DESCRIPTION: Whole fruits and vegetables were compared to both antioxidant pills as well as supplements containing fruits and vegetable extracts for their ability to treat seasonal allergies, improve lung function, and control asthma.

If you missed my last video about the fruit and vegetable treatment study, you can watch it here: Treating Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-with-fruits-and-vegetables). Prior to that I dealt with preventing asthma in the first place: Preventing Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-asthma-with-fruits-and-vegetables). I’ll close out this video series with video about the efficacy of vegetarian and vegan diets for the treatment of allergic diseases in Treating Asthma and Eczema With Plant-Based Diets (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-and-eczema-with-plant-based-diets).

The video I referenced about the cedar allergies in Japan was Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors and Allergies (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors-and-allergies/).

The theme of whole foods being more efficacious than supplements seems to come up over and over again. See for example:
• Produce, Not Pills to Increase Physical Attractiveness (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/produce-not-pills-to-increase-physical-attractiveness/)
• Dietary Treatments for Computer Eye Strain (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-treatments-for-computer-eye-strain/)
• Some Dietary Supplements May Be More Than a Waste of Money (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-dietary-supplements-may-be-more-than-a-waste-of-money/)
• Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/)
• Optimal Phytosterol Source (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-phytosterol-source/)

More on “vitamin P” in How to Slow Brain Aging by Two Years (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-slow-brain-aging-by-two-years/).

The anti-inflammatory effects of nuts may explain the Harvard Nurse’s Health Study finding: Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fighting-inflammation-in-a-nut-shell/).

Enjoy this delicious and nutritious twist on Almond Milk by adding Pumpkin seeds! By adding pumpkin seeds, we increase the micronutrients in each serving. The health benefits from adding Almonds or Pumpkin seeds to your diet are numerous! Almonds lower the risk of heart attacks, contains laetrile (anti-cancer), contains iron and copper used as a remedy for anemia, and helps to lower bad cholesterol. They are also a good source of protein, rich in vitamin E, and supplies lasting energy. By adding Pumpkin seeds, they reduce arthritic inflammation, beneficial for the prostate, promotes good sleep, and hair restoration. Both Almonds and Pumpkin seeds are Alkaline Forming, increase good cholesterol (HDL), and promote healthy bones and teeth. By soaking nuts and seeds prior to making the milk, you neutralize the enzyme inhibitors, activate the full nutrient potential of the nut or seed, easier to digest and absorb more of the micronutrients into your system, and makes them easier to pulverize, making for a creamier “milk”. I prefer my nut or seed milks plain. Feel free to add your own twist to this recipe. Possibly, natural vanilla extract or 3-6 pitted prunes, figs, or dates (as a whole food sweetener).
For Chocolate Almond Milk add a couple Tbsp of raw cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and sweeten to taste with a few pitted figs, prunes, or dates.
For Cinnamon Milk add in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla, and a few pitted figs, prunes, or dates..
For Strawberry Milk add in desired amount of strawberries with vanilla and a few pitted figs, prunes, or dates. Enjoy!!
