don't waste your money on unnecessary stuff, maybe think about getting together with other people to take advantage of bulk shopping for grains, pulses, etc. And ultra-processed food isn't always cheaper. Dried beans, lentils, etc. and root veg are reasonably cheap and delicious if you know how to cook.
this is it. I know so many people who claim to have no money, always be skint yet they have plenty of money for cigarettes, going to the pub every day etc etc as you mention. Convenience is also a huge factor, many people simply won't cook anything from scratch or go further than a microwave or take out.@@sarahsnowe
My sister provided respite care for kids. Her own 4 drank water not juice or fizzy sweet drinks or iced coffee . The respite kids said water made them feel sick tasted bad etc. The water was rainwater not chlorinated or metallic and eventually they got used to it .
As a kid our water was often bad in summer and we were allowed to add cordial . There were tricks you could use like letting a jug of tapwater stand for an hour so the silt settled on the bottom! As i got older i drank a lot of tea. But the best thing was moving out of the outback to places with rainwater tanks and good tap water.
Cheap carbonated drinks are sold in huge quantities to poor people . When i shifted from poor schools to schools in higher socio economic suburbs the kids were slimmer and carried water bottles. The idea that its choice is questionable.
Regarding the rejection of drinking tapwater: Reminds me of the rejection of proper personal hygiene with water in the late medevil/early modern period.
The pharmaceutical industry needs to be destroyed. At least most of it is one of the biggest evils on the earth money has created.
FDA too as they are work for them and not the american people.
Don't eat this! Don't eat that!
You can eat nothing anymore....
Gary Lineker sure knows a lot about a lot.
Health videos like this could cost the food industry and pharmaceutical companies million of job losses and dollars.
Maybe they could work on veg/fruit farms or places that grow organic food?
I love filtered water with slice lemon
I knew there was something wrong with the grapes I've been getting lately. They're just too sweet, and I find myself gravitating towards the red ones. They at least have some sour left. Also, increasingly in the U.S., markets seem to be carrying less and less real food; fewer options for greens, for example. It's frustrating.
Eat what comes from the ground 🍎🍉🍅🍆🍠🌽
Yeah, it's so simple as that...I like your statement a lot....fresh, ripe, fruits and leafy vegetables at most...in their natural state...and some fatty fruits like avocado, various nuts and some seeds...will do the best...I enjoy all that already for twenty years now...I move around a lot... love long distance running, walking, hiking, stand up paddling ...🍒🍐🍎🥭🍍🍌🥝🍓🍊🍉🍇🍅🥑🥕🌽🫑🥦🥒🍋🫐...👌😀. More than enough energy for my outdoor activities... No illnesses or anything like that all these years...like "COVID" or similar...🙃😉😊... make your every day more healthier and be as happy as you can be every day.
...waiting for someone to list the foods we should not eat...
Ummmm processed foods…..eat as close to nature as possible
@@mel_mckinnon Yes, and the other foods from the list?
Oatmeal and wheat and seed oil is a good start. And fructose syrup. And trans fats.
@@prun8893oats!?
@@prun8893no steel cut oats???
The thing that worry me even more Is: what happen when you cook these sweeteners? Many reactions happens with sugar, like Maillard reactions, when you heat It up with other ingredients.
"That could almost cut through all the dietary tribal wars . . . . Is it carbs v. fat v. protein that's the issue, or actually is it simply that the food you are eating, let's make it minimally processed . . . ?" Bingo. Truly, all the people yammering online about their veganism or carnivorism blah blah should just shut up and cook simple ingredients from scratch, like we used to do when most people weren't fat and in metabolic distress.
Thanks for this. The sugar info was awesome 😎 I’m getting off the sugar and stevia train.
The best way to drink tap water is to get a Brita filter jug of water and keep it in the fridge. It tastes much better than tap water once it's been filtered. I can see why people don't like tap water. The quality of water pipes is highly variable and questionable.
You only have to see brown water from your pipes one time during a rain storm 30 yrs ago.And now the water leaves a grey residue in the sink.Never drinking tap water ever again .
Some say eat butter which is healthy others say butter is not good....what is the correct one...everyhwere it is confusing...who can guide us correctly
If you take the example of the USA and UK versus Portugal, there is an obvious correlation - Portugal is not an industrialised country.
I do not think that is the point, I think it is culture and lifestyle. People in South Europe care about their health and body, it is part of lifestyle and historically, we eat every fish we have in our coast line.
All South European countries are industrialized.
What Tim states about the food industry bigs refusing to fund proper research is the exact reason I chose not to pursue my lifelong goal of being a scientist...since those massively corrupt entities are who writes the paychecks (either directly or indirectly) for scientists and who chooses precisely which types of studies are allowed to be performed!!! It's repugnant.
Sounds like a poor rationalization. I know many scientist who don't get paid by big food or big pharma.
Yes but fruit in American stores have no flavor
💎
I have just watched 5 different videos about frying oils . Some body is lying as they can't all be correct ! Butter is good in one and damaging in another . Canola oil [rapeseed oil ] is totally confusing , one says it's the healthiest and others says it's poisoness !
Because nobody really knows and there's probably variation by person. Use the one you like most that doesn't make you feel gross and use as little as possible, you'll be fine. 😊
The only good fats are real true extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or coconut oil. All others are poisons to the body. Been studying this stuff for over 15 years.
