The Ideal Diet for Humans | Galit Goldfarb | TEDxWilmington

Eat healthy, do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊

I think the tipping point in any diet is getting rid of processed foods especially sugar.

Lord, have mercy... I feel like so much was left out of that speech. I expected so much more detail from a person who escaped cancer.

Since everyone on YT comments threads are trained professionals with years of academia and scientific experience, I am just gonna read the comments, and skip the video.

To fight stage 4 lung cancer I made 39 diet and lifestyle changes to help my 4 treatments. Given 3 months to live in feb 2017. Today happily tumourfreetim

She is an advocate of a whole food plant based diet. You're welcome.

Thank you, Ted Talks, TEDxWilmington, and Galit Goldfarb, for this is the presentation that resonates most with me of my entire existence. I studied biological anthropology at UCSD to follow this thread that astounds me at how I experience passion as the information is presented. I am wholly grateful and in alignment.

You are correct. Thank you for this presentation.

The truth is that the more we distance from human nature, the most we suffer the consequences. This lady is so right. Great video.

So great speech 👏🏻 Amazed that you have recovered from cancer by learning and following a healthy diet .. bravo .. I love you 💕

Thank you for sharing your research. You are doing great job. All the best....

Everyone should see this. I love how she explains the basis of why people talk about "too little protein" in someone's diet.

Dear TED, when presenter shows slides, data, we too wish to see the same !!! Pl tell your camera crew......

I still recommend that people that are interested in diet and "What should I eat", go take about 2 hours of a non stop presentation in You Tube by the late Nicholas Gonzalez, "What should I eat"? that was presented in 2010. For everyone that thinks they have to be a Vegan, Vegetarian, follow paleo, keto, Atkins, South Beach, Ornish, Pritikin, Oprah, and a thousand other diets, please take the time to listen to him. Then you will have better clarity. Best wishes.

Superb ,humanity needs this .

She talks about animals at that time as very lean, which is probably true. But she doesn't mention the fact that the whole animal was eaten, including the fatty organs such as the brain.

The beautiful part of this talk is, it is personal experience. Quite often in modern science we try to establish the idea that "one size fits all". People continue to follow practices which everyone involve in. It is just matter of time, before world evolves to learn and identify what is right for individual body. We cannot force everyone to believe. Healthy skepticism is good, but outright discarding information is not science. Tailored diet for our genetic pool, and introducing necessary food for desired outcome, beyond, purified drug molecules will be the Future.

One topic that I have never seen much information on is whether the depleted soils we grow our food in really have the levels of nutrition we expect. After a while, the fertilizer makes the plants manufacture starch---and not much else. Anyone else think this might be a part of the obesity epidemic in US. Never reaching the point of satiety due to lack of trace nutrients. . . .

Just lay off breads, flour of any kind! Lay off sugar … even fructose! And get PLENTY of active exercise , sunshine, and lots of restful sleep, and you’ll be fine!👍❤️

Exercise- run 4-5 miles daily - don’t jog. No sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods. Follow 16 hour fasting and 8 hour eating regimen. Relieve stress, sleep 8-9 hours !!! That’s it.
