hey there Dr will Lee here and I am
excited to start 2023 by checking out
the grocery store and I actually wanted
to
um
show you guys the things that I see when
I actually go shopping now I'm actually
um you're supposed to stay away from the
middle aisle well I'm actually not
exactly in the middle aisle but I'll
show you things that I see in the middle
aisle that actually can light up your
metabolism because this 2023 it's time
to have energy in the body and that's
what your metabolism is all about
metabolism is about energy okay so here
I am checking all this stuff out let me
show you what catches my eye look at
this
sorry for the music in the background
but this these are dry beans canelli
beans uh these are actually delicious
you soak them cook them stew them
there's all kinds of things you can do
with beans beans actually light up your
metabolism let's keep on looking I want
to show you what else that I see here oh
look
um what is this
fried hibiscus but how about this
dried mushrooms
mushrooms contain a soluble fiber called
beta d-glucan and baited glucan actually
fires up your brown fat which is a space
heater that burns down harmful fats so
mushrooms are really great
um oh look I got here green lentils
lentils are also middle aisle foods that
actually light up your metabolism
lentils are tradition in the Middle East
Mediterranean style food again great
warming foods for the
um for the season and look at this
here's a pack of dried ancho
chilies Peppers Chili Peppers now
there's something in Chili Peppers
called capsaicin and capsaicin fires up
your body's metabolism and it uses your
beneficial fact to burn down your
harmful fat I actually love spicy food
and um look here's an our bowl chili
pepper look at all the different
varieties you can actually find all
dried
um and you know what if you don't know
what to do I don't know what to do with
a Chili Peppers you know what I do I go
on Google and I type in the uh the uh
the uh the name arbo Chili Peppers and
what I'll do is I'll look at the search
results and hit video and I'll actually
watch somebody teach me how to use it
let's keep on going I'm going to show
you a few more interesting items
um uh that I think are good oh look
dried apricots dried fruits are
something that I'm really going to be
trying to eat more of in 2023 because
they're a great way to get dietary fiber
and the bioactives are actually present
in dried fruit well see what else is
here and we're just taking you on a tour
of my shopping
um
cranberries fried cranberries all right
these it's not Thanksgiving anymore but
you can still use them they're great to
really just kind of snack on cranberries
have
a great source of Elijah tannins they
actually help your gut bacteria grow
better so there's a really good gut
bacteria called acromancia mucinophila
it loves to live in the gut when you eat
cranberries your gut actually becomes a
more hospitable environment by the
healthy bacteria boosts your immune
system helps streamline your metabolism
these are all metabolism healthy foods
and look what I found here I found some
roasted almonds another great choice for
your metabolism and here are uh let's
see these are
um cashew nuts hey I'm just gonna pull
one out without dropping the cashews now
a lot of people don't know this but raw
cashews you would pick in the tree in
Indonesia actually are poisonous so this
is an example of a nut that if raw
actually is deadly however the way they
do it is they actually pick them they
boil them it removes all the Toxin and
then they roast them and you have this
delicious fiber rich healthy food good
for your gut one more so I can show you
um oh this is a good one these are
um what do I have here I saw them a
second ago
walnuts walnuts are some of my favorite
one of us have actually been shown to
improve your immune system by activating
feeding your gut microbiome and when
that actually happens it actually makes
your body respond better to Medical
medicines specifically the study was
done in patients with colon cancer stage
three colon cancer getting regular
cancer treatment including nuts in their
diet actually lowered their mortality by
more than 50 percent so here's an
example of something that your doctor is
not going to prescribe but that I would
actually encourage you to eat if you're
battling cancer to feed your gut improve
your immune system help your immune your
own bodies to health defenses fight
disease and of course good healthy
immune system also prevents diseases as
well well that's it for today uh Dr Lee

seeing me do more and more of this
