Just remember that anyone who eats cups a day (as they should!) of dark green leafy vegetables should probably stick to low-oxalate greens (i.e. basically any greens other than spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens) to avoid the risk of kidney stones. I’ve got videos coming up on that as well as what happens when you pressure cook greens (I’m looking at you Instant Pot). Stay tuned!
My son is 16 years old. And he was observed for 9 years at the endocrinologist, he drank hormones for the thyroid gland for 9 years. My son after a video of Neil Barnard and Michael Gregor became a vegan. And after 6 months, the endocrinologist told him that he may no longer come to the endocrinologist. Thank you so much for the health of my son!
Best comment ever! I'm very happy for your son. Make sure he takes a B12--2500 mcg per week of cyanocobalamin. That's Dr. Greger's recommendation. Dr. Klaper and Dr. McDougall recommend methylcobalamin, so I alternate and take both. That way, regardless of who is right, I'm covered either way. If your son enjoys reading on this topic, Diet For A New America and The Food Revolution by John Robbins are excellent books.
Zorro Zero Thanks. my son is drinking D3 2500 and also vegan omega 3 (DHA & EPA). And also we eat every day different nuts and seeds of flax or chia or hemp seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. We eat every product as Gregor recommends. Everyone has the flu, and we are not sick. After a serious accident, I often had a headache and especially before rain and snow. On vegan nutrition this problem is not. Women's cycle has become a regular. The skin is gorgeous, the heels on the legs are like that of a child, I have ceased to be irritable and tired. My son has always been tired due to thyroid problems. now he has a lot of energy and has a feeling of lightness.
Yes that was my thought, was the measurement in boiled items after being extracted from the "juice" ? I often boil mine in turkey bone broth, and savor everything.
Alright - keep a bag of shredded frozen kale in the freezer for cooking with, and some fresh and ready to be sliced up for a red cabbage and kale salad with cashew dressing. I try to eat that salad every day and when I'm eating out or travelling I honestly miss it.
Thank you so much Dr. Gregor. This is such an awesome video. I love greens! I am going to need to tell my clients about this and put a video on my CZcams channel about this! Your videos are so amazing. I'd love to be able to share good information with people the way that you do. Thank you for such a good video again!
Thank you so much , listening to YOU helps me sooo much! You help me keep on the right track, I’m a grandmother I’m hoping my grandson love me as much as you love your grandmother
Cruciferocious! 😃 Sounds like kale is King. Yet rarely known greens like Moringa & Chaya get left on the sidelines while proving to be more beneficial than most mainstream greens, and easier to grow! 🌱🌳
@@trivediJ I am growing it in my yard in Florida. It's about 25-30’ tall and the hummingbirds love the flowers. There are plenty of other people growing it in the area also. So it is available in the US! ☺️
@@trivediJ I see it fresh in our local Indian grocery/produce store as well as many other hard-to-find healthy produce like Neem, Ube yam, Lychee, and white turmeric.
I eat ~5-6 c greens daily and always eat broccoli/cauliflower leaves and stalks (just lightly peel). So many plant based recipe videos incl peeling skins off veggies (and fruit) and removing leaves and they’re often just as or more nutritious. Also add raw cruciferous/mustard seed (1/2 tsp) to incr sulforaphane (thx Dr G). Per Dr Esselstyn add vinegar to cooked greens to incr nitric oxide absorption. 👏🙏🌱
Well great! I have frozen kale that I cleaned and froze myself so I can throw it in a soup when I’m ready for it. So I guess I’m good with my frozen and boiled kale! Kale in soup is divine... Of course, lots of other veggies too. The consensus to me is eat as many raw as possible but also it’s OK to eat them in other stages. Not a fan of the microwave, though.
Thank you very much Dr. Greger! Thanks to Neil Barnard and you, I became a vegan. I had endometriosis, psoriasis, pancreatitis, frequent head bolts after a severe car accident, frequent colds. After 2-3 months on vegan nutrition, I forgot to put off the sores. Thank you for including Russian subtitles. I do not speak English. To all known vegans of Russia, I gave references that you have Russian subtitles. Because in Russia, a few vegans collect money and pay translators to translate your videos. In Russia, so life is poor
*Great video!* It stands to reason that boiling and steaming make nutrients more available by making the tissues holding them more digestible. So just measuring the influence on nutrient levels in vegetables pre- vs post-cooking may not be the full picture. A 40% reduction of a nutrient might be more than offset by a 200% increase in its bioavailability.
I've been steaming greens in my "waterless" cookware for years. It's not completely waterless; I put 1/8 of an inch of water in the bottom, but I'm not submerging them in boiling water. I also drink greens blended with fruit in smoothies.
Thanks for sharing this information, but I don't eat cucifious vegetables, only raw spinach in my smoothies or raw in my salads. But love your work Dr you're awesome....❤🤗❤🤗❤
