I got the most painful headache last week 30 mins after I ate a baguette!
Doing what Dr.Neal advises, became vegan and in a couple of months my A1c from 8.4 came down to 7.0, and I am sure it will become normal in time. We got so many wonderful vegan recipes from YouTube, we will never become bored with WFPB!!!!!
I so appreciate both of you! Thank you!
yes i tell everyone about this podcast
Thank you Dr. Barnard for your kindness in sharing your expertise with humility. You are truly a channel of blessings to us especially those people who need to know about their sickness and diseases. And thank you also to Chuck to have this kind of platform that we always look forward to every topic he has.
This adds a new dimension to the sleep problems of people with Parkinson's. It is recommended that, as, proteins interfere with a common med for Parkinson's they should be consumed in the evening when one is less active. PWP already are at higher risk for insomnia. This is a lose lose situation, less effective meds or less quality of sleep.
I am just starting the video so I don't know what doc Barnard is gonna say but when I went vegan, my sleep became sooooo restful. I wake up walking on sunshine everyday. This is the best part of me plant based 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you to the lovely people at the Gregory J Reiter's Fund, what a wonderful legacy to help humankind.
Brilliant advice from Dr Barnard, thank you (and Chuck!). Brilliant viewer's questions too. I've just ordered all Dr Barnard's books, so grateful there are selfless professionals like him sharing their expertise to benefit humankind.
I’m suffering from migraines. It’s hard to explain people who don’t deal with migraines what I feel. They consider migraine as usual headache. But it’s the most terrible feeling I’ve ever had. Even if you know what to expect you can’t be prepared!
Can nuts increase viscosity of blood?
Thanks Chuck and Dr Barnard for all the info you give.
As far as sleep goes all I know is last night I had a bad dream I was a muffler and woke up exhausted. When I got up I got a craving for nuts, so I spent the day with my folks.
I am 44 y.o. and have hypertension and now I am transitioning to WFPBD (started on September, 2021). I monitor my BP early in the morning and at night time. The RESULT: my bloodpressure is already normal now! My doctor already reduced my hypertension medicine! Thanks to Dr. Barbard and the Physicians Committee!
For Sheree (headaches): I was in a low-fat, plant-based online cooking course group a few years ago. Many people seemed to have headaches when transitioning to a no-oil, whole-food plant-based diet, including me. I can speculate about why this might be (from my own experience, not hard data). I don't know if you are a habitual headache/migraine sufferer like I am but migraine sufferers tend to get an attack when they haven't eaten, or haven't eaten enough food. WFPBNO food is naturally lower in calories. I think the body perceives it as 'not enough food' at first, even if the fibre fills you up. I suspect that calorie deficit might be one reason why this way of eating kicks off a headache in the beginning. Secondly, if you drink caffeine regularly, both drinking it and not drinking it, or drinking less of it, can set you up for all sorts of headaches. Getting rid of it completely (but very gradually, so as not to kick off a withdrawal headache) can help a lot with all kinds of headaches and migraine. Thirdly, it could be some kind of detox, although I know that is a very vague term. Dr Joel Fuhrman has an interesting take on false hunger vs real hunger and the question of headaches, detox, etc. comes into it. It's either in 'Fast Food Genocide' or 'The End of Dieting'. Both books should be available through your local library or bookshop. I hope you feel better soon.
I love the professionalism and academic rigor that we always get from The Physicians'Committee. Thank you for all the great work you do for so many! 🙏🏼
Does the vitamin D degrade when you cook mushrooms?
Lol. I always miss the live stream. Any help diet wise with eyes looking dark and puffy even though someone is sleeping fairly well?
I have switched to plant based diet for about 3 months now but why my blood pressure is not improving…always on the base line of 140ish/85'ish. Is there a particular choice of the plant base diet I should follow? Likewise, why I have not lost any weight?
yes i even told my doctor of this, Love you all
thank you Doctor on mentioning the tempe or tofu, i have not done this, i feel mixed up now on how to eat, gone plant base some time back, , watching videos all of the time
I told my dad about Dr Barnard this summer and he’s been eating so well (almost vegan) ever since – lots of greens, beans, fresh fruit. He eliminated butter, meats, yet still uses dairy in his coffee.
He just came back from seeing his doctor and his A1C levels are totally normal!!! I cannot thank you enjoy❤️
People are beating each other up about wether or not to get vaccinated against Covid and you blather about sleep it will take a lot more than food for me to have a good night ever again !!
As a late onset type 2 diabetic who has controlled /reversed this by moderately low carbohydrate diet/exercise, I sleep terribly. I wake 3am, have hot flashes, am tired but can’t get back to sleep. What do you suggest to eat to help this??? I can have a smaller portion of steel cut oats made with almond milk, cinnamon, Chia, ground flax seeds, and topped with pumpkin seeds for the magnesium (I get occasional bouts of AFIB) and a few berries or little chopped apple and it doesn’t impact my BG at breakfast. Should I have high protein at breakfast, chicken or fish with lots of veg at lunch and then try the porridge at dinner to help me sleep (checking my BG on waking?) I would appreciate any advice you could give me (I can only have goats milk in decaf coffee as I’m sensitive to the lactose in cows milk- don’t like almond milk in coffee but ok in other things).
I’m transitioning into vegan foods and believe me I never felt better! My kids are excited too. We love you Dr Neal! You completely changed our lives!
Thanks, Dr. Barnard
Now I know why I feel sleepy after eating oatmeal at breakfast that is why I prefer to eat this for dinner.
Any foods that prevent RLS? Thanks.
What types of food do I eat if I want to maintain my weight?
Will Dr. Barnard accept Lustig's challenge to a debate?
Dr. Barnard all the way!!
Carbohydrates, the fear of many, are the best tool for deep and restful sleep.
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
