Here are 10 so-called health foods to avoid to help you lose weight. Number nine is a surprise. Hi, I’m Dr. Shintani, MD and nutritionist trained at Harvard. I’m the author of the Peace Diet: How to Reverse Obesity, Aging, and Disease Naturally. Here are 10 foods thought to be healthy that could cause weight gain. Number one, granola. One cup has 30 grams of fat, 25 g of sugar, and 598 calories, which is more than a Big Mac. Number two, breakfast cereals like Special K and Cheerios actually have a glycemic number higher than table sugar. Number three, milk. Whole milk is 55% fat, mostly saturated, and skim milk is 56% sugar. Number four, yogurt raises insulin levels higher than cookies or cake. Number five, protein bars are typically 4 to 600 calories per 100g g serving of two bars. Number six, veggie chips are 44% fat and the rest is processed carbs. Number seven, whole wheat bread has a glycemic number higher than table sugar. Number eight, diet sodas sucralose and aspartame both promote weight gain in research. Number nine, fruit juice surprisingly spikes sugar like soft drinks. And number 10, peanut butter is 87% fat and has 597 calories per 100 g. So limit these foods to help you lose weight and get a copy of my free ebook, Health Secrets at peaceDiet.org. I’m Dr. Shintani for your health.

This little known super nutrient may help prevent stroke help your brain fight off Alzheimer’s and may even help with long Covid.

This is a little known super nutrient that may help prevent stroke, help your brain fight off Alzheimer’s, and may even help with long COVID. Most people have never heard of it, but researchers are now buzzing about its powerful heart and brain benefits. It’s called nattokinase, a potent enzyme found in fermented soybeans. It helps to improve circulation to the heart and brain by reducing blood pressure and breaking down tiny blood clots. Better circulation leads to lower stroke risk and likely reduces heart attack risk. But that’s not all. New studies suggest that it may help to clear brain plaque linked to Alzheimer’s disease. In vitro studies suggest that it may even break down COVID spike proteins, a possible culprit in long COVID. But human studies need to be done to confirm this effect. Based on early findings, it may turn out to be one of the more promising new supplements, but again, more research needs to be done. It can be found in pill form, but because of its blood thinning effects, always check with your doctor before using it.

8 top foods for blood pressure control naturally. Get my free e-book at www.PeaceDiet.org #drshintani #highbloodpressure #hypertension. #bloodpressurecontrol. #bloodpressurecheck. #nitricoxidefoods. #nitricoxidebts .

Here are eight of my favorite foods to control blood pressure naturally. Number one, beets are the best to start with because they’re widely advertised and they provide nitric oxide that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Number two, arugula actually provides more nitric oxide than beets and other leafy greens are also excellent. Number three, pumpkin seeds and other nuts are high in magnesium which helps to produce nitric oxide. Number four, berries because they have potassium, they act like a beta blocker and uh they have anthocyanins that enhance endothelial function that can relax blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Number five, green tea or hibiscus tea induces a gentle diuresis that helps to keep blood pressure down. Number six, garlic contains allium that helps to control blood pressure by enhancing nitric oxide release. Number seven, basil helps to control blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin 2, a natural hormone that raises blood pressure. And number eight, dark chocolates. Studies show that dark chocolate with over 50% cacao helps to lower blood pressure. To get a list of more nitric oxide or magnesium foods, get my free ebook, Health Secrets, at peaceDiet.org.

Simple carb that helps you control blood sugar. www.PeaceDiet.org. #drshintani #shintani #bloodsugarcontrol. #diabetescontrol. #simplecarbs. #complexcarbs. #reversediabetes. #reversediabetestype2. ##reverset2d ##reversediabetesnaturally

Here’s a simple carb that helps you control blood sugar. Let me clear up a misconception that the best carbs are always complex carbs and that simple carbs are always bad for you. For a longer explanation of this, get my free ebook “health secrets” at peacediet.org. Simple carbs are sugars such as sucrose or table sugar and fructose made up of one or two sugar molecules. A complex carb is a starch such as potatoes or bread made up of long chains of dozens to hundreds of sugar molecules. White bread is a complex carb mostly starch with a glycemic index number of 100. An apple is almost all simple carbs fructose. Its glycemic number is just 51. In this case the simple carb in the form of a whole apple is better than the complex carb. What makes this complex carb unhealthy is that it’s a processed carb and turned into fine particles of white flour which causes it to be absorbed quickly and raise blood sugar. Whereas the apple is intact and the fiber in the apple slows the absorption for a lower glycemic response. So to help control blood sugar, consider eating more whole carbs such as apples and get my free ebook health secrets at peacediet.org. I’m Dr. Shentani for your health.

When simple carbs are better than complex carbs. Free ebook at PeaceDiet.org. #drshintani #carbohydrates. #simplecarbs. #complexcarbs. #reversediabetes. #prediabetes. #starches. #glycemicindex. #bloodsugarcontrol.#greenscreen

When are simple carbs better than complex carbs.I see a lot of confusion when people talk about simple and complex carbs. I often see people saying you should eat your complex carbs and avoid simple carbs. The reality is that this is not always good advice, the term simple carb refers to a one or two molecules of sugar, such as fructose and table sugar. A complex carb is a starch made up of a long chain of hundreds or even thousands of sugar molecules. So when is a simple carb better than a complex carb? when you compare an unprocessed simple carb to a highly processed complex carb such as the comparison of a whole Apple to white bread. The Apple which is mostly simple carbs has a glycemic number of 51, the white bread which is complex carb has a glycemic number of 100. This is because when the simple carb is whole and intact like an apple, there’s fiber and other nutrients to slow down its absorption. By contrast the white bread is made up of finely processed flour which is digested quickly driving up the blood sugar. So when choosing carbs, choose whole unprocessed carbs regardless of whether they’re simple or complex.
