Dr. Gregor delivers a charismatic and informative talk on how we can reduce and stave off the 15 leading causes of death. Nutritional science, health statistics and research is right up Get Dense's alley. Dr. Greger whips up a recipe that feeds anyone's proclivity for keeping the doctor away. If you're new to Get Dense and/or not up on some our health philosophies, we think this video's well worth your time. As for me, it's always a good refresher and reminder why we think and do and eat the way we try to think, do and eat. Enjoy.
My conclusions? I think the data is gaining such momentum within America that it's no longer about the citizen believing or not believing it, but needing a psychological swift kick in the pants. Like an addict, those who have been eating animal products need to learn how to embrace a new way of eating plant based food, and over time, realize it's for their good in spite of hard days.
Or not. And just (likely) die earlier.
Either way, it's not an eternal question--if I die tomorrow or in 80 years, my salvation's secure in Christ. But enjoying our time with those we love in the best health possible might not be as lofty a pursuit as previously thought. Meaning, it's possible! And I think Dr. Greger is of a similar mind. It's just getting other minds on board.
And bucking some cultural norms.
And psychological comforts attached to food.
But, the main goal isn't some fascist brainwashing, but an honest look at what we're eating and where to improve, right?
Anyway, education is probably the best method for creating awareness and change. Because let's face it, our weak minds and bodies are constantly trying to destroy us. Meanwhile Jesus is constantly enlivening us, giving us hope and a reason to love life with food that never dies: Him, the Bread of Life, in Word and Sacrament. Thanks be to God in spite ourselves.
