In this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta discusses the subject of inflammation and how it is central to understanding why people develop heart disease and heart attacks. contact me via Facebook on yorkcardiology@gmail.com
I think this is the summary and main message of all informational videos in all of RU-vid. If everyone follows these simple points then that's enough for a good healthy life.
Three or four years after this video, my Cardiologist STILL has never given me any of the information Dr. Gupta has about my heart issues. That's why once you watch him, you become addicted. Plus the bonus of his good looks, pleasant personality, super knowledge and wonderful accent. A medical GEM 💎!
You are a excellent teacher. I never really saw it in the light and clarity you taught. Very informative. This lesson will be imbeded in my mind. This is what you've been called to do. Good job Dr. Gupta.
This is one of your older videos but very much needed, great explanations and simple clear advice, inflammation is not really spoken about in detail - I’m converted, no more processed food for me, had a couple of things during the week but I’m retired now, no excuse not to cook from scratch most of the time😊, more exercise required, stress is under control, so no more excuses from me, hope I can stop any deterioration in those arteries! no symptoms so far 🤞 thank you Dr Guptar your a lovely man and a lifesaver. 🥰
I have just been to a specialist cardiologist for coronary calcium test,ECG, & other tests all good im 58.....and the one thing i remember him saying he said & I quote "Every disease is in someway related directly or indirectly to inflammation" & thankyou doc for your wonderful vids(side note look up the science of meditation & how it reduces inflammation ..there is mounting evidence to support when your very still & deeply in a meditation state the body can heal dramatically hope this helps❤
Dr. Gupta, I finally understand how heart disease starts. You did a wonderful job of explaining how it happens and why. The knife versus toothbrush analogy is brilliant.
You are a great doctor with good intentions. If all doctors were like you it would make healthcare so much better. We are so happy you are learning us so much, thank you!
Dr. Gupta, all your videos are immensely helpful. You are helping mankind more than you may ever know. Many thanks to you for this information. We humans need to know that we can help ourselves. Cheers!!
Hi Dr Gupta! I’m a 61 yo RN in the US, and I just have to thank you for the wonderful teaching you’re doing!! I started listening/watching you because of the ectopic beats I’ve been having for a year now due to stress (and at times from an over full stomach) which I discovered from your videos. I’m beyond grateful for the way you’re able to get through to my adult ADHD brain!! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!! Thanks, too, for sharing the magnesium/stress/hyperventilation connection!! So helpful !!!! I’m scheduled to have an echo and a stress test separately this week coming, and then I’ll wear a Zio XT patch for 2 weeks. I have a horrific family history for heart attacks and my Mum had a CABG x3 at my age, so I’m motivated to get checked out. My main point for writing is to thank you for making an enormous difference in my life! I’m a stubborn ice cream addict, but because of your teachings, I’ve given up ice cream, along with other sugars, gluten, and dairy. so that I can live to see my first grand baby due to arrive in 6/19, and it’s a boy!! I’ve known for years that I need to make changes, however, it’s just now that I’m willing and able to finally take action because of the way you presented the information. Please know that you’re exactly the catalyst I needed to desire permanent change and health for myself!! I’m 45 lbs too heavy (which I’ve lost & regained again 3 times over the past 20 years), I have PCOS, HTN, and my A1c is 5.6, so your timing is spot on!! May God continue to Bless you and your family💖 Kindest Regards, Susan Joy Lundin, RN
Try eating keto, it is regarded as anti-inflammatory and it will help you to lower and stabilize ( no sugar peaks) the sugar in your blood, and lose weight.
Unless you were born with a congenital disease most bad habits that lead to heart disease diabetes Alzheimer's are taught through bad diet through the generations it's not something that you're born with although your body can have a propensity to get sick because of being therapy but what if you were adopted and you didn't know what your family had you couldn't blame it on them.
