    I am from Turkey
    Raised with Mediterranean diet and raised my son the same way
    We moved to US when he was 3,5 years old and kept cooking at home never introduced processed food or sodas to him as long as I could
    He is 21 years old now and makes his own shopping
    He never even think about buying sodas or bacon or anything processed
    This is the best thing I have ever made for my son 😊

    I grew up in Greece in the 70’s and here’s what we ate (the whole country)
    - light breakfast, slice of bread with butter and jam or honey. Big lunch - main meal of the day - after 2pm (natural intermittent fasting), light supper snack no later than 8pm. Dinner was NEVER a sit down meal more of a snack - fruits veggies nuts, possibly some dairy or yogurt.
    1. Red meat once per week, primarily lamb or pork - not beef. Chicken as a substitute for red meat often.
    2. Fish once or twice per week, small fish, sardines, minnows, calamari, octopus, mullets, sea bass or branzino
    3. Salad with every lunch. There was no lunch without a Greek salad - greens in the winter - tomatoes cucumbers feta onion in the summer (seasonal salads). Salad dressing was strictly Olive oil with red wine vinegar and sea salt plus oregano.
    4. Legumes, beans, lentils and fresh organic veggies every day. Soups like bean soup lentil soup chickpea soup, etc.
    Fried foods like French fries were introduced in the 80’s. Fried was only fried fish like cod, calamari or minnows. Cereal for breakfast was introduced in the 80’s no good.

      Nope. Many animals will eat unhealthy diets if given access to items scarce in their natural environment but essential in small amounts, probably because those with a genetically coded love of the taste would do the work to search the items out. Rats are very, very like us in the love of junkfood, for example.
      A story from zoology: researchers regularly use a spread of local foods to find out what a little-studied animal eats in nature, and use the cardboard box the food was carried in as a control. Quokkas on an island where the growth was high water content preferred the cardboard, though the plants had vital nutrients.

      The problem isn't processed food, it's the ultra-processed foods that are increasingly commonplace in people's diets. Processing food by chopping, blending, or cooking can be very beneficial and aid nutritional uptake, but overprocessing it by extracting ingredients from food, modifying them, then putting them back into food, is what puts stress on the body. Basically, if there is a food you would be unable to make yourself at home with regular ingredients, it's been processed too much.

    • @TXRhody
      @TXRhody Před 7 dny +13

      The term "processed foods" is a very broad category, which ranges from hot dogs to olive oil. Not all processed foods are equal. In fact, not all ultra processed foods are equal. Studies about ultra processed foods are skewed by things like lunch meats, cheese wiz, cookies, crackers, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean things like pea protein and miso are going to kill you.

      @@jvallas A nutritarian diet style can be vegan or non-vegan. This eating style focuses on the nutrient-rich foods that unleash the body’s tremendous ability to heal, achieve optimal weight, and slow the aging process. Eat mostly plants means only eat animal products in small amounts, if any, such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. Whole food describes natural foods that are not heavily processed. Basically, the majority of our diet is made up of fresh and clean produce rather than food that comes out of a package. No S.O.S. (avoid added salt, oil, sugar). When we eat the whole nut over just the processed oil, we are eating the fiber and protective nutrients too!
      G-BOMBS is an acronym for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds. These are the most health-promoting, anti-cancer superfoods on the planet. Make sure that you include some or all of them in your diet every day.
      > Greens: Greater consumption of these vegetables is linked to reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, and a longer life.
      > Beans: Beans and legumes are rich in fiber and resistant starch, which help keep blood glucose, blood pressure and LDL cholesterol down, and nourish the microbiome.
      > Onions: Onions and garlic are linked to a reduction in the risk of several cancers, and their distinctive sulfur-containing phytochemicals have a number of actions that benefit the cardiovascular system.
      > Mushrooms: Mushroom phytochemicals are unique in their promotion of immune system function with powerful anti-cancer benefits.
      > Berries: Berry phytochemicals have anti-cancer and blood pressure-lowering effects, and are linked to a reduced risk of heart attack.
      > Seeds: Eating raw seeds and nuts regularly is associated with longevity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, common cancers, and a healthy body weight.