I'm curious to see if "massaged" kale as some people to instead of blanching also increases the antioxidants? And I'd love to know how fermented cabbages fares also (e.g. kimchee)? Oh please someone answer these questions. Thank you Dr. Greger.
Woohoo, more excuse to make & eat my homemade freeze dried kale chips. I’m not a big fan of spinach other than in salad & my miso soup but i LOVE broccoli & kale so much that i decide to grow my own. At harvest i’d pick just the flower along w/ some leaves. The florets i cut up & soak 5 min in salt water to get rid of the bugs while the leaves go straight into my freezer to go into my daily smoothie. These days on lock down i’m not short on veggies to eat & blend. Starting to feel glad to be 1 of those doomsday prepper.
I was allergic to dust, and then cough on nerves. Cough was more than a year. No one could cure. I became a vegan and cough and allergies did not go away after one month. This is a miracle. I have a great sleep, calm nerves, I feel younger
Hello Dr. Greger, Do you think eating dried and ground (powdered) kale has the same or similar health benefits as fresh or frozen kale? So the actual vegetable only, and not any processed variation. If it is a healthy alternative, what doses do you recommend per day (in grams, if possible)? Thanks!
Chewing any food many times allows for optimum nutrient retention, highest antioxidant ingestion and better digestion. but blending does that for you, but you still need to chew the blended smoothie a little bit, so your saliva breaks into the food, and also don't drink gallons of smoothie in one go, a rule is an oz every minute
Isothiocynates in green CRUCIFEROUS vegetables are the most protective compounds in plants against cancer. The ITC’s are not inherently inside the vegetable but formed in the mouth when you chew, and chewed well or blended raw or undercooked. Inside the cell wall of the plant sits an enzyme called Myrosinaise. When you chew or blend the vege, you breakdown the cell walls releasing the Myrosinaise which will then mix with the Glucosinolates in the centre of the cell forming the ITC’s. ITC’s are heat sensitive and over cooking vegetables will destroy these enzymes so they can’t be formed into ITC’s. Once formed heat will not affect the ITC’s. If cooking a soup for example you can blend them into a paste to mix the enzymes and add it to the dish so they can’t be over cooked and destroyed.
Interesting that my doctor for years has been me ,myself and youtube - normal doctors are virtually pointless -ive cured a bunch of stuff on my own just using common sense , the scientific method and great resources like these - thank you for this great resource!
I tried Curly Kale for the first time a few months back and I absolutely hated it, not least of all, because,in spite of following the instructions on the packet, it was unbelievably tough and almost impossible to chew without worrying about damaging my dental work. I am a vegetable lover, in general, but found it inedible. However, I gather that stripping the leaves from the stalks is helpful, in terms of tenderness?
I run a group for those with macular degeneration. I'm looking for a list of each of these leafy greens with an indication of what nutrients are in them such as antioxidants, lutein &zeaxanthin, vitamin A, C, E, etc. Do you know where I can find one?
I got a daily dozen app and I don’t see dandelions anywhere. I am really interested in whether as a green, if I put the leaves in a salad, or if I make dandelion coffee.
Do we know if most/all of the studies threw away or included the cooking water for the boiling method? I think the good Doctor mentioned in a previous video that when you consume the cooking water, it has almost all of the lost nutrients.
Many thanks. A question: Is the loss of antioxidants caused by cooking due to some chemical change, or only due to antioxidents being carried away in the water or steam? What about using these veggies in soups and stews? The greens get cooked, true, but one also consumes the liquid (water or veggie broth) they're cooked in. Any work on that? Thanks!
Just remember that anyone who eats cups a day (as they should!) of dark green leafy vegetables should probably stick to low-oxalate greens (i.e. basically any greens other than spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens) to avoid the risk of kidney stones. I’ve got videos coming up on that as well as what happens when you pressure cook greens (I’m looking at you Instant Pot). Stay tuned!
What happens if we boil and drink the water along with greens, like in Indian curry where they use the boiling liquid for making curries?
His voice entonation makes non English listeners really hard to understand. Why doesn't he speak normal?
@Home Love great idea! Thank you
And if you drink the water that the veggies were steamed/cooked in, how much of the vitamins and minerals you lost, do you recover?
Does that mean daily "cups" of spinach are also bad for uric acid or gout?
Somebody put "Kale Breaks All the Rules" and " Cruciferocious" on t-shirts. 👍
I bet he's gonna say "the best way to cook them is whichever way encourages you to eat the most"!
The real answer, right here.
Love your vids hench :)
True, this video suggests I've been doing it all wrong though. Idk how to steam food.
Kala Namak just microwave veggies, they will steam iN their own water content. Works with any vegetable 👍
U gotta license for that muscle m8?
Thank you for these videos, I am sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we have learned so much from you. Keep up the great work.

