I’m so glad I’m finally covering peripheral artery disease. If you remember my personal story, that’s one of the conditions my grandmother suffered from, one of the reasons she was confined in a wheelchair waiting to die, until…she was saved by evidence-based nutrition and inspired me to do for everyone’s family what Nathan Pritikin did for my family.

For more on central artery disease, see How Not to Die from Heart Disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-heart-disease) and the gazillions of videos I have on heart disease.

Some questions inevitable arise, though: Canned Beans or Cooked Beans? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/canned-beans-or-cooked-beans/), not to mention Beans and Gas: Clearing the Air (https://nutritionfacts.org/2011/12/05/beans-and-gas-clearing-the-air/).

What’s this daily dozen thing I mentioned in the video? That’s from my book How Not to Die (see How Not to Die: An Animated Summary (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-an-animated-summary/)) encapsulated in these videos (in two different animation styles!): Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen Checklist (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist/) or the more fanciful Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen Checklist (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist-2/).
