Aging Better With a Plant-Based Diet

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen] Aging Better With a Plant-Based Diet By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs In 2023, only 4% of Americans said they were vegetarian. But 42% of adults say that they want to adopt a more plant-based diet that focuses on getting the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables (that's five to seven) and reduces their dependency on meat by consuming fish such as salmon for animal-sourced proteins. That's good news because everyone benefits from a plant-based diet's ability to reduce chronic inflammation and the intake of saturated fat (if you avoid overprocessed, fatty, and fried plant-based foods). Special: [The #1 Exercise That Accelerates Aging – Stop Doing It]( A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that looked at decades of data on more than 48,000 women revealed another advantage. Women who get most of their protein from a plant-based diet increased their chances of aging healthfully — physically, cognitively and emotionally — by a whopping 46%. What provides plant-based protein? One cup of cooked beans, lentils, or peas delivers around 15 grams of protein. Three ounces of salmon contains 21 grams of protein; an ounce of nuts has 7 grams. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, you can consume 100 grams (400 calories) of protein, according to the National Library of Medicine. But as you get older, you may need more to counter muscle loss and cognitive decline. According to a study in the journal Aging Research Reviews, "a protein intake higher than the RDA is ... associated with better physical performance and greater muscle strength in older adults." --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL The Dangers of Eating Spinach Spinach is often promoted as a healthy green, but contains FAR more downsides than good sides... Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods that's commonly eaten by modern humans (in addition to beet greens, beets, almonds, and other veggies and nuts). The amount of oxalates in a serving of spinach is extremely high, up to 600 mg in a normal sized bowl. The "safe" amount of oxalates in a daily diet according to world renowned oxalate expert Sally Norton should be between 100-200 mg per day total to avoid a lot of the health problems caused by high oxalate plants. So you can see how concerning spinach is with these extremely high oxalate levels. The problem with eating too much oxalates too frequently is that it can cause serious issues such as kidney stones, thyroid problems, gut damage, skin issues, and joint pain. In fact, some people have even gotten "oxalate poisoning" by drinking green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure. In addition, the nutrients in spinach such as calcium and iron are very poorly absorbed by the human body, with a dismal 3-4% bioavailability. Compare that to the very high bioavailability (high absorption) of nutrients like iron and calcium in meat and dairy at 30-40% bioavailability. Overall, we believe that spinach has more cons than pros, and we avoid it. Dozens of our clients and friends have also reported dramatically improved digestion and less joint pain when eliminating leafy greens such as spinach.
