Eat [more] like a rabbit to live –as– long[er] –as– [like] a giant tortoise.
We’re not rabbits though. Never have been. We’re not lions either.

@@pluribus_unum 😵💫 don’t know what all that means but I admit defeat 😵 good day to you sir

Ignore me. Good day to you and yours as well.
Leaves don’t have many calories for their weight. Interesting trivia though.
That’s why they have more nutrients per calorie, Not per weight.
@@tristanjordan2709 The nutrients per weight could be lower than other sources, meaning you’d have to eat more.
Thank you Dr Greger for spreading such helpful info!
Interesting because here’s where you agree with Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg, and all the other high fat, meat centric keto influencers.
Are you blind, stupid, or simply disingenuous?
Should I worry about oaxylates? I used to eat a large container of spinach every week til I heard about that…
As far as I can tell, if you were eating that much spinach and were fine before you should still be fine now with the oxalates. Now if you have ever had a kidney stone, you should limit oxalates.
Spinach is not a dark green leafy vegetable. What sets dark green leafy vegetables apart is they don’t have oxalates
@@ninjaturtles12121 In Greger’s daily dozen spinach is a part of the greens category.
@@aldenpartridge4773 yes but not DARK green leafy
Sad, folks are too scared to eat plants.
That’s it?
Does arugula count as dark green leafy vegetable? I eat it everyday. I don’t like Kale unless in a smoothie and those are expensive so I don’t make them everyday
