I also try to avoid too much fruit spiking your sugar is not healthy in the long run introducing Dr David Sinclair a distinguished professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School renowned for his expertise in longevity with a focus on holistic health practices he advocates for a lifestyle that includes predominantly plant-based nutrition intermittent fasting and select supplements to promote longevity and vitality healthy long life Channel offers an in-depth exploration of his invaluable insights but today we're delving into the top three fruits he incorporates into his diet this focus is particularly noteworthy as Dr Sinclair emphasizes the

detrimental effects of excessive sugar intake on our overall health and aging process clearly any type of sugar is bad raw sugar fructose sucrose bad carbohydrates I would try to not eat too much of unprocessed carbohydrates keeping your blood sugar levels at a steady level not too high is clearly important no nobody would doubt that cancer cells by the way love sugar they live on sugar and that's another reason why you should try to keep it low cancer cells won't grow as well we all have cancer cells in our body all the time every day we

have cancer starting up and our bodies kill it as we get older our bodies don't do that our immune system goes down and cancer can now multiply so if you stay young you probably won't get cancer while he generally prioritizes vegetables over fruits due to their lower fructose content there are three fruits that hold a special place in his regimen join us as we uncover the three fruits endorsed by Dr sink layer for their contributions to a healthy prolonged life first avocado if I could only eat one food it would probably be avocados when asked

on Top Foods not just limiting to fruits but of all foods Dr David sinair singled out avocados avocado is often hailed as a superfood for numerous reasons making it a staple in many health conscious diets avocados are packed with essential nutrients they are rich in vitamin C E K and B vitamins including folate additionally they contain minerals such as potassium magnesium and copper all of which are vital for various bodily functions including nerve function muscle contraction and bone health the main reason for Dr Sinclair to pick avocados as his Top Choice stems from their remarkably

high content of OIC acid oleic acid which is produced when we we're hungry and our fat breaks down but also we can get oleic acid from olive oil avocados nuts and it may be that the the benefits we get from those foods are largely because those foods are turning on our defense Pathways against aging an OIC acid will activate c one which is an enzyme that controls longevity in our bodies and so we know at least some of the components such as OIC acid are extremely beneficial as well as those unsaturated fats that come up

avocados are primarily composed of healthy monounsaturated fats particularly OIC acid these fats are beneficial for hard Health as they help to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol the bad cholesterol while increasing levels of HDL cholesterol the good cholesterol the presence of OIC acid also contributes to the fruits anti-inflammatory properties oleic acid a monounsaturated Omega 9 fatty acid maintains cell membrane Integrity regulates gene expression related to inflammation and cell survival and acts as an antioxidant neutralizing harmful free radicals by modulating these Pathways OIC acid helps mitigate age related inflammation oxidative stress and cellular damage ultimately promoting overall

Health and Longevity avocados are an excellent source of dietary fiber with both soluble and insoluble fiber varieties this fiber content aids in digestion promotes satiety and helps regulate blood sugar levels making it beneficial for weight management and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes avocados contain various antioxidants including carotenoids such as ludan and zanthin which are essential for ey health and may help reduce the risk of age related macular degeneration lastly antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals thereby reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and

certain cancers in line with what Dr David Sinclair emphasized avocados are sugar-free Dr Sinclair stresses that our modern diet is so full of sugar it is best to minimize the intake of sugar whether it being glucose or fructose well there there's glucose and fructose okay so it doesn't really matter where you get it these are just chemicals that's it's the same chemical wherever you get it from glucose you need glucose right we again we die without glucose but the foods in in our world are so full of sugars that we're constantly feeding ourselves uh more

sugar than we ever would have experienced even just 100 years ago compared to foods with added sugar foods naturally containing sugars usually provide essential vitamins minerals and fiber making them nutrient-dense I definitely like fruit and I eat fruit and I encourage it with my kids it's it's a balance you want the most nutrition and vitamins and the lower amount of sugar on a scale of of that ratio uh I think Ronda Patrick's right that grapes have more sugar than nutrition compared to other fruits however within the Spectrum there are two fruits singled out by Dr

Sinclair for their exceptional balance of fructose and nutrients second cantaloupe or rockmelon the next would be cantaloupe or rockmelon as I would call it as a fruit that's the most nutritious you can get the other fruit that I think is worth looking at is cantaloupe or Rock melon that I believe has the most nutrition versus sugar of any fruit cantaloupe also known as rock melon offers a favorable balance of fructose and nutrients compared to many other fruits with a lower glycemic index than high fructose options like grapes and mangoes cantaloupe has a gentler impact on

blood sugar levels making it a wise choice for individuals managing diabetes or seeking blood sugar control moreover its Rich hydration properties owing to its high water content make it an excellent choice for replenishing fluids especially during warm weather or after physical exertion Beyond its hydrating qualities cantelopes boast an impressive array of vitamins and minerals they're particularly lauded for their robust vitamin C content essential for bolstering immune function and collagen synthesis as well as their abundance of vitamin A in the form of betacarotene crucial for maintaining healthy vision and skin remarkably in certain studies cantaloupes have

been found to contain comparable levels of beta carotene to carrots additionally they provide potassium vital for regulating blood pressure and supporting muscle function overall cantaloupes offer a multifaceted nutritional profile making them a valuable addition to any balanced diet third colorful berries the types of fruits that I like to have are ones that have lots of polyphenols colored fruits such as blueberries blackberries those things um you don't want to eat too many of them of course because then you you're basically eating tons of sugar in anyway but yeah blueberries I would have in in a yogurt

in the morning if I had had some blueberries I snack on those pretty often colored berries like blueberries and blackberries are high in polyphenol a class of antioxidants found in plant Foods polyphenol found in berries offer numerous health benefits primarily through their antioxidant activity anti-inflammatory effects and positive impact on cardiovascular health can look for foods that have a lot of color the purples the Reds the very deep greens these are signs that the plants are making healthy molecules polyphenols these little chemicals that are found in plants when particularly when those plants are stressed out plants

under stress produce chemicals to Shield themselves from harsh conditions these protective bioactive compounds known as polyphenol lend the vibrant Hue seen in plants and fruits such as berries and avocados Dr s alongside his scientific collaborators has introduced the concept of xenor is xenohormesis is a biological principle that explains how environmentally stressed plants produce bioactive compounds that can confer stress resistance and survival benefits to animals that consume them the Zeno means cross species and hormesis is the term that what doesn't kill you makes you live longer and be healthier and so we're getting cross species Health

improvements by molecules that plants make and plants make these molecules when they're also under adversity or perceived adversity and that's because these plants make these colorful and Xeno hermatic molecules that make themselves stress resistant turn on their suru defenses The Sur genes remember and when we eat them we get those same benefits that's the idea and we've evolved to do so this isn't a coincidence it's our theory that we want to know when our food supply is under adversity because we need to get ready for a famine so we hunker down and preserve our body

and by eating these colored Foods so practically speaking if it's full of color if there's been some chewing by a caterpillar Organic Grown locally in local farms I'll eat that if you want to know more from Dr Sinclair's teaching please refer to this video which highlights the essence of his numerous talks which was viewed by more than 4 million people around the world
