    Doctor reveals: 7 Nutrition Facts I wish I knew earlier

    Nutrition Facts I wish I knew earlier. What are some of the nutrition facts you wish you learned years ago? Let's look at my top 7 nutrition facts, their relevance and what they reveal about food and health.Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uWhat are the top nutrition facts you wish you knew long ago? Let’s look at my top 7. top nutrition facts #7Being willing to make mistakes. Trying new things in the kitchenSo true. some of my favorites I found by trying out crazy new stuff. I was always very open to making mistakes in the kitchen. Top nutrition facts #6It’s a marathon not a sprint. No fad diets, just learning to build one’s healthSo many times we want to be perfect so we never get started. Gradually building toward a healthy dietary pattern without hacks or shortcuts. It’s a fact of life and it’s a great nutrition fact as wellTop nutrition facts #5eating healthy is not the same as eating less calories. we’re fixated on weight loss and being lean. we can be lean and unhealthywhen I focused on health-promoting foods the calorie issue solved itselfTop nutrition facts #4protein is not only in ‘protein foods’we’ve been fed all these myths growing upwe can get protein from animals or plants, same for calcium and iron we can get plenty of calcium from dairy but no one told us about the #1 source (greens). Top nutrition facts #3there is no one ‘magic’ diet. Every diet guru is based on "My diet is the one true diet". It’s very appealing. A new shiny diet that delivers weight loss without effortVegan, mediterranean, paleo, low carb, low fat can all be done in a healthy wayfocus on healthy foods not diet warsTop nutrition facts #2I wish I knew not to look at nutrients in isolationSo powerful. A lot of the debate around nutrition is about single nutrientsIt’s even in the name, nutrition is about nutrients!!this microfocus confuses people and distracts from the real issue (overall health impact of a food)And I would go even one step further, beyond the food and looking at the entire dietary patternAnd Top nutrition facts #1personal preferences matter and the best diet is the one that’s healthy enough and you can stick with and enjoy long-termMost disagreements around nutrition focus on ‘what’s the best diet’. But the best diet is the one that gives you long-term healthSo use the science to point you in the right direction but how far you go and how fast you get there has to personalized because it has to work for you If you want more info here’s another video where I tackled a lot of other nutrition factsConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

    Intermittent Fasting vs Time Restricted Feeding | Health Benefits

    Intermittent Fasting vs Time Restricted Feeding. What are the health benefits of Intermittent Fasting and Time Restricted Feeding? Does meal timing impact our health? An objective look at the research on health benefits of Time Restricted feeding and how it compares with Intermittent Fasting in general.Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Time restricted feeding is a type of intermittent fasting where you eat within a time window. The most popular is 16:8.Last time we looked at the benefits of fasting for 24h or more (alternate day fasting and 5:2 where people fast 2 days a week).Benefits of intermittent fasting include weight loss and many metabolic benefits that come with it. Human trials comparing fasting to other methods of calorie control by and large show a tie. Time restricted feeding has unique benefits not explained just by calories. When people restrict their eating window they tend to eat less overall and lose weight. Are those benefits unique?People eating the same calories at different times show different benefits. Early eaters have several metabolic benefits: lower insulin, blood pressure and less oxidative stress.So this is different from 24h fasting, where the benefits track with calories.How are the benefits of fasting for 24h are all about the calories, but fasting for 16h gives us benefits beyond calories? Fasting may not be the key factor Early time restricted feeding: circadian rhythm determines health benefits of meal times.Summary of intermittent fasting and time restricted feeding: fasting can help lose weight, with the metabolic benefits that come with it. Does it provide benefits beyond the calories? Maybe not the fasting per se, but meal timing seems to. Shifting most of our intake earlier in the day, maybe having a light dinner or an early dinner seems to provide extra benefits beyond the calories, at least for some of us.References:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26384657/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29778565/https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/9C604826401917A6CAD9CD10B72FEA32/S2048679018000137a.pdf/pilot_feasibility_study_exploring_the_effects_of_a_moderate_timerestricted_feeding_intervention_on_energy_intake_adiposity_and_metabolic_physiology_in_freeliving_human_subjects.pdfhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413118302535https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.20460https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/6/1234https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC389363/Stock Images/video: https://pixabay.com/users/doodlartdotcom-10326932https://www.pexels.com/@cottonbrohttps://pixabay.com/users/rkarkowski-289667Disclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.