“80% of Western disease is due to lifestyle.” Yes Sir. Thank you good Dr. I am currently learning/experimenting with decreasing inflammation thru lifestyle change. I switched to a modified low carb ketogenic diet x5months and already having great results. My migraines stopped within a week. Many other excellent side effects so far. I recently experimented with eating more nuts resulting in negative mood change and headache so maybe something with excessive omega 6. So cut them back down and the symptoms went away. Next experiment will be with increasing olive oil also intermittent fasting. I will look to see if you have a video on fasting. I feel good when I practice it but I wasn’t able to do it well till I switched to low carb lifestyle. I have also been more sensitive to caffeine since ketogenic so switching to decaf and herbal teas now. I have so much to learn. I am *very thankful for your generosity* in teaching us thru these videos. What an honorable work you are doing. So grateful Sir. 🙏🏼 Much respect.
Brilliant, what a great explanation, shame my cardiologist has never explained this and is just interested in medications. Thank you Dr Gupta, much appreciated 🙏🏼
Your flare as for lecturing is utterly impressive. I appreciate your time and the goodwill to teach us, the ordinaries, about the things reserved for professionals. Thanks a lot again Dr..
An absolutely fabulous vid. Thank you dr, you are a REAL dr. You look at the big picture and are big on prevention. Most conventional drs are pill pushers for the drug lords “big pharma”. I had serious heart issues in 2014, and for 2015, took the beta blockers, spironolactone, and statins. I was slowly worsening. What the system has to offer for chronic disease is garbage. I put the statins in the garbage, dramatically reduced the other meds. At the same time, I went low carb, healthy high fat, lots and lots of greens. Took out all the processed food. I take magnesium, carnitine, d-ribose, ubiquinol. I can tell you, at age 60, I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. Also, good quality sleep, daily exercise and I get out in the sun when it’s available. Laugh when you can.
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
You are a very humble and generous type of expert. Guys like you are the future as humanity evolves for the better. You have a great "heart" !! Also you are a talented educator.
Yes .Dr Gupta is a God sent.Every so often i hear him on the radio giving great advice in helping his fellow humans live a better life.Indeed!Thank God for you and thank you immensely
I wish that you were on RU-vid 11 years ago. I listened to my doc and tried to control my cholesterol. That was all I worried about. He didn’t aggressively emphasized he importance of lowering the inflammation factors. I took statin and thought that was all I needed. Fast forward. I’m looking a quadruple bypass surgery in three weeks. These days, good ,clear, and direct information from caring professionals are very scarce. No doctors want to be vocal and push good health. The ones that do are either selling a book or vitamins. If you read this, please help advise us with heart disease on how to eat properly and reemphasize that staying healthy heart requires many lifestyle commitments other than just taking statins. Thanks.
We hear so much about inflammation, but this is the first time it was exclaimed to me in an understandable way. Thank you so much for putting together this video.
It is so great that people who also studied the conventional medicine look deeper, and just logical thinking by looking at different aspects. Indeed inflammation by refined sugars, stress and regular medicines and lack of electrolytes and minerals and enzymes cause heart problems
Thank you Dr. Sanjay, your information about inflammation and heart problems are life changing for me, I never thought I could ever have symptoms of heart problems but I am having it, and I know the stressful lifestyle and how I did eat trough the years are catching up with me, and I need to change radically and fast my lifestyle, and watching your videos made all the difference for me. I truly appreciate you taking the time to give teach us and help us to get the knowledge to make the change in our lives, to improve our health, specially what is concerning to the heart .God bless you.
So good to see a respected, educated professional be honest about the profit motive ruining our health - and of corporate greed being responsible for our ignorance about tobacco earlier and pre-packaged food now. You're a brave man to also link the media to the whole con though. We have been manipulated for so many generations now, few are even aware of it.
Well Dr you must be sent by God as you speak perfect sense in language we can understand. You know that people worry over there heart health and you take time to explain. I have suffered for years with PAF and have seen three different cardiologist's ant not one explained any of the cause and effect etc. Just fobbed off with different med's with no explanation how and why they work etc.. You are a godsend to people.... 👍
thank you for this good information. I understand my AFib now. I can actually start to live a life instead of worry about it and no control over it. I can change the life style .
It’s so true about foods and food like products we buy in our stores and our FDA does not care about us, “the consumer” like we think, a long with so many other things you’ve mentioned in this clip. Thank you so, so much!
