Like whole plant foods, you manage to package up a tremendous variety of healing information in a single video. Thank you!

Forgot to say 82 and walking 2 miles a day without pain and never on any meds. Lots because of genes, but I’m sure the diet foundations laid long ago.

A friend sent me a link to one of your videos, & I've been watching them ever since & incorporating what I'm learning into my diet & getting rid of what shouldn't be in my diet. For the first time in years at my annual physical my cholesterol tested below 200!! Thank you for your commitment to teaching solid, truthful information about food & health.

I had to listen to this 3 times! Thank you for sharing this most helpful information!! People in my family have leaky gut, IBS, Crohn's, and autoimmune conditions.

I was eating Ezekiel Bread daily. The results were a flat stomach and more energy. Returning to eating it again. Not a vegetarian, so I have eggs and avocado too.

YES!.... over a couple of years try different ways of incorporating Chia seeds but none of them were really consistent and some of them were messy so only recently have just taken to keeping a jar of Chia seeds right out on the counter where i prepare food and two or three times a day will put about a tablespoon of them in a small glass of water, and stir or shake them several times while I am preparing my meal, then when I am ready to eat, drink most of that Chia water down along with a couple supplements and just a little more water, then have the rest of the Chia water during my meal... it's been amazing... the most times in my life when i go to "do my business" as you say, I am dropping a series of the coveted "no-wipe" jewels into the throne, smooth and easy and I laugh every time.... saving on toilet paper, too! ch-ch-ch-chia!..🎹

I have just proven this. My Dr is amazed at how my cholesterol has dropped down to 5.2. It happened quite accidentally by getting into a love of eating 2 apples a day as an after dinner snack.

I cannot get over how helpful and information packed these videos are! THANK YOU!!!! I feel FANTASTIC since I started eating a Whole Food Plant Based diet. Now I'm seeing the details of WHY I feel fantastic eating this way.

Lots of respect for MDs. They've had all that training. Thanks, Doc.

I really learn a lot about health from your videos!

Thank you for all you do to bring us such valuable information!!❤

Wonderful presentation. One of the few channels that don't encourage us to eat too much meat. Well balanced information.

After watching a few of your videos this year, I'm still wondering how the hell you have become so brilliant and can relate to people at their level for nutrition. You might have jus saved my life

Thank you for sharing this information on fiber! Your teachings are so helpful to healthy living.

You are a little miracle, a true blessing ❤🎉🎉❤❤

Thank you for making this easy to understand! Makes good sense, and I feel more motivated to eat whole plant foods, and the variety of them. This is a REAL Public Service you have blessed us watchers with! 💙 🐈 Sincerely, Mary B

What makes apples so healthy for you is the pectin content. Pectin is not a fake food. In fact you can make your own pectin by boiling the peels and cores of apples.

Dear Dr. Liu - Many thanks to you for all the precious information about the ten foods for eating healthy and its result. I heard a lot of positive information about Loma Linda and people are living longer because of their faith and being vegetarian.

Oatmeal: I buy plain oatmeal and add buckwheat to it, before zapping in the microwave for breakfast. I also pick and choose some seeds or nuts and some dried fruit, so there is variety everyday. Cinnamon is also an option. Between the buckwheat, seeds or nuts, and dried fruit, the palate enjoys a variety of textures as well as tastes.

Wow! Thank you for the compliment. I homeschooled all of my kids until middle school, taught science for our homeschooling co-op and was an Awana's Cubbies' Director for several years. My hats off to you as a middle school teacher! I've also chaperoned a few times on middle school field trips.

This was so informative. I need to listen to it over and over and over again. I have sensory problems with some foods like oats. If I bite into a cookie or anything that has oats in it I can't stand it. Are oats still good for you if you grind them down and spread them in meat loaf or on a salad or in a bowl of bran flakes cereal. I am 72 years old and I have not eaten well for most of my life. I am trying to make changes now. Recently I found out that I have a bad liver. It is not from alcohol nor is it a fatty liver. The Doctor really doesn't know what's caused it. They did a Liver biopsy. I had cancer 20 years ago and had extremely heavy chemo. And I am on so much medicine I can't believe it. The chemo damaged my heart. I went over the edge and developed diabetes. I of course have high cholesterol and high triglycerides because of my bad eating habits. I need to find out if my insurance will cover me going to a nutritionist. Because the Doctor just said you need to eat better. Well that's like telling a child with ADHD to go in and clean up their room. They won't be able to do it. They need a detailed explanation as to what to do which is what I need. Are there any books that you can recommend that I can find at the library or possibly purchase that will give me basically the information that you've been saying in this video?

Eat a plant based diet.

I agree; I need to watch it over again. It’s a lot of great information; I’m learning, learning, learning still at 82. We were brought up on a plant based diet and didn’t even realize it. Economics was one of the reasons. We were an Italian family of mom, dad, grandma, 4 kids and 2 cousins living together. Meat was usually twice a week otherwise it was spinach and potatoes; escarole and beans, you get the picture. Whatever was in season that was on the ‘vegetable man’s truck’ that day was usually that night’s dinner. Thank you mom and dad and grandma.

Love this video! I have oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, salad with a bean and/or tofu sandwich layered with crispy raw veggies for lunch, and for dinner normally another salad and a grain or starch bowl that includes rice or potato, a steamed vegetable, legumes and cooked tomato. I have no issues ‘going’ first thing in the morning. Normally just once a day in the morning.

Thank you for the great info. I'm more motivated to increase my daily fiber now. Excellent video!❤

Great info

Dr. Liu always brings new information to subjects I thought were thoroughly covered. She is truly a breath of fresh air. ❤ I had no idea that cholesterol is reabsorbed when people are constipated. I feel better about making that large batch of homemade granola this week. I wanted an easy solution to including whole grains in my diet while traveling. It gives me total control over the sugar content as a bonus.

I really dislike cooked carrots. I prefer organic fresh carrots. It’s more flavoursome.

Great info, as usual! Thank you Dr. Liu! I have gallstones from high cholesterol but I have been able to manage it with a WFPB diet! 💗💗

Congratulations on another so logical, so well-reasoned, so easy to understand educational video. As a retired Neuroradiologist who loves nutrition, health, plant-based lifestyle, I now rank you as my go-to medical authority on food and health. 30-40 minutes is the right length. The other MDs that I follow have 1hr plus videos that are informative but too long for me, let alone the general public. You have the GIFT of being able to simplify and make human physiology easier to understand in order to communicate to your listeners, the reason why they should heed your advice. You are beating all those MDs NYTBS authors that I have been following. Keep up the EXCELLENT work. I also love your healthy plant-based recipes and your dedication, passion to teach the public.🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

This is all fun and dandy, but did you notice how she bussed by the point that if you only eat plant based food you need to supplement with B12 and iron. Well that is just the beginning of problems you'll encounter as a vegan. Like anything else, extreme diets are just that extreme and not good for you. Protein found in meat, fish and eggs are important. More important than what you can get in a man made supplement. As she says nature provides. Your diet should be mostly plant based but also include animal products. Just ask the longest lived populations of Japan and the Mediterranean (or my 101 year old Italian mother who still gardens and eats a balanced diet of vegetables, meat, eggs and fish).
