The Healthiest Vegetables For Fighting Disease & Inflammation | Dr. William Li 

Tomatoes, all sorts of Brassica veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbages ), green beans, mushrooms, carrots......... One of my favourites dishes is green beans cooked with tomatoes 🥰

I can’t get enough of you and your knowledge. I’ve been binging your media. In college in the 80s I was premed, (loved organic, biochem and physiology) but was fascinated with what was considered alternative medicine: nutrition, herbal medicine, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. I’ve been on the path for most of my life, my grandfather was an organic farmer. Both my grandparents lived into their mid 90s and were not on any medications! I made a commitment to 100% organic in 1996 when I was pregnant with my first child. Your information is so affirming and inspiring! I eventually settled on critical care nursing and am struggling to help my patients. It’s daunting attempting to provide healthy lifestyle education to people struggling to exist. Your food is medicine is so accessible. Would love to put your videos on the Patient Education channel instead of the antiquated preprogramming we have! Hint hint! Talk about making a difference! Thanks again!

1. Tomatoes. 2. Greens such as brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and vegetables with ITCs. 3. Green Beans. 4. Mushrooms, ue to the beta-glucans. 5. Carrots.

No wonder my Italian grandparents were so healthy and lived until a very old age👍🏻🙏🏻Thankyou for your great info

I always plant lots of tomatoes, I drink 1 cup of fresh tomato juice daily.

I had some cherry tomatoes 🍅 yesterday with salt, balsamic vinegar and good quality extra virgin olive 🫒 oil. And they were so good! 🍅

I really appreciate how in depth you are with each vegetable & all their contributions to human health.

The instant pot is amazing for cooking vegetables. One minute for most vegetables, they’re perfectly tender and I bet they’ve maintained a lot of their nutrition!

I use green beans instead of pasta. Great with spaghetti sauce.

It's wonderful that the producers produce a lot of vegetables for us with a lot of work and skill. We just need to know which ones are good for what .But you're here to tell us the truth.!! Thank you.❤❤

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thanks so much,Dr Lee.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

I gently boil organic veg with tomatoes & crushed fresh ginger. I keep the water & smashed the cooked tomatoes in the water & drink it - delicious. Do wash the veg thoroughly before boil though

Wonderful information that I can use immediately improve my health.

It’s nice to find the list of foods in comments. It’s important too, I believe (or I wouldn’t be here) to understand HOW our foods effect us and the best way to cook them to enjoy their full benefits! Thank you Thankyou for the information you bring to us! ✨💖✨ The extra resource to download is much appreciated too!

Thank you so much

Thank you Dr William li

Thank you❤

I used to eat green beans regularly but I haven't lately. Thanks for the reminder to start eating them again! BTW for Thanksgiving instead of green bean casserole I do fresh green beans. Cook them in boiling water for a few minutes put them in a bowl or on a little platter and squeeze on lemon juice. Delicious and so nice to have something so fresh on your holiday plate. To dress them up can also crumble some feta and add some toasted slivered almonds. Yum!

Keep it up Dr I enjoy u an your Knowledge

Thank you dr. Li 😊

Thanks doc! This is great to know that my most favourite veggies are so good. In fact, at least half of a large carrot is on my dinner plate nearly every time I cook. Plus broccoli or cauliflower or Brussel sprouts. Love mushrooms too. Cheers.

green beans blanched are great as salad with red onion,balsamic vinegar,olive oil,and salt..enjoy! fresh beans best but good quality frozen are fine too

I enjoyed the video and Will try to eat more of thecrecommended vegetables that I often avoid. I appreciate when you telling how they are best eaten - raw of cooked … and surprizing info to me that Original carrots were purple but yellow on the inside 💜🧡💛

I love tomatoes as snack❤️

if you already blanched or cooked the cruciferous vegetable, there is a way to get some itc when you cut the vegetable after blanched, sprinkle mustard seed powder on the vegetable so that way you can introduce a new source of myrosinase since by blanching it destroyed the original myrosinase in that blanched vegetable.

Good information. I just happened to have watched a video today about The Netherlands, and it mentioned William of Orange. It's nice to know he was the inspiration for orange carrots! Also, do I need to cook the carrots to get the benefit or can I eat them raw? Thanks!

Haricots verts are delicious with a few drops of lemon juice and olive oil !

My understanding is that itc will be formed only when you cut or chew or injure the vegetable. You need to wait about 45 minutes after cutting before you cook or expose the vegetable to heat for the itc like sulforaphane to form. Once you blanch the vegetable the myrosinase will be destroyed and the itc will not be able to be produced.

hi Dr. Li am from Manila, i am from Manila, Philippines. what particular brand of Areds2 can you recommend? there are lots in Amazon like NewAge, there are also Focus Select and UPNourish; which one should I buy? thank you...

What’s a vegtable?

Good info. How about antinutrients in plants?? Dr Chaffee's videos about" plants are killing us", prevents me eating veggies... ?

He mentions a link to tap on to get a free list of foods. However there is no link. Perhaps there used to be a link. If someone in this comment section saw a link please tell me where it is.

Do we have to avoid vegetables like potatoes n spinach which are high in oxalates ? 😅

This is good news for me, since I eat all of these on a regular basis. Some of them I only eat raw. I cannot stand cooked broccoli and cabbage.

What about the lectins in tomatoes?

What about dandelion greens? People enjoying the Mediterranean diet love mixing them with legumes.

Do these foods also benefit ovarian cancer?😢

Im confused, Dr Gundry says that you can only eat beans that have been cooked in a pressure cooker and he also says that you shouldn't eat the skins or seeds of tomatos. Is this a case of doctors differ and patients die?

Love me some “vegtable”

Dr. Li, I would like for you to address lectin. I just started the Plant Paradox program. I'm concerned if this is sustainable as a vegetarian.

What about nuts? I eat daily 90g Walnuts,30g pekans, 30g haselnuts, 30g macadamia...since 2 years

Tried to download The Gut Axis resource but it didn't work

My husband started growing Yard Long green beans here in Central Florida where our summers are very hot. I think they are also called Cow Peas, Chinese Long Beans, and Asparagus Beans and more. The Latin name of this plant, Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis. I'm just beginning to research these and am happy to know that green beans are so very nutritious. Thank you so much for sharing!!

What about fermented veggies? Do they have the same qualities and benefits as the fresh ones? Thank you.

Off to the supermarket now! However is frozen vegetables acceptable?

You should review the cooking of LiZiQi hopefully somebody will feel inspired to copy this in the US.

Mispelled vegetable in title. Hmm...

Kale is often loaded with heavy metals. Enjoy!

Medicinal mushrooms are decent in coffee.

I have a question. If you don’t want to overcook veggies, does it happen after you steam them then sauté them?

Spelled wrong in the thumbnail

Tomatoes aggravate my arthritis. Is there anything I can do to reduce the effects?

I eat tomato paste right out of the can. 2 TBS/day.

Doesn't tomatoes acidic and no good in metal cans???.

Sir, why do you wear black cloth most of the time? Can you wear white, blue, pink etc...? It will be more joyful.😊 You are a wonderful, joyful teacher that give us hope, joy, joie de vivre. Thank you.

Allergic to tomatoes…😢

After an allergic test - I am allergic to TOMATO!

But wait. Carnivore influencers told me vegetables are poisonous and are trying to kill me....

Not sure if you’re aware that vegetables is spelled incorrectly in your title

First view

For me tomatoes and grapefruits are too acid!! Doesn t fit my body!!

I AINT EATIN 5 CARROTS A DAY, AND NEITHER DO YOU !😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are these healthy vegetables helpful to President Biden?
