FRIDAY
FRIDAY GLAD YOU'RE WITH US YOU ARE WATCHING KING 5 MORNINGS ON
KONG.
KONG.
KONG. JOYCE?>>> OKAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT,
WHAT WE EAT IMPACTS OUR
METABOLISM.
METABOLISM. AND WE KNOW THAT SOME FOODS ARE
BETTER THAN OTHERS SO WE HAVE
DR. EMILY COOPER HERE, SHE IS
FROM THE DIABETES INSTITUTE
FOUNDER AND THE AUTHOR OF THE
METABOLIC STORM THE SCIENCE OF
YOUR METABOLISM AND WHY IT IS
MAKING YOU FAT.
SO YOU USUALLY SAY IT IS NOT
ABOUT THE FOOD, FOOD DOESN'T
MAKE YOU FAT BUT TODAY WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT FOOD.
>> FOOD DOESN'T MAKE YOU FAT
BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN FOODS
THAT HAVE PROPERTIES ACTUALLY
CAN IMPROVE YOUR METABOLISM AND
SO, WHAT IS FUNNY THIS IS A FUN
TOPIC BECAUSE SO MANY OF THESE
FOODS THAT WE LOVE WE ARE TOLD
ARE SO BAD FOR US AND WE SHOULD
AVOID THEM.
AVOID THEM. >> WHEN I FIRST MET YOU I
HAVEN'T HAD A POTATO IN TWO
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. >>
YEARS. >> THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE IN MANY
CASES PASTA AND POTATOES
ACTUALLY POSSESS CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES THAT ENHANCE OUR
METABOLISM AND STRENGTHEN OUR
HEART HEALTH KIM -- AND REDUCE
HER DIABETES AND BALANCE ARE
WEIGHT.
WEIGHT.
WEIGHT. >> SO POTATOES ARE GOOD.
SO WE HAVE CEREAL.
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE
CHEERIOS SO TELL US MORE ABOUT
WHY THESE THINGS, GRADES AND
PASSES ARE GOOD AND ALSO THE
SHAPE OF THE FOOD.
>> YES BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT IS
PROCESS AND THE WAY WE PREPARE
IT CAN BRING OUT THE CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES SO FOR EXAMPLE PASTA
WHICH WE ARE TOLD AVOID PASTA
BUT PASTA IS ACTUALLY REALLY
GOOD FOR US.
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS MADE
WITH SEMOLINA FLOUR IS ACTUALLY
FROM THE HEALTHY PART OF THE
GRAIN LIKE MOST HEALTHY PART OF
THE GREEN.
THE GREEN. AND WHAT THAT DOES IS, IT
CREATES A STARCH THAT DIGESTS
SLOWLY INCREASES OUR BACTERIAL
FAVORABLE GUT FLORA AND
ACTUALLY, REALLY HELPS TO
INCREASE HORMONES FOR THE
METABOLISM THAT PREVENTS
DIABETES AND OBESITY AND THINGS
LIKE THAT SO SEMOLINA FLOUR AND
THE PASTA IS EXCELLENT.
AND WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THE
PROCESSING OF THE POSSIBLE
COMPRESSES THE END HAS TUBES
AND RODS LIKE MACARONI AND
SPAGHETTI, THAT IS FURTHER
INCREASING THE BENEFICIAL
EFFECTS OF THE STARS.
>> WHO KNEW?
>> THE SAME THING IS TRUE FOR
SERIALS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY
ARE PROCESSED SO PEOPLE WOULD
SAY WHAT, FLAKES?
SOME KIND OF FLAKES FROM CORN.
AND OWES SHAPED CEREAL, THE WAY
IT IS PROCESSED HAS A
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THAT
START.
START.
START. SO
START. SO IT IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR US.
SIMILARLY POTATOES.
SIMILARLY POTATOES. AND WELL, EVERYONE KIND OF KNOW
THAT WHOLE GRAINS CONTAIN YOU
KNOW GOOD THINGS FOR US SO LIKE
STEEL CUT OATS IN THESE DENSE
CHEWY BREADS THAT HAVE COARSE
GRAINS, BUT ALSO POTATOES, THE
WAY WE COOK THEM CAN CHANGE THE
STARCH INTO A MORE BENEFICIAL
STARCH.
STARCH.
STARCH. SO IF YOU LET THE POTATOES COOL
AFTER YOU'VE COOKED THEM AND
CHANGES THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE
AND MAKES IT ACTUALLY REALLY
BENEFICIAL FOR OUR HEALTH.
AND SO THEN WHETHER YOU
REHEATED AGAIN OR EAT IT COLD
IT RETAINS THOSE PROPERTIES.
>> THAT IS SO INTERESTING.
SOME OTHER FOODS THAT ARE GOOD
FOR US.
FOR US.
FOR US. COFFEE AND COCOA.
WOULD HAVE EVERY MOANING --
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. >> COFFEE, THEY DO HAVE
PROPERTIES THAT PREVENT DIABETES
AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND
OBESITY AND THE WAY WE BREW THE
COFFEE MATTERS TOO.
ACTUALLY WE GET THE MOST
BENEFIT FROM BREWING WITH A
FILTER, FILTERING THE COFFEE
LIKE FRENCH PRESSING IS VERY
GOOD ALSO.
GOOD ALSO. AND THEN ANYTHING THAT IS
FILTERED IS GOOD BUT ESPRESSO
IS A LOWER CONCENTRATION OF
THOSE BENEFICIAL CHEMICALS WHEN
WE PROCESS COFFEE THAT WAY.
SO YES IT DOESN'T RETAIN IT.
AND MOST PEOPLE, DO KNOW THAT
THINGS LIKE ALL OF OIL,
COLORFUL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
TOMATOES.
TOMATOES.
TOMATOES. PISTACHIO NUTS, ALL REALLY GOOD
FOR US.
FOR US.
FOR US. THEY CONTAIN CHEMICALS,
POLYPHENOLS THAT ARE
ANTIDIABETIC AND REDUCE RISK OF
OBESITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.>>
SO.
SO.
SO. >>
SO. >> THE IMPORTANT THING IS, TO
KEEP IN MIND IS, WE HAVE A LOT
OF CHEMICALS IN OUR FOOD
SUPPLIES WE WANT TO CHECK THE
LABELS AND MAKE SURE THERE IS
NOT CHEMICAL ADDITIVES AND WHEN
IT COMES TO FOODS LIKE THIS IF
YOU CAN, GO ORGANIC BECAUSE THE
PESTICIDES THEMSELVES
PESTICIDES THEMSELVES COUNTERACT THE BENEFICIAL
EFFECTS OF THE FOODS.
SO WHERE YOU CAN.>> SAME THING
WITH TOMATO SAUCE, THE CANS CAN
BE LINED WITH BPA WHICH IS A
CHEMICAL THAT IS BAD FOR OUR
METABOLISM.
METABOLISM. SO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WAY THE
FOOD IS PROCESSED AND
PREPARED.>> SO HAVE THE
POTATOES AND HASHBROWNS ON THE
CEREAL.>> EVER COCOA WITH YOUR
COFFEE.
COFFEE.
