Seniors: 3 Vegetables to Avoid & 3 to Eat for Stronger Joints and More Energy | Dr. William Li
As we age, the foods we choose can either fuel our vitality or quietly drain it away. In this empowering talk, Dr. William Li reveals the three vegetables seniors should limit to protect their joints and energy — and the three vegetables that can actually strengthen cartilage, fight inflammation, and restore vitality. Backed by the latest science, this presentation shows you how food truly functions as medicine, and how even small daily choices can transform mobility, energy, and quality of life. You will discover how hidden compounds in certain vegetables can trigger joint pain, why blood sugar spikes silently damage cartilage, and how oxalates can deplete energy. Most importantly, you will learn which vegetables build collagen, protect bones, feed the gut microbiome, and boost circulation — giving seniors the tools to stay active and independent longer. Stay with Dr. Li until the end, where he shares practical tips you can begin using today to feel more energized, move with greater ease, and enjoy life to the fullest.