GREAT MESSAGE 🕯 VERY INTERESTING & COMPREHENSIVE ... The World Needs Doctors like YOU Dr Sanjay ... Spreading Awareness will dispel PLENTY Of Misinformation that Humanity has about Health Issues ; KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .. THANK YOU .. BEST WISHES 😊
Thank you so much. I don’t have heart condition but I love your message of humanity which I haven’t seen from any other doctors so for. I have acid reflux and ankylosis spondylitis and so far I have not seen any genuine videos like yours from any doctor from around the world. Thank you so so much.
Thank you Dr. Gupta you are God sent. Helping us understand how our body’s function. You are such a wonderful human. I believe God will have a great reward for you. You are also very intelligent, humble and very handsome. Blessings to you.
You are a great teacher. Thanks for educating us! I had a similar symptom while walking up a steep mountain with my mountain-climbing husband, but I feel okay on flat land when I go for a long walk at age 56 1/2. I am working on improving my nutrition, eating healthily and going for daily walks. I used to swim, but this is not possible for the time being. I'm trying to cast away my stress. Thanks so much for this information!!!
Great video Dr Sanjay Gupta, am studying for my exam, in my final year of nutrition. It's refreshing to hear your point of view with regards to inflammation, I believe in all the points you make. I hope it doesn't take long for Joe public to realise all you said.
You are so right Dr.Gupta. I agree with you and I will try to reduce my sugar intake. I will concentrate on my Health. Thank you my sweet doctor. I wish there were more doctors like you.❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍🌞🌹💐
thank you dr gupta you are a real doctor; who took the time to explain what causes a heart attack; many doctors will not say this .because .either they dont know this..or.it will cut into their bottom line ...thank you again......
Thank you Dr. Gupta for the explanation on inflammation, that was very helpful. Your Channel is a EXCELLENT public service ! Thank you for taking the time to teach us all how to have and to maintain a healthy heart ant to live a health lifestyle . 😊💓
I watch videos by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, cardialogist. His videos are simple to understand and with amazing clarity based on sound scientific logics. Keep it up Dr as you are doing a great service to the suffering humanity.
Thank you so much for speaking out so courageously about what influences our health and enlightening us about choices we can make to prevent harm. It would be great if you initiated an evolutionary program to monitor inflammation, that would be fantastic! Let's hope we don't have to wait for the next generation to have that useful technology.... Much gratitude and appreciation for all you are doing. xxxx
Thank you so much for this beautiful explanation of systemic inflammation. I am a health coach, and I try to explain this to people all the time, but they don't understand the scope of the damage inflammation can cause. Thank you thank you, thank you! Especially coming from a medical doctor and cardiologist! It is a wonderful tool for me to share this with my clients to add validity to what I told him!
Till this lecture, I had never understood what chronic inflammation meant. I had heard this a lot. For me, inflammation was only with respect to orthopaedic injuries! Now I know. Thank you very much
Thank you Dr Gupta for this invaluable video. With chronic CHD I have been prompted to take urgent action on my diet after watching informed Cardiac Videos - no more wheat! Piotti diet; greater care with sugar and refined carbohydrates. Rather late in the day to take greater personal responsibility, but taking action even now is better than not taking any action. Your video confirms many of my suspicions as to the underlying causes. I watch your videos with great interest and gratitude.
Hi Dr Gupta Thank you for your time making educational videos not to take our hearts and health for granted Your explanation is so easy to understand and follow God bless you Dr Gupta for caring n helping people around the world ❤️
If only one’s own Physcians would speak so honestly with his patients. Unfortunately it’s not profitable compared to pushing pharmaceuticals. It’s a dirty unethical profession on the whole. Only thing worse are Lawyers. No need to reply. Truly enjoy listening to you. Thank you Oceans. 💛👍🇺🇸
I like that you pointed out that trust in the food industry is not well placed. It used to just be the crazy lady next door saying it. But we need well informed people like you to add credibility. Especially for the young people that don't listen or bother to educate themselves. It's sad that we have to experience it before we understand that we won't live forever.
Thank you for your great explanation about "Inflammation". All these years we were told to cut out fats, so I was eating everything non-fat, low fat when in fact we should have been avoiding the sugars and carbs. In the US 50% of the people who had heart attacks have a normal cholesterol levels. How about getting a "CIMT", wouldn't that tell us if we have plague. Thanks YOu again.