    The reason whole-fat foods are generally healthier than low-fat or no-fat foods, is the lack of added sugar. Food usually tastes terrible when the fat is removed, so to compensate for that, sugar is typically added. If you eat something with no fat and no sugar, it probably has no flavor. When it comes to fat or sugar, fat is absolutely the lesser evil, so go for full-fat yogurt, instead of the non-fat yogurt that has a teaspoons of sugar added

A vegetarian diet makes me hungry, but I prefer it. I don't eat foreign foods because the smell of their spices offend my sinuses. My body tells me what I can't eat by how it reacts to foods. Maybe just eating what you like in reasonable portions and getting moderate exercise is enough. Somedays that actually satisfies my needs. I don't want to live to be a hundred year old statistic. I just want to feel good. Our bodies didn't come with a manual, so we continue to try to figure out what works for us. I imagine most people struggle with this their whole lives.

    I'm 75 and have been a vegetarian since the age of 18. It forced me to take an interest in nutrition but, as we know, nutritional research changes the results over time. The other factors to take into account are our changing dietary needs at different life stages and activity levels. Beyond that, we have different genetic profiles and what suits one may not suit another. A general rule though is avoid highly processed foods and additives and reduce salt and sugar. Eat organic foods as much as possible and don't eat a heavy meal close to bedtime. Also.......make sure you eat quality oils and that your vit D levels are adequate.

      Lol. If you think that eliminating gluten is going to stop someone from 'experiencing allergies', you've lost the plot. Allergies are IgE mediated (due to the presence of antibodies which cause histamine-releasing cascades when they complement/bind with relevant antigens). No amount or lack of gluten is going to get rid of these antibodies from your body.
      There a plenty of reasons why some people feel better when they stop eating gluten. Placebo is probably number one, but also (as one example) cutting out significant amounts of starch as a secondary consequence probably helps many people stop overeating junk.
      Tying dietary changes to health outcomes definitively is *very* difficult, and 95% of the time people think they've identified some connection from personal experience, it was just coincidental timing (the other 5% are legitimate allergic reactions, not the 'sensitivities' a naturopath 'tests' you for).

      Our taste buds give us positive feedback when we eat salt or sugars, leading us in the modern western world to overindulge in them. Cutting back on them can be done all at once or gradually. The all at once approach means that suddenly foods taste very different and so this approach is hard to sustain. The gradual approach gives our taste buds times to adjust and we get positive feedback that we're making a positive change, so this approach works better.

    Maybe a question that needs to be asked, is who,and what special interest, funded some of these studies.The problem, with the SAD diet( standard American diet) is all the processed food, sugar in many forms,such as high fructose corn syrup, and Industrial seed oils( canola,sunflower, corn,etc) that are highly inflammatory. One of the biggest flawed studies,were carried out by Ansel Keys, who was funded the sugar industry .

    I think his view on saturated fat is based on a long held view started by the sugar industry in the sixties bribing 2 Harvard professors to say that sugar is not unhealthy in any way and to point the finger at fat instead. That kicked off the low fat/no fat movement and the rise of insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes. There’s actually no causal link between saturated fat and heart disease. There are studies that have said that any evidence showing saturated fat causes heart disease is weak at best.

    I don't understand this "planetary health diet." Feeding crops to livestock to make meat, dairy, and eggs has to be a no-no when it comes to sustainability. For instance, creating a calorie of beef requires 25 calories of feed over the life of that cow. Pork and chicken come in at 15 and 9 calories to make one calorie. Fresh water consumption follows a similar pattern. Then there is the methane generation issue. So any diet that avoids meat & dairy has to be better for the planet.

      Dr. Ancel Keys was the one who linked fat with ill health by cherry picking his data. Since then, experts linked dietary fat as the worse thing to eat despite the fact that humans had been eating fat for thousands of years.
      Sugar is linked to the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. And even studies have correlate the rise of sugar consumption over the decades to poor health and obesity, and it sky rocketed after the invention of high fructose corn syrup.

    Always had a low resting heart rate. 60's and 50's per minute. Possibly because I was athletic in youth and still work out moderately in my late 60's and also a life-long vegetarian. A few months ago the wife and gave up diary and switched to nearly total plant-based diet. I was a bit overweight and lost 25 lbs so far and my most recent resting heart rate is 47 beats per minute which is top 1% of population. Again, my physical exercise is only moderate. This outcome suggests my circulation system is cleaning out and more working more efficiently then ever before.
    This outcome comports with similar to outcomes reported in recent Stanford Twins Study where sets of identical twins were each fed either plant-based or omnivore diets. Improved cardiovascular effects for the plant-based twin was one of the most prominent findings of the study.
