In this video, we’re going to talk about the healthiest foods and some of the unhealthiest foods. Food is defined as that which is eaten to sustain life, provide energy, and promote the growth and repair of tissues.
By this definition, everything we eat should not be defined as food! Ultra-processed foods do not sustain life, provide energy, or promote the growth of tissues. Ultra-processed foods, also known as junk foods, create the most disease.
Ultra-processed foods can be described as foods that have been altered in an extreme way, either chemically, mechanically, or with heat. These “foods” should be completely eliminated from the diet.
Foods like Doritos are packed full of chemically altered GMO ingredients. They contain large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids and are shelf-stable for long periods of time.
Ultra-processed foods often contain three main ingredients: synthetic sugars, synthetic starches, and synthetic seed oils. Avoid these ingredients.
Here are the 8 healthiest foods:
1. Red meat–Grass-fed, grass-finished beef is excellent for your health and is one of the highest sources of glutamine.
2. Wild-caught fatty fish–Salmon and other fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Shellfish–Shrimp, clams, mussels, and other shellfish contain omega-3s, but they’re also a rich source of trace minerals. Oysters are one of the best sources of zinc.
4. Eggs–Choose organic pasture-raised eggs.
5. Fermented vegetables–Sauerkraut and kimchi are excellent sources of probiotics and vitamin C.
6. Leafy greens–Arugula, spinach, and high-quality lettuce contain folate, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium. Consuming dairy with spinach can reduce oxalates.
7. Organ meats–Beef liver, cod liver, and other organ meats are rich in many vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals.
8. Herbs and spices–Garlic, onion, sage, thyme, sea salt, basil, and cinnamon all have unique properties and important health benefits.

Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll add these 8 healthy foods to your diet and avoid ultra-processed foods. I’ll see you in the next video.
Dr Berg is going crazy with these health videos he’s giving us this year. Huge respect for that.
He wants us to do good
Thank you so much for another great video. I always learn something new with each video. I find your videos so motivational. I am on week 18 of Intermittent Fasting / Keto by following your expert advice. I have lost 3 and a half stones in this time. Thank you for all that you do Dr Berg.
One Dr.Berg’s video a day keeps diseases away. 😉
Haha
LoL 😂. Good one!
Agreed!
Just started doing Carnivore almost 2 weeks ago. Within a week all the bloated-ness went away. I am avoiding foods with oxalates, lectins, goitrogens, catechins, salicylates, and flavanoids for starters. No greens, no night shades like tomatoes, no fermented either. I agree with grass-fed beef, pasture-raised eggs with no soy or grain feed, wild caught salmon, onion & garlic (because they keep those pipes clean — at least for me). I feel really good now and much better than when I made these ‘menu’ changes almost 2 weeks ago. I do not call it D-I-E-T because of the first 3 letters in that word.
Carnivore is an excellent elimination diet to reset & heal our guts.
After 6 months you can try to add back another healthy food one at a time to see if you get an difficult inflammation response.
@@herbielina I think that is a great idea. I am going to play the wait and see game though because this is going so good I really hope it continues. No bugs for me!
They used to say you need unsaturated fats in order for them to carry vitamins. Then, they used to say whole wheat was better for the body, as well. I have been studying “health food” since the early 1970’s and find it interesting how so many concepts have completely reversed over the years.
Salt no salt fat sugar… its all a flip flop
They used to tell us that eggs were bad for us and margarine is better than butter. But, trust the science.
That’s because you are listening to “they”. Never listen to “they”😅
They never said you needed unsaturated fats to absorb vitamins, just fat in general. Now they don’t even bother saying that, just eat your plants and you’ll be fine 😮
@@tommydolan450 Yep, that’s what I am saying. Nearly everything that “science” said was good for us 60 years ago, or even 40 years ago, has been proven wrong.
1. Red meat (grass fed/finished)
2. Wild caught fish
3. Shell fish
4. Eggs (Highest quality.)
5. Fermented vegetables
6. Leafy greens
7. Organ meats
8. Herbal spices
Bless you ❤❤❤❤
Thankyou😊

I love beef 🥰
Dr. Berg, you’re on an amazing roll lately with this video, the fasting, the belly fat video and the sarcastic bad foods video you uploaded on Sunday. Knowledge is power and it’s great to get it from you, Dr. Berry and others who share the same or similar mindset!!!
Thanks Dr. B
You’re saving us from the sick care program we’re used to.
Very glad to be of help.
Dr. Berg is taking us out of the matrix of the food industry.

Dr Berg is my hero and a life saver

Thank you Dr Berg!😺👍
I bought hamburger with organ meat from U.S. Wellness meats, as well as their grass fed roasts. I hate to say this, but the meat often tasted rancid, so I stopped buying it. I bought from another company, I think the name was Slacker, or something like that, and had the same experience. Finding it hard to obtain healthy meat that tastes good. I’ve been buying some grass fed steaks from Walmart. Those seem to taste OK. But the other issue for me is cost. Why does it always have to be so dang expensive compared to the corn fed meat.
As for the fatty fish, I cant’ stand the taste. I absolutely hate the taste of fish, and loathe the smell even more. Had a friend when I was a teen, who was from Korea. I couldn’t stand being at his house because it smelled like a fish market. The only one I can eat is tuna, as tuna salad, so taste is masked.
I can understand why our food system became so unhealthy. Eating healthy just doesn’t taste as good. Not even close. Like it or not, they corn feed the cows because it makes the meat taste better. And it just seems the better the food tastes, the less healthy it is.
Thank you so much Dr Berg, you are very appreciated. People need to know about the terrible oils, remove them and use only good, natural oils/fats. And I love how you’re emphasizing probiotics. 💚 They’re truly life saving, essential for good health!!
Really liked the explanation of the ingredients on the nutrition label – you should do more of these!
Dr Bergs advice has changed my life and how I look at lifestyle and nutrition. Love your work. I look forward to your videos every week!
