hey there Dr will Lee here I am back
with uh some new food is medicine
research and uh some demo and uh and
this all has to do with metabolism and
as you can see I'm here with my new book
uh it's actually not technically out yet
but if you want to get a copy go to the
link in my bio and sign up for my
metabolism master class I'll actually
give you a copy of the book for free but
uh the uh uh the
um
book is all about metabolism and I'm
actually here doing some research
because one of the seasonal fruits is
Kaki or persimmon this is actually the
fuyu persimmon I don't know how many of
you guys have had one but they're
actually
um beautiful actually they kind of look
like tomatoes a little firm and they
grow in trees
um a uh I got this actually from
somebody who grows them and uh and I was
doing some research and I wondered what
was in fuyu Persimmons and it could be
could it be healthy so let me just show
you how food is medicine research has
actually done so first of all I went
started to look in the research this is
a paper on the chemistry and
functionality of bioactive compounds in
the persimmon what I found is that
there's actually beta cryptosanthin
there's lycopene there's a zeaxanthin
and lutein these all protect
um your vision as you age and
cryptosanthin and lycopene starve
cancers it's the same thing that are
present in tomatoes and not surprisingly
this thing that looks like a tomato
also when you cut it open
it's got this nice orange Hue inside
that actually is a sign of carotenoids
like beta-cryptosanthin and lycopene now
what's also interesting
is uh the uh I looked at inside uh
there's another paper talking about
Persimmons and what's inside it and it
turns out that what's inside persimmon
this uh the the bioactives actually
increase your not your body's nitric
oxide bioavailability now for those of
you who read my book eat to be disease
you'll know that nitric oxide which was
uh the subject uh that won a Nobel Prize
actually uh by my friend Louis ignara by
the way who's got an extra excellent
book about it called Dr no you should
see it uh read it but anyway Persimmons
actually have these bioactives that
improve nitric oxide bioavailability and
which helps your circulation
helps your blood vessels dilate and
nitric oxide helps recruit stem cells
that can actually help your body
regenerate from the inside out let's go
have a bite
mmm
it's a bit crunchy
pretty juicy
not too sweet but absolutely delicious I
really like it now
I'm studying metabolism
here's the paper
that shows a bit of cryptosanthin
induces ucp1 expression in adipose
tissue let me translate that for you
what's in here
what's in this persimmon
the beta kryptozanthin activates a
cellular pathway
in brown fat that burns down harmful
white fat it turns on your metabolism
and increases your metabolism that's
what this baby does
all right
um totally cool totally great if you
want to learn more about Foods
metabolism the real science
of what we're learning about metabolism
and how to eat to beat disease and how
to eat to beat your diet
eating to beat your diet means that you
don't have to go on a diet in order to
be healthy it's kind of the idea of
anti-diet
um please sign up go to the link in my
bio sign up for my newsletter sign up
for metabolism masterclass and again if
you take my metabolism mini course I
will gift you
a free book as soon as it comes out in
March you'll be number one on the list I
will send it to you all right so it's
the only way right now that you can
actually put your dips on on a this new
book eat to be your diet and so I just
wanted to show you I can actually
Walk The Walk
as I talk to talk
Dr will Lee out
