Prescription: Nutrition Episode 3 - Spilling the Beans

I team up with chef Rich Landau and public health nutritionist Tracye McQuirter to discuss the health benefits and preparation of beans.

Subscribe to Dr. Gregerâ??s free nutrition newsletter at http://www.nutritionfacts.org/subscribe and get a free excerpt from his latest NYT Bestseller HOW NOT TO DIE. (All proceeds Dr. Greger receives from his books, DVDs, and speaking directly support NutritionFacts.org).

I was approached by CuriosityStream, a new on-demand streaming service for documentaries and non-fiction programming created by Discovery Channel founder John Hendricks, about doing a 4-part series on healthy eating. I agreed if they would offer at least limited time access to the series for free.

You may remember seeing the first episode on NutritionFacts.org over this past year, and they are now letting us share this one, the 3rd. The other three episodes of Prescription: Nutrition are available to watch now on CuriosityStream for free, but you have to sign up for a 30-day trial. If you donâ??t want to continue the trial make sure to cancel before the 30 days or theyâ??ll start charging you. To access the 30-day trial, visit https://www.CuriosityStream.com and use the special code NUTRITION. This offer must be redeemed by December 31st, 2018.

How did this all come about? Elizabeth North, president and CEO of CuriosityStream (https://www.curiositystream.com/), began her own journey toward plant-based eating when she was struggling with some health scares. She saw immediate benefits. â??I realized astounding improvements in my health (and surprisingly, my fitness) from eating so many fresh fruits and vegetables,â? she said. â??Not only did I start consuming mass quantities of plant-based foods, but I also began consuming books, from The China Study to Eat To Live to Dr. Gregerâ??s How Not To Die. The authors had differing perspectives on diet, but all experts agreed that adding more fresh fruits and vegetables is the first step to improving your nutrition and your overall health.â?

The episodes in the series are:
Ep1 â?? Green Revolution
Ep2 â?? Grain of Truth
Ep3 â?? Spilling the Beans
Ep4 â?? Natureâ??s Candy
