Confused About Dietary Advise.... Let's Bring Some Simple Clarity!

If confused about dietary advice I think this is one of the best common sense summaries of why a mostly plant-based diet is the diet of choice. Especially Dr. McDougall's "Four of My Own Eye-opening Experiences" over 40 years of using diet therapy... Just really read those experiences...
 

Especially the links to:

Dr. Denis Burkitt, MD, former head of the ministries of health of Uganda, Africa...

Dr. McDougall's personal experience of caring for 5,000 Hawaiian Sugar Plantation
patients between 1973 and 1976... Read More

Walter Kempner, MD, from Duke University, "cured" obese patients and those
"nearly-dead" with failing hearts and kidneys with a diet of white rice, fruits,
fruit juice, and sugar.... READ MORE!

Nathan Pritikin, world-respected diet researcher who helped cure hundreds of
thousands of overweight, sick people.... Read More

If you really read these, you will know more than most health professionals and if you
just pay attention to food reactions....because they can happen with any food,
your risk to chronic disease will be eliminated and you will have excellent health
and vibrance.....Take time to read the logic. It will pay off!

Be and Stay Well,

Kirk

Garlic Reduces Lead Levels Like Drug But Also Reduced Symptoms and Drug Didn't!

Eating the equivalent of 2 garlic cloves per day (1/8 teaspoon of dried garlic powder (1200 mcg) in capsules 3 x daily) reduced lead levels similar to the chelation drug d-penicillamine BUT also reduced irritability, headaches and blood pressure after treatment but the drug, d-penicillamine, did not!

Stopping Aging by Eating Foods That Increase Your Telomeres!

Dr. Cindy Leung ScD MPH from the University of California, San Francisco gave an excellent presentation on sugar-sweetened beverages, food and diet patterns and how they effect telomere length, and thereby aging. Imagine telomeres to be the "plastic cap", at the end of your show lace that keeps it from unraveling and fraying.
 
Telomeres are what keep your DNA on your chromosomes from "degrading" so-to-speak. If your telomeres erode fast you age quicker. If they stay stable or in some cases increase you slow or stop the aging process in a sense. So it's a hot topic of things that you can do (exercise or be sedentary) or take (nutraceuticals, foods diet patterns) to improve your telomeres.

What Dr. Leung and her colleagues discovered was that:

Foods that shorten telomeres (not good, increase aging)

- Red meats (saturated fat)
- Processed meats
- Butter
- Sugar sweetened beverages
- White flour (refined carbohydates)
- whole fat milk products (?)

(NOT A FOOD BUT SO DID STRESS, ESPECIALLY CARE TAKING REDUCED TELOMERE LENGTH)

Foods that lengthened telomeres (good, slowed or reversed aging) were:

- FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
- Seaweed
- Whole grains, cereal fibers
- Omega-3 fatty acids (salmon)
- Nuts
- Moderate alcohol
- Non-fat dairy (?)
- (EXERCISE !)

Sugary beverage and food consumption, and leukocyte telomere length maintenance in pregnant women.

Soda and cell aging: associations between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption
and leukocyte telomere length in healthy adults from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Surveys.

Saturated Fat for Your Heart? Not So Fast! Let The Amazonian Tsimane Teach Us!

While I am a plant-based guy, I think this study, and Dr. Katz's commentary on it, of the Tsimane, a hunter gatherer population in the Bolivian Amazon, and their low risk to heart disease, is spot on! His short review of this study is an outstanding commentary on what a good diet is! The study is an interesting read as well! How did they do coronary calcium scores on this Amazonian tribe? A portable CAT scan machine?

"Ain't" No Gym Memberships in the Blue Zones! Try Some "Home" Work!

This excellent article notes the importance of getting "Blue Zone exercise" for longevity WITHOUT a gym membership!... There are no gym memberships in most Blue Zones where they live to be 90 to 110 and very functional!  Try these around the house tips for exercise for longevity and weight reduction! I will give you a hint...it's not about how many hours you sit in your recliner chair and watch TV!

I am absolutely not saying don't go to the gym! I go almost every day....BUT you should not make your life too "convenient" at home. Constant, low intensity household work can burn a lot of calories each day! We call this "Non-Exercise" Exercise!!! It adds up!

Vitamin D for Fibromyalgia is a Good Thing!

While I don't think vitamin D deficiency is the cause of fibromyalgia, taking adequate amounts of vitamin D is so easy, safe and cheap to do and test for, and, it is beneficial in so many other conditions that it is a "no brainer" to take.  I can tell you from testing and giving vitamin D to hundreds if not thousands of patients that 5000 IU daily will get you into the sufficient range and I have NEVER seen this dose come close to toxic levels. In fact, I will put brand new patients on 10,000 IU per day and measure them in a month and have never seen anything close to toxicity. I have seen patients get high levels when they have "mistakeningly" taken 40,000-50,000 IU daily by mistake for several months. So ALWAYS have your vitamin D level checked within a month of taking your dose of vitamin D. Ideally do it at baseline then a month.  (Read More Here...)

Carbs That Are Good For Your Gut!

- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Assist with weight loss
- Decreases risk of colon cancer
- Used as a sauce thickener
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve your thinking and mood