CIMT Your doctors well hesitate and claim that it’s not covered by the insurance, my response was so what, I’ll pay for it out of pocket. Well worth knowing your score. Spread the word sugar is the devil!
Thank you so much for your help putting my mind at rest due to many heart problems. I find doctors are afraid to discuss your condition with you perhaps to save you worry. But my problem is I need to know so I can take charge of my own health and live with less fear. Your discussions are so helpful. So a huge thank you for your good work God Bless You
Wow! I never really understood inflammation. So easy to understand from you. Wish I had been given an explanation like this years ago when I was young.
It is a bit clearer now. But "inflammation" is still confusing. I cut my finger and the body has an inflammatory response to heal the wound. I jog 10 miles and my knees are swollen due to inflammation. That makes sense. But he talks about stress being inflammatory. That seems mysterious and *very different than an acute injury* that you can see. Hence the knife and toothbrush analogy. 🤔 He says to reduce stress but good luck reducing stress in today's world.☹ Also, a high degree of stress can often be very beneficial and motivational.
Fabulous! I am a longtime subscriber but today I have some time to binge watch more of your amazing videos. So informative and presented in such a frank, genuine and compassionate manner. Thank you Dr. Gupta.
Well said doctor your video is very useful you absolutely right about media . Stress is the No 1 killer I watch you on CNN and live in South Africa and I respect you for being so honest about excessive mebication. I cannot understand why we have to take so many. I am 62 years old and have been on a pressure tablet called Co Diovion and Adco Atenanol for the last 20 years Religiously go for all my check up and my doc does not stop my med. Also diabetic and my sugar is very controlled below 9 but doctor gave me glucophage XR all the time. I am just a statistic in his books.
I was at my end with my arachnoiditis, upper GI bleed . Endescope found hiatal hernia & 7 pectic ulcers. Also developed essential tremors. I prayed . Asked for him to lead me to a physian, that would guide me . I'm a young at heart and mind 73 yr old. Want my life back. FOUND Dr. Sanjay Gupta ! Answered prayer. Everyone loves the great physian you! Your finally the real Dr . From now on I am listening to every single video you make. Thank you for saving my life literally. Now taking Magnesium and breathing exercises.
Thank you so much for your time in trying to educate us about everything that goes on in our body. We just have to teach ourselves to listen to our body.
My mom died last year. She grew up on a mostly vegetable diet and she said her habitS Changed when she started eating foods that my dad would like (which were more meaty). My dad’s genetics allows him to eat lots of meat and he is 72 and has smoked for 59 years of his life. The difference is my mom took on a lot of the stress as mothers do and I see the connection between stress and disease. Thank you to yourself and your team of helpful people. I will hope to live a better life with good advice. You’ve got a new subscriber in me.
Thank you Dr Gupta for another great video. If all doctor's took the time to explain things like you do, we would do what we were told to. Most doctors do not think they need explain to the patient why things have gone wrong in their body, or why they are changing your medication. Thank you once again. You are an asset to York hospital.
Dr.Gupta ,we are really grateful to you,for spreading true knowledge about heat ailments.Your advice is very nice to regularly exercise in moderation and avoiding processed foods ,and saturated fats,transfats for a healthy heart.We learnt how chronic inflammation causes heart attack .we learnt to reduce inflammation by having proper sleep,exercise , reducing stress,workload etc.Thanks.God bless you.
I have been suffering from heart palpitations. At times I do not know whether the palpitations are occurring in my left side stomach or in my heart. I have cut down my food intake and lost a lot of my body weight yet the palpitations are still there. I do not get enough sleep because of the palpitations. I am currently stuffing myself with all kinds of vitamins and smoothies, still the palpitations are still there. Thank you Dr. Gupta for explaining the situations that can cause these heart palpitations and remedies.
Truth spoken!!! We are so controlled by propaganda commercials running constantly tempting our tastebuds ! So many variables I have stress anxiety sugar addiction on. And on just have to be aware of feelings and do the best we can pray pray and pray! 🙏🏻💕