Probably best to avoid chemicals and stick with animal products. I categorize seed oils as chemicals and butter as animal but that's just how I see things.
Stop making the food INDUSTRY rich ❤
Soft drinks, french fries, cakes, cookies, pies, donuts....
Getting fluoride out of our water would be a good start, don’t ad what’s not needed to keep it healthy.
Imagine if you actually cared about sharing information. Less clickbaity titles, actual timestamps for videos.
UK life expectancy - 80.9
Portugal life expectancy - 80.98
So where is the gain? Better quality of life in later years?
The psychological effect of sweeteners needs to be considered too. There is definitely a mentality that says well I've had the diet drink I'm gonna have that bar of chocolate now. People kid themselves all the time, just look at My 600lb Life!
We are proud of Indian food habbits our mother, wife cook home made fresh foods including bread is home made however for young generation is influenced Americans jung food unfortunately like KFC, Mcdonald pizza hut...so many.
All fast ready-made food is produced with low priced raw material packed in attractive packaging.
I eat chicken 🍗
Cooking is cheaper than bying. So you don ´t have to be rich, you have to have knowledge
You do need time though. I'm very lucky, I work from home and can cook during my workday, but if I had to be in an office 5 days a week and had kids...
@@davidb9806 For me the best investment ever was the slow cooker
The problem always comes back to the industry of making money.
What about Oxalates in many plant-based foods?
Avoiding them isn't recommended for most people, unless you have specific health problems like recurring kidney stones in which case best to take the advice of your medical professional. Cooking removes almost all the oxalates if that's something you're mildly concerned about.
Only green leafy vegetables contain higher amounts of oxalates. You can be plant based without eating a kilo of raw spinach every day... Vegans do not eat only lettuce and kale and spinach.. eat beans, tofu, lentils, cabbage, tomatoes, chickpeas, potatoes, zucchini, onions...and you have nothing to worry about
Don't eat Spinach. Very high in oxalates.
@Alice_Walker how do you think people get kidney stones in the first place ? Clearly from high oxilate foods so your argument is pointless.
Plants contain heavy amounts of defense chemicals not just oxilates so I'd rather eat my steak and eggs for bio available nutrition!
Sugar does a lot more harm to your body than just your teeth?
Yes but that was not the point being made.
One of the worst things to eat is spam. We don't too much of it here in the USA, But a lot of people in Briton or United Kindem eat spam. They have a lot of different ways to cook it.
Koreans eat it the most.
Hi, I'm from the UK.
Don't know anyone who eats Spam or would know what it was!
I remember eating it 50 years ago, but even then, not widely eaten
@@sianfrance7597 Thank you for letting me know. It is basically fat mixed with fat
I’m from the UK, also don’t know anyone who eats SPAM. Think that was in the War?
@@m1m5yp28 You are probably right. I think it was in the war.
an element in the room leaves no room for the elephant
Why Clickbait I was going to be informational regardless! Not cool man
Meat. Red meat. Grass fed red meat. And have a fruit every few days. Fish is OK, too. And only drink water. No grain-no vegetables.....those aren't food for homo sapiens. That's the answer.
I just had a triple Wendy burger while road trip. 55g protein, dinner done.
What is that noise? It sounds like someone struggling to breathe. You need better mics
I found out that basicly processed food is bad the more natural food u eat the better.
And during the advert breaks fir this video we are invited to eat ... junk foods !! ... e.g., Crisps and processed cheese!!
Near anything highly concentrated is likely not good for you.
Don't apologise for thinking not being able to drink water is somehow understandable. It isn't.
Stevia is a natural contraceptive. Its not that good
Every thing seems to be ultra process, even sliced wholemeal bread and baked beans....you can drink just water if you like, but I'm here to live, not just live longer !
Here to live? What do you mean
They aren’t losing weight because they are more than likely eating more food because they like most people underestimate how much they’re eating.
This happens all the time with people exercising and dieting. They over estimate how many calories get burned through exercise and under estimate how many calories they consume. If that study just took people’s word that is a problem. Geez guys come on you should know better than this.
They?
How do you know they underestimate their calorie intake? It’s such a lazy assumption normally from poorly qualified personal trainers who think a calorie deficit is the key to everything.
Bollox
If this guy says red meat I'm outy
Throwing all these stupid statistics
0:57 ok that’s a lie. The US isn’t even in the top 10 fattest countries in the world. It’s currently number 15.
Who the hell eats ready meals 😂😂😂
It's 2023.
Are you going to pay for me to eat well ? I sure can't....
Rubbish
Your title doesn’t match your content.
For JUST lossing weight, it’s calories in , calories out.. but for Health it’s definitely the Quality of food. But that should be logical to everyone. So if all you give a shit about is lossing weight eat one Mars bar a day and you will lose weight. SUGAR doesn’t make you fat, excess calories do.
No, it isn’t calories in calories out. That is a myth. Not all calories are equal. He refers to this in one of his many interviews.
So much crap spoken about food. A balanced diet with everything in moderation.
this seems to be a very silly, obvious and inarticulate discussion. learn nothing here. and the guy on the right definately takes up too much of the talking time, too bad.
Thank You Dr Tim.
