Esta imagen es un escáner corporal de una mujer con 113 kg y otra con 54 kg, se pueden apreciar diferencias abismales. El tamaño del corazón, intestinos y estómago son excesivos,. Los huesos prácticamente han modificado su posición y el líquido que hay entre el cráneo y el cerebro también es mayor.

Es urgente que dejemos de “romantizar” a la obesidad, no es aceptación, es un problema de salud.

Researchers test antimutagenic agents on people who smoke because they voluntarily have carcinogens coursing through their veins from ci******es. One study compared the antimutagenic effect of curcumin between smokers and nonsmokers.

When the urine of cigarette smokers was added to bacteria, the number of DNA mutations shot up dramatically. The urine of nonsmokers, however, caused far fewer DNA mutations, which makes sense because they have fewer chemicals running through their systems. What happens if turmeric is eaten every day for a month? Not much for nonsmokers, but, for those who do smoke, the mutagenic potential of their urine noticeably decreased in just 15 days and dropped even more by day 30.

This was the result of less than one teaspoon a day of plain turmeric, just the spice you can buy at your local market, indicating that dietary turmeric is an effective antimutagen.

There’s an even more effective antimutagen than turmeric, though, and that’s not smoking. The DNA-damaging power of smokers’ urine exceeded that of nonsmokers even after eating turmeric for a month.

Berries may slow brain aging by as much as two and a half years. Eating just one cup of blueberries a day has been shown to improve long-term memory in older adults. You can even correlate the cognitive improvements with enhanced brain activation by using state-of-the-art brain scan technology to actually visualize the improved blood flow to those same regions of the brain caused by the blueberry consumption.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on children compared about one cup of blueberries to two cups and none at all. What did the researchers find? Blueberries improved cognitive performance, and the more berries, the better. And, the improvements weren't seen after 12 weeks of eating berries, but within hours of just a single meal with blueberries.

If you eat blueberries week after week, you also get chronic benefits, such as reduced artery stiffness and a boost in your natural killer cells, which are one of your body’s natural first lines of defense against viral infections and cancer.

Berries are some of the most healthful foods we should include in our daily routine. This is why they have their own special category in Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen checklist. Download the free Daily Dozen app today, and start ticking off your daily servings of berries.

Now, hopefully, if you eat lots of fruits and veggies, you won’t need a lot of drugs. But, certain phytochemicals in plants can affect the metabolism of drugs in the body, and grapefruit is the poster child—described as “a pharmacologist’s nightmare."

Ideally, we should eat as many phytonutrient-rich foods as we can. At the very least, we should eat enough antioxidants to counter the oxidation of digestion (8,000 to 11,000 antioxidant units a day). The average American doesn’t even get half the minimum of antioxidants per day! No wonder oxidant stress-related diseases abound. We’re getting so few antioxidants in our diet, we can’t even keep up with the free radicals created by just digesting our meals.

These estimated minimum antioxidant needs do not take into account the added amounts we need to counter additional oxidant stressors, such as meat consumption, cigarette smoke, air pollution, sleep deprivation, or being sick. Ideally, we should be soaking our bloodstream with antioxidants—which means including antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables at every meal, and sipping on antioxidant-rich beverages, such as green tea or hibiscus tea, throughout the day.

Berries are the most healthful fruits, due in part to their pigments, and are second only to herbs and spices as the most antioxidant-packed food category. As a group, berries average nearly 10 times more antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables, and have in excess of 50 times the antioxidants than animal-based foods. Approximately two thirds of a cup (100g) of blueberries has 9,240 micromoles. Eating berries every day is one way to be sure to maximize our antioxidant intake.

Comparing the antioxidant content of 3,139 foods found that, ounce for ounce, dried herbs and spices average the greatest antioxidant punch of all. Now, even though herbs and spices may have ten times the antioxidant power of nuts and seeds, for example, it’s easy to eat a few ounces of nuts in one sitting, but not so easy to eat a few ounces of nutmeg. However, some herbs and spices—including cinnamon, cloves, lemon balm, marjoram, oregano, and peppermint—are so rich in antioxidants that just a small pinch can go a long way. Not only do herbs and spices add a nutritional punch, but they can also make your dishes more flavorful.

Berries, along with herbs and spices, are some of the most healthful foods we should include in our daily routine. This is why they have their own categories in Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen checklist. Download the free Daily Dozen app today, and start ticking off your daily servings.
