Power Foods for the Brain | Neal Barnard | TEDxBismarck

The best line "if we are able to learn what it takes to protect our brain then perhaps families will be able to stay together much longer".

His team sued the government because they weren’t doing their job. Props to this man and his team. Hero of the people right there!!

Wow!! Dr. Barnard is a hero!! He may not have children but through his education he has "fathered" thousands of "children" who will never forget him. His legacy will live forever!! May he, just like Dr. Elmsworth live to be over a hundred and still be working at age 95 and older.

Alzheimer's is absolutely the last thing you'd want. I took care of my mom for the last ten years of her life. She got to the very last stage of Alzheimer's. They even forget how to swallow. If a room was on fire, a severe Alzheimer's victim wouldn't even know to get out. It's a monster of a disease. My dad had it, too. Heartbreaking.

I am from india. Our food was like you describe it. Our snacks were made from jaggery and nuts. And then Pepsi and coke came in, lays chips became common. We forgot yoga. There’s a lot of good practices that should be brought back- which includes what to eat and when to eat.

What a great talk! He makes it very simple, to summarize do these for reducing risk of Alzheimer's and increase well being: 1. Eat colorful fruits and veggies daily: blueberries, grapes, broccoli etc for better memory. 2. Take Vitamin E to eliminate free radicals from brain but not just from pills but from foods like nuts / seeds (just a few), spinach, mangoes etc. 3. Reduce trans-fat from foods like donuts, pastries; and saturated fats like from Bacon, meat, cheese/dairy. 4. Reduce metals like iron, copper. Do not use iron skillets etc. 4. Exercise: nothing crazy, just do brisk walk three times a week, up to 40 minutes each time. Do all of the above and one can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by 80% even if you have the gene.

I’m so glad I found this video while studying for my anatomy class. I’m only 15, and I’m very great full I can get a head start on working on keeping my brain healthy :)

You turned the pain of losing your Dad into a simple, informative, random act of love to help prevent further suffering ❤️ you Dr Barnard, are very cool 😎 thank you

I am an 80 years old vegan man and I am very healthy, these are great info and advice, thank you very much Dr Barnard😊💖👍🙏😍

"When u lose your memory u lose everyone who ever mattered to you" .. That statement is sadly so on point :(

Not only was this some of the best content I’ve ever read on dementia, but he is an outstanding speaker. I cried at the end. I’m so grateful for what he helped accomplish with terminating the food pyramid.

This video needs to be in recommended to everyone.

Very good information, but do NOT underestimate the importance of sleep and stress. Not enough sleep and too much stress literally kills brain cells. And so do diet soda.

"We sued the government" I appreciate this man and his whole team. The government makes too much money off peoples suffering.

Thank you so much for this! I’m 23 and play time is really over when it comes to health. At the end of the day it’s nobody’s responsibility but your own so I’m trying to do better for myself and my babies!

"Genes are not destiny". I think that's a powerful and very courageous message. Thank you for this video it has enriched my knowledge alot more.

I freakin' love this guy. You could feel his emotion when he started to talk about his Dad...

This man and his colleagues advocating for whole plant foods are heroes to me, because following their advice has reversed my heart disease. Proven with ultrasounds of my carotids and aorta, four years apart. It really is do-able.

Yes yes yes!!!! I've been taking plant-based diet for almost a year. And some of my diseases or symptoms are disappearing day by day. 😍🥰🥰

I'm a biochemist and vegan for more than 30 years. I'm grateful for doctors like Dr. Barnard who have been fighting to deliver this information to the public.
