Approximately 1 in 3 Americans have prediabetes, but only about 1 in 10 knows it. What works better at preventing it from turning into full-blown diabetes—drugs or diet and exercise? Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ I often hear the diet and exercise intervention described as 60% effective. That’s still nearly twice as effective as the drug, but that other study really showed it may be more like 100% in people who actually do it. So is diet and exercise 100% effective or only 60% effective? On a population scale, since so many people won’t actually do it, it may only be 60% effective. But on an individual level, if you want to know what are the chances you won’t get diabetes if you change your lifestyle, then the 100% answer is more accurate. Lifestyle interventions only work when we do them. Kale is only healthy if it actually gets into our mouth. It’s not healthy just sitting on the shelf. How about preventing prediabetes in the first place? See Preventing Prediabetes By Eating More (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-prediabetes-by-eating-more/) and my next video How to Prevent Prediabetes in Children(http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-prediabetes-in-children/). Some things we may want to avoid can be found in my videos Eggs and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-and-diabetes/) and Fish and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-and-diabetes/). And what if we already have the disease? See Diabetics Should Take Their Pulses (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetics-should-take-their-pulses/) and my new live presentation From Table to Able: Combating Disabling Diseases with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/from-table-to-able).

Given their oxalate content, how much is too much spinach, chard, beet greens, chaga mushroom powder, almonds, cashews, star fruit, and instant tea? Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ If you missed it, be sure to check out the previous video: Oxalates in Spinach and Kidney Stones: Should We Be Concerned? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Oxalates-in-Spinach-and-Kidney-Stones-Should-We-Be-Concerned). To be clear, I encourage everyone to eat huge amounts of dark green leafies every day, the healthiest food on the planet, but if you follow this advice (and you should!) then just choose any of the other wonderful greens. If you eat regular boring amounts of greens (like a serving a day) then it doesn't matter which you choose. I continue to eat spinach, beet greens, and chard all the time. It's just that you can overdo those three, so when I'm trying to hit my pound-a-day green leafy quota I personally do mostly kale, collards, and arugula, which also happen to have the added benefit of being cruciferocious!