I use frozen kale and throw it in my stew once the lentils are boiled through.
All cooking water is consumed and the Heat is rather low.
James Esteron excellent idea thanks
Same!

Very good video! Thanks so much for explaining the best ways to cook greens.
Sauté garlic in vegetable broth,wilt in your greens. Plate with salt pepper and mustard powder. Top with lemon zest
So happy to hear that freezing kale doesn't wipe out any nutrients! I freeze it and make smoothies.

Cook in a covered pot with some water in the bottom. Save the cooking water (and kale stems) and put in the next morning's green smoothie. Easy.
Smart!
"Cook in a covered pot with some water in the bottom." as long as it is stainless steel and not any other material....
Extremely helpful.
Love this channel
"Crucifer-ocious!" Love it! 😁🥗
I grow broccoli at my allotment.The leaves are delicious

@@lukeweaver9287 OK..how do I grow it in GA? Where do i get the plant from? Sorry for stupid questions...
At least Moringa is "not available" as in grocery stores. You have to grow it yourself. right?

Sous vide everything!
Great video Dr! I love your humour, makes the content super entertaining.
Thanks SO much Doc - you are #1.
I feel guilty if I enjoy a meal without leafy greens!
Amazing, thank for this from Chile
Thank you soo much listening to you help me so
"Cruciferocious" LOL
This is my new favorite video.
You are a machine! Thank you
very helpful.
I grow broccoli for the leaves. They are tender, taste like nice broccoli and are wonderful.
micro greens...WTG
“Cruciferocious”!!! Love that!!
Whatever way is most likely to get you to eat them ;)
And steame kale is sooo good too! :D
Cruci-ferocious works. 😂 Thanks Dr. Greger for freely giving such a valuable education. Thank you Sir. 😀

Can you do videos on building muscles on a whole food plant based diet?
😍 Gratidão!
Cruciferosous!!!! I love it! Lol Thanx Dr. G!!!
Just popped my kale into the freezer :D
If we get more antioxidants from kale by disrupting cell walls, then would raw kale in a smoothie be even better than cooking?
Excellent thought, Zachary!
Kale tastes better too after it's been frozen!
I don't remember eating frozen kale. I look forward to trying it. Thanks.
I make pepper fajitas in chard leaves. It’s tricky,but taco’s are anyway. Use retried beans to hold things in

Narrator sounds like the crude, high-strung school principal in Beavis and Butthead 🌋🌋
I'm speechless
Dr. Esselstyn also says we should squeeze some lemon or citrus juice on the greens after cooking to make sure the nutrients get absorbed or something.
How does homemade fermented kale stack up?
My Chinese mother in law always keeps all of the broccoli 🥦 leaves in her broccoli garlic dish, so I started doing the same. 😋
Can you share the recipe?
Thank you!
